  1. Russians outside Russia are under pressure the moment. Maybe it was your flashing lights which triggered him, as they would an epileptic, or something else you did.
  2. ....'Where they get the money from to do that is anyone's guess'....They get it from the country's largest earner which is never recorded or reported anywhere.
  3. Went in person, as usual, to CW last week to make my 90 day report. In and out in 45 minutes. No agent's fee involved, and no on-line hassle.
  4. Yes indeed. Time will tell. If past events are anything to go by Johnson may survive the confidence vote but will be under pressure to resign in due course. He could call a general election which would be interesting....
  5. Myopic. Most countries are facing identical problems. Johnson is a proven winner against all the odds. He has won the London mayoral elections twice, delivered an 80 seat majority in the general election, nearly died from covid, got the vacciation programme organized, led the free world against Russia, and is finalizing the UK's exit from the EU. In addition to which his mother died during the pandemic but he kept going notwithstanding. Hardly surprising Labour, and some wet Tories, are desperate to get rid of him before the next general election which he will win with an increased majority.
  6. As time has gone by I don't miss England at all. Last visit 5 years ago. Didn't like most of what I saw and left early. The place has changed a lot since I last lived there over 40 years ago, for better or for worse depending on your viewpoint.
  7. I doubt this monkey is any longer in the land of the living.
  8. This is presumably to make sure that any potential visitors find somewhere else to enjoy their holiday.
  9. Correct. The elite are in the business of forever buying property etc abroad. They keep the Baht at the highest rate possible to facilitate this, often defying the trend in international markets. Every so often they get badly caught out, eg 1997/8.
  10. The Thai police will likely get nowhere with this. They are very nervous when dealing with Russians.
  11. The system is that, when you've made enough, you get out to let the next lot in the queue/line take their turn. If you're too greedy, and hang about for too long, you'll get trouble.
  12. '..bagged and readied for its return to nature..' No chance. Pure BS
  13. The Thai police arrested a 56 years old woman who possessed 1 cannabis plant exhibiting, as usual, their astonishing bravery, competence and intelligence.
  14. Been mugged in Manila which was not a good experience. Thailand is safer, cleaner, more interesting and more fun.
  15. Not at all. Simply, in words you may be able to understand, it will take time to fully audit the outcome of the various vaccination programmes. Have a nice day.
  16. The girl "will be back at school by the end of the week". Can't have been that bad then, and I wonder if we are getting the true story. However dog, cat and animal haters generally are having their say.
