How long before applying for an extension of stay do the 800,000 THB have to be deposited? The reason I ask is that I would prefer to keep those funds in a separate Thai savings account dedicated exclusively to the 800,000 THB, while continuing to use my current savings account for my everyday transactions. However, I believe I can only open this second savings account while I am physically in Thailand. Therefore, if the required qualifying period starts before I have been able to open the second account, I may have no choice but to transfer the 800,000 THB from France into my current savings account first and then, after opening the new account, transfer the funds from my current savings account to the dedicated one. If I do that: Would the qualifying period start from the date the funds first arrived in my current Thai account, or only from the date they were transferred to the dedicated account? If Immigration expects the funds to have come from overseas, would transferring them from my current Thai account to the dedicated account cause any problem? In other words, would the overseas origin of the funds still be recognised, or would the transfer simply appear as a domestic transfer? One last question regarding the lease agreement. I normally stay in Thailand for 5 to 6 months each year, but on my next trip I will only be staying for 89 days. I usually rent an Airbnb, so any lease agreement I can provide would naturally be limited to the duration of my stay. Would such a lease agreement normally be acceptable for an extension of stay, or do Immigration offices generally expect a longer-term lease (for example, 12 months)?

Context and the era are important. Johnny Rotten illustrates this. He was not a particularly accomplished musician, nor given to the "idol" image, but time has shown that he is one of the most stand up honourable and independent musicians of his era. A man who was anti drug, more inherently decent and ethically straight than his detractors, he cut a unique line in the music industry. He called out Jimmy Savile at a time when powerful people were protecting him, and Johnny paid for it. Eminem is like that too. A man with a focused, disciplined work ethic, and like Johnny a very strong family man who is more moral than his establishment detractoirs ever were. Elton John can be slagged off as a wobbly old bloated man in a toupee, but in his day he put on shows that entertained like no one else. He wrote songs with Bernie Taupin that are standards and hold up today. In their time, Irving Berlin and Sammy Cahn blew everyone out of the water and were leaders in modern music, but few born in the past 25 years knows who they are. People make fun of Neil Diamond, yet Sweet Caroline is a staple of football matches in the UK. James Last and Andre Rieu came off as hokey and the entertainers for geriatrics, yet their fans were immense and fiercely loyal. Some dismiss the KPop kings BTS as fake or fluff, yet they command tens of millions of devotees who would die for them. They are tight and near perfect in every performance. The Ramones look like dimwitted clowns today, but in their era, they were potent and unique. Same for the Beastie Boys. And so it goes. Every period will have its great ones until they are forgotten.

Also, some analysts are worried that U.S. refineries may not be able to keep running close to capacity, noting that there have been more unplanned outages than expected lately.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 08:51:12 +0000on my wave length, Fleetwood Mac, Sex Pistols.......Fri, 03 Jul 2026 08:50:48 +0000There's a new word for me....upthread., which would not be allowed on Countdown as it should be hyphenated.

The latest drone attack has forced another major facility to halt operations, increasing pressure on Russia's domestic fuel supplies. The overnight strike targeted the Lukoil-operated refinery in Kstovo, in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region, a site regarded as one of the principal suppliers of petrol and diesel to the Moscow area. Major Refinery Forced Offline Ukraine's General Staff said the attack triggered a fire and damaged a primary crude oil processing unit responsible for roughly a quarter of the refinery's capacity. Russian officials said around 30 drones were involved and described the damage as "non-critical", but the refinery has reportedly suspended oil processing. The Kstovo plant ranks among Russia's ten largest refineries, producing around five million tonnes each of petrol and diesel annually. Any prolonged disruption is likely to place further strain on domestic fuel distribution. Moscow's Supply Network Under Pressure The strike adds to mounting disruption across the refineries supplying Russia's capital. The Ryazan refinery has reportedly remained offline since a Ukrainian attack in May, while the Moscow refinery at Kapotnya halted processing after separate strikes in June. That leaves the Yaroslavl refinery as one of the few major facilities still operating, although it has also faced repeated drone attacks. Analysts say Russia may increasingly rely on fuel imports from Belarus, a more expensive option that could drive up prices. Economic Costs Continue to Rise Ukraine has steadily expanded its long-range drone campaign, targeting oil depots, refineries and other strategic energy assets deep inside Russian territory. The strategy aims to weaken Russia's logistics, disrupt military supply chains and raise the economic cost of the war. Reports of rising fuel prices and local shortages have fuelled concerns about growing pressure on Russia's energy sector. Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously acknowledged fuel supply difficulties, while officials continue to insist the country's overall energy system remains stable despite repeated Ukrainian strikes. The latest attack underscores Ukraine's determination to keep hitting critical infrastructure far behind the front line, turning Russia's energy network into an increasingly important battlefield in the wider war.
