    Anyone have some filelinked codes with some good working ad free streaming apk's ?

    Can't get to Pattaya to update my android box and many of my previous apk's are now obsolete - news, sport, movies, TV shows etc - whatever. Reliable or reasonably so.

    Pretty please 😋

    I bought a new acer a couple of months ago

    I just dumped all the files, screenshot of apps to an external  hard drive, my Chrome passwords and favourites saved to Chrome account and transfered over when logging into Chrome which is my browser of choice.

    Have not got around to resetting my old laptop to Factory yet. Not sure it's worth it as I was suffering from overheating probs and likely the fan needs replacing. 

    I had to reinstall of the apps and programs onto my new PC. 

    Guess I did it the long way round but only took about an hour.

    My new lappy has a non physical hard drive, i7 pentium. 

    Cannot believe how fast it boots up, almost instant. 

    My laptop was suffering from overheating, probably due to the excessive heat and humidity here..

    I bought a CoolerMaster Laptop Stand, it has 3 fans, which keeps the components cool..

    I bought 2 air fryers about 1 month ago ... I was fucking happily surprised ... they cook great pork chops, chicken breasts ( that is all I cooked so far ) ... jeez pork chops 5 minutes on each side .. man - the turned out just great!

    Beach gal refuses to use the one I bought for home down South ...

     

    I got an Airfryer last month, as well.  Burgers, Fries, Ribs, etc are superb . If you want the skin to be more crispy, add a teaspoon of oil.

    these days, I usually watch English TV through my smart tv Internet browser.

    This can be viewed also on a PC using any browser, such as Chrome ,Firefox etc etc..

    This website is in Thailand, my interest in this site is the 'Live TV' it also has Movies and Netflix as an added bonus..

    Pic quality is very good, as for reliability about 70%....

    In the Live TV, section, there are Sports from True, Sky Sports and BT.

    Also, there are Docs,News as well ,see attached photos

    I  stream and watch TV on my 55 in TV  connected to 1 PC while browsing on my second Pc and a 32 in monitor

    @Yesitisdakid

    Hi Larry, If you had Windows 10, you could simply 'Cast' your PC screen display to the TV, without the need for a HDMI lead. 

    Cheers

    I can get all the BBC channels on HDPrime except BBC Scotland. It shows the logo but does not open the channel which is annoying because that shows many of the Hearts fc games live. I have had to subscribe (maybe just one month) to Hearts FC own TV so I can watch the Hearts/Hibs cup semi final live tonight. 😀

    The BBC I Player even recognises when one is using a VPN from outside the UK and blocks access after you have logged in once using the VPN.

    In your VPN, Is there another UK Server,you could change to?, some VPN's have multiple cities in the UK, you can switch to..

    However, some VPN's are blocked by BBC Iplayer, maybe find a VPN which is not on the BBC's hitlist..

    Have a look here mate..

    The joys of living "Up Country"

    My wife has constantly asked or reminded her Mother to do various things of which closing the gate is just one of them.

    It is as frustrating for Sai as it is to me but as Sai explains it to me in Thai culture the "Mother" is the matriarch figure to whom the daughters ( four in this case) are expected/required to not only respect but be almost subservient. That does not stop Sai arguing with her Mother but Sai knows deep down that her Mother is never going to change.

    Very frustrating for both Sai and I particularly as I know I must never place Sai in a position where she has to chose between her Mother and I.

    It has driven me round the bend fella as well.. The mosquitoes love me, and I'm hyper sensitive to their 'kisses', and my stepsons are prone to leaving doors open constantly,so I have to remind them ..

    As for her choosing between family and her husband, we all know, there is always will be ..a no contest

    I feel for you mate...

    I live in a Village community but less than 5 minutes from a very large provincial town center with lots of (Thai) bars, restaurants and shopping centers.  It has its own Airport but Nok Air flights are to Don Mueang.

    I used to see quite a few non-Thai's but they have all disppeared since Covid19 so I stick out as the token farlang and all the bars are closed anyway.

    The countryside is excellent with quite a few National Parks but there is a limit to how often one wishes to visit the waterfalls or hot springs which, incidently, are all still closed to visitors currently.

    For the previous two years Sai had been based in Mae Sot then would commute to Bangsaray each month overnight, stay for 5 days then I would drive us both back to Mae Sot where I would stay for a long weekend then drive back to Bangsaray. Sounds complicated but that worked ( for us) okay but was a bit unfair on Sai and I found myself increasingly missing her in between. So I moved me and the dogs to Mae Sot and then the plan was for Sai and I go back for 5 days each month to our house in Bangsaray. Well, Covid19 scuppered that plan and we did not get back for over two months.

    Apart from my list of items I am missing ( and I AM)  the continuous proximity to Sai's family is a major problem. We all know how Thai culture makes family so important. Twice yesterday her Mother left the driveway gate open and let the dogs out because basically the Mother expects others (and Sai in particxular) to do everything for her. Sai recognises the problem but........it is her Mother............and her Mother is not going to change now and I cannot place Sai in a position where she has to chose between her Mother or I as there is only going to be one result!

    I cannot see any solution other than to revert to our previous arrangement but I will wait until things get more back to some kind of normality back in Pattaya/Bangsaray.

    Basically, I am (still) a City guy who always enjoyed visiting the countryside but happy to get back to the smoke. Definitely, not the other way round.

     

    I know exactly where you're coming from @Jambo

    The closeness of your wife's immediate family, is somewhat alien to us in the West, I am similar to @Pumpuynarak, in that my wife and I agreed , that we would live at least an hour from her immediate family..

    I have a dog as well, and.. Initially I was continually instructing my stepson's to close the gate, as if it's left open, the dog could escape, if there was a motorcycle or truck passing by at high speed, then there could be a terrible accident or..soi dogs could walk in.. now.. they do close it, but i still make sure they do..

    Maybe.... you or your wife could ask her mother to close the gate, it might work.. after a couple of time, she 'might' start closing it automatically..

    Good luck...
