Amazes me....sooo many people 'live here a long time' or are 'fluent in Thai'. You know who you are.

Getting back on topic.

Doesn't sound as if you're an experienced m/c rider, & you're thinking about  3 hour drive, whilst being ' asleep'?

Doubtful or naive?

Thank you Diznax, really appreciate it.

Will we ever know how many people died in Chernobyl?

I remember the 'Daily Fail' saying 20,000....

I can never understand this excessive emotion when a family member dies (with the exception of a small child) Death belongs to life, it is natural and inevitable. Many of us are old ourselves it can hardly come as a surprise when a sibling or parent dies. My mother died recently in Australia at 93, shooting across a busy road on her mobility scooter, as my sister said when she informed me of her death,"She died as lived, without a care in the world and without ever having looked at the highway code."

Good for you Saul.

Doesn't sound like Ticks:

Bleeding Gums?

What colour is the blood- bright red or brownish?

Does the blood flow out of her mouth, or does it come slowly?

Any cuts in her mouth that you can see?

What tablets were given to her?

Can she eat, is it painful?

That's a big one Andrew.....

Just reading the latest news on here about this poor man, & I do feel compassionate towards him.

His Mum died, then his sister has cancer, that would I'm sure mess up a lot of people's mind.

When my mum died, I understood profound grief, & was able to cope: Just.

Really hope the charges are dropped, receives proper Psychiatric help, & recovers.

Mentally ill, on drugs, who knows? The next scary thing is, he will probably keep his driving license...

Think it's a prerequisite....

Do you think he was really a danger to the public? He wasn't attacking anyone, just ranting.

Yes, I do.

Where would you feel safer?

On a street with snakes & a guy with a knife, who most probably high?

Or not?

There was potential danger to the public, coupled with grossly abnormal behaviour.

Because they aren't American and have other ways of ending a situation without killing someone. That takes more skill than pointing a gun and firing at someone, a skill that many country's police forces have. Even the Thai police, it seems. The result was that no-one was injured or killed here, including an obviously mentally disturbed individual who did nothing more than hold up traffic for a while.

And wave a large knife around, and do something ?( unspeakable) with a Snake...

Yea, nothing.

That said, perhaps he's a Snake Handling Pastor...?

Had a Wildtrak for just 2 years now; great vehicle, comfortable, & yesterday had to use the brakes hard, as someone pulled out in front of me. Stopped quickly with no drama.

(quite unusual here )

Mitzi, mate's got one, very uncomfortable on Issan back roads, & I don't think it has any 'presence'.

The expiry date is always stamped onto the card, if he had cared to look. Secondly, most ATMs here can be used without a card ( You do need the account details though)

Can they? How do you do that then?

Why didn't they offer the poor critter in the photo a spliff instead of needling him up .. I mean he'll be on the skag next once hypo's get involved .. 

& then on to be a 'working mouse' - poor bugger.

Ok, seriously, the comment by Impulse hits the nail on the head.

The cost of some Cancer drugs is stupendously high, & for Thailand to perhaps find a compound that makes a difference, would be marvellous.

Indeed, using Cannabinoids for Chemo sickness is supposed to be effective. Rather than taking yet another tablet - probably produced by the same Pharmaceutical company.

Horrible!

No it doesn't Justin.

I could, but that wouldn't address the carelessness of 7-11 employees. Forgetfulness can be forgiven but not if it's laziness. Sort of like the dilemma of walking on sidewalks with all oncoming pedestrians glued to smart phone. Yes, I'm able to navigate around them but is that right. Why should all the responsibility of walking safely rest on my shoulders. This the world we live in.  

Totally with you there blud; put a few 'stripes' on their backs.

That'll learn 'em.
