  1. Twitter will probably be moving soon, to properties that EM already owns....
  2. He will serve some purpose....Putin was pressured by the Russian elites to have him returned..... He evidently has some connections and value.....
  3. Yeah, 5 years seems to be the prevailing recommended time line....In the states for cars & RV tires they're calling for every 5 years (I have to replace 8 next time back - sitting 3 years + 4/5 years old)..... My FIL checks the tread supulty by whether or not it gives under his thumbnail....It it doesn't give/flex he replaces the tires...He used to have his own tire shop.... I'm guessing a 10B piece would also work to prod the tread with.... Bridgestone's are known for tread hardening & rigidity & traction loss with age.... Flex cracking tells a whole another story depending where they are....
  4. Well - now they can go back to their national sport I never gave a thought that the french might even have a soccer team..... Good for them...????
  5. She was earning $1,500,000.00 a year in Russia..... What would you call it ... According to her it wasn't an oversight, she intentionally packed & brought it ...
  6. Very lucky woman.... Anyone else bringing in vials of hashish extract/oil into a foreign country would be languishing in prison there for a very, very, long time.....
  7. Good Speed electronics in Pantip Plaza, 2nd floor ...They have performed well for us for over 10 years.... Tech's on site....If unable to remedy they can send to BKK for you.....
  8. A merchant of death & his network of cash, contacts, & weapons flow is a nice compliment to Putin's needs at this point in time.... Technically not quite aiding and abetting an enemy, but close....
  9. How fortunate for her.... Realistically, the time spent seems more in line with her (perceived) intent....But, she was exactly where she placed herself...... Hopefully, elitist lesson learned....
  10. Note to op.... All Rim Pings are not the same....You might want to invest some time exploring the ones around you.... Some have full butcher & bakery counters with good food assortment & services to match.... Others are like a mini Rim Ping+...... You might have to pick and choose through a few stores given your cooking, transport, and storage limitations.... Check out the CM FB expat groups as there's a few farang specialized food vendors....Almost everything can be delivered.... You might also want to consider a microwave, elec. oven, or other (electric) preparation options....
  11. Here's a man that has everything his fame can bring, with infinite worldwide resources available.... It might be a good time for those of us that are in his age range & older that are fully functional to reflect & count our blessings and thank our lucky stars /creator/ God for our health & well being.... Thoughts, prayers, & best wishes sent to the Willis clan.....
  12. Just a roll of the dice there....About 15 years ago I went with a sports team on a goodwill tour.....We played ball against local teams, meet up functions, school tours, & such....The Mexican sponsors had different venue sports groups come through on different weeks .... La Paz, Baja.... The next week after we left, another group came through & the their bus was raked with gun shots and 2 people died.... It doesn't have the desperation look and feel of the PI, but there is a very real danger there....
  13. Yesterday, the Duke's posted their Christmas info on their FB page ...
  14. Yep - EV's are going to make it easy for acts of terrorism to completely shut down entire countries....
  15. Check the FB page for location... As for the mix of patrons = unsure....Their daily specialty feature is great hamburgers, which isn't "English" to me... However, on Sundays they do serve the traditional English stuff as well as their normal menu items....
  16. Well, with that being the case, it's just a matter of luck circa 1776.....
  17. Just throwing this out there..... I inquired to a vendor about the amount of their shipping fee..... They responded that the shipping fees were set & collected by Lazada..... It's reasonable to assume that this is a very lucrative revenue stream for Lazada, it's entirely possible they are now complying with some newly imposed legal requirements for taxation purposes ..... Given the international scope of their operation.... The buy/sell rate/profit on the shipping must amount to many millions of $$$$ on any given day....
  18. I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts= I don't think I've ever tasted it.... What am I missing?
  19. Reads as an e-receipt acknowledging/verifying payment for items ordered & received....
  20. The Wild Hog is having it's annual Christmas buffet....Gaz is taking reservations as seating is limited .... See their FB page for details....
  21. That being the case... Watch out for Snowballs....
  22. I experienced my first need for this yesterday....I went to my local bakery store to pick up some supplies....About 300B....Gave him a 1000B = no can do....I looked around outside - no place to break the bill....Bangkok bank Visa = no go..... My daughter used her phone bank app to make the purchase....I could've too = didn't think of it.... I've never tried.. Even though I'm not supportive of the cashless concept, it's an option I'll have to get adept at....
