Old Joke "When I want your opinion I'll give it to you". Seriously though everyone should be able to express an opinion as long as it stays as an opinion and not a personal criticism of another point of view

Nothing now but the concept is still there - special offer to suck you in and then you are hooked into their "subscription"

As the years go by - medical expenses, flight back home, your 80th+ birthday. As Reacher - would say hope for the best - plan for the worst!

I think the idea started with low cost razors with detachable heads first one cheap then....

I'm English!!! Americans may have stolen and adulterated my language but I shall speak it as I was taught. The prepositions around and round are often used interchangeably to describe enclosure or movement in a circular path, yet subtle differences exist in their usage. Around is more commonly accepted in American English as the go-to term for such situations, implying a more precise or metaphorical circuit. Conversely, round tends to be a more casual or colloquial form used primarily in British English, implying movement or a location in a generally circular shape.

That's a well known ploy for all printer manufacturers but there are many ways round it.

Has electrical shorted out?

I try to flaunt my poverty - less likely to have problems that way

I have quite a lot of debt on my UK cards - all at 0% until 2026. You have to use the credit card companies just as they use you - if they call in the debt it's not a problem - my philosophy better in my bank account than theirs

The point for me is this - I had licensed copies of office 2007 and 2010 and yet it seems Microsoft have stopped them being functional (and yes I know Microsoft's overbearing license terms) BUT it's sharp practise because they want to increase their profits - no other reason and don't give me the "security" arguement that's my risk and I am willing to take it.

Not true I am afraid - massive learning curve

To use an old English saying - that's for the birds

Thanks for the link doesn't appear to support 2007 or 2010 which I have genuine licenses for but does supply url for 2016 download so I will give it a try tomorrow Thanks again

I have Office 2007 (and 2010) which I never update) and about a couple of months ago they stopped working (I expect as a process to get me to update to office 365 - NO CHANCE). I use Libre Office - a learning curve but very similar to Office. Similarly my GPS (SYGIC) offers me an "update" to premium for a very low price but I know if I bite that will be an annual subscription as opposed to my "lifetime" purchase for my original product and who knows what the next years "subscription" will be - I have asked but no answer. I understand these companies have to make profits but now they want me to pay for their mistakes.

If you look hard enough almost everything you can eat, drink or put on your body has alledged links to cancer

Aaaaaaah awful stuff - also be careful with Olive Oil I bought some italian in one well known supermarket two bottles at a very good price - when I opened it I am sure it was fake - couldn't trace the reg number on the alleged suppliers web site - if it seems ...... https://www.euronews.com/culture/2024/01/15/olive-oil-scams-are-proliferating-how-do-you-spot-a-fake-extra-virgin For cooking I often use Coconut Oil which is fairly cheap over here but you can't beat the taste of bread toasted with Olive Oil. Now that really is Sabroso (in the meaning of the Spanish word - tasty). https://thecoconutmama.com/coconut-oil-vs-olive-oil-everything-you-need-to-know/

You throw a dart at the person if they get the aritmetic wrong?😀😰

So you saw if they ticked: ท่านมีสถานะเป็ นผู้มีถิ่น ที่อยู่เพื่อวัตถุประสงคใ์ นการเก็บภาษีอากรของประเทศอื่น ๆ ที่มิใช ่ประเทศไทยหรือส หรัฐอเมริกา ใช่หร ือไม่ Are you a resident for tax purpose of another country other than Thailand or the United States of America? Of course you may not be but if you are and they didn't tick it? And what I do not like my branch refused to give me a copy even though they amended what I had entered

That's a negative approach - how can things change if you "accept reality" I remember many many years ago on the London underground and British Rail there were just one non smoking carriage now there are none that was achieved by accepting reality?

Apples and Oranges I know but I bought a TCL TV 2 years ago - so bad I returned it and bought a Hisense - so not a brand I have confidence in

Could be you are financing her exit from the relationship (if it can be called that)

They did it for you except you signed? Know what you signed?

I agree with you - I have used Daikin and have had the same experience but this is a spare bedroom and will not be used enough to justify the expense. So I am looking for a compromise between noise and cost and I have read that Hisense (love their TVs) prioritise quietness so I was just asking in case someone had a Hisense. In the main bedroom I have a Mitsubishi Mr Slim been going for around eight years and still very quiet

I didn't see the word Thai in my post (deliberately since it was meant to be a joke applicable anywhere in the world)

Need one for small spare bedroom - noise important anyone experience of Haier or Hisense 9000 BTU enough
