  1. I only do the eating, Some other cruel son of a b**** kills them for me.
  2. Fresh obviously, from a tin.
  3. Not the same - here's Toni's facebook page for directions etc. to Watboon, Soi Watboon, Soi Watboonkanchana, Soi Boonkanchana, Watboon Alley etc. Soi actually means "alley". "SaaiR" is the classifier for "road", so Saai Saawng is what we would call Second Road - not to be confused with "Thanohn" which actually means road, as in Beach Road (Thanohn Talay, or Thanohn Chihaad". All very confusing. https://business.facebook.com/Toni.Barbershop.And.Shave/ Side note - I love it when we haggle over the names of locations (and directions) transliterated from Thai. This Soi is known by many Thai locals as Soi Grand Hotel as well as the multitude of other usual names. The intersection is also known locally as NongPong. I once heard an Italian and a Frenchman arguing over the location of a particular hotel - one swore it was on Pattaya South Road, the other swore it was on Pattaya Tai. They were talking about the same hotel.
  4. Is he the guy with the Kiwi mate that eats, roots, shoots, and leaves?
  5. Ostrich make a nice meal. Tastes like beef and as such is better when aged. Biggest problem you'll have is pulling the wishbone.
  6. Toni - corner of Soi Watboon and Jomtien 2nd Road. Third shop from the corner (about 20 metres) as you go from 2nd Road towards Suk. 300 Baht.
  7. Here's a coupla recipes once you've pickled your own or purchased your beetroot. Aussie Burger: Make a hamburger, add a slice of beetroot. Kiwi Burger: Make a hamburger, add a slice of beetroot and a fried egg. Soggy coleslaw is optional.
  8. That's considered a heretical thought and doesn't conform to the orthodox hysteria you are required to display. National Office of Statistics median age of death from/with covid in the UK is 82. But sshhhh - don't tell anybody. For the doubters, here is the data link. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/adhocs/13165averageageofdeathmedianandmeanofpersonswhosedeathwasduetocovid19orinvolvedcovid19bysexdeathsregisteredinmarch2020tomarch2021englandandwales
  9. "Thai PM accused of being biggest borrower and spender, but with few achievements" The Journalist obviously hasn't met my ex-wife.
  10. I agree - but you have to admit that as most Thais have inherited the ability to get their finger a fair distance up their nose anyway, surely shoving a cotton bud up their hooter should present very few additional difficulties.
  11. My wife tells me that domestic violence has increased dramatically but is rarely officially reported. She also says that female on male violence is much more prevalent.
  12. It depends - as long as the left hand knows what the right hand is doing, is it really a crime?
  13. What happened to the Greek alphabet designations? I thought Delta was the boogeyman, and have been awaiting Epsilon and Zeta with bated breath. I don't comprehend this non compliant C.1.2 classification. I suppose they'll go the intersectional pathway of definition to confuse and divide us in much the way as the gender intersectionalists are. First it was Gay and Lesbian, then it was LGB, then LGBT, then LGBT+, then LGBTQ+, and then I lost track but there are many more alphabet soup variations - and now the LGBTQ+ are excluding the LGB's claiming they are transphobic, which is not very inclusive of them. So back to my point - expect that by 2023 we will have an alleged variant of Cars-cov-2 that looks something like CoV3I4D/2Ψ-9Foxtrot Ω and will be pronounced "Idiocracy".
  14. My original post stating official UK government data showing average age of covid deaths in the UK was removed for lacking a link. For those interested I attach a screenshot of the first page of the spreadsheet. For the moderators here is the link to the full spreadsheet data provided by UK Office of National Statistics. I defy anybody to refute the validity of the data source as not being an official UK government department. For clarity - the black scribble on the header bar of the image is me removing my name from the ecxel file. https://www.ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/adhocs/12773averageageofdeathmedianandmeanofpersonswhosedeathwasduetocovid19orinvolvedcovid19bysexdeathsregisteredinweekending9october2020toweekending1january2021englandandwales/finaltable.xlsx
  15. I pity the poor sod who is the first to be arrested for being flagrantly in possession of illegal sunscreen.
  16. That is correct. And yes it is pointless, but get used to it. If you question every pointless bureaucratic requirement in LOS you will go nuts - there is plenty of observable evidence of this in many TV posts.
  17. Funniest thing I saw was a bunch of security guards refusing an Indian entry to a drinking and dancing establishment in Walking Street - someone told me they were called gogo bars, but I wouldn't know When the guy finally convinced them he was actually Canadian, the guards fell over themselves with apologies and took him inside for a drink on the house.
  18. Excellent thesis my Man! I got almost identical results doing the calculations on the back of my cigarette packet. I'd add just one thing - hyper inflation.
  19. Pavlov would probably surmise that the social experiment of conditioned reflex (that we refer to incorrectly as a pandemic, when in fact is an epidemic) has played out just as expected so now it can be gradually wound down and put away till it is needed again. Our behavioral response was noted by our puppet masters - the human race have become extremely compliant and are surprisingly highly tolerant of tyranny. Social conditioning is the prime weapon in the armory of every prospective potentate. We salivated initially at the possibility of one day being given our freedom. We salivated even more when we were told we'd be sort of free, but freedom would not be as before. Now the red light is on and we are copiously salivating because our "freedom" consists of eating in a restaurant, getting a haircut, or playing golf - all while following strict government edicts that are antisocial and anti-human. I lost three uncles in WWII for this.
  20. The boat trips to Koh Larn occasionally don't make it all the way there (or back). The unclean unvaccinated might be the least of the worries of any one-way daytripper.
  21. On a retirement O/A. Extensions done at Chonburi. For clarity, I am talking about the reverse side of the TM6, not the front. It's necessary to provide a copy of the front of the TM6 but never been asked for a copy of the reverse which bares the date stamp from the airport immigration officer upon your arrival. In fact my TM6 is now not even in my passport when I go for extensions because the two times I lost them was while my passport was in the hands of the IO overnight. Probably a Chinese staple or more likely a dog-eared passport page from a thousand stapled documents being removed over the years. Muppets.
  22. I wonder why they rescinded the vaccinated only rule. Probably because they astutely determined that the sum total of people who want to go there and are fully vaccinated (and can prove it) is a number slightly less than the cube root of Pi.
  23. "The details on yesterday’s 14 new deaths were not given, which is standard for the health department." The ages of all Thailand's alleged Sars-cov-2 deaths would make interesting reading. I'd suggest they are probably similar to the UK, where the median age of covid related deaths is 82 years and the mean age is 79.9 years. For comparison, the official life expectancy in the UK is 81 years. Data from March 2020 to June 2021. My source is ons.gov.uk if anybody doubts the official government data. You have to download the somewhat difficult to find spreadsheet released under a freedom of information request - I don't know why they would try to hide this info .
