  1. Last night at 11pm my dogs started to bark like crazy in their area(8mtr x 3mtr, fenced with a roof) so I grabbed a torrch and my snake catcher, when I shone the torch in there I saw two fish(6''/16cm) flopping around on the tled floor. It surprized the hell out of me as I could see no way they could get in there, no neighbor, brick fence at the aide and cyclone wire fences on the other 3 sides, admittedy on the other sid of the brick fence is a small canal and we had been having extremely heavy rain but there is a shade cloth cover from the top of the fence to the roof and it sits outside the fence and was still there, I picked them up with the snake catcher and dropped them over the fence hoping they would find their way into the canal, they were solidly built, and even though I have fished most of my life I didnt recognize them, this morning when I got up I did a search on the internet and they appear to be black chin tilapia. It has me totally puzzled, how in the hell did two live fish get in there, I havent had the chance to go for a walk and see if there are any others anywhere on our land but will do shortly. Can anyone suggest how they got there, I realize I will get some really BS answers but the only thing I can think of is the rain or they jumped from the canal(1.5mtr wall) but they were too big, at our other house we would have small fish on the roads etc after rain but these 2 just dont make sense. Just checked the canal and it is dry so not from there, fish are gone so something must have eaten them.
  2. we are currently building a bungalow for our daughter next to our house(1 rai block), it is 42 sq metres including a 8 sq veranda, total cost is going to be under 300,000 baht, when we built our house 3 years ago it was 1 million baht, it is 68sq plus a 16 sq veranda and a 24 sq carport both included in the cost. We have been lucky to get good builders for both, I was in the building industry in Australia so have kept a close eye on both, no short cuts and all top materials used. Really depends on who does the work and where you buy the materials, keeping an eye on the work is a must to ensure it is all done correctly, pic is our house(front car port an addition) and floor plan of the bungalow plus the slab being done
  3. trouble is the paris olympic organizers are appologizing for the reproduction of leonardo's painting of the last supper, this makes your version wrong so who is telling the truth, the ones that organized it or the ones that are trying to say it depicted something else
  4. my wife is in her last year before retiring, she manages a mining/export business and wants to keep working so she can retire with no debt. She still does all the housework etc as thats the way she was raised, once we sell the other house she will be debt free so that also means she can retire earlier. I am retricted due to an injury so cant do a real lot but keep myself occupied during the day so it works out well, once she retires we will do a lot more travelling, Our daughter got her doctor qualifications and is working at the local hospital, we are in the process of building a bungalow next to our house for her so she can have company and retain her independence. Maybe if I was able to do a lot more than I can I would like he at home but being partially disabled her working is fine plus she works her own hours and doesnt have a set work time so her being employed is more of a bonus and gives me alone time during the day.
  5. mate, she was home with me waiting for them, no one called her, we have since found out it was the delivery people that changed everything and admitted to not phoning her, the door and windows were delivered once management got involved and appologies were issued
  6. We ordered and paid for a few windows and sliding door for our daughters new self contained bungalow from a major store last week, delivery was organized for today as the builder needs them so they can fit them & finish the job tomorrow. We were waiting all morning for the dellivery and it hadnt arrived so my wife called the store and was told that they had already phoned her and she had cancelled the delivery until the 1st August, while a few of the express delivery services do this every so often we did not expect Thai Watsadu to try it on after quite a few thousand baht was spent with them. We are currently waiting to see if they do now deliver this afternoon, if not it will be interesting to see what we can take them for, very pi**ed off, will have a few choice words for them after they deliver and make sure we talk to their management as well..
  7. typical democrat trying to use total BS to deflect from their own pathetic president, way past time to remove your head from your rectum and face reality but maybe you just enjoy it being up there
  8. wont last very long, they will be netting the river like crazy to take them all
  9. the problem with the supreme court is that if dems are in power they will load it with their justices just as trump did, biden is p*ssed he cant do it so they will vote to do as the dems want & not the other way. As has been seen though they do not always vote with what either party is pushing/wanting, the US has become way to political and as a result average people are losing out to the extremes on both sides pushing their BS views onto everyone, there is no longer middle ground for the parties as there once was and the US is suffering due to it. From what I have seen the supreme court has been fairly good in their decisions even if some think they are controversial, its the political sides that are stirring sh*t about it, their decisons have to be based on the constitution not either parties policies or what they actually want/political views. The supreme court doesnt need either side to try to change what they can do or how it performs, a good justice will go with what they believe the constitution means with no political bias which is what they are supposed to do, trouble is if that decision does not suit the political hacks from either side they rubbish it and try to claim it is due to party policies and not their interpretation of the constitution
  10. have tried a few times, the hummidity seems to be the major problem, I get germination and things start to grow but die off quickly, pumpkins(thai variety) grow but jap etc dont, tomatoes are hopeless, some thai vine vegies do grow though as do chilli peppers & herbs
  11. when biden said trump needs to be put in a bulls eye 5 days ago you have to wonder when a 20 year school/oni indoctrined far left whack job take him up on it
  12. wouldnt be too bad if they put the money back into infrastructure, lines and adding transformers, we are constantly having our power surge, drop back surge drop back because the closest transformer is aound a kilometer plus away, we keep complaing and they keep making up excuses, they have told us if we want it fixed we have to purchase a new transformer ourselves but they will decide where to place it. It is a totally garbage service that refuses to fix the problems with all the old lines etc, too busy putting the money into their own pockets which is where any increases will also go.
  13. its amazing how a bit of kick back to those running the show makes everything alright, the EC is a typical example, they will do what ever they are told as can be seen with their current and past decisions
  14. One of my wifes workers & his new wife that had not been married very long were killed when truck drove at speed through a stop sign, they have since installed lights but even red lights dont stop them, they just dont care and do not like stopping, Thailand needs police on the roads as well as hefty fines etc to try to get all the pathetic drivers/ridrs to either follow road rules or be locked up.
  15. Unfortunately stop signs mean nothing to thai drivers/riders, the amount of time I have had a near accident with thais driving/riding straight through a stop sign isnt funny, they ignore all road rules to suit themselves, not having police patrolling roads as they do in the west is one of ther biggest reasons there are so many bad drivers/riders here. Thais just dont give a sh*t what they do on the roads, way past time for the police/govt to enforce road regulations but being Thailand no one cares to do it, would mean they actually have to do work
  16. hahahahaha, another pathetic dem that refuses to look at anything resembling the truth, russia gate was shown to be total BS but you are still push it like a good little brain washed dem, complaining about non US people commenting because they are able to present unbiased facts that show up all your lies & innuendo, sorry tug(you must really do it a lot to be this pathetic) but you unable to see anything other than the dem BS and are full of it
  17. I am on prostasin 2, 1 at night and ucholine 10, 1 in the morning, has worked great for 6 months but now starting to have to go pee more often especially at night so seriusly have to look at what comes next, do I need to up my dosage or change it or do I need to have the op.
  18. love is the answer for me, not sex, not a drinking partner, not someone to do all the work or someone to help me stay here but someone that makes me smile, be happy, enjoys spending time with me, someone that actually completes me. My wife manages a large business, she also has more money than me so she is also not with me for financial benefits, while there are marriages based on other things ours is based on how we feel about each other and how we enjoy being together.
  19. trying to work out if this is an attempt at humour as april 1st has been and gone. While the health care isnt bad it is definitely not great, hospitals are a joke(go in of a night and see rats running along the corridors), the cleanliness of them is suspect at best and the waiting to see a dpctor can take many hours. Private hospitals are average but govt run ones leave a lot to be desired and the standards are well below hospitals in the west. People admitted into hospital need their families to take care of them, a job done by nurses in the west but here you need to sleep under their beds so they can have water & food, beds changed/made etc, nurses walk around trying to look good but do bugger all for the patient, the standards are definitely third world in all aspects.
  20. I used to buy them at Surat Thani Tops at Central
  21. same with dim sims, $20 for 60 in Australia but same thing here they want over $100, the price almost doubled over night when the seller realized people wanted them
  22. I bought a Logitech web cam from them, when I tried to register it I was told it was not genuine, none of the identifying numbers existed with Logitech. I did try contacting JIB about it but they would not answer me so I just took it that I had been sold a chinese knock off, wasnt a great deal of money so didnt follow it up after contacting Logitech & JIB. I had bought from JIB previously for home delivery and was very happy with their service so was surprised to find them selling non genuine parts and not getting back to me about it.
  23. I get 2 or 3 cuts a year, had long hair until around 15 years ago, even had a pony tail at one stage but here in Thailand I prefer it shorter so once it keeps getting in my eyes I get it cut by my hairdresser, he actually uses scissors and does a great job.
  24. dont know about pulling a rabbit out of a hat but the dems may pull a hare out of their ar^e
