and the police closed absolutely everything at 12, not even the selected few few that have remained open after 12 were open, everything was completely shut down, really good idea when all these places are struggling for what few customers are left

I know one of bar-keeps on LK & he said that the cops didn't actually close the bars at 12, they went around on a bike afterwards with a camera & filmed the bars that were still open for a few nights in a row then fined them for each night.

Bookies have stopped taking bets on the outcome of the election as of today

Is there a reason why you can not get it delivered to your address?  

Brand new address & having trouble getting in the system, "computer say no".

I'll get there but in the meantime just asking.

I will pop down in person & ask but hoping someone off here might know.

There's no covid in this country outside of incoming flights who are in quarantine.

Safest country in the whole world apparently.

Surely they will do Post Restante if you request it.  

Strange times though Leaver.

A lot of organisations or their staff now doing as they please & blaming cv19

Look at the state of his facial expressions.

Gurning away like a good'un, he must have had too much coffee that morning

Does anyone know if I can get a parcel delivered to the DHL office on 2nd rd so I can collect it?

Their website just has a drop down menu with answers to preordained questions none of which cover my needs.

They used to 15 years ago which was the last time that I used them over here but times change

2400 by 1200 by 20 sheet is worth about Bt.3200 in scrap value.

Might have a dip myself ????

Steptoe & Son Ltd

Wait until the local 'entrepreneurs' realise how much those plates will get them in scrap.

Where can I buy shea butter & also almond oil locally?

I've run out of shaving cream & most brands bring me out in a terrible shaving rash as I'm such a sensitive soul.

Belgium, now 1 week, was  2 weeks.

France.

Thats's 2.

 

There are loads but they call it self quarantine.

You are asked to go home & stay there for 2 weeks not collected under armed guard then driven to a residence & kept there for 2 weeks under guard like here

Sounds delicious; as rich as a Thai cabinet minister. I'm off to look up the recipe. Bon appetit.

Look up Heston's receipe for oxtail & kidney pudding, mine's a twist on that.

I wanted to eat the TV screen when I saw his way of doing it.

Defo need more ads as there aren't enough.

Got pals back in the UK who have given up on it as there aren't enough ads.

About bloodly time we had a new lung because I can't breathe

So, what are you making with suet, Sid? Beef stew and dumplings? Steak and kidney pudding? Or something sweet?

I'm want to try an oxtail & bone marrow steamed pudding so I want real suet rather than a veggie or butter as a shortening.

There's a lot of prep so I want to hopefully get it right first time & not be blaming the shortening.

Siamsbury is the only stockists locally I would just go to the shop and check yourself 

I did, they don't.

Does anyone know where I can get suet from locally?

Siamburys has some on their FB but none in stock, the best brand is Atora.

Head up to the Tiger prison Park & try to get hold of some tiger poo & leave it about the area that you what the cats to stay away from.

Tiger urine also works but it must be difficult to get a sample unless you get a few beers down them first to break the seal

Yes I quite like Numchai myself. Easy to get to up the Railway line Bypass rd.

I thought paying for items (usually use a Thai CC), was a bit laborious with a lot of paper and people involved, but they have a little coffee area while you wait.

Paying with cash is no quicker especially if there's a quick sale on & they need to re-work the price & call Bangkok a number of times to confirm that "it ok to give farang discount"

Mrs James told me that the local news is reporting an armed robbery at a "luxury village" up near Tara Pattana last night.

She says 5 armed men hit just one house taking cash & jewellery from a Chinese family living there.

Upstairs at Royal Garden is a tampoline experience with a nice zip & big slides.

It's by the now closed food court.

150THB for an hr or 300 for the whole day where he can come out & back in as often as he likes.

Can anyone tell me where to get star anise locally?

I would not work with Siam Legal at all, they once tried to scam me with a legalization of my daughters birth certificate. I ended up paying more than 10 times less dealing with a nurse who was dealing with that stuff.

They did actually scam me when I tried using them to get a US visitors visa for the gf.
