I see social unrest everywhere ..............

As for Agoda and Booking.com ..... I've uninstalled the apps from my phone as it doesn't appear I will be able to leave Thailand then re-enter in the near future without buying needless expensive insurance I don't want.

That's right!

What woman ever does that?

Now the smog has been washed out of the air, I'm getting a lot more, even though the sky isn't blue (midday today).

Allegedly put us on the moon. Although to my mind NASA is now keeping humanity out of space.

I've never had any of your problems. Although I don't like the sweet Asian Pizza so I make my own, it's not hard and costs a fraction of the price. And the alcohol is really cheap. Guess it's not a suitable country for faddy western eaters. Although saying that, Durian Riders Vegan cycling community seem to do OK there. So maybe it's just you.

Was 16c in Chiang Mai this morning after nearly 24hrs of torrential rain. Dry and overcast now ........ brrrrrrrrrr

My meter readers never cared, and it was running backwards for 2 years.

If he's dead, why would he care? Worrying about what happens to a woman after you're dead is 100% Beta male behaviour. Ever wondered why men buy life insurance and women don't?

Odd you think that because I was one of the people censoring the media in the west (UK division).

I'm just repeating the definition of the word. If you want to assign blame, I would suggest God was responsible.

Capable of reproduction, the definition works for both males and females.

I also use 'females' and 'ladies' ..... it's just words, they all mean the same thing.

More likely it's your local land office being difficult. Maybe they're looking for a bribe.

Started building a 48V 100Ah battery using 16 second hand Sinopoly 100AH batteries. 8 arrived slightly swollen, 8 to come. Found a teak box on Lazada that just about fits them for 170bht. Decided to use washers and 2.5mm wire loops in place of bus bars to save money, 3 loops = 16A x 6 = 96A. Enough room in the box to put the Daly BMS in with the batteries.

The first 8 (754bht each inc) are second hand (Lazada) and ALL slightly swollen. The next 8 (690bht each inc) are second hand (Facebook) ..... still to arrive. All Sinopoly 100Ah green. Already wired and boxed the first 8, waiting on the top row and the Daly BMS. Given up buying copper bars, 3 loops of 2.5mm (16A x 6= 96A) + a washer are much cheaper

I also have a minor bump today ......... Torrential rain all night and still going ........ battery ran out at 8am, so on grid now. Only half the cells for my new 48V 100AH battery have arrived, so nothing I can do but wait.

And it's still pouring down at 8:30am at MaeJo/SanSai, surprised there isn't any flooding. Bit of thunder and lightning in the distance. Never seen it like this before in dry season. At least it'll wash the smog away.

Except nobody has ever been taken to court for claiming to reside in the UK.

UK, normally you pay for an hour and they're trying to finish the job in 30 minutes. So a friend has told me. I remember the good old days in Thailand, where you paid for short-time, and they decided they liked your room, air-con and fridge so much more than their bug infested hovel, that they stayed all night, then went to breakfast with you next morning.

If I knew then what I know now .......... I'd have worked and been single in the UK, no dating, no cohabiting, no marrying. But I would have had plenty of 'beach and temple' holidays in Asia. I would have ended up happier, wealthier and with a million pound UK home.

I know loads of scumbags and really nice guys. The scumbags get loads of female action, even though they beat and cheat on them. The really nice guys are totally invisible to women ............. even though they have steady jobs, nice houses, savings and pensions. It's totally inexplicable!

Any reason given why the first autopsy didn't notice the 22 wounds on her legs? Bribed or incompetent? Either way he should lose his job.

All of us, And we learned to read the stamps in our passports before leaving the airport immigration desk.
