This is how Columbus thought the world looked before he set sail.

At least it's easier than getting a Thai Non-Imm OA visa, there's no need for a criminal records check! lol

Nothing app-related, but I forgot my wallet a few days ago when I went shopping up on Soi Khao Talo. I went to the nearest Lotus Express and used my SCB card in a K-bank ATM there to withdraw 20K Baht. No problem, and it was a free service. When did that change? In the past I was always charged 20 Baht for using my SCB card in another bank's ATM, so I've studiously avoided doing so for many years.

This one is good - last week's total solar eclipse as seen from the ISS.

Just a picture of two circles....

I was surprised by how accurate this one is, it probably covers about 90% of the posts made on my home-town FB groups. Including the 'Delete if not aloud' one, lol.

One for the artists, lol.

Each to his own, but I've never seen the attraction, especially for Thai women. Most of the younger lasses have really great skin quality, I'm quite happy with it au naturel, as it were, there's no need to cover it in ink to appreciate it. I could have a long rant about the GF's daft, but I won't bore you and will leave it there...

Let's see you build one for your kids, lol

Don't ask me why it's in USD and not GBP, but I suspect it might well be the truth.

Do you remember your first visit to a McDonald's? For me it was when I was in university in London, probably 1976 or 77. I'd been somewhere with a Welsh-Polish mate for the afternoon and we were starving, somewhere near St. James's Park, and he took me to the nearby McDonald's which must have been one of the first to open in London. I was impressed with the quick, cheap and tasty meal, even as a regular at the take-away KFC by Gloucester Road tube station and the Turkish kebab shop 'The Bosphorous' near South Ken tube station.

I don't know what Wise did to their website yesterday, but having used it a hundred times before it had a different appearance. The 'Send Money' button didn't work, so I messed about with the 'Add Money' button and that worked, but it just took my £1,000 and added it to my account on Wise instead of converting it into THB and sending it here as I thought I'd asked. Eventually, I managed to send the balance of £1,000 in my Wise account (which I've never used before) to my SCB account, but then it was asking me when I was going to send it the £1,000 I'd wanted transferred into THB? So I cancelled that transfer but this morning they've sent me an e-mail congratulating me on having a balance of £1,000 in my Wise account, even though I transferred it to THB yesterday. Talk about disconnected idiots, why did they do this? It made me think of this short but amusing article by Martin Samuel in this morning's Times about his Mercedes EV.
