  1. What's needed is a low powered vehicle (electric bike perhaps) to replace the motorbike. People like the fact that they don't have to rely on public transport especially if a short journey (like around town). When they introduced mopeds to Britain years ago they were restricted to under 50cc and you could ride them on a car license.
  2. I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles and never once had a single vehicle accident.
  3. Ok Where do you live?
  4. Help. My PC is running slow. The trouble is I am absolutely useless at trying to follow instructions. So often I read "do this or do that" and i look at thee screen and have no idea what they mean. I started to browse different sites and read that this program will do this or that. But what I really need to be told is there one program that even a 4 year old could follow. Like hit button "B" and after that everything is automatic.. I know that's a lot to ask for. I know there are some computer experts out there. So what I'm asking for is any recommendations and advice. Thank you
  5. At least he wasn't caught with his hand in the Cookie Jar.
  6. I drove an ambulance in the 70s. We were told that we could drive through Red Lights, go the wrong way up a One Way Street etc, but any accident would be your fault and you would be charged.
  7. If I was driving a vehicle that was carrying drugs and weapons I would drive sensibly and also made sure I had enough rest.
  8. As an ex fireman I thought that, but Thai fireman are flameproof.
  9. I don't know about it being harmless. According to WHO figures in 2019 207,500 people died from Measles.
  10. I need to get my Marriage Certificate translated and notarized for my pension provider. No hurry but the wife will need it when I'm dead so she gets a percentage of my pension. So I need a name and address of a suitable company obviously the cheaper the better as long as it's done properly. The only dealing I've had with a lawyer here many years ago didn't end well and it turned out he wasn't qualified. So I don't wont to make the same mistake again. With the number of expats in Pattaya there must be some of you who can recommend a descent company or individual. Thanks
  11. I don't think I've ever come across a cart with a Lithium batter. They are normally standard car batteries. Some years ago a fire at the Navy Course in Plutaluang wiped out loads of carts in there parking /recharging area. and they were definitely standard batteries.
  12. An idiot, just like that politician years ago who said the smog over Chang Mai was caused by Korean BBQ s.
  13. But you still need to renew your passport, and if your in your 70's or 80's you might be looking at an easier way to do it.

    Tony's Gym

    Tony has reopened a gym on 3rd Road. Does anyone know if I can use my Lifetime Membership Card which I've had for 15years. I was surprized that I still had it. I thought I threw it away when the original gym shut down.
  15. Looking at the colour of the water coming out of the pipe I'm not sure I want it anyway.
  16. During the last couple of weeks I have been amazed at the number of people running red lights.. The other day I saw two Baht Buses drive through 2 red lights on pedestrian crossings. Nothing unusual in that you might think but there were people on the crossing at the time.
  17. I don't know if Tony is a crook (I suspect he is) but compared to the lot we have now he is a saint.
  18. I have only shown them my electricity bill. That's always been enough when I go to Jomtien for my certificate. Theoretically it's free but I'll always paid 300 Baht.
  19. AKA Almost never-ending story. Staring The Thepprasit Road Works Everything because they have dug up the roads, pavements, curb and drains. Everywhere because they have managed to have roadworks from one end of Thepprasit on both sides. All at once because they haven't managed to complete one section of the road or pavement before starting another section. We are coming up to 3 years since this roadworks started. I doubt if the is one section of the road completed. Parts of the North side of the road is complete up to where it gets to the curb. But the pavement is another matter. It is a disgrace and our wonderful Mayor doesn't do anything.
  20. Why should they. They have enough problems getting around than wondering if the main entrance to Walking Street will restrict them. The solution is a police force that upholds the law. Not to restrict anyone with legal access. And as for the view about whining to much.. You should walk in somebodies shoes before writing such rubbish.
  21. Coming from Jomtien I pay 10 Baht. If I go past Pattaya Klang I pay 20. It seems fair to me.
  22. Bit confused there . Patong is a long way away and on the other side of the gulf.
  23. I agree with you. I much prefer the written word. I miss Roosters written comments at the weekend.
  24. I had this happen to me. No fault of mine. A friend made a mistake. It took them weeks to unfreeze it.
