  1. Your driving licence also may have an old passport number on it. It is not just the PP number that is needed, not all details are there. Sometimes they want to check Permission to Stay......
  2. Having ridden a smaller bike for many many years here I find cars and trucks often pass me too close. Particularly impatient cars, pickups and mini-buses, who expect me to get into the gutter, so they can undertake.
  3. The past is so quickly forgotten......The Holodomor for example.
  4. Could have just been as likely the inclusion of Pringles in your diet!
  5. To be fair, France has a lot of them, 56 reactors and more being built, some central like Belleville.
  6. Well you might be buying several over 10 years and have you seen the price of them lately? UK just slapped more tax on them.
  7. He quickly deteriorated as he was moved from his seat on his private jet.
  8. Not sure the two are similar in the slightest....... Slippery road we are on, difficult corks to put back in the bottle.
  9. Not amongst 'US", simply the local populace. They are so accustomed to being lied to they hardly comment.
  10. Heck, that approach goes all the way up to the top..... hardly come across anything credible around here.
  11. A string of events dotted around as far as Korat, as long as weeks ago, creating a deliberately bad image of mayhem in the region. I had expected some problems with youths during the music festivals but it sounded like it had been quiet..
  12. Well that was my thought too... but the way the article read, it seemed it was those damned foreigners again!
  13. Business smarts not street smarts? I don't know, love bombed and falling for it. I believe I must have the emotional reactions of a cardboard box then.
  14. This board is such an intellectual resource!
  15. Well I might opine he got rather more than he deserved. I was chatting to a pal whose mate is similarly embroiled with a local lady who has constant needs and frequent demands etc etc. He tries to tell him he is being scammed or taken advantage of, but he will not listen nor believe it. I believe the term is love blocked or blinded by love. Beyond a mate's help or a bucket of iced water.
  16. Brexit happened over 4 years ago. Time to wipe off the tears Pre Brexit only 1 in 42 illegals were returned so negligible benefit from EU membership there! It is about time a today solution was found rather than carping on about prior ineptitudes and the persistent ones of the French and the EU.
  17. Yes, agreed, I have had a few incidents with them......
  18. And he didn't even get any of that! I wonder if the police will also pursue the outstanding 1,760,732 cases of foreigners who also got scammed similarly by their Thai girlfriends/ wives/boyfriends etc etc over the last decade or two.
  19. I believe the Chinese are learning English and putting in some effort these days. Came across a few tourists that surprised me with good English. Watched a few YT videos of people in Shanghai (for ex) coming across good English in the young,
  20. Well if he happens to get treated differently, there is sure going to be some commentary on that. He needs to develop some unsubstantiated 'sickly' symptoms though.
