  1. Made to take a shower I heard!
  2. Too late, they all moved to the UK already!
  3. I was disturbed by what appeared to be rather hairy legs until you distracted me to her toes!
  4. Strong feelings of insecurity and nervousness Covering the groin area can also send a message of submissiveness, shyness, and innocence. Not sure about that!
  5. I had one a few months back when a fast moving motorcycle on the wrong side of the road was real close as I foolishly crossed between stationary vehicles......as one gets older it certainly gets harder. Don't trust crossings.....

    Yes I enjoyed my frothy freshly brewed morning coffee for many years..... even acquired the Saeco machine when I moved out of my rented house, as the landlord could not refund my deposit..... then it broke, and I discovered how much parts and a new one cost...... now a coffee is an enjoyment from one of the multitude of coffee shops when I am out shopping.
  7. So, do they all get this? Can I expect my Mrs to pay this month's electricity bill?
  8. Why all this hubris among the Expat/retiree community would be my question.... acting as if they are doing Thailand a big favour by living here! They do it for their own self interest I assure you...... You added a lot of embellishment that I never actually said.... I too spend approx 100k/month, maybe slightly under, it isn't so cheap to live well here nowadays.... but a tourist will spend more if he stayed 4 weeks.... they buy flights, pay hotels which I do not, eat out more, travel more. And this idea of Expats giving 800k foreign currency to hold is nonsense, it is in Thai baht for most, it is not given, it is banked, and for sure they will want it back! And many even duck that by using agents. I think a refundable single payment of 800kbaht for 20 years is as cheap a chips! A major reason for Expats living here is it is cheaper. to live than home.
  9. Hotels, transportation, entertainment, meals out... I know quite a lot of retirees, they are mostly economical in their habits. Not so many own houses.....
  10. I actually think it is likely the other way around,,, average 2 week millionaires spend a lot, retirees less so. Pre Covid it was being claimed the Chinese independent travelers were the ones who spent the most.
  11. The burning of what exactly... presuming the drought prevented crop growth.
  12. The man chose to come back to this.... I doubt that was without any previous promises.
  13. I don't know, it is all getting confusing..... we have someone who is PM but not even an MP, picking MPs for cabinet positions, and we have previously had MPs who were disqualified for the position of PM.
  14. First a trial and if convicted of that crime.....as far as I know not any such charges have been made.
  15. Now where did we hear all that before? Happy, unified and prosperous......
  16. I always think of 2006, and getting the airport opened. There had been wrangling and delays and BS I could not believe.... I always felt Thaksin at least got that done.
  17. You jogged my memory.. when I was in Venezuela I was told if arrested fake a heart attack.. they would take you to a hospital. Doing it in the cells wouldn't work out. I don't know what to think... if he is unwell, I would have expected him to remain in Singapore.... anyhow, a lot of your points are not valid for what we have here.... I doubt we will get the truth anyhow!
  18. Could anyone be in his position? Not many prisoners would be flown out in a helicopter if they complained of feeling unwell.
  19. If you do not understand, my attempting to explain would be futile.
  20. Well I wouldn't put it in the check-in baggage.
