  1. We can only assume the "lifeguards" are suitably qualified. i.e They can swim?
  2. I could never figure out what the 18 items attached to their belt consisted of.
  3. The good professor has a sense of humor. Hope he does the same thing on St. Paddy's day.
  4. "Should there ever be a trough, there will be pigs". Alexander Pushkin
  5. Reading the article, it appears the alleged slur was spoken in Thai language (“I can understand Thai. He scolded me so clearly: “Ni**a! Get up!...). I wonder if the actual N word was spoken in the English vernacular, or if some Thai language equivalent was spoken. It also begs the question if the referee correctly understood the (English language) racial implications of his use of the word. Personally, I've never heard a Thai use the word and I don't think they understand it - they usually revert in reference to a Cadbury or Hershey's product. If a Thai bloke is telling me something in mixed Thai/English language, and I indicate my understanding by uttering "I hear", in which language should the listener interpret the utterance?

  7. Similarly, does my Miss Piggy trump your Daffy Duck?
  8. I think it's a person's singular responsibility to be able to control where one places their feet. I mean after all, we are bipeds.
  9. 20K would cover my bar bin most months.
  10. According to my missus, emptying the dust container and cleaning the filters in the bag-less type is a right royal pain. And whilst the bag-less models with multiple filters claim to suck up dust down to microscopic size, open your balcony door for 3 minutes and all the dust has been replaced.
  11. Everybody is forgetting that this is Thailand. The authorities may decide to make Buakhaow one-way and erect all the appropriate signage. Locals and foreigners would ignore the signs, mayhem would ensue for two days and the signs would be removed. This is exactly what happened in Jomtien about a decade ago. https://www.pattayamail.com/news/jomtien-beach-road-goes-one-way-nov-12-for-a-month-42560 From memory, the "trial" lasted a few days. As to restricting parking - Thais don't park their car, they merely cease driving.
  12. The gogo bar girl saying used to be "three minutes, three inches, three thousand" for the Japanese punters. And then the Koreans started arriving en masse and it became "four minutes, four inches, four thousand".
  13. They be like "Ah frig-it, we'll get a frigate instead".
  14. Probably had a brother named Donald, from the Isle of Skye.
  15. Thank God the Russians don't play golf.
  16. It's obvious, somebody nicked his pushbike.
  17. Shortbackandsides.
  18. But he was wearing appropriate safety equipment, to wit: shoes as opposed to de rigueur flip-flops.
  19. When Jordan B. Peterson enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on, he turns the dark off. Apologies to Chuck.
  20. I once ordered a new refrigerator to be delivered on Shopee, cash on delivery. It never turned up. Now seeking advice as to how I make a warranty claim.
  21. Nope - the idiot car driver changed lanes while his right rear quarter was still beside the bus, with obvious results. Begs the question why the car drove beside the bus for so long before the incident, and what was the reason for the unnecessary lane change. I'll speculate that something happened with the bus earlier and the car driver was trying to pees the bus driver off.
  22. Live like you'll die tomorrow, plan like you'll live forever.
