  1. GPO? Royal Mail used to be called the GPO (General Post Office) but I feel that this is a different acronym! 🙂 (I do hate it when people assume that you should know their meaning sometimes!)
  2. I still fail to see why a convicted criminal should even be ALLOWED to run for President, let alone why millions of people would vote for one! Still, I'm from the UK - I know nothing of American politics!
  3. ".............Ms. Aom was critically injured........" Not a further word in the report about this lady - why? (And I know the report is about the severely injured young man!)
  4. That's why "Mafia" is in inverted commas in the headline - they can't think of a more suitable word!
  5. What on earth is an "uncommon party"?
  6. "The investigation is expected to conclude in 30 days, but it may be extended for up to 30 days at a time until it is completed." Oh, dear - more committee meetings then!
  7. Yes, they need to be made aware that once a pedestrian sets a foot on a Zebra crossing - he/she takes priority, and drivers are responsible if they hit them. Too many times this fact is ignored.
  8. Usually there is not a lot of room in an ambulance for family, so to me it seems perfectly normal for the family to follow behind in a car - nothing dubious at all. Or are you the type who would wave his wife off in the ambulance and say - "See you tomorrow, dear" and carry on as if nothing had happened?
  9. Why? I was 7 or 8 years old and in there for a c**p. And in those days, a urine sample was something you may have heard your Granny talking about! Or just your attempt at humour?
  10. And there's plenty of those!
  11. Same, same but different?
  12. If they've got "knobs" they're not ladies!
  13. You'd have to ask him! Maybe cabbage flavoured?
  14. In the UK we had to pay a penny to "spend a penny" at coin operated facilities - and the toilet paper was called Bronco or Izal and was like greaseproof paper - nothing stuck! 😞
  15. My mate and his son were there a few weeks ago!
  16. "You have no psychotic road rage drivers in your country? " Thai drivers take it to a new level though! In my old country "road rage" doesn't entail shooting somebody because somebody nicked what you thought was your parking space!!!
  17. "........... coin operated toilet facilities......." Reminds me of a rhyme we kids used to chant back in the UK many years ago:- "Here I sit all broken hearted - wasted a penny 'cos I only fa***d"
  18. I disagree - at 3 a.m. there are less likely to be people on the beach or swimming in the sea, and the complaint seems to be that they were doing it in daylight in view of some "outraged" beachgoers.
  19. I don't think it happened at 3 a.m., but at 3 a.m. you would certainly be less visible to the public, which I think is the main complaint here.
  20. Peeing in a shop doorway is to me obnoxious behaviour - if you are caught that short surely you could find a nearby alleyway to perform?
  21. Make them work at the morgue at the hospital for no wages for a while, and show them what could be the results of their "macho" behaviour. Take away their licence (and car) for a year, and and a bit of community service wouldn't go amiss either, because as you say "a wai, sorry and 500-2000 baht fine" would be like a slap on the wrist for these idiots.
  22. I am having the same problem - they are showing in my Outlook Inbox, but appear briefly then disappear - frustrating!
  23. That's why LL went on my "Ignore" list! Would be interesting to see how many other people have taken the same step!
