  1. exactly, Indians aren't the nationality of choice by Thais as it is so he is unlikely to last out a year.
  2. He wouldn't get far, they never do unless they have a red bull of course. The BiB seem to be doing a thorough job this time, see what can be done when daddy isn't rich.
  3. Of course there is going to be a pay off, it will be an expensive romp for the Brit, hospital bills (could be very expensive if the Aussie opts for Bangkok hospital, as he should do, and if his injuries are serious), compensation for the old man (get a lawyer and push the price up) a fine for GBH etc. If the perpetrator and victim are tourists there will be no court case but the Brit may be deported.
  4. At 40 my urologist in Germany said my prostate was slightly enlarged, now at 75 I am having the problem of urgency to urinate with weak flow several times a day, but never had to urinate at night. I now use Uroflow which has solved the problem.
  5. according to Mayo clinic it can also cause high grade prostate cancer
  6. Tactics, it's like a trade union asking for 15% wage rises then settling for 8%, start big and the compromise sum will be larger.
  7. From the looks of them they were fine upstanding primitives, who carries a gun to wedding.?
  8. It isn't worth much in America either, two dead after a shooting there would be a non event.
  9. NHS treatment is locality based not subscription based, you have to reside in the UK to be eligible for treatment. As an expat you are off the radar as far as any help from government or any other organisation is concerned, that should be recognized before leaving the UK.
  10. I think that covers illness, not accidents.
  11. and you can't use diesel motors if you are submerged. 58 m is pathetic, you can't hide a sub in such shallow water, even WW2 technology would find you with no trouble.
  12. I don't think so, the ones most punchable who deserve it the most will be the most protected and you would get jail time as well as being bankrupted.
  13. It's called look after number one economics, sod the flag waving, it's the same way I feel.
  14. and whatever was in it looks as if its been burnt.
  15. I doubt that, Thais are apathetic in general regarding politics (Bangkok is perhaps an exception) I asked my wife who she will vote for, she said, nobody, they are all corrupt and it will never change, who cares if there is a coup it wont affect my daily life, in fact a coup would be good for us as the Baht would fall and my pension would be worth more.
  16. I wouldn't say that, a long time ago I witnessed a pretty lady boy making out with a Dutchman, after a bit of groping the Dutchman recoiled in horror and pushed him away, Lady boy;- ''Yes OK I am a man like you but........ Dutchman;- ''No! you are not a man like me, frick off''
  17. I object to the word woman as if it is a reality, wishful thinking doesn't transform reality, when I drive my Honda I wish it was a Porsche but at the end of the day it's still a Honda.
  18. Yes, woke modern nonsense although when the meat and veg are gone one can't really use the word 'boy', woman impersonator might be better.
  19. Did any luggage go missing? otherwise not a problem.
  20. She seems to be bra-less and ready for some interesting philosophical conversation.
  21. Why indeed, I fear we shall never know ????
  22. No, it seems to have reverted back to its origins in non tourist areas. In my village family groups including those who had traveled back home from Bangkok, gathered outside their houses feasting and the young revered the old by pouring water over their hands. Since the death of my wife's father I am now the oldest and so had to endure about 20 members of the wife's family sitting me on a raised chair and after standing in line they poured water into my cupped hands while reciting Buddhist prayers and since this was an honour I couldn't be so churlish and refuse to go to the temple for the Buddhist service, I would have preferred some water fights, in fact the next day I drove to the market town gleefully expecting mayhem but it was just a normal day.
  23. In my village it's banned and several others as well, even in the market town 17 km away there was nothing going on.
