  1. The police should pull their heads up so we can see their faces. This business of covering the face in photos has to stop!

    There should be no pictures. Innocent until proven guilty!

    Several foreigners are wanted on outstanding warrants. That means they have committed an offense sufficient to convince the foreign judiciaries that they were to be arrested. Of course there should be pictures, as it is part of the "transparency" process. We can see that they have not been beaten or tortured.

    A sock filled with sand doesn't show much damage!!

  2. This image used to be on the Ministry of Culture website (until the 2011 Songkran episode):

    The offending image was changed after the MoC condemned topless revellers during the 2011 celebration and a flurry of people pointed out that the MoC had an image of topless girls on their website !

    When my kids have grown up and left home I'm going to hang this in my bedroom if the wife is okay with it smile.png

    Why if the wife is OK with it? Is she a member of the Thai Moral Authority? or feeling inadequate? As for the kids, I am sure that they have seen more pornography on the internet than you have. I find this very beautiful and would love to hang it on my wall.thumbsup.gif

  3. It looks like a hornets nest. I had the same in my garden. If it doesn't bother you that much then just leave it. Don't chase them and don't try to burn the nest, etc. You can live in harmony with them. After 1 year they are gone and you can remove the nest without danger and keep it in your house as a beautiful trophy etc, or sell it. Especially Thai people like to b

    Sorry. but is not a hornets nest. It is a bees swarm and most probably disperse in a short while. Don't disturb them as they ill sting, as I found out while cutting vegetation underneath their swarm. I found them quit docile otherwise. A hornets nest is like a paper ball shaped construction and the hornets enter and exit through small openings. Again, I have had several of these in my garden and if left alone (keep children away from the nest as there is a temptation to throw stones at it) they are fairly docile.

  4. Absolutely disgusting and an abdication of social responsibility to it's citizens by a truly crap British Government.

    At least us Brits get a vote next month and a good time NOT to vote bloody Tory !!! Support the peoples' sensible centre party Lib Dems for a change as high time we gave them a real chance to Govern to see what they are really made of IMHO, At the very least Labour are the lesser of the two real main party evils as at least they care more about ordinary people.

    I really feel sorry for all of us Brit expats here living outside the Bangkok catchment area. Once again truly DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!

    Why do you feel sorry for me? Because I am living on a frozen pension? Yeah, well. I suppose I feel sorry for me.

  5. I still maintain that the Southern problem will not and cannot be solved at the point of a gun. Give the South a degree of autonomy while still under Thailand's laws of the land. When one so called insurgent is killed, it produces countless sympathizers who would not even have thought about getting involved previously. My country, the UK, learnt these lessons years ago. But, I must say that I sometimes think that with Britain's involvement in various uprisings around the world, we may have forgotten those lessons.

  6. Its not trendy to wear socks with sandals.

    You are 50/60/70 do you even remember what trendy means ?

    Get with the times granddad.

    I'm more trendy than you will ever be, son.

    All my clothes are designer labels.

    Even my socks are Calvin Klein.

    Even my wife is a hi-so, half Chinese half Thai that speaks fluent Lao.

    And her father was the proud owner of 4 buffaloes.........yes 4 of them.

    Beat that, son......................

    WOW!! Really impressed!coffee1.gif

  7. Only if I want to look like a nerd! I sometimes admit to wearing a knotted handkerchief on my bonce if I have forgotten my hat, but as a Brit, that is excusable. A tradition handed down from when sitting on the beach became popular. And of course Wimbledon tennis and cricket, if you were lucky enough to catch the sun that is?coffee1.gif

  8. A lot of people don't reaise the dangers of darts, I was playing in a pub in Liverpool and it was my mates turn to throw,just then one of the sisters of mercy came in collecting for the local convent and stood behind my friend, his first dart hit a treble twenty, second dart done the same,the third hit the wire and went up in the air and embedded itself right in the sisters head, as she collapsed on the floor sombody shouted out, one nun dead and eighty...

    This is the last dart match i saw in Liverpool,enjoyed by the lads.

    Typical Scouse joke.thumbsup.gif

  9. Is not the ban on more than five people gathering together not in place now. I would think that this is a good test for our good General to show the nation that all must follow the law and that no one, saffron robe or not, is exempt. Show the people that you mean business.

  10. Good initiative......hope they carry it on.

    Just a small request from me please;

    Can you ask the female toilet attendants not to come and watch me when I'm urinating?

    I know....I'm asking for a lot.........but may be one day...................

    That doesn't worry me. What does is the male attendant massaging the back of my neck and shoulders, stopping me in full flow.!coffee1.gif

  11. I cannot comment on the health values of Thai bread. But why not make your own, even without a bread making machine. Do it by hand as I have been doing for years. Very therapeutic and greatly satisfying to see, and end up with a crusty loaf that you made with your own two hands. I cut my loaves in half, putting half in the freezer until I require it. You do need an oven of course. My old oven is well past its 'best before date'. It still produces the goods even though I have to wedge the door shut with a length of bamboo. I come from an era when you didn't throw anything away and get a new one. You repaired it. Good luck.
