They'll be getting plenty of them soon. Mainly military reservists flying out of Russia to avoid conscription to fight in Ukraine.

Adding to his collection must be getting expensive.

Perhaps as Buddhists they believe n reincarnation, so are not afraid of dying. Same in India.

I know some here who won't go back because (a) they have friends or family in Ukraine, and (b) they are afraid they will be called up again and forced to go there and fight.

Ah! The old listening to another Thai girl on social media. They paint a picture that the roads are paved with gold Maybe show her some photos of the Mall, Hyde Park Corner and other local landmarks when gridlocked in the rush hour. I had to explain to the GF that London only ever looks empty like that at very special occasions, such as a State Funeral and that normally it is packed with traffic, and suffers polluted air the same as BKK.

If she had bought a chihuahua instead, they wouldn't have needed an iron bar to pry its jaws open, and the damage would have been far less. Then again. A Chihuahua named Nazi might have looked ridiculous. ????

What puzzles me is how they could sell the stolen cars as new. Were they brand new cars stolen before sale in the UK? Or second hand cars sold as new? That must have required some work and replacement parts to hide that they were used. There must be some p****d off Thai owners having paid for, and having confiscated their 'new' pride and joy. That is of course, if they were not aware of what was happening.

Will probably just be written off as another unfortunate accident. But as you say, that amount of damage to the front of the car seems to indicate speeding.

For the same reason we can't go and live in or sell No.10 Downing Street or Chequers, or many other buildings. They are owned by the State (Chequers was gifted to the State) and used by the elected government of the time. Chequers as the official Residence of the Prime Minister. Just as in the US, the White House is owned by the Federal Government and used by the elected president.

Lightweight, light coloured, loose fitting, long sleeved shirts. Preferably linen or cotton. Those tight, stretchy things are too uncomfortable for me. Can easily find synthetic, loose fitting sports shirts. by Adidas and nike etc Long sleeve not so easy, but to be honest, I find all that synthetic stuff too hot. Same for shorts or trousers. light weight and loose fitting. How those construction workers can work all day covered from head to toe, even wearing a balaclava, is beyond me. Needs must I suppose.

Then perhaps you should tell the police, because they don't seem to know.

So is it illegal or not to sell or smoke cannabis? I only ask because everywhere I go, I see shops and stalls openly selling it. And I am not talking oils.

The state already owns all the castles. I believe the late Queen only owned Balmoral and Sandringham personally.

What makes you think things would be different as a republic? Not sure the UK having another form of government would be any better than what we already have. Look at Putin, Musharraf, Erdogan, Chavez for a start. All made themselves President for life.. Even Trump has shown the weaknesses in the American system.

Not sure the cauliflower ears, broken noses and lost teeth will be a great look for women in their future. But why not? Women want equality. If they want to fight, let them.

All the hospitals that I have used here in Thailand usually have a website, and a 'Find a Doctor' option. Here one can usually see the different departments, doctor's education, speciality etc. So it is possible to find several specialists in a chosen field, choose one and make an appointment to see them.

The scourge of having a keyless system. It has happened to me so many times on my PCX, I have lost count. It's not that I don't turn off the ignition. The switch seems to go so far, then won't go any further unless you wait a second or two. Really annoying. If you don't turn the switch off properly, the battery will drain and yes, the ignition switch will lock. I sold my previous PCX because the battery kept going flat every time I left the bike for three or four days. I thought there must have been a short. The person I sold it to has never had any problems. I even used to turn off the remote, but always the same. As blackcab posted. If similar to the PCX, look for a small removable panel near the ignition key. Remove that, and you can use the plastic emergency thingy to open the seat to access the battery. It might be worth keeping some jump leads for such occasions. Or buy a battery charger. Saves a lot of time and hassle.

There seems to be a severe shortage of Canon printer ink cartridges. Probably due to global conditions. it took ages ordering my last lot several months ago, and now cannot find them anywhere. Found some non OEM ones on Lazada, but wary of buying them as the original ones have a chip in them to detect they are original. The printer won't even accept another same shape, same size Canon black ink cartridge from another printer. Anyone know where I might try to get some? Already tried Invadeit. TIA

Is it like a large tray? There to protect an oil cooler? Similar to the car radiator. It is probable OK to drive, but if there is an oil cooler, the fins could get damaged by stones or get clogged with dirt, leaves etc.

That must be how some of those old guys feel when walking down the street and some hottie shouts, "Hello hansum man! I go with you tonight!" ????

Maybe they took too much blood.

The only thing that I can think of is that I had a motorbike accident about three years ago. We clashed heads (helmets). It could have been the impact that caused it. Never had any symptoms. Then about nine months ago I started to see 'floaters' in my eye. Put it down to old age, but when I mentioned it to the doctor, she started looking at my retinas.

Was going to be in Bangkok anyway, so booked an appointment at Rutnin to get my eyes tested. Finding it difficult lately to read on both phone and computer screen. All went pretty smoothly from registration, through vision accuity tests. Told I needed reading glasses and they will give me a prescription. Then sent to see the doctor. Quite a long wait. About two hours. All the time I was checking my watch as I had a return flight to Samui booked for 17:45. Given drops in eyes, then in to see the doctor. Picked up an abnormality in one optic nerve so sent for Glaucoma test (Negative). Then inspected my retinas and told me that I had two tears that needed to be fixed urgently to prevent detachment. Was sent to laser clinic, given more eye drops and a retina specialist came and did the laser repairs straight away. After paying the bill, vision still slightly blurred from the drops, I walked to Makkasan and took the airport train. Rushed through the airport and still managed to catch my flight home. Got to return next month to check results. Was impressed with how quickly I was treated. From diagnosis to start of treatment must have been under twenty minutes.

I haven't done one for several years now. The last time I went there, they stapled a piece of paper in my passport saying that I have registered my place of address with them. That seems to be good enough. No more questions ever asked as I must be 'in their system' now.

Sorry. No money to buy shoes.
