Ive done

50km bike

15km run

3km swim

Was this an organised event? , the reason I ask is because the normal triathlon/ironman schedule is swim/T1/bike/T2/run , also the distances are kind of hybrid between tri and ironman , longer than tri , but shorter than ironman , perhaps a private or group training for an upcoming ironman..

Rarámuri Runners:

The Rarámuri indigenous people of Mexico are known for their impressive endurance running, with some runners able to run up to 700 km without stopping.   However, there's this sigma in Thailand who can run 800000000 km without stopping while being chased by girls in Pattaya, Phuket, and the Russian mob.    He's still running, and typing......

When I first arrived in Thailand I brought over with me this MERKUR safety razor which I purchased in Jermyn St. London early eighties , but getting blades for it became a PITA and I changed to these 5 blade disposable 3-packs from Aeon in Japan about 5 years ago. I usually bring over 4 packs which last at least 1 year..

Following the accident, Karn was in critical condition and required urgent surgery. An appeal was launched for blood donations of all types, as doctors attempted to stabilise him and transfer him to another hospital for further procedures.

Why on earth didn’t they take him to the correct hospital to begin with (that seems to happen here often) and it seems that they do not know his blood type (no medical records kept or available) , so they will just transfuse him with whatever comes through the door first , providing of course that is red..

Just been shopping in Makro.

Cheese has always been a bit pricey, but now with aro vintage cheddar at 198bht for 500gm

How would you rate that for strength on a scale of 1 to 5 , 1 being almost tasteless and 5 being strong as Stilton.

Going to Makro on Wednesday , so may pick some up.

Also , do they come in 1kg size blocks?

Thanks for posting this..

It has just been recently reported that the victim had been romantically involved with 7 different men at the time of her demise, with one of them providing a monthly stipend of 13,500baht … she played with fire and suffered the consequences deservedly or not..

Is it possible to give a British address and keep receiving your state pension increases into a British bank ?

Yes and more than a few on here do just that…

Woodchip & plastic , same as the furniture..

Wot you need to do is get yourself down to your nearest shopping mall and seek out a part where the floor is wet.

I would suggest something like the wet fish section of a grocery store and grab a coffee and hang around waiting for someone to slip and crack their skull.

Then sue the owners for trauma due to the nightmares brought about by witnessing the event.

Matter of fact if you find a potential slip hazard , give me a bell and I’ll join you, this time next year we could be millionaire’s.

Mine ends with letter C, but get on a Monday.

What determines whether you get weekly or 4-weekly?

According to Co Pilot/ Gov.UK, it goes on the last two digits of NI number i.e. 00-19 Monday, mine is 17, 20-39 Tuesday and so on. 

Interesting , As I understand all NI numbers end with the letters A , B , C , D , or E corresponding to the working days of the week , Mon , Tues ,Wed , Thur , Fri.  My NI is ends with letter C , therefore I get paid on Wednesday.  But my last 2 numerical digits also fall within the range of 40~59  which also comply with what you have said.

As far as whether one gets paid out on a weekly or 4 weekly cycle is concerned , that is something that gets asked when you initially apply for the pension , ie you get to choose which ever method of payment suits you , or at least it did so when I initially reached pensionable age 7 year’s ago.

For some reason I get mine every Monday.

It’s because your National Insurance Number ends with the letter A’

Currently, China has two operational maglev lines: the Changsha Maglev, which reaches 62 mph (101 kmph), and the Shanghai Maglev, which hits 268 mph (431 kmph). While impressive, these speeds are still far from what would be needed for a transatlantic journey in under an hour.  

Can't say I'm overly impressed , perhaps by Thai rail standards...
