I am very fond of sea grown mussels and welcome this enterprise. How does the taste of fresh water shellfish compare with those from the sea?

Wow I learn something everyday birds can fly at 4-5 thousand feet or 1,219 meters as stated in the full story.
The record is a skein of Canada geese seen over the Hebrides by an Islandair Boeing 727 at 28,000ft. This was during the 1960s.

Why was this not done years ago? Are firefighters expendable?

I think I make this request every year as New Year approaches.
I like to savour a bottle of good malt around New Year. Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie are readily available but a bit bland for my taste. I prefer an Island malt (Talisker. Ardbeg, etc.)
Would any member who spots such a whisky please reply to this post with details. Thank you all.

Back in 1978, I was walking down a main street in Malacca when I heard a voice crying behind me "Sir, Sir, I can help you. Come to my shop". A middle aged Chinaman rushed down the street behind me and took me by the arm and started to guide me back along the street. Curiosity took me and I followed him back about 100 metre, up 2 flights of stairs and into a studio type room. He explained that he had seen me out of his window passing by and thought that I was in grave need of his services.
He was a Wigmaker.

10 minutes ago, bbko said:What brand of beer was it? 555
Could it be there was some food residue on the bottle/glass?
Ironically it was Tiger and he is a ginger tabby,-a tiger lookalike.

This evening after a meal outside in the garden, I was enjoying a beer and had just topped it up to the brim, when one of our cats, a large, robust but very friendly 2 year old tom jumped up, firstly on to my knee and then on to the table. He sniffed around the remains of the meal, which being spicy he declined, then sniffed my beer. I did not react immediately believing that he would turn his nose up at it. To my astonishment, he proceeded to lap it up for about a minute and then apparently satisfied, jumped back down,this time on to Sister-in laws knee and demanded a petting. He always did prefer women.
I have never seen a cat drink beer before, has any other member seen this behavior?

Probably a waste of time. She is a dumb woman who will know nothing. The real culprits will be a Chinese gang over the border in Laos.

Make an appointment to go there. Download the form and complete it before you go. Copy of every page of your passport to be submitted with the form, your passport is handed back to you, return with it when notified that the replacement is available for collection.
P.S. If your wife is dual national, copies of both passports must be declared and submitted, name in passports must be the same.
Just confirm your PS. My wife has her Thai Passport in her Thai name, but her UK one in mine.

A few small roaches have appeared in the kitchen. Wife and Sister-in-law being Buddhist refuse to let me kill them, they must be caught and dumped outside.
I have tried to deter them by washing floors and the like with dilute Dettol, then vinegar and finally bleach. All have failed.
Recommend a non-lethal chemical which will keep them away.

I had that happen to me many years ago on a train to Butterworth, en route to Singapore. I had just finished a meal in the restaurant carriage, and a man with an American accent sat down opposite me and started a conversation. He drank three large beers in quick succession and as we drew into Had Yai station excused himself to urinate. As the train pulled out again I saw him on the platform waving to me.

Two suggestions for out of town visits:- Wat Umong and Sankampaeng Hot Spring.

Making a vice illegal only drives it underground. This results in further abuses. Legalizing and strict enforcement of laws reduces crime considerably.
As an aside, every Friday night in a room behind our village shop a card school convenes and is ignored by all.

Air purifier/oxygen concentrator
in Health and Medicine
Posted
My wife is recovering in hospital from a kidney infection followed by pneumonia. She is ready to go home but the hospital is reluctant to release her until I obtain an oxygen concentrator and install it in her bedroom. I consider this an overkill but I am not a medical expert.
What is the opinion of members with medical knowledge?
