  1. TONY kart racing team profile says he was born in Spain.
  2. I wasn't so lucky. Went to Specsavers in the UK 3 months ago, thought I was going to get a free eye test as I'm over 60 but I was told I had to pay because I wasn't currently registered with a UK doctor. Overall, still pleased with their service, I got two pairs for less than the cost I had been paying for one pair here.
  3. "The newest of these is called “tomato flu,” and has affected over 100 children in India, according to a recent correspondence in The LancetTrusted Source." The population of India as of 2020 was 1.38 billion! "The authors report that tomato flu, likely a viral disease, was first identified in the Kollam district of Kerala, India on May 6, 2022." So in a period of 3 months plus, that works out at just over 1 a day. "According to The Lancet, the disease is considered non-life-threatening and resolves on its own in time." Thailand "does not regard the disease as a matter of domestic concern." What a complete non-story.
  4. Its where two or more roads meet and people hang around on the corner trying to trick you out of your money.
  5. Cash or Credit? - a common enough term. They certainly didn't use a credit facility.
  6. Except that's not what she asked for. "She then suggested that the company return her down payment and 16 instalments and she was prepared to buy a new one from them. " So she didn't asked for it to be repaired as new plus all her payments back did she?
  7. Exactly my thoughts. The OP makes it look like each prospective candidate had their own, individual questions.
  8. And they didn't treat her either. "70-80% burns on her body on a gurney outside ER. Medics were frantically running about as 10 terribly burned other victims were waiting in line for treatment."
  9. home·stay a type of holiday or visit in which you stay in the home of a person you do not know: Must be a really big family home if it can accommodate a group of 30 plus another group of 20.
  10. Reportedly, there is a competition going on between journalists to see how many times they can get the word "reportedly" into one article.
  11. I paid £100 to watch the Eagles last month and 2 weeks before that I paid £110 to watch the Rolling Stones. I'd hardly call that "crazy money".
  12. Looking at the photo, the kids don't seem to know what to do with it. Perhaps they've never had that amount of food on their school dinner plates before.
  13. I've had Thai Royal Mail charge me tax on individual items in a box plus the weight of the entire goods so effectively I was being taxed twice on those items. The tax on the individual items was based on "estimated" values - I challenged the valuations and provided the actual values by producing the original receipts. I also pointed out that the bulk of the weight of the box was made up of personal documents which should not attract any import duty. Result? Pay up or you don't get the box. They can do whatever they want, up to you if you want the goods or not.
  14. First thing they would need to do is form a committee, come up with a catchy name and then print some t-shirts and baseball caps (plus jackets for the VIPs) for the photo op. If they really want to push the boat out (no pun intended) they could also write a song.
  15. Brought to you by the same people who 6 months ago wanted to introduce a 500 baht arrival tax.
  16. ThaiTicket Major are still showing seats available which is strange considering the organisers were saying it was a sellout within days of the tickets going on sale.
  17. Looks more like a woman that's getting her head smashed into the ground by another woman.
  18. I agree with you but the fact is that motorcyclists in Thailand are told to ride as close to the white line as possible. Time they revised the highway code and got them riding in the centre of the lane.
  19. I don't see anyone undertaking a truck, I see a truck cutting off a motorcyclist.
