Patanawet

I predict that soon a technicality will be found, sufficient to declare a non-trial and save the face of the RTP.

Makes you wonder about the veracity of the DNA samples the RTP are basing their Erawan identifications on!

My pension from the UK was late arriving at my SCB account. The pensions people in England explained that there were delays due to an American bank holiday (they use Citibank for the international transfers).

There has to be a winning lottery number associated with this

This was commented upon a couple of posts ago, Little Sir Echo, or don't you read other people's posts?

Naughty people out late enjoying themselves.

Lock them up and through away the key.

disgraceful people.

Cops of Pattaya

The people enjoying themselves weren't naughty as they were of legal age and drug free (according to the report). It's the venue owners who are "naughty" for being unlicensed.

Look up the word IRONY.

Give me 5 minutes and he will be speaking any language I wish?

WOW, my hero ----- NOT. Cretin comment waste of bandwidth.

If he is 'denying any involvement in the bombing' ---- in what language is he denying it?

Wouldn't that give a clue to his nationality?

Good, Fine them. They look ridiculous anyway.

Stupid comment. Waste of bandwidth.

There's a decent place between Sois 31 and 33.

Yes, I know this shop.

For years I used them to copy and laminate my passport full size and credit card size.

The most recent time, they refused to do it in colour saying that they'd got into trouble with immigration before.

You csccan be in big trouble found drinking

No you can't. The person who sold it to you can.

2am / 3am does it matter ?

There's an intelligent comment! Waste of bandwidth.

The truck driver was in no way in the wrong ,he was overtaking another vehicle.

Really? He was taking an awful long time to do it. It looks to me as if he was in the fast lane, simply driving faster than traffic in the left hand lane.

Are trucks permitted to hog the fast lane?

Even so it was criminally irresponsible driving by the van driver.

The P.M. said "where I will get the money from. I only have rice at warehouses. ”

Is he planning to pay the taxi fare increases himself for us

From one grumpy old man to another -

I used to be a grumpy old man bit now I'm a "GOVE" (sorry, that'll only make sense to U.K. readers).

Woops 'but' not 'bit'.

Americans claim that they drop the 'h' when pronouncing herb because it is a French word. Surely the French would pronounce it 'airb'.

How do Americans pronounce the name Herb (Herbert)?

I'm about to argue against myself when I point out that in written English, a word beginning with H should be preceded with 'an' and not 'a'. For example written as 'an hotel' but pronounced 'an otel'.

I can't agree more with the member who abhors the use of 'so' to begin a sentence. I hate it.

Don't get me onto the misuse of apostrophes!

What is the frequency of collection in Bangkok?

Every other day in my area.

Came home about 03:00 the other night and the truck was at my condo block and the guys on the back of the truck were frantically ripping the bags open to see what they could salvage for themselves.

I don't know what they thought when they came accross my cat poo bag.

Better than U.K. where i believe you have to separate your rubbish into different bins (and are fined if you do it wrongly) and they are collected every two weeks or so!

2. What you are saying, no real reason to switch to the NEW INBOX.

I'm not sure.

I'm using it the way it's worked for years.

I know that they, recently, added some new boxes and functions but haven't explored them as I'm satisfied with things the way are. (That says a lot about me!).

If I go to SENT MAIL in G mail it brings up all my outgoing mail by date and the first comumn is the name of the recipient.

If I want to look for everything to a certain recipient, I search in SENT MAIL.

Or did you mean something else?

Your speeds outside Thailand do seem extremely slow and, as others have said, a VPN probably will not improve that.

A VPN is to provide anonymity or to fool the internet into thinking you are in a different country.

If you want to try a VPN, try ZENMATE -- free for PCs. It certainly gives me enough speed to stream BBC iPlayer.

You can set it so that it looks as if you are in US, UK, Hong Kong and some others.

Looking on Thai TV just now (Friday morning), the roads are jammed already.

The only place in Bangkok that I know which sells really good bread which is good value for money is Danbake, located in Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, in that little soi behind the Villa Market.

I know this shop and must try it.

I always wondered if Farmhouse is really wholemeal/wholewheat.

But how about, once in a while, going unhealthy and try Tops Sourdough bread? Just like the white bread of my childhood in

London.

And to make it even more unhealthy, lashings of butter.

Which supermarket do they have there? Villa?

The supermarket is a clone of their Gourmet Market in Siam Paragon. The supermarket in Emporium has been remodeled to be another clone (including trolleys and baskets painted gold).

I would often shop in Emporium supermarket in preference to Villa as many items were cheaper.

PS as an afterthought, it is difficult to find ATMs. Actually they are at the banks section clustered on the third floor (5th level to Americans and some others).

Also annoying, all of the ATMs that were scattered around Emporium have been removed and hidden behind the wine shop next to the supermarket.

All in all it's just a big new shiny shopping mall ---- and as such, I can never find the exit!
