  1. I had a major problem in the loft with some critters or other. Never found out what they were, but they made a lot of noise. A friend gave me a can of Chinese spray. I'm not kidding! The rats disappeared after one spray. It's available very cheaply on Lazada, about 16 THB a can. I recommend.
  2. What happened to Yam ยำ? I have several mango salad venues in Jomtien. Sour, sometimes pretty unbearably so, with added lime juice, sugarless, but sometimes with just slightly riper mango. Yum! With a chicken laab. Or crispy pork. Or.... Whatever! Love Thai salads. Lettuce? Bah. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_salads
  3. It's not the same at all. AIS and 3bb operate in different sectors, providing different services. AFAIK, 3bb don't sell SIM cards but I might be mistaken. They are primarily an ISP, not a telecommunications company, though quite possibly telecom services are run over the cables they lease bandwidth on. I'm not sure how affected AIS would be by broken subsea cables. I've not heard what AIS gave as a reason for the outage. I've had problems from time to time with them, but everything has been running smoothly for 6 months. I have an AIS SIM router in a property 300km away on a remote island which continues to send me motion detect pictures. Costs 200 THB pm. My phone SIM same.
  4. Exactly, so why all the fuss? ATMs don't run on AIS. All these Canutist Luddites who can't keep up with progress are really behaving like brats. Tantrum after tantrum over technology they don't understand and accuse of being part of some madman's conspiracy theory about chip implants and COVID delivered from a 5g tower. Remember that beauty? Wake up guys. Yes, be woke! You know it makes sense, cos you don't.
  5. Search me. I don't use the 2 latter, but with 3bb, I just have to bite the bullet. It's force majeure. There's not a lot they can do short term, but actually they seem to be managing quite well. I find Sky is quite badly affected so look for other channels carrying the same content, eg Astro, TNT etc. I hope to see Fury getting banged up by Usyk! And Chelsea getting some European action after a pretty dreadful season.
  6. So if the ATMs out, you just go hungry then?
  7. Ever heard of an ATM? I'm pretty sure they don't run on AIS. Probably TOT fibre, or 3bb. I mean, somewhere along the line you're going to need a cash distribution point. It doesn't grow on trees. So if the banks are closed and the ATM is out of order, what are you going to do for cash?
  8. Ooohh err missus, 50 minutes! End of the world scenario. In any case, not everyone uses AIS. Can switch to card payment. Where do you get your cash? From an ATM?
  9. 8 years down the road. So what? 8 years lost.
  10. Danish carbo. Exactly what it says. 🤤🤤🤤
  11. Russia allegedly has 3.5m personnel in its armed forces, yet it's unable to defeat Ukraine with a fraction of that. 2 years and counting. So it's not just the number and calibre of the guns, but as you say, the number and calibre of the fighting forces. Ukrainians are fighting to defend their country, their homes, their families and their future. The Russians are there because they've been told to go there. They have no clue what they're doing there. A look of blank incomprehension if you tell them what Putin tells us. Are you kidding me? Is the normal response. You can fool a few foreigners, but not your own people, not forever, no frigging way!
  12. I've no idea what the American left looks like, let alone the progressive left. I'm interested as I've never read a rational debate about "left wing" politics in America, nor heard from any of its proponents. All we get here is hysterical, foul mouthed ranting from those who, I guess, in UK, we would call right wing. American politics seems brutal compared.
  13. Blah blah blah. Hardly hyperbole.
  14. Mickey Mouse. No, wait, Mickey's ok. Nobody wants the job, and I can't blame them. Retardlicans.
  15. You saw Oppenheimer? Check it out. They thought he was a communist and his wife. Many "liberal lefties" fought against Franco in 1936. Ever heard of George Orwell? Try "Homage to Catalonia". So what's your assessment of liberal lefties based on? Any sources? It seems most republicans see Biden as a liberal lefty. What a fricking joke!
  16. What do you know about the liberal left? Who have you read that you think belongs in that category. And I don't mean some stupid YouTube bs. Americans think fighting against Franco made you a communist. They have absolutely no clue about politics or politicians. Left wing in America? There's no such thing. But mobs a plenty.
  17. That's utterly grotesque. Sums up perfectly western attitudes to Islam.
  18. But that's Russia, right?
  19. I explained I did that already twice. They said cannot.
  20. If that were the case, what's it doing in Ukraine?
