  1. Samsung are way worse, my Xaomi POCO M3 always had 'dead boot' problems, but it only cost 2,500bht. my expensive Samsung Tab 10" and 7" all failed within 3 years. As did my Samsung fridge, Samsung 55" LCD, Samsung Air-con. I'll never buy another Samsung product.
  2. No, there are 2 main reasons to buy new phones .......... 1. it's the banking apps that make your old phone obsolete (Android version too old). 2. or the battery fails. If you buy a 3-4 year old phone it will soon become useless. Plenty of new phones to be had in the 3,000-4,000bht range. I just purchased a Redmi 12c (4/64) for 3,200bht, works fine so far.
  3. HLE healthy life expectancy is 60 in the UK. DFLE disability free life expectancy is 63. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/bulletins/healthstatelifeexpectanciesuk/2018to2020#:~:text=Download this chart-,Disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) at birth reduced by,2017 and 2018 to 2020&text=Among the constituent countries of,and Scotland (Figure 5).
  4. Accept death when it comes. At 67 I've already lived longer than my parents and most of my friends and relatives. I know average age of death is supposedly 77 but where are all these old folk hiding. ?
  5. Yep, I'm lazy ........ Thai street food and restaurants everywhere. A woman in our homes to cook Thai food for us. But why don't we make the effort to cook our own cultures food more? Today I did Cottage Pie, 0.5Kg minced pork, an onion, 0.75Kg of potato and some gravy powder. Brown the mince in a saucepan with a bit of oil, add water to cover + 3 teaspoons of gravy powder (or a couple of stock cubes from 7-11) + 1 chopped onion. Add in salt, pepper, chopped garlic if you can be bothered and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, put in a saucepan an cover with water, boil for 5 mins. Ladle the cooked mince into any style dish that you can put in an oven, not too wet! Pick out the cooked potato chunks, put in a bowl with a bit of milk, mash with a fork, cover up the mince. Put in an oven (Otto is fine) for around 15 mins at 150c, until the top browns. Then eat. 20mins of work costs about 100bht, enough for 3-4 portions.
  6. Night Market street (top of Loi Kroh) .... plenty of stalls selling knives.
  7. This whole story, even if true, is a non-event. 17yo boy sends naughty selfies over phone .............. so what? About as serious as double parking (if true).
  8. Get up early in the morning and go for a 2km walk, or a swim. Do it every day and you'll soon feel much better.
  9. You're completely right ....... fear your government! Will they make me fill out life certificates for all those missing years or will I get away with that?
  10. Just got a Redmi 12c from Lazada for 3,300bht (4/64gb) Seems good enough.
  11. My Brit wife lived off me for 25 years ................ My Brit mom lived off my Brit dad for 30 years. So I'd say it's entirely normal for women to live off men throughout the history of mankind. It's women being provided with fake jobs and given money by governments that is abnormal.
  12. I couldn't afford housing in the UK after divorce lost me my home. 70 quid a week for a bedsit Vs 200 pounds a month for a 3 bedroom detached house. Didn't even think of wokes or trannys.
  13. I married my Thai woman 2 weeks after meeting her in a bar, at that time she had no English at all. Then she spoiled it by learning, apart from that it's been great.
  14. Would point out Christians are not cohesive, Catholics being in the majority (to which you dissent). I suspect Muslims outnumber any one Christian sect. You must have a lot of time on your hands, I don't read past the first two lines.
  15. My former Brit wife made all my choices. I played no part in her decisions, or her 'sex life choices'. I married again in Thailand because I wanted children. If my choices were about sex, I'd be single and living in Pattaya.
  16. Nobody ever asked me, so please don't say 'we'. But if you did ask me, nuclear, oil, gas and coal are the most sensible fuels to use in temperate climates. Volkswagen and Fanta ....... two Nazi created companies whose products I will never use.
  17. Looks more like a ditch than a cliff to me. Brake failure on flat, straight road ...... no way!
  18. I've had 5 of my own and 1 step-daughter. Best of all the kids is my step-daughter. If I were in a situation where I could save only one, it would be her.
