I used to ride my bike "sensibly", as I would back home. That lasted about a week and I was having 30 near death experiences per kilometre. I converted to riding Thai style, felt much more comfortable, and reduced the near death experiences to a more manageable 5 per kilometre, on a good day. If everybody on the dancefloor is doing a tango and you only know how to waltz, you've got a problem.

There's a world-wide debt crisis and the proverbial will be hitting the fan Q1 2024. The only remaining question is whether the Kabal decide to get us out of it with an inflationary, or deflationary recession. Either way, it won't be pretty. If they go inflationary by printing money to replace the written-off debt (essentially an international bank bail-out), expect 1980's level inflation. If they go deflationary by allowing the debt (cash) to be removed from the M2, you might be able to pick up a Lambo for the previous price of a small Singha.

Will they provide seating and popcorn for this debacle event, and where does one purchase tickets?

We can only assume the "lifeguards" are suitably qualified. i.e They can swim?

I could never figure out what the 18 items attached to their belt consisted of.

Fortnight is a handy word.

The good professor has a sense of humor. Hope he does the same thing on St. Paddy's day.

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?

Similarly, does my Miss Piggy trump your Daffy Duck?

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.

20K would cover my bar bin most months.

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.

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.

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".

They be like "Ah frig-it, we'll get a frigate instead".

Probably had a brother named Donald, from the Isle of Skye.

Um.......

Tarnished? No problem.

Thank God the Russians don't play golf.

It's obvious, somebody nicked his pushbike.

But he was wearing appropriate safety equipment, to wit: shoes as opposed to de rigueur flip-flops.

When Jordan B. Peterson enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on, he turns the dark off. Apologies to Chuck.
