In the last five weeks I have downloaded 250+ movies and heaps of TV shows the big majority of it has come from kickass, they have a large following so lots of ...

New office for Immigration

Went into immigration today to do our 90 day report. While shooting the breeze they told us Immigration would be moving to the New building going up near the HH police station. They thought it would be 4 to 6 months before the building was ready for occupancy. That sounds like a much more convenient...

We made it in Australia all the time, really nice and you could add whatever you like to it. We used Easy yo, it is made in new zealand and you might be able to order it from there. You can stretch the packs of Easy Yo by adding a bit of powdered milk, to your taste. Let us all know how your researc...

Thought I would add my two cents worth on Invadeit and have nothing but the highest regard for Thomas and Christian in knowing their business. As I mentioned a month or so ago I was having computer problems and went to Invadeit to have it repaired. Unfortunately it is to old to get replacement parts...

Don't think you will get much sympathy here if that is what you are looking for. I agree sounds like Pattaya would be more to your liking. Give it a try. Check back in a few years and let us know how you like it there.

it doesnt help when the governor of the bank of england calls for a weaker pound If you are a politician and a event you don't know how to control happens, the best thing you can do as say that is the way we want it, and planned it because it is good for you.

The manager of our condo, got our passport numbers from us a couple of days ago. Today he stuck a permit on our windscreen. No strain no pain. We had decided not to worry about it and just stay out of town for a few days. But now with the sticker on our windscreen, will probably still stay out of to...

Thanks Waunderlust, I don't do any gaming with it so don't need anything to fancy there. But spending a few thousand baht on a graphics card seems realistic as it has been a good system and handles what I do very well. Actually probably overkill for the way I use a computer, I didn't want to have to...

Connected the monitor to another computer and it worked fine. Reconnected to my PC and all stripes (or stipes) changing frequently.

Time to take it to computer shop?

Is it difficult to recover photos and music from Hard Drive on failed computer? In event I get new computer.

Thanks

The aussie and the kiwi are both looking good compared to US/UK and the baht is also holding it's own. My bet is the AUD will hit parity with USD by early next year. I'm not a doom & gloomer but the USD and pound sterling are not looking to good anytime soon. When they get done passing around mo...

You are the man, great info. As soon as I get my monitor problem sorted I'm going to see how the downloading goes.

Once I get a library of movies going I will PM you a list and if any of them look of interest to you will send you a copy. Least I can do for all the info.

Norm :cheers:
