  1. More likely they were expected to work and decided not to! It is a little while but I was struggling to get service in there but darn they were so cute I said nothing.
  2. Jane Seymour..
  3. Yeah, that is how I felt until I turned 7!
  4. Sadly not to be, well hammered! Some surprising results yesterday.
  5. Now that the Xmas dinners are all done and dusted, I was just wondering where all these eateries get their Brussels Sprouts from! So does anyone know where, in town, this veg can be found....quite partial to them and they can be readily wok cooked?
  6. Thanks, I appreciate that. Big Fascino on Nua? Do you wash these things now and again or chuck them away and buy new? Any idea how long they are good for? I have avoided full face helmets because they are hot and get sweaty, but this is concerning me lately. I always feel worst the evening or next day after having been riding he bike around town a lot.
  7. If it is sand they would do better getting it back onto the beach!
  8. A little like the radio announcement of the temperature when I was driving to or from work in Phoenix, to them 99 degF, while my car proudly displayed a few over 100. I dread to think what I am breathing in waiting at a red light in town, the smoke belching coach exhaust pointing my way, the blank zombie faces above staring down at me, the baht bus arrogantly spitting my way, and I am more concerned of the silky legs on display. I start to feel short winded often, would a face mask do anything? A Darth Vader helmet is likely what I need. or a Hazmat suit.
  9. I presume that means you are using baht to buy dollars, that rate is usually 40 satang larger than buying baht , selling USD (which is what we are normally doing). Maybe that explains it?
  10. Today AM, 28th December. If you have just landed from UK, you may want to go back home!
  11. Well my friend confessed yesterday that he does sometimes tie his white hair back into a ponytail, so I suspect it was him you saw at immigration . Although by my evaluation his craggy looks do reveal his age. Perhaps I am relating to my own reflection, you to yours?
  12. Sadly, she only had one eye. obviously for me.
  13. I had a good compliment recently as I ran into a Thai lady I had not seen for many years at a wedding. She said Thai men just get older, falang men get more handsome.
  14. I would be surprised he ties his hair back but he might, I could add he is 80 yo and sometimes wears one of those leather hats. I believe he got number 3. You won't see him there today as he will leave his passport until Thursday, today he is coming to my place for some grub and yakkety yak! He is the type to have a few things confused but reported to me it all went efficiently. Even this guy sounds familiar, of a German guy lived around Arunothai near a friend of mine, down to the description of his partner. Sounds like quite the experience reminiscent of the bar scene in the first Star Wars film.
  15. Was it a tall thin Ozzie with scraggly white hair? Based on your recommendation I told him to go Christmas day and he sort of told me he did, then told me it was really busy Christmas Eve. I asked him why he went Christmas Eve then, and he brushed it off saying he got photo and forms and copies done. He also got clamped as he parked in a condo building nearby which cost him 1000 baht. He also said he had to wait until 8.30 for them to start work on Christmas Day having arrived at 07.30, what a fool!
  16. Jack Nicholson
  17. Not available, last chance with British embassy was to apply 12th Dec. He seems to think his monthly deposits into a Thai bank will cover it, that brings him close to the 400k (married ext) and he plans to have some cash on deposit for the rest. He has been told that will be acceptable, but of course no official statement yet!
  18. That is sort of how the conversation came about as my friend is also due around April. I asked if he had pursued an Income letter to be used then, and he told me it wouldn't be any use to him.
  19. Not everywhere... spoke to a friend in the North where he has been told (very recently) 2 months validity only. Smaller offices seem to do as they please!
  20. No it is actors who physically are in the films and credited..... Rules in the OP.
  21. Michael J. Fox
  22. Already Used.... with Back to the Future, by you..
  23. Although if it turns out to be children would that apply.
  24. Liverpool make it look easy and are guaranteed the top spot for Christmas with a 0-2 win at Wolves.
  25. You mean time to stop droning on about Brexit... abso-bloody-lutely! Latest Gatwick: Aircraft were left circling above the area during the latest alert, which came at about 17:10 GMT. Flights resumed less than 90 minutes later.
