The intervention wasn't that prompt.

I totally agree with bradiston,look at the houses and cars he's got on a policeman's salary. This is the man that stopped the annual income letter from consulates to support retirement visas thus making life more difficult for many law abiding retirees.

One would think that considering his apparent wealth he would do something about his face.

True democracy is a myth, unless of course you have managed to see such a strange creature.

Get a stationary rower, fantastic training. 15 min every second day will give great results

results for what? I am lucky with my genes, never ever had any health problems despite my smoking, everybody else I know in my age group or younger suffers from some age related problem or other, knees, back aches, arthritis etc while desperately clinging on to their 'youth' with diets and exercise, I continually surprise myself, waiting for aches and pains that never come, I am still stronger than my 16 year old son.

Thanks for your support. I must have had this mental problem a long time, and it's getting worse.

 

Wife and I are both runners but not full marathons, most events begin 5-6am or after sunset, most recent 30 Mar we traveled to Trat for an 8.30pm night run. Still warm, mid 30s. We have two early morning plus one night run coming up.

 

Monday cycled 108km up to Rayong 4hr 9min 10am start, temp varied 40-44C. Just keep moving, fluid intake was 4.4 litres. Not dead just yet.

 

 

I'm just jealous, if I do anything at all I walk 2 or 3 km around the lake here, at 76 running seems to me to be an exaggeration. I'm actually quite fit and slim and will climb on the roof to clear rain gutters, cut the grass etc, play with grand kids but there has to be a reason for my activities, the lure of a computer and air con are hard to resist. My brother is a keep fit fanatic at 70, mountain bike and sailing, 6 months ago he broke his neck biking but survived, my father did a lot of sailing and heavy gardening, his third heart attack killed him. At my age I see no point in being the fittest corpse in the crematorium. One has to enjoy what one does, if running is your thing go for it, my earlier post was tongue in cheek, no offense intended. 

A dance misstep.......

Here are two valuable articles addressing issues concerning hydration and electrolyte balance in athletes training or competing in high-heat environments.

 

As I think I mentioned, my Soy Sauce solution is quite good for replacing what is most often lost through sweating, i.e. sodium.

 

Still, there is much more to the story than this.

For example, for races or exercise lasting less than 30 minutes, hydration during the exercise period will probably not have much effect during this short time period.

In addition, plain tap water, bottled in gallon jugs, to carry aboard one's gig, is good enough...UNLESS....one is rowing for 4 or 5 hours, as I was wont to do, in the rivers behind and below Naples FL.  (If, as I found out, you plan to do any continuous and strenuous workout, such as rowing for 5 hours, from 11:00AM to 4:00PM, on the hottest days that South FL can dish out, then....yes....you might need to resort to replacing lost electrolytes, or face resultant consequences.  But, this eventuality is also discussed in these two articles.  I enjoy strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day, unless the temps get above 37.  I enjoy the feeling of sweat pouring off me, from my head to my thighs, ...don't know why.  Two good articles here, though.)

https://www.nyrr.org/run/photos-and-stories/2019/should-i-take-salt-during-a-marathon#:~:text=When running long distances%2C like,but to a lesser extent).

 

 

 

So yes...

Watch out for hyponatremia, as I should have, if you plan to row 5 hours in the noon-day sun in South FL....

 

 

 

Anyone running a marathon in this heat has a mental problem and deserves a heatstroke.

The last one dropped in anger stopped a war.

You forget that at that time there was only one country with nuclear weapons. These days its use is a threshold that nobody should even consider crossing, once that taboo is broken Pandora's box is opened.

Thais really like their mafias... foreign or local

No they don't but they are sensible enough to realize where strength lies. It's easy enough as a keyboard warrior to be brave and principled until you yourself are threatened with financial ruin or violence if you don't tow the line, it's called accommodation, accepting the reality of things as they are. Who here wouldn't dump his principles for the chance of making some huge profit......lots of oligarchs in London owning mansions in Knightsbridge bought with suspicious money, the authorities don't look too closely. How long did it take the justice system to nail the Kray twins in the UK, it was difficult because police and influential figures were on the take. Mocking others is easy if you don't look to close to home.

They the Russians were the same in WW2 raping, pillaging, drinking all along the way, they have no morals.  

Whereas the Germans and the allies never engaged in such activities. Every nation has its historical dark side, especially the UK and the US. It is a mistake to judge a whole nation on its leaders, ordinary people just want to get on with their lives but governments, outside interference, ideology, religions and the greed of the elite make that impossible, especially with the media with vested interests is standing on the sidelines cheering on their benefactors.

do you think it is rational behavior for a public servant to tell a foreigner to ‘go home?’

 

bob.

The court case has nothing to do with his visa. Anutin has the power to revoke his visa and is basically telling Urs how it is, 'You can appeal but it will fall on deaf ears, stop wasting my time and go home'. Anutin wants his brownie points from the press. When one reaches a certain level in any government one is no longer a public servant but a lord and commander, sometimes all it takes is a traffic cops uniform.

Disgusting, he probably has a mind like his body, I do hope he gets found and thrown out.

it’s very strange behavior and is making me nervous about cleaning my house in the future.

 

am I allowed to wash my own clothes or do I need to get the mrs to do that as well?

 

where does this madness end?

 

bob.

It's BS. I painted the rice barn in my back garden 5 years ago when coincidentally 4 IO officers came round checking visas, they were impressed with my work, my missus told them that I had been on the roof that morning cleaning the rain gutters, one of the officers (20 years younger than me) said he could use me at his house as he wasn't fit enough for that type of work. However this is Isaan, things seem to be more relaxed here and nobody gives a $hit what I do, especially in a farming village. During the harvest I am also in the fields helping out, nobody has ever said a word. 

The itch is the same everywhere, king or beggar, monk or politician.
