  1. From a dutch newspaper: "Inappropriate" There was a scare in The Hague on Wednesday morning when suddenly gigantic clouds of smoke could be seen from kilometres away. The fire brigade rushed out with several vehicles, but did not need to take action. As it turned out, a venue on Fruitweg was fed up with a Buddha statue; "it no longer fitted into the interior". Of course, the owners could have sold the Buddha or perhaps had it collected by the thrift shop, but they decided to set the statue on fire. "It doesn't fit in the car" was the explanation. They were only fined for an environmental offence.
  2. I wonder where the air pollution come from, from over the bay, so let say Chonburi with the heavy industry there?
  3. So, restaurant owners ask permission to serve alcohol between 2pm and 5pm. Isn't that a bit ridiculous, after all, my lunch is always between 12:00 and 14:00, so it seems more logical to me to be allowed to serve alcohol from noon onwards, after all, a glass of Chablis with lunch is not to be sneezed at...
  4. I have a chair from Ikea and have to say it is a good quality with 10 years waranty, about the chair recomandable, about other stuff, that's a different story.
  5. How do you come up with it, how do you mean indoctrination?
  6. It's a good thing Europe exists, otherwise those Yanks would never be able to receive mail. Does me good.
  7. It is a rare person on earth though, so many illnesses he has in a short time of being back in his homeland, miraculous, don't you think.
  8. Have had 2 condos for rent through AIRBNB, both sold, and had no regrets. All this whining...it's never good.
  9. Clear, so my next question is who wants to swap their ev with my Isuzu MU-X?
  10. Totally agree what you mention here and especially towards getting older, you realise the relativity of life.
  11. And of-line shops are those still exempt?
  12. They can't find a competent somebody.
  13. It is not the first time and may not be the last.....
  14. As far as I know there are no such tall apartment buildings in Phuket, maybe it is picture from BKK.
  15. Like many countries, more muslims occupy the country.
  16. Not to mention you also have to pay these days to take a few steps among the grapevines. Last time, I turned right around.
  17. Yes, it still happens in LOS. I remember, had promised someone a monthly transfer to her account but made the mistake to a wrong account number, which was also in my list. After 6 months, I found out about the mistake and requested the person who received it ubusily to refund it as soon as possible, he was slightly offended, did not have an internet account, so was not aware of the amounts received, but stated as a Buddhist being he would never appropriate it. So you can.
  18. Agree, I also always pay by cash, all the cars I bought, now about 6 cars, last time it was about 1.6 million bath, the cashier hand-rolled it where I was sitting, delicious. And even 2 of the 3 condos, i own before, pay cash....luckily this is not europe where your account is blocked when you want to withdraw 5000 euros
  19. Can remember a report in the newspaper for some time that vanilla ice cream was going to be more expensive due to shortage of vanilla, but it was only done to drive up the price namely, in 95% of vanilla ice cream is artificial vanilla added.
  20. in our backyard a field full of lemons, no shortage here, and I drink it daily with water.
  21. For long time I drink now sugar-free coca-cola so I don't miss it, I have also been drinking my coffee for years without sugar.
  22. Boat maffia, tuk tuk maffia, taxi maffia, better don't stay at Phuket. Of course I forgot to mention, it is only good for the Russian, of the same kind. Will never forget I had an apartment in Patong and wanted to sell it, the owner of the building did want to buy it back from me, but we did not come to an agreement, when I told him a Russian was interested, the deal was quickly made, and that was 15 years ago now.
  23. Especially when you live in high rising buildings.....
  24. Yes, it reminds me about Mo? Who married a nine-year-old, after all.
