  1. Past hour
  2. IMDB gives a score of 5.6 which I think is overly generous. I couldn't suffer more than 10 minutes.
  3. ive worked retail and recently....its soul crushing..7-11 emp do everything..cook your food,,pay bills..fix your sim..stock,,clean,,inventory etc,,,,now mix in ppl from all over coming in there..demanding a beer at 2pm etc i gotta give a hats off to those folks at 7-11 and i know they get paid sh*t to put up with all the drama...long hrs on feet
  4. A line in a post calling another member a troll has been edited out. Please stop the personal attacks, they could lead to suspensions if I there is a next time and I get called into this topic again!
  5. FIrst car I bought was a 68 mustang loved the sound, drove it 156K miles only replace the pressure plate in the xmission - had to sell the car, family and I moving to BKK and no a/c straight shift so bought an automatic with a/c. Then on a trip back to USA later, bought a 67 mustang - since it was used, I fixed it up and when it was time to paint it, my younger daughter was just graduating from HS and I offered her a new mustang but she asked for the '67 and since I was going back overseas I gave it to her (circa 1988) and she still has it and refuses to give it back. I think that the biggest problem for the EV's - they just can put in the sounds of those old muscle cars when stomping on that gas pedal! Daughter said sometimes there were problems but easily fixed (she could do it too) and her friends in college would ask her why she chose that old car over new mustang? She said she would take them out on the highway and goose that 'tang! then they would all say "ahhh now we understand"!
  6. Aussies run V8s and eat meat? Must be decent folk.
  7. This version is sadly different,https://thethaiger.com/news/south/tourist-boat-capsizes-in-trang-sea-one-dead-and-several-injured
  8. Incorrect. In fact more nonsense! The wrapper is called a non qualifying investment bond. We use onshore and offshore versions. Typically there is no initial charge but a sliding scale 6 year penalty that reduces by 1% pa. You are not locked into them at all. Some have enhanced allocation. These plans are 99% used for IHT planning. But you won't know why. Its because they are not income producing and when created within a trust, which avoids trust taxation. So many amateurs here. Why the guesswork guys??
  9. Always loved the V8…. I was born too late for the Muscle car era, but always fancied a Cobra… The only V8 I did get was in Range Rover, it’s still has that V8 rumble when gunning it… & of course the I’d see the fuel gauge dropping…
  10. i just copy thais...they like to joke and watch slapstick shows etc...so i just act like a clown with them and they seem amused things are tough here for some locals and maybe why community is key....worry less...smile and try and enjoy the ride..sanuk
  11. You seem utterly resistant to recognizing the the role that interconnectivity has to play in all this
  12. Whoosh straight over yours though. I know humor is not your your thing.
  13. It is even more rare in SE Asia. Not many Thais with O-
  14. Yes, clearly undertake on the left on a strip that is not meant for regular use. You can bet he quickly swerved lanes without checking this lane is empty. A popular hobby also on European motorways. 80, 90 (allowed max), 160... who cares. All these speeds onto a stationary vehicle with a two wheeler will kill. Darwin Award winner, condolences to the ones he left behind.
  15. Spider fangs 3-4mm apart seems unlikely. Myth: You can always tell a spider bite because a spider leaves two punctures. Fact: There is a germ of truth in this idea, but only a very tiny germ. Spiders do have two venom-injecting fangs and typically bite with both at the same time. However, in any spider smaller than a tarantula, the entry points of the two fangs will be so close together that there is little if any visible separation. Also, the fangs are so slender and sharp that the actual entry points are all but invisible. When you have a "bite" with two separated marks, it is either caused by a bloodsucking insect that has bitten twice (a common occurrence), or is a double skin eruption arising from one disease condition or arthropod bite, also a common occurrence. https://www.burkemuseum.org/collections-and-research/biology/arachnology-and-entomology/spider-myths/myth-spider-bites-leave
  16. Is everyone walking back their stories now? good to see. This was never the nice story everyone thought
  17. A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-mart. The husband picks up a case of beer and puts it in their cart. ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks the wife. ‘They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,’ he replies. ‘Put them back, we can’t afford them,’ demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks the husband. ‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look sexy and beautiful for you when we’re making love,’ replies the wife. Her husband retorts: ‘So does 24 cans of beer… at half the price.’
  18. A centipede bite looks exactly like that.
  19. And how about people who spend hours every day in cars and busses and trains instead to maybe 20% of that time on bikes? How do you call those people who waste 10% of their life waiting in traffic?
  20. So you have to have five times the capacity. Twice the capacity of each wind and solar, and once capacity of fossil fuel or nuclear, correct? And how many weeks of battery capacity?
  21. Some background on my situation: doctor diagnosed I had cataract in my right eye, recommended surgery. Did some research afterwards. I am considering both monofocal and multifocal options. I have sent for price inquiry to a few hospitals and here are the replies: St Louis (start from 70,000THB, not including surgeon's fee, recommended Dr. Adisai); Bangkok Hospital (84,000 to 183,000THB); Samitivej Sriracha (no quote provided, just told us to make an appointment with a doctor); MedPark has a cataract surgery package with detailed pricing on each len option posted on their website (https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/packages/cataract-surgery-package). Here are my questions related to hospitals and doctors I would love to get your input: 1. Just based on the clarity on the pricing, MedPark seems to be my first choice at this point. Has anyone had their cataract surgery performed at this hospital? Who was your doctor? What was your experience? Was the final bill as expected, or was there any surprise? 2. Has anyone had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Adisai? Was it a monofocal or multifocal len(s) replacement? Was it at St. Louis or some other hospital? What was your experience was Dr. Adisai? Would you recommend him? 3. Any other recommended doctors and hospitals that are in the Bangkok and nearby area? Any pricing info will be appreciated as well. 4. Lastly, I had PRK about 20 years ago. Recommendation for a doctor who is experienced with patients with previous PRK will be helpful too. Thanks for your time in advance.
