Swallow your pride, and put up with it. Never, ever make somebody you don't know lose face. 99 times out of 100, maybe 999 out of 1000, you will get away with it.

Once in a while you will irritate somebody who might strike out at you. It is just not worth the risk. Smile, make eye contact with others who are waiting, and enjoy your life without taking any unnecessary risks.

Spineless.

Seems they follow the American method and award a ribbon for crossing the road.

Seems to me there was only one real chance to compare the two armies. The British had the biggest navy in the world and the biggest army in the world. They were the military force to be reckoned with. The Brits were the best. They were the best equipped and the best trained. I believe those Americans crossed the road at Yorktown in 1781 and sent the Brits back home. That was the legion of Merit for crossing the road at Yorktown with the beating the bumbling British Oak Leaf Cluster.

I think that answers your question RabC about the ribbon for crossing the road.

Wonder where the "Americans" originated from ?

Looking at many of their surnames...England and Scotland i.e. "Brits"

sorry should be ''disinfectant''

want something for toilet,garbage bin,drains.looked in makro can only see dettol,which is too expensive. lots of thai stuff, but thai with me could only come with pellets.

would like something like jeyes/pine please

Thinking how I might recover the Baht11,000 I left in a bag at Lotus this week, I now have the answer. Do Not Get CTH

Bertrand Russell one of the World's foremost Logicians and Philosophers (Histoy of Western Philosophy), once opened a school where the children had total control of what they did.

Greatest mistake of his life he admitted

Why does this font change mid stream ?

Parachute Wings on the breast of every policeman as well.!

Originally as far as I know this practice was for WWII SAS who deserved VC's but didn't get one.

I served with one guy.

General Petraeus apparently had the greatest array of medals in US Army, including an allegedly fraudulent Combat Infantry one

He is now more in(famous) for his sexual pecadilloes.

I understand that base camp military would beg for a lift to a combat area to qualify for medals, return next day without hearing a shot fired.

Me, I got one green and mauve for 18 months in the Malayan Jungles.

A workmate who was RN during WWII told me that his ship/s turned down the offer of awards from USN,after Fleet actions, as they were so numerous and widely awarded as to be meaningless.

No licence No cover This is world wide

Common sense should tell you a non licenced rider is a NO NO same with young kid

Yes, but in the case a vehicle stolen and ridden by an unlicensed driver, could an insurance cover any damages in an accident ?

If the driver "flees the scene" how are the circumstances interpreted ?

It seems common here for evey Somchai, Nok and Lek, within a "pod" to treat motorcycles as interchangeable property and permission to use is taken for granted.

In his popular book titled A Random Walk Down Wall Street, which has used a picture of a dart sticking in the stock listings on its cover in each edition since 1985, Malkiel [1996, p. 24] states “taken to its logical extreme, the random walk theory means that a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a “dartboard portfolio” that would do just as well as one carefully selected by the experts.”

Just a bit of personal info, I have been on and off weight reduction for years, and believe I know most of the pitfalls,

What I find interesting is that when I decide to lose weight at about 93kg, should be 82kg, I have no problem at all in disdaining food that I could not do without for a few hours, constantly snacking. I don't even feel hungry.Don't even fancy my now tasty cabbage soup.

My eventual reward is looking pointedly at the multitudes of fatties, and I feel so smug.

Then for no apparent reason I will be back to pigging out and feeling and looking like a loser.

For all the fatties with their genetic ? excuses, I always point out, "There were no fat inmates in the concentration camps"

I lost a few thousand with the same issue, and finding out why was a long process.

I found out that there is a closely guarded "secret" number to switch on and off your connection to the internet, which I never was aware of or wanted.

I spent a long time on many occasions at AIS Central World, to no avail,while the staff said they would have to check my calls record etc,

I told them that I never used the phone at all after topping up..many times

Eventually the very surly staff a Nokia told me, but it was like pulling teeth.

It is ON by default (a Nokia cellphone). From memory *129*2# on ? and *129*1# off ?

You then get a message sometimes in thai to switch the phone on and off again.

I only use that phone now for talk/sms

Bought another with a very cheap package that allows constant 'net connection, but seems I have to personally buy each time

no top up ?

Oh! for the days of my quill pen and inkpot and tuppeny stamp,

happiness is....

I really appreciate all the suggestions. Problem is I do not recognise most of the suggestions (herbs, types of mushrooms), in the shops.

Also Black Thai pepper/s, is that ground pepper or those baby fist size red and green things, or purply/black ?

Motorbikes ?? Is a pushbike out of the question ?

I guess so as I am the only one taking a child to school on a pushbike, no doubt until he realises HE is the only one.

Is there no "Inspector Rostnikov" in your bulding.?

I don't understand the question?

All dentists can take care of childrens teeth...no need for a 'specialist'

Another ignoramus.

With all the impending wars, endemics, asteroid collisions, global warming and the Yellowstone Supervolcano, due to erupt soon. It may be time for a pet peeve. Who can be the most trivial ?

Mine is "Kids" instead of "Children"

My mum (drilled Spitfire piston rings all the war years), bought me a pushbike for passing the 11+. My father sold it.

When I was 18 I broke his jaw and hospitalised him, proudest moment of my life.

When the ambulance arrived the neighbours were certain it was for my mother.

.

I recently bought a new Honda Zoomer, in my name. I was surprised to hear from the salesgirl, that it was also comprehensively insured for up to 80% of it's price, with no questions on where/how it was kept or who was driving it.

I do not use it, and wonder if it is insured if the rider has no driving licence at the time of an accident, not me, but I have my suspicions.

While at the agents an American man was buying his second new one, the earlier one having been stolen, he said he was still waiting 2 months after his claim.

Any comments please.?

Undoubtedly many courses on investing would be valuable.

What would also be worth looking at is the series "American Greed"

There are many other links.

Another effort to lose weight, (including gym), I have found that a 90% diet of cabbage soup is effective. I do add garlic, tomatoes, carrots, but it still tastes like dishwater.

I know salt would be great, but that's a no-no. Pepper acts a a strong diuretic.

So any ideas please ? I don't like hot "phet" stuff. Tried adding "soups" in plastic bags from Lotus, but it is a long journey.

WE have such a good dentist when living in bkk, we still make the trip there. child is 4 yo. have had the whole gamut from anathesia to replacement teeth and "papoose" restraint fillings.

pm me if you think it worth while.

Thank you for the response. I believe the tv rules allow you to give the name of the dentist and information which would be helpful to all tv members.

Tel 026401120 dental phyathai 1, near phyathai BTS bkk

BPH, but with a kid that young why bother?

The epitome of ignorance.

I pick up an infant on my push bike, and can travel about 25 metres among stationary cars waiting to pick up their children, in a tiny soi. I am not actually pedalling but scooting along on the space between the cars and a fence. I was waved at and directed to go in the opposite direction. I did notice a Right Turn Only sign at the exit from the school. and as I do need the exercise did not make an issue out of it.

Incidentally the officer and his mount were straight out of CHIPS.
