While not condoning what happened in any way, and not wishing to detract in any way from the tragedy, I cannot help feeling some sympathy for the cop!

He was forty nine years old, had reached the rank of senior staff sergeant, so for how many years had he been coping with directing traffic driven by 'morons'?

I think I would have flipped after about ten minutes of Thai traffic.

Might lead to some thought towards disarming cops on traffic duty(?)

Buddhism is quite definitley not a religion, having no god nor saviour!

It is, quite definitly, a good way of life.

Try Google, 'The Golden Jubilee Network'

Blimey Spuds, did not take you long to get the treatment, did it?

Don't worry too much about it, tune in to something that will make her giggle, it is cheaper than shopping, and far more rewarding.

I've had two of them, both been the same.

Raslin, I do appreciate your position, and I feel sure that the other members here will provide a few solutions that you will find workable, and definitly one that you will be happy to work with.

This is a major headache for any Brit thinking of a life in the sun, and without it, there would be far fewer 'whinging poms'.

Ex-pat pensioners constitute 4 per cent of the UK pensioners, yet successive governments see it as saving money by screwing them out of a miserly 1 or 1.5 percent increase each year.

Hopefully we can get it changed, no sign of it yet, but that does not stop us trying!

Good luck mate, I am sure you will still be there when I get there!

Monogamy........

isn't that a one wheeled bike?

All the evidence I have seen points to the pii taking the trees!

Now I can see the diference between the soap dodgers and poms.......

The boys from down under are all wearing shades

for protection from

the b****y silly grins on the faces of the poms!

My brother in law is a traffic cop......

So cough up fellas,

it is another sick buffalo I do not have to worry about!

I am older than I was yesterday, but not as old as I hope to be tomorrow!

Amazing Thailand!

Sixty years filling in the klongs, and now they find they are useful!

Truly amazing!

Must be right......MS W/P spelling and grammar check passed it!

He missed a great opportunity for guitar lessons with the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Holly, John Denver, The Lynyrd Skynyrds who all perished in plane/helicopter crashes.

I understood he was a 'fiddler'!

Used Nokia for years until last year with no complaint, then wnt for a 'free' upgrade last year, just before comming to Thailand for a month or so.

Jumped at the chance of camera/bluetoothed all singing, all dancing moto. Great, loved it, so did the kids out there, masses of pics etc., until I came home to an extremely large bill.

Niether the sales person nor the literature made any mention of the fact that, unless specifically de-selected, auto-redial would continue to operate ad infinitum, and at that period of time the Thai networks did not cater for 'net' storage, and that was what my little toy was trying to do. Seventy five pence every dial up at two minute intervals over a six week period.

Vodafone were very understanding and most accomodating, but I have since sorted a different contract!

Do tourist/ visitor mobiles need to be registered too?

I love it, but I can never avoid wondering just how hungry was the first ever person to try it?

Should not think the language changes would cost more!

They are already talking about the whole thing costing well over 300 quid, after starting at between eighty and ninety.

Hate to think what the cost will be by the time they arrive.

I have been in and out of Thailand for forty years, and, no, it ain't been a day too long! Family commitments keep me on the yo-yo trip, but every visit, at least once a year, often more, I have been given amulets by family members. I have so many I could never get them all round my neck, so, they, as with the previous posters, stay with the house buddha.

They are all very very special, being given, if not with love, always from the heart, and each and every one is a treasured possession.

The latest addition was given to me by my grandson. and he carved it himself from a slivver of teak. His next little suprise was my introduction to my great-grandson!

They are my treasure, and I am proud to show them off. But I do not wear them as a badge! But I do wear them with pride.

Not a lot of experience with some of them, but how did Qantas and BA get up there?

Avoid the pair of them like the plague, personaly.

Hopefully not just another purge! Like so much in Thailand, the billboards are very much OTT.

Clear a few away and we may yet again see a beautiful city.

'Sticky Rice', 'Sweet Rice', I have always looked for and found 'Glutinous Rice'.

May help, may not, good luck.

Chose mine, albeit for 'another place', as a 'flame guard',

by the time anyone spelled it correctly they had forgotten what I had said! '

Guilty or otherwise, one thing is for sure......he will be skint by the time it is all over!

I've gone into all the blog settings and out of ten entries only the last two are visible whereas the previous eight which I put the most effort into are not.

I only recently re-vamped my blog and had not previously realized that I was the only one who could view it.

Is there any way to 'publish' these 8 hidden ones or is it something that can't be undone?

Someone must be on the ball today Scampy, just looked and saw Nine......

maybe you are doing something wrong?

Beat me to it again.

I would Love to figure out how the Kingdom of Thailand works...
