  1. I have even seen (and I do not expect that I am alone in this), a policeman riding with no helmet while appearing to be writing something on his phone, so not paying any attention to the traffic around him. Very sadly, Darwin's Law of Natural Selection may ultimately apply in all these cases.
  2. Only 500 billion baht? The taxi drivers won't be happy.
  3. Hey Mr Toon, could it be that the real reason for your behaviour is because you are a weirdo?
  4. Nothing to see here. Move along. No victim gets justice in the UK anyway. The UK criminal justice system is just that - criminal - where murderers are sent to prison for as little as 8½ years.
  5. Why don't they ask Tony? He must surely be an expert on prison food - oh hang on....
  6. Pattaya Police Raid Poker Gambling Ring, Arrest 9 Foreign Players I'll bet they didn't see that coming.
  7. I expect that it's due to all that prison food. 🤣🤣🤣
  8. Checked in baggage is also subject to x-ray examination.
  9. They could be aiming to take the Brits' "bad behaviour crown", and seem to be on a bit of a roll..... 😉
  10. A hole has opened up on Thanon Nakhon Chai Si. Bangkok authorities are looking into it.
  11. So Sweden is unlike Thailand where they drive on either side of the road! I recall a close call as a pedestrian crossing Beach Road Pattaya, which is (supposedly) one way only (heading south), as I focused solely on the oncoming southbound traffic and was almost hit by a bike heading north. Agreed. It is hard to ride a big bike truly safely in LOS. That would certainly be the case for me (with over 50 years of riding experience) as it is so very hard to ride a big bike slowly and never give in to the temptation to ride more quickly. The issue is not the rider's lack of skill, but the complete lack of discipline of other road users. Sooner or later something will happen totally unforeseen which, at 50 kph can most likely be avoided/survived, but at 200 kph is a shortcut to "RIP".
  12. Agreed. And the £22 billion "black hole" claimed by Reeves and the £22 billion previously unannounced capital investment is, of course, pure coincidence.
  13. A conwoman in the Thai parliament? In good company then! Beat me to it!
  14. Black Lags Matter?
  15. "Brit busted in Pattaya after Cannabis-fuelled Escape Attempt" So it all happened in slow motion?
  16. Poor lady. It's not just Zebra crossings that are dangerous - at light controlled crossings many Thai drivers just ignore the red lights. The only safe way to cross the road in Thailand is in a tank.
  17. Brown envelope went astray?
  18. Will this be with an option to switch to speedboat racing when it rains?
  19. 40 years ago the UN was described in an episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" thus: “The UN is the accepted forum for the expression of international hatred.” Nothing changes it seems.
  20. Illegal modifications! I'm shocked, SHOCKED....
  21. How do you get by? These days every bank seems to insist on having your mobile telephone number.
  22. Anyone intentionally not carrying their phone is someone who does not want to be found.
