Tarnished? No problem.

Thank God the Russians don't play golf.

It's obvious, somebody nicked his pushbike.

Shortbackandsides.

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.

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.

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.

Live like you'll die tomorrow, plan like you'll live forever.

You know you've become well adapted to Thai driving and road conditions when you drive at home and feel scared and confused by the rigid orderliness.

They should stick to doing e-coli and formalin tests at the markets and food outlets. I vaguely recall some results a few years ago showing that something like 70% of street vendor food in Bangkok was smothered with e-coli.

Put up the argument that the past weekend shouldn't count as they were not business days and the IO was closed, so really only 7 days overdue.

You have to be British (or a colonial) to appreciate the culinary delight of bangers & mash. Must be beef bangers, of course.

I consider myself to be somewhat of a sausage and English breakfast aficionado. The best breakfast available is cooked daily by yours truly. After more than 14 years of research, I can attest that the best sausages available are from Manston. Their English breakfast pork sausages are probably the best, but I only have these sage and red onion ones in the fridge at the moment. For clarification, they don't come anywhere near the quality and flavour of the many brands of boutique style sausages available to me at home. But they are miles ahead of the tasteless plastic skinned dogfood otherwise available in Thailand supermarkets.

I'm struggling to recall the last time I had a day sans alcohol, but I'm reasonably confident it was during the reign of Maggie Thatcher, may God rest her soul. ????

They're talking "Thai time", 20 seconds could mean 3 minutes, or the day after tomorrow......maybe. Get with the programme.

I wonder what John Galt would have to say about this?

Don't try to explain the theory of earthing to a Thai Sparky. It's a rabbit hole you don't want to go down. When I eventually convinced him the earth wire on the newly installed water pump was a necessity, he screwed it to a plastic housing.

Economists and Meteorologists are allowed to get it wrong more than half the time and still keep their jobs. I look out the window and can make a better guess. Objectivism comes in handy every day.

Back to the future, when a spade wasn't a shovel, and a transvestite was a bloke who wore women's clothes.

Sell the house. Sorted.

If they can't utter a sentence without using the F word, I tend to avoid any interaction. Another good test is if their knuckles are dragging on the ground. Funnily enough, some of the nicest blokes are the ones that look as though they got dressed in the dark and are a walking fashion crime.

My wife is 36. My girlfriend is 26. I'm one year older than their combined ages. I leave the math to the reader.

No smoke, no skid-marks. Drifting Thai style (driving in circles). Hell yeah brother, you're not on the Cleetus McFarland youtube channel.

This happens to me all the time. I just thought it's because I have a face like a burglar, and they assume I'm about to nick sumfink.
