    Every window in the house was closed, they always are at night.

    Not had them in the house ( flying and crawling things are banned form my inside property, on pain of instant death), but I have come out after some rain to find the pool cram full of small flying things.  It only seems to happen maybe once or twice per year, then nothing. I would think that its nothing to really worry about and will not happen again for a long time. Nothing much you can do about it anyway.  Just as an aside, our doors and windows never get opened, except to enter and leave the house of course, otherwise its as tight as a drum and generally free of insects of all kinds, thank goodness.

    Doctor Anutin said that there are plenty of vaccines of every brand with enough for everyone on June 7 (tomorrow). 

    as I say, its either misinformation due to ignorance or more likely, bare faced lies. What is he a Doctor of, 'Fantasy and Creative Speaking'.

    Take your medication as normal. I also have white-coat. The were stunned when my bp was 180/110. So I had to sit for some time to bring it down. At home. I'm usually 130+/80+. 

    I shouldn't say they will refuse you, but will ask you to rest some time before the injection. 

    That's a BP issue not a covid vaccine issue, per see.  They are probably trying to deal with a stress situation in the person rather than any worry that the vaccine itself would exacerbate a BP problem, as there is no evidence that I have read that suggests that any of them do that.

    Well I haven't heard that one, as far as I know no one in the UK had BP checked, perhaps we could have some reports from around the planet to either confirm or deny.

     

    I'll just add that I take BP medication, and unfortunately suffer with white coat syndrome, my BP is rarely normal in a situation like that.

    its garbage, just ignore that rumour.  They are actually prioritising the older and  vulnerable and /or with underlying conditions, that make them susceptible to a bad covid 19 reaction.

    I did not know that I could register online (I am foreigner with only a passport) and I thought that from 7 June I could register myself at the nearby university hospital where they have my medical data since a very long time (because of yearly general checkups) : did I misunderstand?

    yes, they know nothing about any national registration process. 

  6. Its as much about after shower skin treatment as water supply.  I have had times of itchy skin after water immersion  in all kinds of water, sea, fresh, soft and hard.  Moisturising your skin after a shower can help a lot as can using a anti bacterial powder in the worst places. You cant do much about your water supply, and its largely irrelevant anyway, but you can look after your skin and pick unperfumed soap and shower products.

    It takes as long as it takes for you to sort out the documents and apply for a visa etc.

     

    IF you already have the correct documentation and are holding a visa or valid extension of stay then everything can be achieved very quickly.

     

    My latest CoE applied for in March 2021 was received within 3 hours of registration.

    I was already holding all the required documentation. 

     

    IF someone has a Visa (or / and are holding a valid extension of stay etc) the slowest part of the process is perhaps securing insurance and the Certificate of Insurance Cover.

     

     

    - Scanned Copy of Visa and Marriage Cert take minutes

    - It took me 24 hrs to receive a Certificate of Insurance (after researching the insurance I wanted)

    - It takes a few mins to book an ASQ on agoda (after someone has searched and found the place they like)

    - It takes a few mins to book a flight

     

     

     

     

     

    sorry but you misunderstood me, no doubt that was my fault in not being clearer.

    I know all the requirements, for both entering the UK as a UK citizen, from Thailand and for returning to Thailand with my existing Extension and Entry Permit.  I was most interested in the time it takes to get the necessary Covid tests, bookings of aircraft to both go and get back.   Is this a one day job, as it used to be, or a 7 day job?  I have no real feel for that.  Hence my question.

    So at least 2 races a month that is 20 pounds to watch 2 races, while for considerably less you could have all UK and other countries for a full month, and no vpn needed.

     

     

    NOW TV requires a VPN connected to UK. As I'm not remotely  interested in any other TV programming, it works for me. It is also only for 9 months of the year, a full F1 season. 

  9. NOW TV is maybe your best bet, but its expensive and you need a good VPN.  39.99 pounds per month for a full service or 9.99 pounds for a one day pass. I pay the one day pass to get Sky F1 coverage. Frankly, there is absolutely nothing on UK TV, bar F1, that I want to watch.
