Similar ghastly make over going on in Talat Noi ........ added to the wholesale destruction of old "shophouses " ,is rapidly turning these two areas with great cultural and architectural significance into another bland MALL scape ... The government seem set on recreating another Singapore , and what a dull place that is ! The Bangkok riverside of Lord Jim has all but disappeared , and not for the better in my book .

move to a better neighbourhood , and loose some weight ........ would be a step in the right direction for an easier time here

I dot think the UK SUBSIDICES milk .... but I'm absolutely sure that the supermarkets drive a very very hard bargain with the farmers who earn a few pence per Lt . Milk often a loss leader for the supermarkets .....

..... reminds me of the old joke about the fishing vessel sinking in the North Sea ....... the English captain on the radio " we are sinking ....we are sinking " the German coast guard " yes all very good, but WHAT are you sinking ? "

slightly off topic ..... but . in the early 80's in the days of paper pushing and Don Mueang ,if you stayed here for more that 180 days you had to do something called " Tax Clearance ". I did it a couple of times .... but have no great recollection of it .... I used to life around Khao San road those days and I think went to an office in Ratchadamneron Klang to get a paper stamped ( possibly in the passport I just don't remember). But I am sure that people got turned away at the airport who had not got their paperwork in order ..... Anyone else remember that stuff ? I mention it because I could see people trying to exit, being stopped if they didn't have proof of having made a tax return ....

all very straight forward I though last month ..... colour photocopies ..... no accompanying neighbours .... . Hoping next weeks collection is as straight forward ....

current Civil service... so unlikely ! But point taken Spoling never my fing at Skool 555 !

total waist of time ...... most of the types this advise is aimed at can't read ....

just keep lapping up the coolaid ...... wikipedia so much easier than critical thinking ......

life in the Uk test IS easy .... my ex wife passed it .... she bought the crib book like everyone else does to help her pass it ........ also 80% of asylum seekers are successful in the UK ..... maybe take the rose tinted glasses off

yea right coz everyone arriving on a boat goes that route ! I think u need to think a little more out of the box ...... like crims do the life in the UK test is a piece of piss for anyone you can remember a few historical facts ..... as for the English test .... its beyond easy , and the institutions that the test is farmed out to have a vested interest in candidates passing ..... And I'm not basing this on hearsay but lived experience

I think its fair to say we did not invade Pakistan .... what we did was help invent ,and draw up the map when India was sick to the back teeth of it .....

talking of which Frits ......

...... until it comes to Consular services !

UK passport available to pretty much everyone these days ..... on the plus size he's not drenched in Tattoos and been in a fight .....
