  1. All part of the charm, like the waiter saying "OK, that was the tip but where is the back hander"
  2. Not on my watch.....what?.....oh ,Well I was probably in Paris at the time that happened, I'll erm, look into it.
  3. Be fair, at least they weren't playing bridge with a group of old expats.
  4. https://www.qrcode-tiger.com/qr-code-generator-for-banks
  5. After a 6 week wait I have finally received my new bank card from Germany only to be told it wont work on my tan generator, I need a new chip tan qr generator (which my bank doesn't supply outside of Europe). I have a friend in Germany who will buy one from the banks website (very modern, you can only buy online these days) and send it to me by DHL. My question, has anybody here used this generator with a WISE transfer, bank to bank and how does it differ from the old generator method, is a new WISE set up required etc.
  6. Like telling a cat to stop hunting mice.
  7. Swooped no less, the BIB must be outfitted with superman capes.
  8. Everyone wants an STI on the firms time.
  9. Yes, a passport belongs to the state not to you, it is a means of identification which you have to pay for.
  10. Yes, a grey hoodie has nowhere near the status of a red bull.
  11. Yes, their PR department is embarrassingly obvious.
  12. Correct, I foresee a lot of malfunctioning body cams in the future.
  13. I did my 90 day report this morning and asked where all the male colleagues were, there were only 4 women officers working. I was told that they have all been dispersed throughout different parts of Thailand. I said nothing but my wife whispered,"corruption punishment"
  14. The police involved in the sting must be amused, feigning indignation while their own hands are deep in the trough. Tut, tut, tut, oooh what! tut, tut, tut, snigger, tut, tut.
  15. It's pretty disgusting, basically robbing kids. Let us not get too precious about corruption in Thailand though, it is world wide but Thais don't hide it very well. My father worked in Covent Garden ( a huge fruit and vegetable wholesale market in London) as a salesman before he started his own business, he said the biggest cash flow in the market (hundreds of companies) was corruption money. After he started his own business dealing in the market he was personally paying out corruption money, it was impossible to do business otherwise, he was taking with the left hand and paying out with the right hand. When filling out his tax forms he said his accountants biggest worry was hiding the 'black money' my father used to pay out the corruption money. Some of his customers (one was a lord, owner of the Lyons conglomerate) wanted monthly cheques not cash, it all had to be washed for the tax office. This was 50 years ago, I doubt much has changed.
  16. One would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at the death of Tiny Tim.
  17. He doesn't need care and never did. My Father-in-law (78) skin and bones, eats his breakfast then my wife and I carry him to a mat on the lawn where he falls asleep, he awakens midday to drink his quota of lau kao and eat dinner then is carried back to his mat until the evening when he is woken up to eat again before being carried to bed. My wife and MIL have to bathe him every day. He is now deaf and speaks little. We have all been expecting his death for the last 5 years but he wont go, it will be a relief for all, especially for him.
