  1. When I learned to ride a motorbike, many years ago in UK, it was not possible to ride with less than two hands. One for throttle and brake, one for clutch. These automatic contraptions have a lot to answer for!
  2. Interesting that the infra-red picture makes him look naked! except the tattoos, which look like he has socks on.
  3. When I saw the headline, I thought "Shall I bother to read this drivel?" Against my better judgement I wasted several precious minutes on it. It's not just drivel, it's rather more worthless than bovine excrement. How can so many asinine acronyms be used in one feature? I thought the "Less for more" was however particularly apt.
  4. Try Bactocel ointment, which is povidone iodine, locally produced, or Betadine ointment, more difficult to find and more expensive. (use ointment NOT cream). Use daily until visible signs are gone, and for six weeks after! It is a recurrent condition, so watch carefully and restart treatment as soon as it appears. Hopefully after a year or so it will be gone. No doctors etc. involved, and cheap, harmless medicament. PS works for Athletes Foot too!
  5. Yes, but does it meet green standards concerning emission control, environmental pollution, exploitation of the underprivileged, and energy efficiency? ELM. Joking, by the way, for the less intelligent among us.
  6. Q. How can you tell a politician is telling a lie? A. You can see his lips move. I looked very carefully at this picture, for several minutes. Not once did I see his lips move. Therefore, he must be telling the truth!
  7. He might have owned an island, but that does not confer sovereignty over it. It is still subject to the laws of the country which holds such sovereignty.
  8. Simple arithmetic. Count the number of cops. Subtract 0. There's your answer.
  9. For the last ten years at least and last one February this year for March renewal, I have used fill and sign on Adobe Acrobat, for myself and wife, never any problem or questions asked. At Jomtien. I have always found them helpful and friendly, and by local standards surprisingly efficient. I have however also watched them tear people into shreds. In all such cases, inappropriate dress, behaviour, etc. by the applicant are painfully obvious. I doubt much has changed since my last visit. Remember the old saw:- "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck......its a duck!" If still in doubt substitute "i" for "u" throughout, except in "quacks".
  10. I don't get it. Who do I have to hug?:-- My travel agent? The check-in person? The departure security agent(s)? The departure Immigration officer? The airline Cabin Staff? The Pilot? The other passengers? The baggage handlers wreckers? The Immigration stampers-in? The Customs officers? The taxi rank agents mafia Hotel reception? All of the above? ........before I can eat, fly and/or travel! Oh, I get it now, nothing has changed.
  11. A load of male bovine excrement. Move on, nothing to see here.
  12. A rack of baggies at the checkout in Big C. Is that discreet enough?
  13. Ok, I understand about under- 20s not allowed. But Government officials? Are they too poor, too stupid, too gullible or too corrupt to be allowed to gamble? And, how do they qualify for a permit..... competitive examination, nepotism/cronyism, or brown envelope? Answers on a lottery ticket, please... preferably with winning numbers.

  16. So long as I have lived in Thailand, and for many years before, Standard uniform for traffic cops included mask and raybans, making them menacing and anonymous.
  17. The world has gone completely mad. We're doomed.......
  18. You will encouter one, hopefully you won't know it at the time!
  19. Last cremation I went to, the mourners were asked for 100 baht each for charcoal. Strange that, it was a gas-fired kiln. And by the way, the plural of "crematorium" is "crematoria".
  20. Perhaps a bit of hyperbole in the headline? To swallow a tourist whole, 3m x 25 cm x 10 cm doesn't quite hack it, one feels. Throw in a bike as well and it's very indigestible.
  21. I hope the writer wears a suitable bulletproof waistcoat. He will need it.
  22. No, you tattoo your QR code on her (choose one):- a) forehead b) left t1t c) right t1t d) @rs€ e) w00fie f) 0th€r
