And therein lies the problem. For me Skype presents an exercise in frustration.

Acccept your info and recommendation, but last time I offloaded virus protection I seemed to get a lot of complications. (That was getting Norton off after Joe panned it!)It is an old lappy and I don't worry about it too much.

Further to this... I bit the bullet and Upgraded to AVG Free 9.0 on the GFs XP driven Laptop. I did it per the instructions and everything looks good.... although quite a few restarts were required.

It might not be guaranteed if you have a police record......

Anelka......

Was that Godfather 1 or 2?

Twas a bit Tongue-in-cheek Tom.Up here in Pattaya, the GO-GOs have pretty much given up on the law......... But you have a point..... a smoking boss/owner isn't likely to impose restrictions. I got back last night and the GF complained I stink of the ciggies.... places were devoid of customers so even the bored girls were puffing on the moron-sticks. But I think I spotted Ricky in Babydolls sporting one of those nicotine inhalers that glow violet at the end last night.... but later he was back on regular nails.....a smoky illusion??

You want another one that can be caught thieving........?A friend had this issue..... with every single cashier he ever hired, up to hiring a relative. Still under evaluation perhaps. Good luck....

These barowners, they think they are above the rules and laws.Some even allow smoking in their bars......

Ain't that true.... I just got back from one, the UK.The airport here makes the service in the UK look like Timbuktu.

Doesn't make sense to me, you find out a one way ticket costs more than a return so you book 2 one-way tickets..... Not a long trip my arse.... how long to drive to the airport in LA and SF????

Yes, but my snide comment was particularly aimed at 'Apple/Mac'...... who overprice the original product too.

No, I wouldn't want to run the Virus or Malware infected module.....especially after my 'protection' isolated or moved it. But like any 'missing file'..... a clean copy can be put back surely. I mean I have done this with single files (.dll modules springs to mind) and no apparent issue other than restoration of functionality..

He gave you an idea what the rents might be..... On a 2.5 million baht property 10% pa would be 20k/month. I would regard that as a very high rent for a little house on the darkside..... but it is achievable for a nice condo in town with a sea view. If your tenant will be there for the long term, yes good return If he moves on after 6 months, you lose.

There is no need to go back 'home' to get a retirement visa, it is an extension of a Non-imm O , and can be achieved (easier I think) in LOS. Some people do arrive in LOS with an OA visa, a Thailand retirement visa obtained in their home country. A little onerous to get in some countries. Perhaps you have been talking to people who use these. Another type of visa would be a straight non-imm O multiple which can get you 15 months in LOS. I think it is easier just to keep the 800k in a bank account here, but you can get the retirement extension with proof of income. This income needs the certification and is the bit I can't be arsed with.

I go back and get it!

Yes, glad you agree, but I wasn't specifically meaning policemen there. But since they are drawn from the general populace the statement must apply to them too. Most European policemen are aware that there are 'other' countries, USA ones have hardly grasped the concept of other states!

Who got LMD0P?

Well summed up, although you missed on the point of the price of the wheeled turd being 2 or 3 times the cost of something similar!

Would it not be suitable to find a clean copy of this module and put it into the right place.....?

Well since I have no facilities here in LOS to reload it the 'suck it and see' option doesn't apply. I don't want to reload it especially with a crappy windows copy.. I think I saw a warning pop up from AVG about having to load ver 9.0 'or else'.... so I may not get the choice. I'll be watching this thread.

Depends on whether it will be occasional use or living there full time? A condo of your own beats a hotel room, but after 25 years of mostly living in hotel rooms a single condo of under 40 m2 wouldn't appeal to me as a home..... perhaps make a good ST backup. I find having a spare shitter useful when she gets in one of them!

Thanks guys.... I ignored the AVG 'UPGRADE' prompt (from 8.5 to 9.0) when it popped up on my XP machine..... I went to the AVG site and they recommend saving the latest Free installation file (do not open directly from the internet) Reboot the computer after the download. Launch the previously saved file. Anybody know if this gets around the problems without uninstalling the previous AVG version? # Please download the latest AVG Free installation file from our website # When you are prompted, please do not open this file directly from the Internet, but click the "Save" button and browse to the location where you want the installation file to be stored. We recommend saving the file to the Desktop. # Reboot your computer. # Locate the downloaded AVG installation file (it has a four color square icon and its name starts with AVG_...) and launch the installation by double-clicking on it. # Follow the installation wizard. # If AVG asks you for a computer restart at the end of the installation, please do so.
