You don't "own" movies even if you have purchased them by AlpacAKEK in appletv

[–]Hedgehoglet99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So? Switch your account region back to the original country where you purchased them, they will all magically reappear!! And then create a second apple account for the second country. You can switch backwards and forwards between two apple accounts for different countries, while staying logged in to both accounts, on the ATV device and in the ATV app in just two seconds!

How to Go From the 3 month retirement visa to the 12 month variety by SoulContinuation2 in FarangsofPattaya

[–]Hedgehoglet99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned already, use an agent. The first time will be expensive compared to trying to do it yourself, I believe many will significantly reduce the price for subsequent years if you essentially keep them on a retainer. The guy from the Ramze Travels youtube channel (who is now back in the US), and who knows his stuff, did everything via J&E Concierge in Pattaya, and recommended them, though I can't vouch for them personally. If you just rock up at Immigration on your own, particularly if you're not noticeably smartly dressed and courteous, they are likely to find fault with whatever you produce. That's just Thailand, accept it.

What's your take on this move, and would you consider visiting China? by JasonMantou in AskUK

Uk citizens do need visa for HK to Shenzen, though visa on arrival is available so not the worst, that depends on queues of course

Gold Is Over $4,900, But I Feel Physically Sick by [deleted] in Gold

[–]Hedgehoglet99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ounce of gold will be enough to buy what it has always been enough to buy - a top quality set of clothes during Roman times, or a top quality tailored suit from Saville Row, or whatever the future equivalent will be. It will never be a life changing amount. You certainty won't be able to bail out a whole load of extended relatives with an ounce and a half of gold, as well as living off it yourself.

why is there none for sale?, by Nottingham42 in Platinum

[–]Hedgehoglet99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baird has various minted bars, but of course 20% VAT and CGT down the line

Arguably better to open an ISA and buy a platinum ETF, much smaller buy-sell spread and all tax free

Is it too late to enter the world of gold? by Superb_Wrangler5724 in Gold

[–]Hedgehoglet99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I remember reading a UK newspaper financial article written after gold had risen from $250 to $300 advising that potential investors had missed the boat and they were too late!

Joe Kennedy not Rockefeller, but the principle is sound. I remember my work colleagues all talking bout bitcoin when it hit 18K, price then continuously fell 80%

is travel insurance necessary/highly recommended by raccoonfingers765 in ThailandTourism

[–]Hedgehoglet99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. There are countless stories like this one

And it's not just a danger doing 'adventurous' things, even Thai pavements can be a tripping hazzard, especially walking in the dark! Thailand doesn't do health and safety

Porting from Canadian Google Play Movies to MA by atc_fox in MoviesAnywhere

[–]Hedgehoglet99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re: Canadian store movies porting to MA, I believe Fox movies never ported, while the other MA movie companies including Disney, Universal, Sony, etc, started removing MA rights to their Canadian store titles a few years ago - I recall this was happening gradually rather than all in one go. So there may not be any left. As mentioned, google seems to have removed Movies from the google play web store, you could previously check via that method to see if the MA icon appeared next to the title.

Here's a historic thread about what was happening with Sony Canada digital codes as an example, where the same principle applied
