"Oh no! Soon the whole world will be closed to Brits, including even Britain!" Some parts of Britain already are. 😄

It would not surprise me, a lot of people made a lot of money out of the last pandemic, the medical profession, some hotels etc. so it would seem that the next pandemic will be welcomed in some quarters.

What???? In Thailand??

Go to any part of Bangkok and ask a taxi driver sitting anywhere the cost of taking you to Pattaya and 99% of them will overcharge you. As far as they are concerned you are a tourist and fair game. That is how bad and greedy they are.

Thanks that's a help. But there is no way I will ever trust Lazada. I spent over 1000 Bt on a desk chair from them, they sent me a completely different one from what I ordered, when I wanted a refund all I got was lies about the seller, that he would contact me which he never. They even tried telling me I was too late. I complained within 6 days. I agree that all their sellers are not crooked, but too many of them are.

It has been reported even long before the Ukraine/Russian war that thousands of old people die from cold related illnesses in the UK every winter. That is because of low state pensions, the high cost of gas and electricity, having to choose between eating and heating their homes. This has happened no matter what government is in power. You have Labour, the "Party of the Working Class" but really not much different from the Tories. All just politicians out for themselves. This will never change.

There were two Filipino teachers in the school that I worked in, they were very good teachers as well as good people.

Don't tell me that you were not rude back. I always start off with showing people respect, but if they are rude in any way I give them it back full blast whether they are car park attendants, policemen, IO's or anything else you would like to mention. That was whether here in Thailand or back in the UK though much more likely back in the UK.

Buying spares of any sort from Lazada?? With their crooked sellers?? If they did not have what you wanted then most likely would sell you something else in it's place. My Forza is 9 years old and I lost the service book years ago. 56000Ks on the clock and the bike has never broken down.

My wife is an expert in reversing the truck into a parking space, but in saying that, back in the UK sometimes I would stand at a shopping centre car park and have a laugh at watching the female drivers trying to park their cars.

So you would have to go to the nearest city and buy the spares, that sounds OK. Do the Honda agents sell the spares to you?

"but love hardcore electronic dance music." Music????

I have lost faith in the two Honda dealers nearest to me, and the one in my small town/village will not do any servicing on my Forza as it seems they only service smaller bikes like a Wave or Click. In two Honda agents I have been asked to go and sit in the shop away from the workspace. Would it be a good idea to get a local motorbike garage who works on any bikes to do the oil and filter changes etc? Would he be able to order the parts and do the servicing?

No, I always carry a big stone in the bikes basket.

Your first sentence is correct. I have been downloading TV shows for years without that problem.

I have battered a few dogs who were attacking me while riding a bike by using a big stone. Just slow down and let the leading dog get level with you on your left hand side then BOOM, that is if you are right handed.

"they're pretty simple creatures that thrive on fear and work in packs." Just like certain Thai guys, get them one on one and they will cr@p themselves.

No. Now when I play the downloads the shows stop for a good few seconds about 6 times on an almost 50 mins show. All because the downloads went to 98.5% of the 100% shows. I can only put it down to it's just a computer being a computer.

I used to have to sign on nearly every day, but since the site was down for a few days recently I only have to sign in very occasionally now.

There are no seeders at all.

OK. Tell me more, though I suspect this is a wind up.

I don't understand your last sentence.

No, It did the exact same on the desktop as the laptop. I understand your first sentence, but I will do as OneMoreFarang said, I will start watching it tonight.

Have been downloading movies and TV shows using Pirate Bay for years and had no problems up until now, I have just downloaded a TV series of 96 episodes. I kept the computer on all night, checked it in the morning and was stalled at 98.5 and has now stayed like that for over three full days and nights. Am I going to miss this TV series because it seems to be left stalled with only 1.5 to go?

Yes, just another case of people used to rob banks, now banks rob people. In Thailand anyway.
