Yes I saw the white car force it's way past and push in front previously before the machete was produced, at about -1.50, but there was something happened just before that that skipped as the white car was previously in front. There was a good bit of argy-bargy going on. I have been in similar circumstances myself, once particularly with a large van with BKK plates as the traffic queued impatiently on Soi Yume to get to Klang... the Klang/Suk junction was closed at the time. I was on my fuxing bike at the time and he nearly knocked me off. Road rage seems to be on the up and up. It seems to be an urgency in local drivers in that they have to pass even if it benefits little... how many times have I had someone pass far too close to then pull in front of me and brake to make a left turn! Fortunately I won't have to be taking or picking up kids for school and being 50 years too late!

What on earth are you talking about? Who mentioned scrapping it? SQ leased the first ever produced A380, and SQ have decided 19 of them fulfils their requirements. It is a leased aircraft they are returning to the leasing company, as they pride themselves in having a modern fleet. If they were such a disaster would SQ be replacing this and the other four leased A380s with ones ordered and due for delivery in 2018 and 2019? Your post appears to be more of a windup. The earliest model A380s were slightly heavier than the more recently built ones, so it’s not surprising that they’re less desirable. Furthermore, Singapore does have an aggressive fleet renewal plan, with a total of 62 A350 and 30 787-10 aircraft on order, so they’ll be able to grow plenty without keeping the A380 around.

Yes the printed receipts that come out of the tills here do fade off pretty quickly, it is a conspiracy! Now I am looking for somewhere to take a few items to be fixed, electronics. I have one item at Numchai already, hopefully to be fixed free under the extended warranty I got there. As to others, well I read some negatives about both Numchai and Samsung service centre being rip-offs. The latter isn't a great place to park and carry a bloody great TV in either! I was experimenting with my pad and using wireless connect to use my TV as a display (only supported on Win 8.1 and 10), but the time lag when using a wireless keyboard is annoying, and the pad's little processor is struggling with all the work. My Win 7 laptop, with the fried HDMI,, well I will try a VGA to HDMI convertor. I set that up for a friend once and it worked OK... just not sure it will work for UHDTV. Might be a new laptop yet!!! So, I need a good repair place, easy to park and load and fair and reliable. So leave Tukcom, Samsung and Numchai out (or tell me I am wrong!). I have heard rumour of a paraplegic guy up Nerm Plab Wan who does mainly TVs. I got 1 TV, 1 Home theatre and a cheapo DVD player I would like to get fixed for not too much. Recommendations appreciated.

My well used retort when such happens is 'Sorry, was I talking while you were interrupting?'! (Then duck)

Yes, I was just going to say................no.....it's gone again.

Yez, I get a buttle of them.

A bit harsh on the Kopites....

Rocknrolla

Yeah, I saw that a little after I checked into the Evergreen building at the back paying 1800/night through Expedia.... I needed reminding...

Or wearing motorcycle helmets Or smoking in bars Or fixed fares for motorcycle taxis. Or sontaews only using stopping zones Or banning songtaews on Buakhao Or removing hundred of rental bikes blocking parking etc etc etc ad infinitum

Pack it in kiddies!

I used to get sent to other countries to go fix them! More than a few times! Where are you on this early retirement option you mentioned some months back?

And tossed into the sea.....

I am 62, at some point you have to admit your head has no room left! You decided to become a console watcher! I used to program them beep beeps designed to wake you up! I really just like to stream UK TV and be able to watch the odd TV series , for free! So far nearly 50,000 baht spent, upgraded the TV, and a new automatic gate motor/controller. Seemed sensible to upgrade and not fix stuff that already had past issues. Bloody Thailand though, just got out the receipt for my small bedroom TV, bought from Tesco, to see I have only had that for 8 months, and tried to call the numbers listed on it to see where I could take it to be repaired. None of the phone numbers on it work!!!

Asmor? Perhaps that is 'As for'? I was trying to look for alternatives to HDMI out, Simply, to use my TV as a remote monitor. I also control the laptop through the TV monitor. What you suggest here is new technology to me and I don't really understand it. I see it plugs into HDMI on the TV. What is done or needed at the laptop end?

Because?

Things have improved since then, I believe (When was that?) True guy came and put me a new router in. Also note the speed quoted above was to a local server, speed to overseas servers would be different. I find it varies dependent on time of day, and often the problem is the source server or is improved by switching in a VPN. There is a post above hinting at the dangers of Ethernet connections over Wi-Fi, particularly as I am suffering post lightening horrors. Got too many cables running around my floor as it is and at the moment, my priority is getting my gate to open!

300

No, that is wireless. But I did previously connect my laptop to the router with an Ethernet cable, and from the laptop to TV I plugged in a HDMI cable. That would be the laptop that now has a zapped HDMI port! My speed should be good, currently on my old laptop (which doesn't have a HDMI port), and it is linked to the internet on my wireless network and to a local server speed-tests at 60/25 Mbps

Yes officer, here I have 100,000 baht in cash here in my Speedos... you prick!

Can't afford Apple stuff! Bought a Samsung already. Still figuring a lot of things out. I know my previous TV could support some Apps but not Kodi. Previous attempts to cast video to my TV had too much lag to be watchable...I may have a bit to learn on getting this to work. At the moment getting by with a small Asus pad linked by HDMI to the new TV, but it lacks processing ability. Particularly if it has to handle a wireless keyboard and VPN too. Gate motor and electronics being worked on today.

There is the caveat that as your financial ability to enjoy retirement goes up, your physical ability goes down.

The new TV is slick.... it has a little remote that responds to voice commands. My Mrs is unimpressed as it turns Thai commands into funny phrases. I may be able to figure a way of getting UK TV to it without the laptop connected, but I doubt it. Don't imagine it would want to bypass all those lucrative subscriptions and let me load Kodi onto it. I already told the Mrs it is a 'Smart TV' so she can't use it, but in all honesty it has me foxed too!

In Firefox would using a 'New Private Window' take care of all that for you. I have noticed this tracking phenomenon myself, but only wondered if it came from cookies resident on your laptop, but also hit counts and IP address tracking at Skyscanner. Supply and demand at work.
