Just received 50g of Biscotti from line sellor @บ้านครูสมุนไพร for 990bht COD (based at Lampun). Seems pretty good, fast delivery by Thai post. That works out at 20bht/g,if you buy 100g it's down to 15bht/g.

Dunno, I live in MaeJo/San Sai and the university and surrounding area is flood free.

Or maybe not!

Greens in CM have kippers 260bht for 170g. As for butter, Teapot 50% butter blend (YoK) is good enough for me @100bht for 500g.

As explained to me by a Thai lady ....... 1. The police aren't very good, you'll probably get away with it. 2. For poor people Thai jail isn't much worse than Thai life.

My country of origin is too wet, windy and cold. But happy to live anywhere I can sit with the windows and doors open all day and the cycling is good.

Nah, almost every bad/wild kid has obviously 'wrong uns' as parents. (from 10 years teaching in the very worst of UK council estate and mining town schools) I only ever encountered one parent who wasn't obviously at fault, but she was a single mom which might have been the fault in itself. I guess it's possible to have a bad kid with two good parents, but I never met one.

Thai story says girls driving wrong way, translation into English says pickup driving wrong way, take your pick.

My top four would be, Casita Mexican, Rajdarbar Indian, Au Der Auf German, and KhuaLek cafe. Out of those 4 the last 3 are closed due to flooding. Coffee shops, Hom coffee, At Ta Rote coffee, the 2nd is currently underwater.

Probably because they were breaking the law driving a m/c while underage and driving the wrong way.

"Having to deal" sounds like you think looking after your children is a chore! I've always had very well behaved kids with a minimum effort, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Radleys Just released, vampire family pretending to be normal, trailer looks good.

Guys it's the school holidays, all the government schools have already been closed for a week and not due to reopen until the end of the month.

Had dinner at Casita Mexican restaurant last night 3 tacos, a coke and a free plate of chips and dips for 260bht. Not that expensive (£6.50). Couldn't finish the free plate, too full. I often eat at Rajdarbar Indian restaurant, same price for chicken jalfrezi, naan bread and a coke. Then there's the Au de Auf German buffet, again at the same price. Can't beat eating out in Chiang Mai for good value food. Pre dinner Leo at the jungle bar (next to mad dog) 80bht, post dinner beer at the moat house rooftop bar with some Thai guitarist singing Oasis songs another 80bht. Around £10 for a night out!

"Binary discussion" ....... But you're not woke!

You think the "wokes" understand the world? While I think those that can't tell men from women have no grip on reality.

Do dads really do that? My dad never did, and I never have either. Think you've never had kids and believing the Hallmark channel.

Had my first 2 in my early 30s, another 2 in my early 40s, and another one at 53. They are all physically and mentally fine ......... now I'm 68 and my youngest just turned 13. Didn't see much of the first 4 as too busy working. I'm around for my youngest 24/7.

Slightly off topic, One good result during the flooding ...... Couldn't get my usual Friday night eatery, Rajdarbar Indian restaurant in LK. So tried La Casita Mexican restaurant in Ratvithi road, it was very good, free chips and dips, 3x soft tacos and a coke for 260bht. Couldn't eat all the chips.

Was in town last night, at 8pm the roads going past wat Fa Ham were all flooded and blocked to traffic down to Au Der Auf, Loi Krow was flooded from the river to the boxing ring. Couldn't see the night bazaar as the water was too deep. I've never seen it this bad before.

Jewish is Semite aka Arabic, so not white. About as white as Obama.

You assume he could read? Quite a lot of the Hill Tribe people living in that area never went to any school.

250bht for 250gm, (Food Variety or BritiShop) not that expensive seeing it lasts months.

Rebel ridge was a non violent rip on First Blood. Almost unwatchable, poor acting, poor fight scenes worthy of the Hallmark channel. If anyone claims it was good ..... they've been paid to say that. But I'm hopeful for today's new releases, I just downloaded, A movie version of the TV series Salem's Lot, and another horror Hold your Breath (1930s dustbowl setting). And new releases of old movies Kull the Conqueror, and Caligula X rated version.

Not white, so not part of white culture.
