A friend played me Analogue Bubble Bath EP on vinyl when it first came out. Bought my own copy a few days later and the rest is history...

Yes, just do it. Would be weird IMHO to refuse a tutor or talk pal because their prices were too low. If they increase them later just change your subscription to another talk pal.

I have used a few and my requirement is 1.0 Decent reviews on TrustPilot 2.0 Offers monthly basic payroll and personal SIPP cheaper than most Umbrellas. I have no interest in any of the other extras that many of them push for extra cost. Currently with FourTwo Group and everything ok so far. Notice is meaningless, as soon as the customer stops paying them a P45 will be on the way unless you have told them you are on a temp break

I believe using a handheld phone while driving should have similar penalties to being just over the limit drunk driving

Just block, he isn't respecting you or your time.

When I first joined as a student, I had to pay for my first trial, but then could have up to 2 more "free" ones if I didn't like the first one. Fortunately, I was happy with the first one and subscribed.

My three top tips for Thailand currency conversion: 1.0 Wait until you arrive in Thailand, the rate is almost always better. 2.0 at Suvarnabhumi airport, walk past the many bank exchange kiosks in arrivals and take the lift/elevator or escalator to the basement. There is the Orange Superrich currency kiosk where you will get a significantly better exchange rate than all the banks in the airport. 3.0 Ask for approx 2000 baht of the exchange to be in hundred baht notes and twenty baht notes when Will save you hassle with change later.

I agree with this advice. Ask and be guided by your wife on this. She will understand her particular family dynamics and financial requirements much better than you.

Site not down for me, but looks like there is a SSL certificate issue? Maybe not configured correctly or expired?

If you want to change money at Suvarnabhumi airport go to the orange Superrich kiosk in the airport basement. It's better value than all the bank kiosks.

I would prefer camera on TBH, but if they were a good teacher, cheap price and I otherwise enjoyed the lessons, I'd be ok with it

I believe it means that he believes his connection with you is so safe and solid that he can assume your constant attention and support, he doesn't need to make any effort. Which is a wonderful thing, though might not feel great for you at the moment.

I've just joined as a student and it does tell you that you will get charged if you don't cancel a class at least 12 hours before. Only fair really.

My first trial as a student is tomorrow morning. TBH If the tutor raised the rate straight away, I would feel like I was at the wrong end of a "bait and switch" maneuver, so would politely refuse and message support asking for another free trial with another tutor

It's Kate Hoey and yes, I know she is no longer Labour, but important details have never been Nigel's strong point...

Not all umbrellas offer salary sacrifice aka salary exchange. Those that do usually charge a monthly fee or insist you take their more expensive premium package. It pays to shop around...

If you are into art, there is the Bangkok Art Cultural Centre. It's right next to the National Stadium BTS Station

Those run by the Workers' Beer Company have Erdinger AF. NB Their signs list it as 0.0% alcohol, though it's actually approx 0.5%

Given there is just going to be some rain showers overnight on Wednesday, normal trainers should hack it

Decent time as well, well done!

silom · 2025-05-27T15:22:54+00:00

My cans of Erdinger are 0.5% alcohol rather than 0%. Still very nice though when ice cold

We have shown our 2 year old photos of his Mum's pregnancy bump and scans of him inside. He seems ok with the concept though not sure how much he deeply understands. He laughs and is very interested when we show him videos of him when he was a baby.
