OK

I'm jealous.

That's a nice head of skin. All it needs is a spit and polish in the mornings. You're in fashion. Quiffs went out ages ago.

Back in those days cars were a lot less reliable and there were very few of them on the road so it's quite likely true to say a motorcycle combination was the safest thing on the road, but not any more.

 

By the way. Like the 1960's blow wave.

Cheeky boy.😀

Fortunately, we can, both, properly pronounce the word conduminium.

 

Or condominium even.

I owned one for three years and I'd say they are the most unsafe vehicle on the road. I hated it and was really glad to be rid of it.

Geeeze!

I cannot BELIEVE I said pants, when I know that I should have said trousers for the British-sentence example!

Such negligence....

 

Never mind. Just let your hair down, with gay abandon. Gay. As in the original meaning. 😀

That is an interesting example of how American and British have become so different from each other.  If you go back several hundred years the past tense in English was -en rather than -ed.  While English speakers adopted -ed for most words, a few retained the older -en form.  In the 1600s, when my English ancestors moved from England to the Plymouth Bay Colony (now Massachusetts) all English speakers used gotten as the past tense of got.  Sometime in the past 400 years the British dropped the -en while the Americans kept the original version of that word.

 

 

The same reason they still use miles and Fahrenheit.

Don't worry. It will all go wobbly just like the cannabis and 'five yaba pills' debacles. There is a lack of forward thinking and planning in those that make decisions for the country.

A man was tragically killed on a cassava farm in the Thai province of Udon Thani, sparking a police search for the person behind this crime. The police are looking into various reasons for this attack, including personal or romantic disagreements.

 

The victim, Pichit Wongwai, a 60 year old farmer, was alone on his tractor some distance from his home when he was approached by an unidentified person. Following a short conversation, Pichit was shot in the chest at close range.

 

After the incident was reported, local law enforcement officials and medics arrived at the scene. They found Pichit's body in his field, surrounded by horrified members of his community.

 

Piecing together information from locals, police discovered that Pichit had left his house early in the morning to prepare his land for planting. He had an axe with him, hinting at possible knowledge of a lurking threat.

 

The authorities are now considering the likelihood of the killer being someone Pichit knew. They believe the murder might have been the result of a misunderstanding or a romantic dispute. Meanwhile, they're doubling down on their efforts to capture the criminal and ensure justice is done.

 

The unusual violent act has made the locals worry about their safety. The police are asking anyone with information that could help solve this crime to come forward. They guarantee that every piece of information will be thoroughly followed up to ensure that Pichit and his family receive the justice they deserve.

My wife suffered acute kidney problems in the 1970s before it became a prescription drug back in the UK.

I was referring to codeine.

Does this possibly mean a relaxing of the rules for hospitals using morphine, codeine or Oxycodone as pain relievers? It's my understanding they were very hesitant to use them even in the most legit cases.

0600 every day a go for a short walk. A local dog used to have a go at me every morning when I neared its house. Barking and doing what it is supposed to do to alert the owner? After a few stare downs and a crouch down as if i was getting ready to throw a stone, it would back off, but then I changed tactics. I carried a crust of bread in my pocket and fed it to the dog when it came at me.. It ate the bread then amazingly, it ripped my leg to pieces. No. Seriously. After a couple of times doing this it still barks, but does not attempt to attack me. Maybe it's thinking 'if I'm not careful he is going to feed me that crap again.' 🙂

Maybe the answer is to slip her a Bt100 note so she can tuck it into where ever, for herself.

While offering this advice, I must confess that the last, and maybe the first lady's drink I bought was way back in 1988. The bars I frequented are what I call men's bars. Not Girly, or Boys Bars, but a place where you could get a descent conversation and humour, without the hassle. The Shamrock Bar in Pattaya is a good example. Being a bit long in the tooth now, driving there is a bit/very off putting, I'm sad to say.

I don't believe it. I doubt the cops would put the accused in the front seat. More likely the driver cocked up and crashed. Casting the blame on the accused.

Don’t worry, your fears are unfounded.

 

Give me a reason.

We are getting to the stage where as an expat, if I returned to the UK and walked around certain districts wearing a bowler hat I would have to careful about being arrested for being an openly white Englishman. What a sad and sorry place my home country has become. If I had remained in the country would my presence stopped the degeneration? Of course not. It's the elected politicians who have allowed and encouraged it. I shall never return. So sad.

That's a kind of discrimination. Probably this person doesn't want to be addressed as Ladyboy but just as a part of a divers community. 

? Would you like it if someone would address you as gay??? (In case you are)? I doubt it!

 

I wonder if 'divers' was a spelling mistake? Muff diving is not to be sneezed at. But I thought, generally to be practiced by the straight community. 😉
