  1. The challenge will probably be rebutted on the basis that the extended hours will be great for the economy. The bars sell more drink, the hospitals get more customers and the repair shops are kept busy. It can also generate money for the police in fines/non-fines. Case dismissed....
  2. And even if you can get over all that, it may not thrill owners to find that it takes something like 27 hours to fully charge from a 7.3kWh home charger (unless you just happen to have a 3 phase connector when it can be reduced to a mere 19 hours). Those using a normal mains socket can expect to wait over 3 days.... Hilarious.
  3. Charabanc au flambé for lunch
  4. and one that you can nearly get a bike in the back of.... form over function
  5. That intravenous champagne drip doesn't come cheap.......
  6. They have to steal the fuel so they can get to the temple and make merit to absolve all the crimes they've committed...
  7. Bearing in mind the odds, anyone paying 80baht is totally stupid too.
  8. Decriminialise fraud. What could possibly go wrong???
  9. Well, here's a conundrum...... how does it realise you have said "Alexa" if it isn't active?
  10. Pelican and Puffin crossings are British ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_crossing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican_crossing There is also Toucan crossings (where bicycles and pedestrians can use - Two-can use) and Pegasus crossings (shared between pedestrians and horses) where there is a button 2m high for mounted riders. A veritable menagerie of crossings....
  11. It started many years before Photoshop. Pictures of the Loch Ness monster from the 1920s and way back to the Cottingly fairies of 1917. While Photoshop may have made it easier, it only refined what had been going on for many many decades.
  12. Yes - they're demanding that too....
  13. From the Daily Mail..... the paper that even Wikipedia describes as 'unreliable'. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/08/wikipedia-bans-daily-mail-as-unreliable-source-for-website
  14. Indeed. And the ruling party can now try to get the MF party banned, thus eliminating the main opposition. Its worked in many other countries...
  15. If you were going to start a gang dedicated to crime it does seem a bit silly to call it the Outlaws. They should really consider something a bit less obvious like The Taxi Drivers or The Police.
  16. This sounds very ambitious. Perhaps they should start with some vigorous shuffling first.
  17. According to the 2021 census, the UK has 18.6% of its population over 65, so the problem is not exactly unique to Thailand.
  18. A massive proven liar says its fine.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12203407/BORIS-JOHNSON-Wonder-drug-hoped-stop-raids-cheddar-chorizo-didnt-work-me.html
  19. That'll be the sea then. Break out the long tail boats and the bulldozers!!!
  20. That's generally known as 'cooking the books'. A similar action took place in 2014 when HMG were spouting that the UK economy was now the fifth largest in the world. The reason (which they never bothered to mention) was that the method of calculating GDP was revised to include a notional figure for prostitution and drugs. Hey presto! The GDP suddenly takes an upward burst and its drinks all round at such a great success.....
  21. Oooh... Are they going to announced something named Big ???
  22. Ah yes... issuing a directive - surely the finest way to stop all corruption.
