  1. It seems the popularity of the EV is dwindling fast due to huge losses on resales, plus difficulty in recycling the batteries.
  2. There's always an a-hole somewhere, nowhere is safe.
  3. Just watched the video, the Brit king hit the 67 year old Thai man. No matter what was said, no excuse. That better?
  4. The Guard (2011) Very entertaining Irish black comedy, with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. Try and get a version with English subs, the Irish accent can be tough going.
  5. Oh, it's a conspiracy against the Brit.
  6. Sounds like the falang had a history of "snapping".
  7. You mean the falang who had a history of a bad temper?
  8. They get reported as well. Just check out the Thai local TV news sometime.
  9. What You Wish For. I suppose this would belong in the horror genre, but it's definitely a cut above the usual rubbish. Kept me entertained from start to finish.
  10. I just amended my post, it says 160, but I believe the 80 mcg is only available in 60 doses and works out a lot more expensive. The 120 dose (160 mcg) is around 1400 baht and the 60 dose (80 mcg) is 1100 baht. Go figure, the lesser strength is more expensive. Like low fat milk being more expensive than full fat.
  11. There is no option of strength when I buy from Fascino, only 60 or 120 doses. There is nothing marked on inhaler re dose either. I stand corrected, there is a marking of 160 which indicates 160 mcg of budesonide/4.5 mcg of formoterole, but there is an option for 80 mcg, but I have never been asked what dosage I want..
  12. Price is pretty much the same as Symbicort. Will try drinking more water after inhaling to stop hoarseness.
  13. It works well for me, other than the hoarseness, and is much cheaper than what you are paying at 1400 baht for 120 doses.
  14. Do you have any problem with hoarseness?
  15. There are 120 doses in Symbicort, 2 puffs a day should last 2 months.
  16. Then how often on average do you use Symbicort? The instructions say to use twice a day.
  17. So is Symbicort, 1400 baht for 120 doses.
  18. I use a Symbicort inhaler a couple of times to manage my COPD. It works very well, but it has a nasty side effect in that it makes me very hoarse and my voice croaky. I gargle twice and drink water after use but it doesn't fix the problem. I know that it's the steroid content of the inhaler that does the damage, so I don't really know if there's another option, because these types of inhalers all contain steroids. Anyone else have the same problem or an alternative?
  19. Give Lazada a miss. I ordered 5 different shirts, but all 3XL size, some were huge, some too small. All from China, but the sizes are all over the place. I found Soi Bukhao (Pattaya) market much better, sizes are to be trusted and decent quality.
  20. Ian Rankin's worth 10 million quid, so yeah, he is struggling.
  21. I know the author has to sign off on the book, but I'm not sure how much input he/she has as far as keeping the storyline true to the original. I just had a look and generally an author has little or no input into the making of the film of their book. Maybe some authors like JK Rowling or Stephen King can wield a bigger stick.
  22. What's the point in making a movie or TV series with the same name but totally different from the book? It's just cashing in on the reputation of the writer or his work.
  23. The series is Rebus in name only. If it was called Flatfoot or something similar there would be absolutely no way it would be linked to the Rebus books.
  24. The series isn't a patch on the books, it's watchable but forgettable.
  25. So Muslims are 200 years behind the rest of the world?
