Worst Joke Ever 2026
Yeah, even on a big image it just won't go away. My brain is damaged forever!! Interestingly, my wife, who is blind as a bat without her specs, saw it straight away (although she didn't know who it was).

Hit and run got me, I'm all broken!
In the civilised world that would be "attempted murder". Here? Take care and look after yourself! Or else!!

Save the file and look at the thumbnail from a distance, it's much more obvious. It's one of those things that, once you see it, it's impossible to un-see.

Remember last year we were joking about AI moderation? EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! Ah, sorry about that, software glitch!! Rest assured that all our moderation staff are mostly human.

Hover over it and it tells you that you are a Gold Member. It's another of those "enhancements" that software engineers make when they can't fix the actual bugs

"Green Gas" is a mix of propane and butane, conveniently similar to "cooking gas". Video link for information only. Do Not Try This At Home

Buying house with land on Samui

Buying house with land on Samui
You need to do the funds transfer whilst in the land office. Hand over the cash or cheque in front of the officer or show the officer the transfer screen (get agreements from the seller and land office on how to do the funds swap beforehand). For your electrical, you might get a licenced sparks to look over it, I've not seen an actual electrical inspector other than the PEA chap whose "inspection" was cursory to say the least.

Buying house with land on Samui
Regarding payment - Madam uses a cashier's cheque, (actually last time she used a QR bank transfer) to pay the land price, cash for the taxes at the land office.

You can set up your phone to reject potential spam calls, I still get a few but most are flagged. Google is your friend on how to do this.

Obliged to give copy of passport?
We were actually the victims of a similar scam, long ago (2004). Rented a condo from the Management Company, no problem, paid deposit and rent, got receipts. After about 3 years a lady turned up at the door and was rather surprised to see us. She had a loong chat with Madam and drank coffee. Turned out she was the actual owner and the Mgmt Co. weren't sending her the rent and hadn't told her there was anyone renting. We switched to paying her direct and stayed another 5 years. Condo management company were, er, removed.

Problems with Safe-T-Cut
Pop the lid off the shower and post a naked photo

Problems with Safe-T-Cut
Unsafe definitely. It may just need the lid taking off and freeing up. Many use a standard RCBO for a simple fix.
