    'They seek him here. They seek him there. They seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That elusive library book stealer from Camberwell.

    Not a mention Tosh or Son?

    Buy her a new amulet from the Wat. And make sure the monk doing the blessing tells her it will protect her on Rama 2 road.😉

    A bit over the top methinks. While not demeaning the seriousness of the construction accidents on this road, there is a greater chance of having a traffic accident and more chance of it by increasing the miles to be travelled. Have a safe journey. I am using that route to Hua Hin tomorrow.

    In forty years here, I've never been asked to take my shoes off before entering a restaurant. The barbers and some shops, yes. But a simple request to do so would not give me cause to get out of my cot. Go with the flow. But wear a shirt! Who wants to sit near a sweaty body when eating? Even 'wife beaters.' On the beach, OK. In an eating place, no.

    Meanwhile there is a shirtless individual lounging on the cushions with his sweaty body.

    'm reading a 1994 Ruth Rendell book and this paragraph still and always rings true. 'At the time he was aware that she had that great gift, on which so many politicians have founded their success, of being able to say nothing at length and in a flowing sequence of polysyllabic, fashionable words, of talking meaningless nonsense in fine mellifluous phrases with absolute self-confidence.' Spot on, Madam. R.I.P.

    I've noticed his syrup of fig (wig) is looking a bit frayed around the edges and a bit floppy across his bonse. Is it getting ready to call it a day? It can't cover up for him forever. He is looking more and more like an over-the-hill drag queen.😄

    My license was cancelled when I reached 90. Just as well, the mince pies are not what they used to be. My wife drives me now, bless her. A heart attack is just one beat away.😉

    My electricity has just been resumed after I lost it for the second time in a week. I've been warned that the water supply in the district will be knocked off tomorrow. We're doomed! We're doomed!" The sky is falling in.😉

    They can be such bitches.😀

    The frog under the coconut shell springs to mind.

    If I remember correctly, On their rise to fame, one of the Beatles made the same comment.😀

    Not quite true. If you return to the UK, you can claim a full pension even for a few weeks. On your return to Thailand, it goes back to the original. I've written letters to MPs. Nick Clegg replied, "I have raised this in the House and it is not on the agenda." That was way before the influx of illegal immigrants who have contributed nothing and the money spent on them.

    She should have whacked it with her shoe and knocked some sense into him. Another quality tourist abusing a Thai cockroach.😉

    Nonsense. Name calling is indefensible. But seems to be acceptable in some countries political arena now. Disagreement and putting opposing opinions is not bickering, or confined to the aged.
  19. Gandtee
    A stupid remark. The man was objecting to all foreigners living here, and some supporting Thai families being lumped in with the tossers that cause problems. He made a fair and reasonable point.

    Tttttoo ttttrue.🙂

    Point taken. I was objecting to a comment 'Zelensky goofing around.'

    Mine was 20 minutes yesterday. My wife collected my passport today. All ticketyboo.

    Difficult for whom? The applicant for having to make another journey for a document that has been thoroughly checked and just needs a stamp? Or for the Immigration officers? Years ago, I could apply in the morning and collect my passport in the afternoon. Now at ninety-one, I could do without the extra journey.

    'Zelensky goofs around'? I would suggest that he is trying to protect his country from an invader that is getting support from Trump, who never served in the military for his country (bone spurs?) and his traitorous administration. Who would give up their country to an invader? Treacherous Trump is aligning himself with Putin, who is playing him like a puppet. Not long before he gets his comeuppance, methinks. The sooner the better.
