Hope you dont play it, imagine winning and being unable to claim, arrgghh nightmare.

I have one ticket on direct debit  and when I win the money goes straight into my UK account.  So far it has worked,  but I've never won more than 100 pounds.  If it was 1 million, that might be problematic. 

I use Express VPN. I need it for access to UK and US Netflix, HBO, and for online teaching when I do it. IT also allows access to UK lottery. I would not do without it.

Your serious? Really Serious?  If so I am at a loss for words.  The tone for homeschooling is set when they, the children, sit down at the table, turn on the tablet, log in and its time for learning.  Wearing a freaking uniform or smart dress is just unnecessary.  Do you think all those people working from home are getting dressed in their business and work attire while working on-line and completing paperwork or making phone calls in the confines of their own homes.  If you do believe this then I have some ocean front property for you to buy in Nevada.

there is no debating with you, you are being too illogical. I will leave it.

in the western education system the students don't wear uniforms

where do you get that idea from?  All the schools my kids attended in the UK and all and any that I have seen, all have a uniform.

It's 10 kinds of crazy, send your kid to public school and this is what you get. This the education the salespeople at Thaiwhatsadu who are hiding in the aisles playing on there phone get.

Its 100 kinds of sensible, unless you have no real  interest or commitment to your child's attitudes, discipline, application and education.  Many families who home school their kids, insist on smart dress for the child and the Mum or Dad when they teach.  It sets the scene, that this is a serious learning time and not game play.

stupid ideas approved.. Dear students just don't wear your school uniform for online learning.. It is useless and ridiculous

 

it is not at all.  See my comments above. It is a sensible move.

Almost every woman I became close to used me and dumped me when they no longer had use for me.

I think learning not to trust women means that I did acquire wisdom- the wisdom to see females for what they are and not what I'd like them to be.

 

NB, I'm not saying every woman is untrustworthy, but seems that most I had affection for were.

I know this sounds a bit sad, and off topic, but I would like to go back and see my late wife just one more time.  I really haven't ever got over losing her to cancer, despite now being married to my present, lovely lady for 24 years.

I wish I could time travel and educate my 20 year old self to not be so gullible, to not take women at face value, and to never lend lots of money to friends or in laws.

I think we all wish that. 

OP, yes, you can get Tram here, but also Ultracet, which is,  I think, 30% Tram and 70% Paracetamol.  It maybe a better bet and easier to get, although it is a controlled medicine, it is also less addictive. For both you may have to ask a few pharmacies before you find one that will give it to you without a prescription.  

OP, isn't that just a small car?

the Thai traffic laws are not available in english, and I've been searching for them for the past 7 years. The answer I gave was given to me by my local Land Transport Office and by a friend of my wife who is a policeman. The fact that both gave the same answer leads me to believe it to be correct.

AS far as I know, the UK traffic laws are not available in Thai?   Why should the Thai ones be in English?

How dumb was that.  I have never heard of anyone agreeing to such a odd arrangement. The phrase more money than sense comes to mind.

No you are not, but I notice you couldn't resist your usual Thai bashing

There is a lot to bash.

Just because you havent heard from your school yet, does not mean they haven't received the letter.

 

 

They've just got to find someone on the staff who can read.  

Our gyms in Chon Buri Province are also still closed.  The lady that runs our gym says that it will be at least another month before they get the all clear to open.  Goodness only knows why this is so, it  makes no sense, as around here the restaurants , fresh food markets, supermarkets and coffee shops are all operating normally.  

Most definitely.  I am not remotely the same person as I was in my twenties and as each decade has passed I have changed, sometimes for the better ( education and learning), sometimes its been  not so good. I am much more suspicious and cynical than I ever was before.  I trust very few people and I can't stand stupidity in people or organisations and I just don't think much of the human race as a species. On the plus side, ironically given what I have just written, I am more sympathetic to the poor and disadvantaged and have great empathy for the plight of those less fortunate than I am or have been. My younger self would not recognise my older self.
