Do YOU Think I Could Survive on Spanish Extra-Virgin Olive Oil?

What a stunning female! Are we allowed to say that nowadays without asking?

Big Bike brand with good service in Thailand?
Triumph is a decent option nowadays; chuck a Trident around in Thai traffic no end. They're put together here, What is others' experience with servicing. Would go naked bike where possible. OMF, glad you put Big in quotes when talking 4-700cc 😉

High Season invasion starting?
Lived in Phuket in the early 2000s. Very much enjoyed my time there--esp Kata Noi--and the great food and cycling. Have nowt against Chinese, more large groups thing, but would not want to do it today. You have my sympathy.

What sort of neighbors do you have?
In Thailand, pretty decent in general. Lived in a respectable neighbourhood in CM for years and the only times I had issue was withy loud, Pattaya-esque farangs (sorry guys) and couple of Koreans. Had the local dwarf Karen walking around bigging it up, but that is about it. I would have Thai neighbours any day to the utter ahole boomers I had to endure in the UK! F a doodle do!

Do you like beards?
The site has been being 'killed' since its inception, late 2002. Just bung them on ignore if this or that topic shakes you up. My list is huge. This doppelgänger is on it, but I'll let it pass if it looks mildly interesting. 😋

Do you like beards?
Decent topic by this op for once. Each to their own and alright if you're Grizzly Adams in the Rockies, but beards are small willy issue surely?... cue donkey UK policemen. Most of them nowadays is down to fad. CRINGE! They make you look ten years older, guys, and the women hate them no matter what they tell you. Doubly stoopid in the tropics, but, again, each to their own. Just don't include me in your delusion that you think you look cool.

Why do you want to live so long?
Aside from genetics, would posit stress, diet and environment are main players in overall health. Stress in particular is really hard on the body. You also cannot perpetually shovel sh,ite into your system and not expect it to bite back, cancer or otherwise. People hold on because they are scared of the possibility of a nothingness, and of course leaving people behind. Not worries about the former. What scares me most is the potential of there being something else and it being worse than the worst that life can throw at you. How far would I want to go? 60 absolute tops.

China and Thailand should expedite building of the China-Thailand railway : Xi Jinping
Careful when quoting yourself online; it is akin to answering oneself back in public.

Thai airlines weigh in on passenger pounds
Really? Might be outside McDonalds but don't think this is generally representative of the local populace. Move around a bit, bro.

Anyone have good information about buying a vacuum cleaner?
Yes, but stroll on. Go and take a chill pill. Life’s too short to be miserable. Truly.

Have also had good experiences with Numatic, various sized units. Great for vaccing sand/gravel out of pool filters and they run and run.

Sounds noisy. Does it wash the floor well?

Four years! Must’ve been a massive relief getting on that plane. 👍

A load of tosh. Propaganda not needed. The figures speak for themselves. China has done it time and again with many African nations. Eagerly await the place to go bankrupt itself.

Thai poll lists arrogance as their #1 complaint about Farangs.
To be fair, it’s not far off. Don’t lord it up in front of the natives, guys. 😉

Tightest Thai budget
It’s doable but not for a wife-beater-wearing mongerer.

"No Weed" signs have appeared in my Condo building..
Might be yours but smoking on balconies and being a nuisance is not on. I’m pro and will partake on occasion but would not light up if they were on their balcony below. For non-smokers especially, it is disgusting to have fag/weed smoke wafting through. Spare a thought for others. Regards the op, the law is clear, not in public—might also extend to balcony if others are being affected. Those guys are out of order.

Universal healthcare with one ID card set to expand in Thailand
Should roll out to farangs if they’re paying tax.

Thai airlines weigh in on passenger pounds
Disagree. Eventually overly large people should be expected to pay more. It’s not my fault they overeat and use more fuel. I check in with a bag one kilo over and get charged handsomely for the pleasure, while a fatty twice my size with a bag slightly underweight does not get penalised. Time to call them out and also pay for an extra seat if they encroach on their neighbour.

Motorbike rider, who blocks Phuket ambulance, breaks both legs in accident
It's not the ambulance, per se, more the inconvenience of someone wanting to make one move.
