  1. It's a mix of MDMA, methamphetamine, diazepam, caffeine, tramadol and ketamine. According to the UN, seizures have already taken place in Thailand, some months ago. https://www.unodc.org/LSS/Announcement/Details/0f57ddbe-01dd-481c-af78-0bc494c84a53
  2. If you can make out some of it, it isn't that bad. Signs should be clear, simple and short - like this.
  3. 1. Crate up car 2. Place crate in container 3. Declare contents of container as automotive parts. Customs cannot physically check every container - Felixstowe handles over 11000 a day..
  4. Neither Alonso nor Albon did the Junior class. Kubica, Vettel and Sainz did though and won (as did Leclerc).
  5. Electocution involves death. Where death does not occur, the word is electrify.
  6. Next week's lesson - How to get into a locked car and hot-wiring...
  7. Not just the Germans... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychoactive_drugs_used_by_militaries
  8. And in 3 months time what will happen? Why, an extension to the grace period. It'll be like the state of emergency !
  9. Would you prefer a policeman as described or one with normal length hair who does his job efficiently?
  10. Perhaps he should have some children doing the cleaning around his house, the cooking and maybe a few to dance around some poles to get some practical work experience.
  11. I see they've got the big brains working on this. Next, householder will be advised to point their fans in a northerly direction to blow the rain clouds away...
  12. Gosh, they're really pulling out all the stops to fix the controversial rice pledging scheme which defrauded farmers. After a mere 10 years they must need an extension after such rapid progress and the unpaid farmers must be overjoyed....
  13. 7. Massive gold chains should only be worn during the hours of daylight
  14. I wonder what he expected to happen after he moved his hand rapidly towards the attendant's head. A choir of angels to start singing?
  15. In the words of Mandy Rice-Davis, "He would say that, wouldn't he?"
  16. Father Ted Crilly comes to mind....
  17. 'Donated' rather than being scrapped, because scrapping is so much more expensive.
  18. A similar event happened a couple of years ago at the Jerez MotoE race track. In that case it wasn't any cheapo batteries or chargers but 18 hugely expensive electric racing bikes. Believed to have been caused by a short circuit. https://www.eurosport.co.uk/moto/motoe-reveals-cause-of-fire-that-destroyed-bikes_sto7206120/story.shtml Then a few months later, another bike caught fire after the battery exploded when being charged at the Austrian race and again the following year yet another one caught fire at the Barcelona track while being charged. If it can happen to top quality, well maintained racing motorbikes then it should be no surprise when a few cheap golf carts do the same thing. Fires involving li-ion batteries are really dangerous as they burn so intensely
  19. Including everybody on buses and, presumably no standing passengers. Or do they mean some passengers in some vehicles?
  20. In fact, exactly the same thing happens in his home country. A tiny minority of immigrants behave badly and a whole tranche of people blame all the country's ills on immigrants.
  21. Amsterdam has a modest river running through it - the Amstel - and flooding used to be because of North Sea surges. In the case of Bangkok, there is a huge river and the flooding is usually due to run off from the north and central parts of the country. I can't see how the Amsterdam solution would help. The same problem exists in Vietnam with the Mekong delta and in Bangladesh with the 3 main rivers (the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna).
  22. I take the Oscar Wilde view on fashion "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
