On the first day of Songkran we were hauling a seriously injured guy (motorcycle accident) to the hospital. He was in the back of the truck and though we tried to wave people off, but we still got doused while making our way through town.

It seems like the only quake that USGS has for the area is a 3.9 in Ko Yao.

I wonder why such a difference in witness reports and also by official Thai reporting.

I guess the science is prone to error.

Don't really matter what I think, or what you think for that matter. What matters is a Democracy having the right to govern and enact laws as they see fit. With our without faith centric legislation

Being forced to uphold the tenants of a worldview which may be different from your own is not a sign of a free society. Neither is the inability to allow criticism. Democracy does not function without freedom of speech. What you get is an alteration on fascism.

I just think it's nice to have topics like this so you can see who all the hateful bigots are. I told everyone form the beginning that this law is not about cracking down on the non Muslim residents it's a political tool for Sunnis to fight against the Iranian back Shiites vying for control over their govt.

Do you think that enacting laws to curb the speech of the minority is a proper course of action for a government? It seems rather underhanded to me.

But no one comments on that. It's all about how bad Arabs are and how cruel and oppressive Islam is, and about how F'ed up Kuwait is. Wow you guys really need a Boogie Man don't ya. At least they arn't blowing each other up in Kuwait like the Christian fundamentalists did in Ireland for decades.

Or like Muslims are doing indiscriminately in many parts of the world, currently.

I recall a video from last year, where a girl complaining about getting her boobs powdered to the police.

The police asked: "do you have proof"

the girl then pulled up her T-shirt so the police could inspect how they'd been powdered

T.I.T.

Its like clicking on a light and seeing cockroaches scurrying about.

We should have a thread like this once in a while. It helps separate the riffraff from the even more creepy.

Sorry we are trying to get these guys to stop all that burning.

Just to report back on the Wellington windows. I bought the single glaze PVC windows in both the 1.5 meter and the 2 meter widths ( I think that's right). They worked out really well and I am quite happy with them. I think they were a really good deal. About half the price of some of the others up for offer. The 1.5 meter is just 1900 if I remember correctly.

When squatting is more comfortable than standing

Wearing an amulet, not because you are trying to fit in, but because you think it's lucky, and or looks good.

Those are pretty cool, I would love to try one out on the back trails. Ditch the panniers though.

I should have my nova back this week, should be interesting. I would like to get the forks from that TTX

The reason my wife hates Songkran is because of the grabbers. I think she had some scary experiences.

Anyhow, she refuses to participate in Songkran even though she is Thai

Sometimes the troll topics are the most fun. I don't know why people are so indignant about it. This forum is full of characters that love to paint embellished portraits of their lives. So be it, If you have half a brain (which I do) then you can spot 90% of the BS right away, and there are certain posters here that I am sure have never posted a true statement. It doesn't bother me. If you are looking for counseling please don't come here, but if you are entertained by humanity we have a real collection of oddities here.

The specialty forums are also full of great and helpful information and are mostly troll free.

These people are civilized??

Still about 500 years behind I'm afraid

Here is the bike I got for free.

I think when they said it runs, they meant it still rolls if you push it. Motor needs seals, new piston, and a new head.

But I am still gonna do it.

By the way it is a Nova Super Sport, not a dash, But I think they are the same thing right?

I'm not sure about the colour.

Well I think getting it rolling under it's own power is the first priority, but I agree, I hate middle red.

I promise I will get some funky paint on it eventually.

Truly sorry to hear this, I hope you have a bit of a safety net here.

We have a married couple that live with us 24/7, they get 11k, but we are up in the sticks. English is getting better, but my wife can talk to them in three languages other than English. and I can talk to them in Thai.

Well I hauled a young lad with a smashed in head to the emergency ward today. A sure sign the holidays are in full swing.

motorbike accident?

Yes drunk and no helmet, His friends said he was dying, so I guess that's why they didn't want to take him, only one of the 20 teens there had the courage to ride along and keep his head from rolling around too much.

You pause before entering a roundabout and brake for even the slightest curve on the highway.

You drive by continually pressing the accelerator and then releasing it fully; as if the accelerator was simply an off/on switch.

You automatically give right of way to cars more expensive than your own.

You don't know how to do something, but you refuse to ask someone who knows.

When you offer to translate for someone and then have a half hour conversation with the other person but forget what you where supposed to ask.

When your favorite place for a conversation is at the base of an escalator.
