    Thais, be they drivers or pedestrians, tend to be thinking about things other than what they are doing i.e. not concentrating. Having said that I was not exactly impressed by the road manners in the UK the last time I was there.

    If it was me I'd pay up and move on. Small money, not worth arguing about.

    Usually it's the other way round with adults being classdified as children, some of whom are 6 ft tall with beards.

    What used to be wildlife territory is now being taken over by people. It is very difficult now for feral animals to avoid humans.

    Ignorance on my part, what is the significance of an EM in this story ?

    Unforgivable cruelty to a very young child. In the absence of a death penalty jail for life with no parole.

    ..or maybe very smart.

    Order of preference, first, sit alone, second, sit next to a corpse, third, sit next to a living person.

    Not bald, 83 years old, happily married to my Thai wife, aged 68, since 1990. I smoke 1 small cigar a day, and no longer drink alcohol. At my age I must be fading away, to refer to one of your categories, but slowly, and thankful for still being able to mostly enjoy life.

    In this sad case the deceased appears to have lost control of his vehicle with no other road users involved.

    Immigration control has been non-existent in the UK for many years. I remember a time when the entrance and departure of all people, Brits and foreigners alike, was meticulously recorded, and often closely questioned if there was any doubt about their credibility. Now it's free movement for all. Not good.

    Nearly 5 million baht profit for 1 minute's work. A good return by any standard.

    This Thai bouncer did not seek any help from other Thais. The Brit clearly had no idea he was taking on someone who was not afraid to fight, and who had the skills to do so.

    They have been shown in front of the cameras being reunited with their families. I wonder how long it will be before they are re-arrested, never to be seen again. Shame on you Thailand.

    If anybody knows this security guard let me know. Sounds like a guy who can take care of both himself and the business he is paid to look after.

    They should, but he is probably lying low for the time being.

    My uncle John arrived in Bangkok in 1946 following his involvement throughout the Burma campaign. Years later he advised me, in my early teens, never to turn down the opportunity of a posting to Bangkok if it was offered. At the time I wondered what on earth he was talking about.....

    Ridiculous comment. Find something else to do.
  20. Thingamabob
    Of course. The fact is, though, that Hayward was an 'ivory tower' man who should have known better. He was not somebody I could ever get on with. Far too fond of himself.
  21. Thingamabob
    So what ? I doubt she would have any idea why people like yourself find it necessary to comment on her choice of T shirt.
  22. Thingamabob
    How about he is an over-stayer ? Last thing he would want to do is talk with the RTP.
  23. Thingamabob
    In my case 30 years with BP. I entirely agree your comments ref the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Utterly appalling, and out of character with the way in which BP had normally handled such tragedies. Hayward resigned shortly thereafter.
  24. Thingamabob
    Of course.

    At least there is currently talk about peace rather than, up to now, talk about an endless supply of weapons to keep the war going.
