Sh!t Top Gear is back in town,was there a slope ( incline ) on the road.

What came first,the chicken or the egg,answer that question then you will understand Thai logic ( is there a Thai word for logic? )

Hard times has fallen all over the world due to the economic situation.

Hope things change in the near future, because it's not good either for Pattaya or any other city in the world.

Nope.

Not everywhere.

Putin's Russia is in economic meltdown.

I hope strong man dictator Putin withdraws from Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.

I hope Putin stops scapegoating gays and blaming problems that he created on gays and the west.

How about that?

No mention in Costas post about gays,why did you bring it up STRANGE

Like your posts Costas,but I do disagree as I live within my means,learnt that lesson 40 years ago

Cue the doubling of everything to compensate ...

posters don't understand your irony,hence no likes.1 free like

Mods forget your advertising revenue,close this thread as it will bring out the worst in posters which will result in many holidays for members including myself.

I'm thinking that as we've just checked previous bins and it was 10 BT a metre now we're on the 19bt tariff . Over 10 m so we've turned of everything water related for few a hours and going to check meter

I've been banned from the shower

LOL

If you have a water pump and it runs when everything is turned off then a good chance you have a leak somewhere.even a small drip will activate the pump.I have had this problem in the past and to locate the leak I turned off everything individually,ie bum guns,toilet cisterns etc.worse case scenario it is underground where you cannot see,you can still find it by isolating the main water supply to the house.also listen to hear if your water tank is filling plus the water meter is running.hope this is helpful.

Better idea! Tell everyone in your country Thailand ain't the place to stagger around in a drunken or drugged out haze!

you and the other likes not run out of apologist pills yet,be careful they have a test for it.

Beetlejuice post # 54

I would guess it`s because many of the witnesses are staying illegally in Thailand, maybe working without permits and into a multitude of illegal activities, which is why they prefer to keep out of the limelight and have low profiles.

Also those who were not close or associated with the tragic victims will probably be reluctant to become involved as is mostly the case when serious crimes are committed. That means the police are really on their own as for providing evidence. From my experience of farangs here in Thailand and their anti social attitudes, perhaps because they are into activities they prefer to keep behind the scenes or simply just don`t care, it comes as no surprise that they will not come forward and become involved within this investigation.

No corruption involved, it is how I have described above.

Absolutely tragically hilarious post from someone who is plainly not in contact with the real world or what passes for it here in Thailand.

This super sleuth Sherlock Bones has it seems solved the case on his or her own, dismissed all or any possible defense witnesses as ''illegals and the B2 are judged guilty without a shred of evidence being offered on their behalf.Indeed Judge Jefferies still it seems is alive sad to say

Coming from a farang who it seems regards all other farangs as suspect on the orders of his spouse which the he admits to it is indeed a tragic statement on the posters attitude to other foreigners here irrespective of nationality or skin colour and no doubt religious beliefs.

Now when is character who posted his hyperbole of diatribe going to organise the lynching party one might ask and also where and finally why?

The quoted comment in the post is indeed proof that the understanding of the system and the way thing work here is not perceived in the ivory tower or fools paradise from where this poster posted from concerning this matter.

I bow to your superior command of the English language in responding to this post.Unfortunately I was only gifted with the same basic education level as Beetlejuice.So thus I have to leave it to my intellectual superiors to degrade such a peon who is inclined ( not sloped ),to post on here

Is that a blanket overview about farangs in Thailand,based on that you are whiter than white.Are there any other farangs in Thailand with your background or are you the only one.If you are the only whiter than white farang here then it is time for me to go home.I can't meet the requirements to be living in Utopia.

There is little reason to even reply to a statement like the one Beetlejuice made. It is so devoid of wisdom, intelligence, experience, and open mindedness, that it is really impossible to address.

I know,but it gives him or her or whatever gender it belongs to a reason to get up in the morning.I quite enjoy it's of the planet posts.

This is an excellent video. I've seen it going around FB for a few days, now. It captures The Dream of an entire segment of would-be vacationers and visitors from the West. Extremely well done. People knocking the quality of this video haven't got a clue.

Yes, but you do agree - that it does not line up, very well, with the new way of administrating VISAS and Extensions.....right? And it does not fit, the "quality turist" agenda. Those western backpacker-types, are the ones they got rid of during the summer....now they are paying for videos, that should bring them back? Ehh...?!?

Yes, I agree, with one qualification. Do not discount the impact of this video on older, wealthier "quality tourists," too. What makes it so good, what makes its vision of the The Dream so effective is the almost retro nostalgic feel it generates--for a Thailand that was (in older visitors' minds) and it might just make them want to reconnect to their own desire for adventure and romance when they were young. It will appeal to more than backpackers. It generates the feel of the exotic, the romantic, and adventure among the palms. I think whoever made this caught lightning in a bottle.

A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Habeas corpus.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Which is why many people in the UK are against the EU arrest warrant.

It allows for a British subject to be shipped over to countries like Greece upon request without being questioned by the British police or government. That citizen can then languish in a Greek prison for 2-3 years without even being given a trial yet. Because that is how some of the countries work in the EU.

This is a massive breech of Habeas Corpus and the citizen's rights under the Magna Carta.

Cameron is in fact defiling the Magna Carta and should be locked up himself..... Keep driving more voters to UKIP Dave..... You idiot.

Costa will love this as the prisons in Greece have been privatised just like the UK.I know he is a major share holder,wish I had listened to him when he gave me the tip.But that would have been insider dealing and I am above that.Costa where is my money,you cheap Zorba.

The women and children had been there for eight months . . .

The authorities do not know if they are Uighur fleeing persecution in China.

Have to hand it to the Thai officials in charge of they cluster f@#k. Had these folks in custody for eight months and couldn't even figure out what people group they belonged to!!! One can only assume that Thai government employees are dumber than rocks?

as usual you are fair with your posts.in this case you give credit where credit is due,hope you get my meaning

I can only assume that the punishment one is likely to receive for committing a crime, is inversely proportionate to your income.

It is more proportionate to your name!!

Remember the 16 year old girl, who killed 8 minivan-passengers on the tollway?

She was sentenced to boarding-school in Switzerland!! Ofcourse nothing to do with the fact, that her familyname is Na Ayutthaya??

So my dear general, instead of cleaning beaches, moving streetvendors or fixing the taxiranks, what about some real reform?? Like in the same law for rich and poor!! Might not make your sponsors happy, but for sure would "return happiness to the people"!

thin ice,how can i say in a cryptic response i agree.can we have an enigma machine on here?

So to hell with governments and their screwing of hard working people,take all you can,and when you can,coz these corrupt governments are doing exactly the same.

you are slow on the uptake,been like that since i was born but i was lucky enough to suss the barstewards out,always managed to play by their rules.( I don't mean to be critical of your post,just my point of view.)

Tesco rice, 90 baht for 5 kilo's. tells the story.

Tessa Cohen has a lot to answer for.I heard she wants to go home.

No sorry I wasn't.

Did you get put in the brig?

I might have tried you if that was the case.

That might have been me,what was the rig of the day,not tropical routine so no LOA.
