  1. Is that the one up near the Ram. They have/had a very good supermarket there where I always do my shopping.
  2. I only know what I have read here, but I find his story quite plausible. I don't care whether he did or didn't do it (I'm in a bad mood because my neighbour wants to know how to cut onions). I personally haven't the faintest idea when I last went to the ATM, I know it was recently. I personally think that the charming Mum did it.
  3. If it is thought that the body had been there for some weeks, one wonders why Mum or the family didn't look for him.
  4. Well I live in France and I don't get FREE health benefits. I have to pay 76 euros per month to a Mutuelle to make sure that when I have anything medical I don't have to hand out anything. Although when I got to doctor, I do have to pay -but it is refunded.
  5. I read that the jury went on the side of JD because AH did NOT donate the 7 million divorce settlement as she kept saying shewould do.
  6. In Chiang Mai I often use the crossing near the foot bridge. There are lights there. I'm more scared of bikers than the cars. They just don't stop. Another thing I have noticed, As soon as the person who pushed the button has crossed they go.....they don't seem to realise that whilst the light is red they have to stop. If you come whilst it is red and you are not the one to push the button....too bad for you. When I was a kid in Oz, some nearly 80 years ago, every term in primary school, a policeman came to teach us road drill plus how to behave in public buses, trains and trams.
  7. Iremember reading quite a few years ago that she was a bit touched. Anyway Johnny was in a Newcastle pub when the verdict came out. He is having a ball travelling round with Beck's band. There didn't seem to be much sympathy or interest by the locals. A picture showed a small 'crowd'. One man said, Jeff Beck was fabulous,, the only thing that spoilt the concert was the talentless Mr. Depp. Whilst I think that she made up most of it, I would bet that Johnny wouldn't be easy to live with. Drink and drugs!I notice here in France that there were no comments from Vanesssa Paradis or his two kids.
  8. Reminds me of something I saw recently. A man was standing on a bridge and of course begging. There was a baker's shop nearby and a lady bought him a baguette. As soon as she was out of sight, he threw it into the river. He wanted MONEY for his beer.
  9. On most airlines, when there is turbulence, the sign goes up immediately to 'please fasten seat belts'. I would think that he didn't have his belt on and above all, didn't take any notice of the sign.
  10. Well they are in the airports and the people are Brits, people who have come from NZ, middle east, US. Anyway even if it is fake, it does show what could happen. Or rather what DOES happen. And I can assure you they don't seem to help anyone.
  11. I watch an Aus. TV programme called Target (at least in France it's called that). It's about Customs and Immigration at all the Aus. airports. They seem to have a special eye on Thai and Malay students. Immigration ring up the lodging, the education place everything. One story.....the Thai girl had missed several classes, hadn't turned for the weekly exam, hadn't been accepted for the next term, and so on. You must keep sweet withe education place. On the plane back to LOS the same day.
  12. Is this the one that's a fair way out of town and where Immigration used to be?
  13. Just thinking about it.......I'm sure that my Mum was a darling to her daughter's and son's partners. Can't say the same for my father. He thought that his DIL was wonderful and hadnothing good to say for his SIL.
  14. I have always heard these remarks,but I guess I was lucky! Never had any IL family. My husband had 2 children, but I only ever met one of them and it seemed to pass off OK. Mind you we lived on the other side of the world........that helps.
  15. No,I don't. But I think she is quite attractive. I wonder how many of you fellows pass the 'not much to look at' remark.
  16. Thanks for the tip. I live in France and have the very same problem.
