I guess it depends on which brain you are referring to.

from a pre-boomer

The American Presidency has become a Soap Opera: Tariffs on Tariffs off. Greenland in - Canada in - some hopes. Non elected personnel having access to private information and putting people out of work. Minerals for Peace. Peace on Peace off. Now sharing strategy meetings with journalists on non government. messaging app. Not what we expect from the "leader of the free world" 4 more years of this - heaven help us

Yes at least 15 years ago I had an account with Cahoot ( subsiduary of Santander) I was able to create one off card numbers for online purchases - after a few years they took the option away - sometimes I think banks are on the side of the criminals!!

Price tickets by weight Over a certain weight buy 2 seats

I thought spliffs were now illegal if so maybe you'll be chilling out as things are getting worse

I-smartlife - they have a laptop that I want (same spec) 6K cheaper than advice (on 30K). Thanks

Please send Musk to Mars and leave the robot here.

I must say at the moment I prefer living to dying and as far as dying is concerned I won't be here to worry where it is - I am afraid it is others who will have to pick up the pieces so before I go I'm trying to get as much as I can "in order"

Does anyone know how long after purchase you can reclaim VAT when leaving the country?

Not really - this is at several different places (Macro Tesco 7/11) in several different locations and different brands (Meiji Dutch). Today managed to get last bottle (2L) of Meiji at a Tesco > My guess is a public health issue but that's a guess or 0% has become very popular with Thais (but I doubt that).

For the past couple of weeks in my area (Korat) I have been unable to buy it Anyone know if there is an issue

And I always thought "Life was a bowl of Cherries"

Not available in Thailand then?

Exactly my point

I have a knee issue that I would like to treat but what do all these initials stand for please? Thanks

Many people would say Donald Trump (who you have posted about times before) was "smart" after all he became President twice - yet would you say he knows the difference between "fact" and "opinion" (and indeed stating something as a "fact" just because it served his purpose).

Now there is another lovely word to argue about "smart"

I agree with your point but I would change "don't accept facts" to "don't accept other people can have different opinions". The word "fact" is a minefield - "facts" change - one the most famous ones was "the world is flat" until someone proved otherwise. And in the political arena one man's fact is another man's poison!

YES

You are of course right. A serious answer to a tongue in cheek post.

You see that everywhere I always check the singles price versus the "offers" and sometimes the "refill packs" are more expensive than the bottle you would refill. As one famous TV police sergeant once said "let's be careful out there" - if anyone can remember Hill Street Blues.

But who of the "top" players (including Mr Do(d)gey is going to jump or be pushed off first or will they all stay the course?

183 not 180??

Since I started the thread and I went today to extend my Non O retirement at Korat immigration. I'm not trying to be contentious or disagree with all the helpful previous responses but this is what actually happend: TM 30 (issued 22 November 24) accepted. Blue ink produced by overlaying in a pdf program on my computer not liked by initial (trainee checkers who help you fill in forms) but not a problem with main checkers and immigration officer (I use this method because I have arthritis in my writing hand and my writing is difficult to read). STM2 form has changed from last year (as far as I could make out only in so far as two sheets have become double sided) Took the precaution of getting a blank set to scan. Everyone helpful and friendly to deal with. One thing to note - two pages on the blue book (the initial page and the page with the owners? name) need to be copied to the same sheet. Got the extension, 90 day report done, new TM 30 and single re-entry stamp done by the immigration officer all in one go. Oh yes, Internet went down for an hour or so whilst I was having the stamps put in the passport. Funnily enough the same happened last year but there is a really nice restaurant just opposite so no sweat 😃.
