Re: HH Immigration, could be a very long wait?

The bottom section of the completed TM47 is used by the immigration officer who puts your next reporting date in the form and clips that to your passport... that,s how I did it but no passport copies were required. Totally agree about the poor organisation and queuing discipline of some at the office.

Re: PROXY SERVERS

I have installed strongvpn which is working wonderfully well for me and which has excellent remote technical backup available however... I want to subscribe to Netflix and/or Hulu but cannot because both sites are US and will not accept my UK address/postcode for credit card purposes. Any suggestions?

Re: Passenger van crashes, 5 dead, 8 hurt

Apparently employers pay the mini-van drivers per journey hence their need for speed so they can complete as many journeys as possible and earn maximum daily pay.

Re: Express train hit a pickup truck in Pranburi 120 injure

This incident occurred on a full-road rail crossing in Pranburi approximately 1 kilometre east of Tesco. Do not know what happened but I guess it might have been that the pick-up tried to negotiate the barriers whilst they were down... have seen this happen many times.
