  1. It’s just been dragging on and on, their latest advice was to go into my local branch, despite the fact that I told them I was away in Thailand.
  2. I've used Wise for a few years and would thouroughly reccomend them, so am extremely displeased with a recent experience. My old bank closed my account last year because it was linked to a mortgage that had been paid off a few years ago. I opened a new account with Natwest and my company pension has been paid into it for a few months. I tried making a payment from Natwest to Wise, as I was setting them up as a payee a couple of warnings about possible scams came up, which I dismissed. I was asked if I'd been solicited to make a payment through Wise, to which I replied no. When I attempted to make the payment I was called by Natwest security who despite being given all of the requested information refused to process the payment and suspended my account. My brother has just tried to make a payment from his bank (not Natwest) and they have also suspended payment pending him contacting thier anti fraud team. Is this a new thing? Am I just unlucky or has anyone else experienced simmilar issues?
  3. Sounds like the case for the defence has already started; ‘....he’s vulnerable’.
  4. There was a big explosion and fire at the dragon museum in Suphanburi city a few years back and they had to rebuild a lot of it.
  5. Absolutely no need for the police to investigate, the AN armchair (or barstool) defective detectives are already on the case!
  6. Plenty of exciting things but the question was the most exciting so I uess that would have to be meeting my wife for the first time, not that the intervening years have been unexciting.
  7. Those of you who enjoyed 'Band of Brothers' and 'The Pacific' will probably like this new one from the same stable 'Masters of the Air' but you'll have to wait until January.
  8. I was sans computer for a couple of months then haven't posted for a while but have been lurking and picking up some good recommendations, so thanks. A few things I've recently watched are..... The War on Disco, a documentary about stuff that went on in the US but was comletely new to me. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/war-disco-teaser/ The Last Detective, a show that ran from 2003 to 2007 and somehow passed me by at the time, I'm quite enjoying it. "The series follows Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies. Davies discovered a crime committed by a fellow officer at the opening of the series, and is treated as a pariah by his colleagues as a consequence. Moreover, he is committed to his work and is staunchly humane, leading to a view of his being soft by colleagues, and a degree of grudging respect from local criminals. The show's title reflects the initial attitude of his superiors, who describe him as "the last detective" who would be considered to head up a major case. Recurring themes include Davies solving the apparently minor crimes he is given, often resolving more complex and associated crimes (historical or contemporary), and Davies repeatedly being the target of practical jokes by younger but more well positioned detectives in his unit.his colleagues as a consequence.

Season 4 of The Met: Policing London is out now, I've just finished season one and was left fuming at one case where a woman killed her four month olld baby through neglect of a most horrific nature yet escaped scot free, what a disgusting abuse of justice and whatever has gone wrong when such a heinous act can go unpunished. One man got 27 months for cruelty to a kitten, he's just one of over a hundred people per year imprisoned for animal cruelty but it seems that's viewed as being worse than cruelty to children. Rant over.
  9. Yes, especially those pesky electricity piles that keep darting in front of traffic!
  10. Was it parked or did the snake take a ride in it? Make your mind up.
  11. There doesn’t seem to have been a ‘happy ending’ to this woeful episode.
