Thai-Brit apprehended for drug-induced car rampage in Pattaya
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
More likely he is Thai with a British father but anything with the flavour of foreigner will do. -
Im getting a few looks wearing my new Trump baseball hat around Pats.
soalbundy replied to advancebooking's topic in Pattaya
I would look condescendingly at anyone over the age of 16 who wears any kind of baseball cap. -

Thai Man on the Run After Terrorizing Chumphon Residents
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Seems like a lot of dangerous incidents had to happen before the police slowly decided to act. -
I'm reminded of an incident over 50 years ago in England, I was waiting in a long queue at a bus stop in winter, it was very cold. A motorbike flipped over just as it was level with the bus stop, the engine was still roaring as it lay on the road. Everybody rushed over to the rider who wasn't badly hurt and helped him away from the road to the bus stop except for one man who stayed with the motorbike, he picked it up from its prone position, sat on the bike and rode away. I collapsed with laughter at such audacity.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
soalbundy replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I agree, the British government, no matter which party, has never overly concerned themselves much with the people they are supposed to represent, any progress made since the industrial revolution has been due to some very brave men and women who fought for basic rights under the threat of imprisonment or worse. British pensions are not a right, they are classed as a benefit. Luckily I spent most of my working life in Germany and get a good (tax free) state pension and company pension with increases paid every year no matter where I live in the world after retiring at the age of 58. I do get a British pension of 37 pounds a week. I haven't been to the UK for 54 years, they can keep their 'island home'. -
UN Report Warns Of Asia's Increasing Climate Crisis

Actually it was California, Florida insurance is merely getting prohibitively expensive 2x-3x the amount normally paid. I don't live there so I don't care, just something I saw on Youtube. -
Why the hush money case against Donald Trump is on shaky ground
soalbundy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Pecker's testimony is more damning, anyway the hush money in itself isn't on trial instead the book keeping and falsifying records, paying campaign money for 'catch and kill', Pecker, Cohen and Trump. -

Sorry it's California but Florida home insurance is doubling and tripling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBHbUsttwa8 -

In Florida many house insurances are not being renewed, a big problem if you have mortgage, no insurance, no mortgage. -

A vulva infection, where was the laser pointing? Try using a razor next time. -

Russian Businessman Arrested for Alleged Assault, Illegal Weapons
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Ah, keep the humming wheels of industry rolling. Nato probably inadvertently caused the war, 'keep poking the bear and see what happens' but I doubt they could have stopped it, wars are easy to start but not so easy to stop. -

Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C

I haven't got the air con on and I've been reading Winnie the Pooh in Thai to my step grandchildren, it gives one some strange ideas. -

I don't do anything like that, it would upset the dogs and I've always regarded the movements as a little ridiculous, especially if the wife starts moving as well. -
Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
We would like to think so but perhaps May is having second thoughts about appearing when it's too hot, which is why it's called May, it may arrive or it may not, it may show up for a bit and then disappear giving April some extra days, it's what Mays do.....how like them! -

I think I feel colder at 3 am because that is when the body is at its weakest, many natural deaths and heart attacks occur around this time. -

I read that every one degree below 25C increases the electricity use by 10%. 24C is OK, in fact I wake up at 3 in the morning because I feel too cold and turn the air con off.
