Ex drinker by any chance?

 

There are studies that say virtually everything is bad for you. I just read a new study saying moderate drinking was good for you and none drinkers on average died earlier than moderate drinkers....something to do with alcohol reducing stress. 

There is ample evidence that eating, drinking, and breathing are addictive, and there is no cure. Once addicted, you will die if you stop any or all of them.

There is also ample evidence that all are slow poisons, and will eventually kill you.

The only question is how to manage your addictions to prolong your life and minimize the unpleasant side effects.

Full marks to the Guy for trying!

Make it a capital offense to be #1 in the queue in any lane except the extreme left.

For now, it's very good considering what's happening in the world but I would hate the feeling of being "stuck" here for life if I needed to leave temporarily for any reason. There are many reasons that long term expats might want to or really NEED to leave temporarily. 

I have an urgent need to visit one of KL, Singapore, or HK. Before Covid I could do Singapore and back in a day, no problem.

Because I can not, my British issued European PPL is expired and no way to revalidate it for the foreseeable future. To get a Thai PPL would cost nearly 1m baht, no concessions for experience!

It is unbelievable how the minds of these Dinosaurs actually function.

If you are ordering wine online what difference does the time matter if it is being delivered a day later. Or would that mean that you could not take delivery before 5 p.m.

Nearly every Mom and Pop shop sells drink at any time of the day, or on any day, regardless of the law.

This comes at a time when the economy is in free fall, unemployment is rising alarmingly, yet what do they do, introduce a law that may put certain people out of business, lose tax on sales, and add a few hundred more to the unemployment list.

Admittedly, it is probably a small percentage of people overall, but the crass archaic stupidity of these laws is mind boggling.

Dinosaurs = brain the size of a walnut. Please don't insult the intelligence of dinosaurs. DLM! 

Spot the AI.

Well mate, the past is past, and you are certainly doing something for yourself.

My only question regarding this story, is if he is paralyzed from the chest down, he will be unable to  use the toilet himself, so something not 100% correct with this story.

 

Now i will sit back and await the experts on here to tell me i am wrong, and dont know what i am talking about, should be very interesting.

Colin, is that why you are poty2018?

Sorry, sick humour! Couldn't resist

...so the water under the bridge carried the bodies of all he killed..really!.. how can the OP just skip over the fact he murdered innocent people?

Define innocent. There's a good few I know whom I would put on his list.... no chance of "judicial" justice, if that phrasing works.

I am sure you could add some names!

At 5k a pop, he'd soon be rich.

I would have thought death preferable to Thai prison.

I have CDs which are over 25 years old still working perfectly, and hard drives, now redundant, which have been in my tower for 10 years or so. What are you doing with yours?

The CDs develop some kind of mould which eats the surface. Catch it early and they recover, but if left too long it seems to eat through and destroy the reflective layer.

Hard disks, they start developing bad sectors. Probably due to power surges.

Just store photos and files to a flash drive ..... sorted.

I have a box full of failed flash drives, of various sorts. No digital storage can be trusted. 

Never mind the backward compatability issues!

Even my collection of classical music on commercial cds is rotting in the climate here! I won't even mention the box of dead hard disk drives that would not revive.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to find out whether ones' details are amongst the data breached?

I have recently gone through this procedure, at a private clinic in Pattaya that was recommended to me. In short, the tooth supporting a crown cracked and broke off. The original crown was done in UK about 20 years ago.

The choices offered were,

extraction and an implant, about 50,000

root treatment and post crown, about 30,000

extraction and a bridge, price not discussed as I rejected that idea! I already have a mouthfull, it took two years to become unaware of them!

The dentist was insistent that the implant was the way to go, but I know a few people who have had problems with them, and I know way too much about medical matters to go down that road!

I had the post crown, not too painfully, and final bill was 28,000. First class job, modern and clean clinic, efficient and competent staff, but a bit impersonal.

There is no doubt that the primary sales pitch was, implant, implant, implant, and the only reading matter in English in the waiting room was a heap of implant manufacturers' brochures, with all the technical data! and there was disappointment that I did not bite, if you will forgive the pun! I would still recommend this dentist, though. PM if you want details.

Given the subject, I think your tag line on the bottom is at least as inappropriate as any trolls you may have removed!

Same here, on the beach South of Pattaya. The wind changed from onshore to offshore about a fortnight (14 days, for the yanks etc.,) ago, I have been coughing, sneezing, and eye-watering ever since.

Sic!

I had the same problem on my 12year old Vigo. It became more and more noticeable, and I convinced myself it was transmission whine. Took it to the dealers, after a test drove they said nothing wrong!

My Bridgestones were getting a bit bald, and I changed them for Maxxis. Problem went away!

One would have thought that the body would have been held in place with securing straps and belts, and that the stretchers would have brakes applied. These would have stopped the body from dislodging even with the doors open at 60klm per hour. Simple risk management would have prevented an avoidable incident.

 

They don't use seat belts when they are alive, why would they bother when they're dead?

BTW, there was a leg showing, looked rather pale. Was it a farang? That would explain a lot, stupid foreigners can't even shut the door properly!
