If it is true that what some posters were saying last week, that the majority of the Russians agree with their invasion of The Ukraine, then yes, I would deport them back to their mighty leader in Russia. But I still say that the vast majority of Russians do not agree with the invasion.

Soldiers and politicians in government spring to mind.

This is not related to Thailand but I think it may be interesting. In the News now is a woman who says she is Maddy who disappeared age 5 about 16 years ago. It is reported she only has vague memories if something she remembers when she was about 5 years old. How Far Back Can You Remember? I remember at 4 years old talking to my pal at the back of the house where I lived, who was 5 and at school. I remember telling him I was 4 and cannot go to school yet. I can remember where this was said and all the houses, walls trees and an old wash house nearby. Another thing, I can pick off nearly all the names of the children who I started school with at 5 years old. What about you?

I know, that is why they make them up.

No point. IO offices change their staff regularly, there are plenty of decent IO's as well as a$$holes.

I used to slum it with visa's and I had more than 400K in the bank. Even today I can put 800K in my account. No way do I trust Thai banks or would give them more business than I could help. 200+ Bt to use my UK debit card to draw money from a Thai ATM, which I have never done even once, getting charged extra to draw my own money from my bank in another province. At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask.

I would certainly feel sorry for the child, as it was not their fault their stupid parents gave them the motorbike keys. For the benefit of the poster with the saddo emo, how would you feel if one of your family was killed by an underage rider?

If I was involved in the death of an underage rider and the rider was 100% at fault, there is no way I would have any guilt.

True, but the parent responsible for the child riding the bike should have been heavily fined.

Could you be more specific?

Did he?

A Thai fighting one on one????

I haven't had one of their fridges, I learned my lesson with a Samsung microwave. It conked out just after the one year warranty was up, I took it to be repaired and was told it would cost just as much to repair it as to buy a new one. No more Samsung electrical appliances for me.

Just recently I discovered Tinyzone, over a thousand movies from the thirties right up to now. Just download and keep them, great quality, I thought it was great, then I tried them live, they all have English subtitles but plenty of buffering, doesn't matter about subtitles, downloaded the movies I want, and still plenty to see. Now on to the TV series. Sometimes cannot even get them, up pops a very old UK TV soap which ran for years, probably about the best soap ever. UK people will remember Crossroads, it's there from series 1 in 1964 right up until the end. Only one thing, try clicking on, it just doesn't work. How I would have loved to watch that series again. Great for movies, as long as you download them and don't watch them live. TV series?? What a disaster.

I completely agree with your post Bill. but your last paragraph, was it not the PM after Yingluck who was deposed by Prayut and his soldiers?

I came to live in Thailand during the last couple of years of Thaksins premiership, so am not really qualified to comment much on him, but there is one thing here. I have seen how bad the country has been with an unelected soldier as PM, I have seen all the lies and incompetence from him. When I first came to Thailand I saw all the happiness of many farangs and was recommended by them all to come and live here. If Thaksin was really deserving of getting a jail sentence that forced him to leave the country, where must that leave the present unelected PM? From my own experience, am I expected to believe that Thaksin should be in jail and this unelected PM should not?

I know where he will be around 5pm.

I beg to differ. Samsung may be good for phones, but not fridges, microwaves etc.

Why not? I have overpaid by mistake or walked away forgetting my change both in 7-11's and the local market over the 16 years I have been here, and been chased by the staff to return it to me. There are good and dishonest people in every country.

I hope that restaurant goes out of business soon. Dirty rotten lot.

When I was young, and the UK government brought out a scheme for sitting tenants to buy their house, I took a job as a bus driver so I could use my wage packets to get a mortgage. I had to take fares and give out change, at the end of the week any shortfalls came out of my wages. That was fair enough, but any left over was not returned. That was not fair enough. There was no way I was standing for that, so at the end of the day, I was the one who was better off. I don't think I need to explain.

But what if there is any money above the amount recorded in the till. Will that be refunded? I think we all know the answer to that.

All that fine print and legal jargon is there to try and help them refuse claims. small print should be made illegal on anything. There is no reason for any small print, apart from hoping that people won't notice it.

Your posts are usually very sensible, but not this time. I love my Forza, great for both riding in cities and for long distance rides.

A lot of left lanes on highways are left in a dreadful state by overloaded trucks, it can be extremely dangerous for any bike, especially small 125cc's, so it is common sense to ride them on the hard shoulder, though only when it is in a decent condition.
