Church of England’s Shift Away from Traditional Terminology
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
A couple of translated quotations from early publications of the Quran: 'Women are your fields. Go into them as you please' 'Killing an infidel will ensure you a place in heaven' Unless the Anglican church, and Brits generally, wake up, Britain will be under sharia law by the end of this century, latest. Messing about with terminology is a waste of time. Leadership that commands respect is what is needed. -
Not that good at it though. He fled to Dubai having upset the hierarchy in Bangkok, who regard him as an upstart, to the point at which he was charged with several crimes, a major one of which is still outstanding. He appears to be incapable of going about his business quietly. This could yet see him on his way back to Dubai, with the current PM in tow.

Bye bye Electric & Hello Hydrogen?
Thingamabob replied to eezergood's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I agree. All I would add is that it would be unwise to entirely exclude hydrogen at this point. -
Bye bye Electric & Hello Hydrogen?
Thingamabob replied to eezergood's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Hydrogen can be produced from different sources in different ways to use as a fuel. The two most common methods currently are steam- methane and, as you say, electrolysis. However, researchers are working on developing other, alternative methods. It remains to be seen how this work progresses, but reports indicate significant progress. It is quite possible that hydrogen as a commercially practical fuel will be widely available within the next 5-10 years. -

Never thought of that one ! As a rule, if men want extra time, they must pay extra money. No extra money, no extra honey. -

If my daughter or grandaughters were treated in this way by this scumbag he would be in poor shape for the rest of his worthless life. -

Trump Breaks Security Protocol to Comfort Supporter
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
As far as I am concerned, not being an American, I think this was a kind gesture. Of course the low-minded on here will not agree. They are consumed by hate. -

A creative force has made all that we know and understand, and in multiverse beyond. Not sure if that force should be called God, but his, her or it's power is evident all around us, for better and for worse.

Snake Bites Thai Man in Toilet (short)
Thingamabob replied to Video News's topic in Video News and Updates
He didn't just hit the snake with toilet brush, he killed it. Sad, and utterly pathetic. -
As has been said earlier Buddhism is not a religion, it is a philosophy. What is mainly practised in Thailand is not Buddhism, it is a combination of animism, idolatry and business. In the latter case a lot of money is made out of fortune-telling to a largely gullible and poorly-educated people.

Looking at a period in time from the 1960s to today I would say the nightlife was the most fun during the 1970s and early 1980s. Great music in the bars, girls not pushy, everyone friendly and up for a laugh. The original Queens Castle on Patpong 1 was amazing, and was voted the best bar in Asia by Time Magazine.

Do you hold hands with your paid companion?
Thingamabob replied to Celsius's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Strange question. Only answer could be along the lines of 'sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes maybe' when out and about with the Thai lady to whom I've been married since 1990. Certainly neither of us are remotely interested in looking 'cool'. Couldn't care less.
