  1. A more accurate description is a "Black Comedy". Yes, it is very funny in a dark way. I've seen both Season 1 and 2 and look forward to Season 3.
  2. It's quite possible their drinks were spiked. The fact that the two of them passed out and were unable to be revived is an indication.
  3. Did the thought even enter your head that these two girls might have had their drinks spiked?
  4. Pretty obvious from the angle of the girl's top.

  7. On my first visit to Phuket in 1983, I told the waiter I liked spicy food because I had grown up on Vindaloo curries. The cook decided to play a prank on two unsuspecting tourists and overdid it with the chilies. Well, it nearly blew our heads off but we survived with no ill effects. We were told they were "mouse sh*t" chilies. Now we can't get enough of them. This woman is obviously a wimp and is suing for suing's sake. Her name sounds Indian too. Obviously she doesn't like her native cuisine.
  8. Most likely Italian. Why comment on her size? 🙄
  9. First of all, the steps the women were sitting on were not legal and have subsequently been removed because they were encroaching on a public beach. At the very least, the villa owners should have known this. I wonder how difficult it would have been to have erected a low fence on the legal edge of the property, a gate to the beach, and a sign saying NO ENTRY in the required languages? It might have been enough to put off the "hordes of Chinese (?) tourists" that this man complained about previously from trespassing on his property. A small private villa estate on Railay Beach in Krabi has such a fence and it stops undesirables from wandering around the property. At least it did last time I stayed there. Finally, what happened with the road-rage incident Mr. Fehr was previously involved in? Or the dodgy elephant sanctuary where most of the "rescued animals" had been bought in?
  10. 1. Koh Tao. 2. A drainage ditch. 3. Allegedly fell and hit his head whilst drunk during participation in the Koh Tao Pub Crawl. 4. The death occurred some time in March of this year - March 18 to be precise. 5. The OP photo is completely misleading. The report of the Essex Coroner's inquest in Essex Live, whilst lacking in detail, does at least show a photo of the deceased.
  11. Curious that Koh Tao is not identified specifically. I wonder why?
  12. It appears to be the same man who died on Koh Tao back in March of this year. His name was given as Theo Bailey then. The report in Essex Live is from the U.K. Coroner's inquest into the death which has presumably taken place recently. His name is now given as Theo Morgan and his age as 27. If you compare the photos of Theo Morgan in the Essex Live article with the photos of Theo Bailey in press reports at the time of his death. It is most certainly the same person. Hope this clarifies things for you.
  13. Yes, it's the same person. His name was originally reported as Theo Bailey and he died on Koh Tao last March. Here is the original article from Essex Live. It is definitely him. Romford man died on holiday with girlfriend in Thailand after tragic accident - Essex Live
  14. Yes, that's the route I took back in the 1980s. 🙂
  15. Yes, that's what I meant actually. They don't routinely cull stray dogs here in the Netherlands but as there aren't any stray dogs roaming the streets, whatever they are doing is working. We do have animal shelters of course and I presume this is where the stray dogs end up after they have been neutered and vaccinated. If people want a dog they are encouraged to get one from a shelter rather than a dog breeder. Nevertheless most of the dogs I see in my neighbourhood are pedigrees.
  16. And the latest case in the UK where a man was mauled to death by an XL Bully that he was taking care of for a friend. The police shot it dead. XL Bullys have been banned in the UK since February this year, the only exceptions being registered dogs who have been spayed/neutered and have to wear a muzzle in public. I'm guessing this one was none of those things.
  17. There are no stray dogs in the Netherlands. Go figure .....
  18. Except the latest breed to be banned in the UK is the XL Bully, a derivative of the Pit Bull. Pit Bulls were banned years ago. Not that it stops morons importing them from places like the USA and breeding them clandestinely.
  19. He was having a pop at the good ole U.S. of A.
  20. Putin's only a communist in George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' sense.
  21. Oh give it a rest, Frank. It was not reported anywhere apart from social media.
  22. Yes, nitrous oxide inhaled through a balloon, or a canister, for recreational purposes. They are thinking about banning it in the UK because of the damage it does to the brains of young people.
