  1. Wasn't that long ago you weren't allowed to have a CD player going as it "might upset the navigation instruments". Utter tosh. Now, it seems that while you can have a mobile phone happily working in flight, a wee bluetooth tag will send you plummeting into a mountain. Or not.
  2. Thomas Edison demonstrated how to electrocute an elephant. Took 6600volts... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_(elephant)
  3. Just had a strange bout of deja vu. I visited Ayutthaya in 2012 shortly after the last big flood. You could see by the water marks on walls (above head level) that it had been serious and the papers were saying how 70 temples and sites were in danger of collapse. Lots of money was promised for flood prevention and suitable barricades to protect the monuments so that it would never happen again. Blah blah blah........
  4. The Museum of Ugly Junk? I'd go for the wise Japanese reckoning it being cheaper to find some mug to take (and pay for removal) of old trains rather than pay a scrapper big Yen to remove and dismantle.
  5. Yes - its the new sensation game - "Thaksin Says". A bit like Simon Says but with guns and backhanders.
  6. Answer: Because it is not unusual for 18/19 year olds to smoke weed. In fact I'm astonished that out of 10000 they only found 90.
  7. But those makers I mention do produce heroin. They may call it diamorphine and put it in a smart bottle but it is pure heroin - used extensively in palliative nursing and extreme pain. Now you want to kill them and prevent suffering people from getting relief. What kind of monster are you? Will you also include the alcohol makers in your My Favourite Death List'? or have you never seen the havoc that drug has created?

  11. I hope the 84000Bt bet was that she wouldn't get arrested this year...
  12. The ready made Colmans is nothing special but their powder is as hot as you care to make it.
  13. Well, that doesn't look like a good place to live/work to me.
  14. Having confirmed there will be no coup, the main question is on what date will it happen....
  15. I suppose that getting a few percent more on the annuity will help stave off the 15%+ inflation a bit.
  16. I suspect the preparations involved ordering a very large vinyl board for the PR guff...
  17. 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
  18. If you can make out some of it, it isn't that bad. Signs should be clear, simple and short - like this.
  19. 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..
  20. Neither Alonso nor Albon did the Junior class. Kubica, Vettel and Sainz did though and won (as did Leclerc).
  21. Electocution involves death. Where death does not occur, the word is electrify.
