  1. If you are not in the UK for more than 182 days a year you are no longer a UK resident so are supposed to surrender your UK licence. Everyone uses an accomodation address (sister, brother, son, friend etc.) but it is a criminal offence to do so both for you and your 'friend'. The UK is really tightening up on this and will increasingly be making cross checks with HMRC, electoral roll etc.
  2. The reason his brakes did not work was because when he squeezed his left hand nothing happened because he squeezed his phone. If it was a Honda Click he may have got used to not using the RH lever as the LH works both front and rear brakes. My hire bike has faulty brakes, whatever, I'll just keep riding it. Go fund me? On yer bike scooter
  3. I have recently heard the same view expressed by a barrister and an unconnected senior partner in a law firm that their new trainees are miles better than they were at their age. They are n't all addicted
  4. THB40million plus for something that costs less than THB10 million to build. Phuket's property bubble will burst eventually. Flat rooves are a terrible thing in this climate and always end up leaking.
  5. Bad wires are neither here nor there compared to the people installing them. I could write a book on the horrors found in the 4 houses I have rented here.
  6. Yes, correct, they could stop them tomorrow if they wanted to but they don't. They have and wear life jackets, well certainly the young fit guys with fresh military style haircuts. All it would take is a credible threat that the navy will blow them out of the water the minute they enter UK waters. They know exactly where they are, they have planes, drones and the occasional helicoptor scanning the channel so border control and the RNLI can pick them up leaving the £15,000 RIB to return to France for more. How many would need to be blown out of the water? 1? 2? Probably only 1 and rescuing none. We vacinate our children despite the risk that although very rare some will be damaged for life or die, it is a risk taken for the greater good. Same principle here. Mon 04NOV24 07:12
  7. I have lived here 15 years and always rent but when there is an issue or repair needed I do it myself, it is quicker and less stressful. The alternative is wait at home for hours before the repairer turns up (usually 2 or 3 for a one man job), watch horrified at the lack of even a rudimentary tool kit. They never stock anything so always have to disappear to buy whatever they need. Then when they have finished clean up after them, they always assume we have a maid. Then wait for the repair to fail and do it properly anyway. 'Electricians' are worse than plumbers and, of course, dangerous. RCD? What is that? Metal wall light needs an earth, Why? Ditto water pump. Why use a junction box when you can just twist the wires together and wrap it in crappy tape.
  8. In other news Michelle Obama is definitely not a man and nor is Brigitte Macron. Jean-Michel Trogneux absolutely did not take on his dead sister's identity. If you think otherwise your lying eyes must see some sort of resemblance in the photos posted by Oliver Holzerfilled when there is clearly none.
  9. Nutter or correct? His side https://www.richplanet.net/manchester.php
  10. Surprisingly what is not in the news is excess deaths, you can see the graphs here. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?time=2023-03-05..latest&country=~THA You can change the period using the buttons underneath You can change the country with the box top right. Something is killing more people than should be expected, is it Covid or something else? Singapore is worse. This is what should be in the news and investigated.
  11. 1970 Camaro Z28 450hp 1967 Camaro 500hp Not mine but I raced this 65 Mustang And this 65 FIA Falcon It had the least power but was fun to drive Built by a guy who really knew what he was doing, sadly no longer with us.
  12. The UK limit for driving is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The limit here in Thailand is 50 milligrams per 100millilitres of blood, 59 would be ok in the UK and he was certainly not drunk, maybe he just did not want to pay the on-the-spot fine.
