As my old Mum used to say, 'It's not the cough that carries you off. It's the coffin they carry you off in'! Go see the Doctor.

We smoke and get a taste of what we expect heaven to be

I and my grandson are just getting over colds which included sore throats and coughing. He took medicine provided by the local International chemists. I took no medicine as usual. As I keep trying to explain to my wife, if you take medicine the cold will be gone in a fortnight, if you don't, it will be gone in two weeks. But one thing which stopped the coughing at night was an old remedy. Approx three/four table spoons lemon/lime juice- if you have neither then use vinegar as I do, a good slug of honey and then hot water. I hope you get well soon and get a nights sleep.

The timber decking on my veranda is well past its best and I'm thinking of replacing it with Conwood style decking. Has anyone had experience with this? I am concerned about water and heat abortion.

some one stands up on a plane a shouts ""Stop flying! Do I have to look up the law? Everyone, get out! You will find out why!"

and the flight is not cancelled and a bomb squad does not go over ever inch of the plane?

in the states she would have been tackled and handcuffed so fast it would make your head spin.

many times people are stopped from trying to open the door while inflight. good thing they were on the ground.

But then not all countries are paranoid

I would have to say the flight staff didn't handle the situation very well. We trained El Al flight staff and Sky Marshalls in the late 90's and what I can say is, this incident would have been dealt with in a much more secure and less confrontational way

Explain. It didn't appear very confrontational to me. It seemed more persuasive.

All credit to to the cabin crew who seemed to handle the situation calmly and efficiently. Was the woman taken off before take off?.

Thanks Cooked.

Then Jeb should take his sorry ass back to Mexico, where he wished he was from...

Trump is a loose cannon, but he does have a point when it comes to illegal immigration in the US...

I thought the Caucasians were the original illegal immigrants in the USA

Has anyone had experience of removing tree stumps with chemicals? If so,what chemicals and how to use them. I have a small bottle of Karzai Alonzo? (the translation from Thai) A Chemikaset product. The instructions in English leave a lot to be desired. Maybe someone out there can advise me?

Paws for thought. It only came to light when the accused were spotted licking their own backsides and purring with pleasure.

We haven't heard much about the vertical take off aircraft assigned to the aircraft carrier lately. The last time I heard was a few years ago when they had only two left, the remainder had been cannibalized for spares.

Closed for ten days? I find that's a bit hard to swallow.

I feel for the officer and his family but it does emphasize the public's opinion of policemen when they are found sleeping on the job. How do they know that he was sleeping?Was he parked up with his lights on I wonder? No excuse for the crash, but as usual, many questions remain unanswered. RIP

Another branch of the nut Bush

Only in his urine? Are they taking the p**s?

Maybe the mafia has heard about their criminal ancestry .

Bon Voyage, Vagabond!!!

Every part of life is a new adventure, and it's good to shake things up now and again for a fresh and different perspective -- just like some of us did when we made the original decision to move from the U.S. to Thailand.

After living here for a lot of years, I'd imagine moving back would certainly take some getting used to.

I mentioned this anecdote before here... But last Christmas, I went back to visit with my remaining family, and rented a car upon arrival. The rental car guy handed me a key fob with the buttons for locking and unlocking the doors, but no ignition key. So I was fumbling around for a bit, thinking maybe he'd left the ignition key in the car separately, or under the visor, or something like that... And after rooting around, couldn't find anything.

So a bit sheepishly, I called the rental guy back over and said, "Hey, where's the ignition key?" And his answer was, "It doesn't need a key. You just get in and turn the starter, and that's all!" Wow... I felt pretty embarrassed. That's what happens when you have forsaken driving pretty much and only been taking BTS, MRT and taxis for the past XX years.

I went back in1996. Haven't been back since and don't get the urge to. Whilst there I rented a car. Got half way across London and had to stop at a care hire shop to get them to turn my intermittent windscreen wipers off. Good luck to you and the family, Sunshine!

The police are investigating after receiving a tip off. I hope she gets better quickly.

Yep, there is truth in much of what he says. The cartels run the country now and their sole aim is to sell as many drugs as possible to Americans. Yeah, there is no excuse for the stupid people who buy these drugs, but it's virtually impossible for law enforcement to stop the flow of drugs into the US.

And the illegal immigrant issue has been very contentious for many, many years. The problem is enough Mexicans have made it into the US over the years and been given amnesty so they are now a political powerhouse and a huge influence on US politics. They help shape favorable laws to be even more lenient on illegals. Eventually they will have enough influence to just open the flood gates and let them all in.

I heard a rumour that The Native American Indians have started complaining about illegal immigrants who came into their country a few hundred years.

Once again, a Brit blaming the authorities for allowing a person to do something of their own freewill. Sad for the family, but are we becoming a nation expecting the authorities to run or lives for us? There is too much intrusion by Big Brother now. And I'm a Brit.

Who really cares, when a Thai teacher of English on the DLTV teaches the pupils how to say Good Afternoon. 'Goo Daft Noo'.

Why all the sarcasm? This is serious and nothing to be sniffed at

I had good service doing my Retirement visa this week at Jomtien. The staff went through my paperwork which took about twenty minutes and told me to come back the next day for my visa and passport after 14.00 and to take my photo? Next day, in and out in five minutes. Pleasant and good service.
