If he was Russian he'd be a Gopnik, not a Chav or Bogan. There's something quintessentially European about classist slurs. Rednecks, Hosers, Skeets add to the list. Any more?

Economy Rising Egg Prices in Thailand Strain Consumers and Businesses

I'm all for the metric system, but buying eggs in packs of ten is just wrong.- 38 replies

The healthy choices are bacon fat, lard, dripping, and EV olive oil. Turns out my dear old Mum knew a thing or two about a healthy diet.

Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
Gsxrnz replied to kwilco's topic in Off the beaten track
I'm with Ayn Rand. -
Bezos committed the ultimate misogynistic act, and did it in plain sight. He crammed a bunch of air-headed women with a cleavage emphasizing uniform into a phallic shaped vehicle, fired them into space with absolutely no agenda to achieve anything even remotely scientific or societally significant. I mean all they had to know what to do is buckle and unbuckle a safety belt, they didn't even have to push a button. None of them were slightly less than average looking or even slightly less than perfect figures. I suspect he now holds the record for sending record volumes of silicone into orbit. He allowed their idiotic meaningless comments to be broadcast while they waved a flower and a cuddly toy around, and then didn't even mute the microphone when they were screaming during freefall as they re-entered. The final screams on capsule impact were hilarious. If you wanted to ridicule women, he did it perfectly. I bet Mike Rowe is fair pi**ing himself.

Thai State Audit Building Collapse Unveils Alleged Extravagance
Gsxrnz replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I'm no engineer. Had a Meccano set back in the day, but. Even to the untrained eye, those columns look perilously skinny and far too few. My seven-story condo building has much sturdier columns. -
Up 50% since I bought physical, not that long ago. No complaints. If it comes down to 3K I'll take profit and expect to re-enter again. But at the moment I'm moderately bullish. Very few understand that the upside for gold is potentially unlimited. While the upside for T-Bills is restricted to its face value at maturity, ergo 100%. And if you can double your money on a T-Bill, the money you doubled will probably not buy you a cup of coffee.

Thailand Faces High Road Fatalities as Songkran Safety Measures Launch
Gsxrnz replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Mind you, it's not only the locals. Just followed a muppet Russian tourist (actually probably on a student visa, because it was his own personalised Vmax "wannabe" scooter) up Thappraya Road from Jomtien. I was behind him at the U-turn just past Rompho and he couldn't make the turn - he had to paddle it. Obviously zero riding skills - I undertook him. He then fangs it past me and about ten other scooters as we depart the Thepprasit lights, makes multiple gap choice errors, brakes on and off a dozen times, counterbalances the wrong way as he attempts to weave at speed between the cars, probably should have died three times. Then he stops at the U-turn at the top of the hill, and proceeds to paddle it around - again. I undertook him - again. These are the ones that will get you. -
Karoline Leavitt: The Young Firebrand Behind Trump’s Messaging Revival

She decimates and eviscerates the legacy media on a daily basis. It's like watching a teenager tease a cat with an LED torch. Poetry in motion.- 53 replies

Cultural appropriation is a ridiculous social construct. I don't see too many Arabs wearing Saville Row suits being dressed down for cultural appropriation. Maybe Uncle Tony was culturally appropriating the dress, mannerisms, and food tastes of a Christian Arab, nothing to do with Islam.

Judging by the way they just casually sauntered on to the crossing, the tourists thought they were still in Berlin and rules MUST BE OBEYED. I usually find that even a little pre-trip reading about your vacation spot generally alerts you to potential dangers and modes of recommended behaviour to ensure survival. i.e when travelling in Africa, don't try to pet a wild lion, swim with the crocodiles, or ride a hippo. In LOS, don't cross the road unless there are no vehicles in sight for 100 metres in both directions, and never on a crossing. Never buy grilled pork from a country stall that doesn't have an ice cooler and the closest refrigerator is 30klm away, obey the three-day rule, never argue with an angry taxi driver or bar bouncer, don't wear gold chains, and avoid conflicts with Ladyboys at 3am.

Thailand Faces High Road Fatalities as Songkran Safety Measures Launch
Gsxrnz replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's not as if the government actually try to do anything about it. They could take the one positive action of going full DEVCOM 1 on enforcing and educating about motorcycle helmets over an extended period, and I don't mean the last week of the month when the BIB's rent money is due. If they went full media promotion, schools enforcing it, parents pilloried, public shame, no fine - instead confiscation of smartphone, they could easily enforce a cultural change. Trouble is, it would require a functioning police force. Oh well....- 56 replies

Booze-Fueled Songkran Sparks Backlash from Non-Drinkers
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Swimming goggles (preferably tinted) and ear plugs are the ultimate Songkran survival kit. The ear plugs serve a double purpose - protects your ears from the water as well as the 127 decibel Thai music. I've lived here too long. -
Try changing the default language in the specific app settings to English. Otherwise, try this. Settings/General management/App languages - set any that are not "default language" back to default. Assuming of course that your phone default language is English. Also, if it is installed, remove Thai Language from Language Pack in General management.

Historians will look back on the late 20th and early 21st centuries and conclude that the single biggest contributing factor to the demise and destruction of Western society was feminisation. Allowing over emotional nutcases to run governments and alter societal norms with their inbuilt motherly nurturing tendencies was never a good idea. Just imagine your (ex) wife making a logical decision during days 21-28 of her cycle. And we allowed them to be in charge. Jesus wept.
