Meanwhile In other non related news, the Pattaya City Council are unable to confirm or deny that the New Year's Eve pisss-up at a brewery will proceed or not.

Buyers' remorse?

The stupid git was a "Stop Oil" protester.  9/5 on that the muppet used an oil based product to start the fire.

Pity the Plod intervened, maybe he was going to do the right thing and make the ultimate ideological sacrifice.

I agree.  I suspect we've both been in Thailand too long. 

I reckon the student (or teacher) with the cigarette lighter in their pocket is the likely culprit. 

This sums it up really. Parody becomes reality.

I've observed over the years that Thai motorcyclists drive much slower in colder weather at this time of year. The wind-chill factor really screws them up.

Best thing they could do is turn off all the traffic lights and let nature take its course.

While any bloke would appreciate a power tool as a birthday present, women seem to resent a gift of a household appliance.  Strange creatures! 

There are plenty of non mainstream car hire companies in Pattaya. Off hand, there's one at the corner of Thepprasit and Thappraya Roads, and another on the corner of Soi Wat-Boon and 2nd Road.

Here's a couple of tips.  Make sure the car has first class (fully comprehensive) insurance. Take an extremely long video of every aspect of the car, noting every stone chip and interior defect. 

Many a minor dent on a rental car has been paid for many times over. 

Evil-Bay is much more reliable for refunds and returns.  Most of the stuff available on Lazada and Shoppee originates from the Middle Kingdom anyway, so there is a wider choice and often better pricing on Evil-Bay.

Delivery times are back to pre-plandemic timeframes.  Bought a new kitchen tap with an extra outlet for filtered water last month from Chayna - arrived in seven days.

Arr ye nae very big, 'nd affa shy?

Commissar Jacinda Hardon has turned NZ into a modern-day Gulag. Her style of Totalitarianism is not Orwell's jackboot in the face, but a warm motherly cuddle and a soft spoken "I know what is best for you, whether you like it or not, my children.....and you will do what you are told".

Christ on a bike, I'm only thankful she didn't marry Justin Trudeau.

Analog computers don't operate this way, for example.

Making blanket statements is risky business. 

 

Anyway, what is the meaning of ++++-----? 

 

 

I suspect he is referring to Binary, as in 101010 is binary for the answer to the ultimate question of the Universe, and also being a perfect number. I'm out. 

In Danish, Pussi, Dik, and Tits are all direct translations to the same English colloquialisms. 

But Kok translates to Chef in Danish.

There's something very Freudian about this, or maybe I'm having a Sesame Street flashback.

Whether you like it or not, it's called 'progression'.

 

If we were to go back in time several hundred years, we wouldn't be understood using our modern English. And vise versa.

The English language is very much alive and is recognised as THE International business language so I think it's here to stay.

 

To emphasise my point of 'progression', try looking for these now seldom used English words.

For that matter, proceeding with your logic, proper spelling is not important. 

 

Is this also part of your simplistic argument? 

 

Nothing means anything, simply because anything can, potentially, mean everything? 

 

You just described the core of the post-modernist's ideology.

Fast fix.  Get something flat like a thick piece of plastic to cover the drains when not in use.  Can put something heavier, like a bottle of water, on top to help hold it down.

 

Better fix.  Change the floor drains to ones that have a flap on the bottom that close when no water is draining.  Keeps odors and critters out.  There are 2 types.  Those that use a spring to keep it closed and those that have a weight flap.  I like the spring ones better, they seal tighter.  Just saw a third type on Lazada that uses magnets.  No experience with those.

 

Global house sells some or on Lazada.

 

The flap style drains you recommend are a good way of avoiding smells.  The only problem being that you have to ensure it is cleaned regularly.  My wife's hair eventually builds up over time, and stops the flap from closing properly.

I hope it wasn't the pinky finger from his dominant hand - retraining his other hand to relieve nasal congestion may be an issue.

On the other hand, time will be saved at nail cutting time. 

I don't begrudge anybody having a beer at any time of the day or night. 

But what is it with the dudes who buy a beer at 6am from the 7/11 and drink it sitting on the steps, wearing short-shorts with no underwear, and their tackle poking out?

Side Note - who's responsible for the Scandinavians and Russians not getting the memo circa 1985 that short-shorts and budgie smugglers (Speedos) ceased to be de riguer unless you were running a marathon or swimming in the Olympics?
