  1. You’re going to have to work on the subtlety aspect of your irony..
  2. Next time you might find all four tyres flat and the car keyed, what's your next step of retaliation? Easy,you leave the car there for 3 days! That way they’ve messed things up for themselves! ????
  3. I dunno,one in,one out? They’ve just got a real peach from Burma on the way in! ????
  4. The average good looks of Canadians will have been given a nudge upwards ! I guess my offer came second… ????
  5. Didn’t Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear try something like this,only much worse, with a Toyota pickup …and still it wouldn’t die ! ???? My daughter’s 8 year old Yaris in U.K. has only had 3 windscreen wipers and still passes it MOT with no advisories.
  6. It’s actually a fair condition when considering actuarial tables.
  7. Correct. Very many occupational pension trustees pay 50% to a surviving widow,but will reduce this amount proportionately if she is more than 10 years younger. It’s often spelled out in the general terms. Another tip is to advise the pension trustees she is your nominated beneficiary , advising them English isn’t her first language and lodge a copy of her passport and marriage certificate with them to preempt the requirement for her to provide ID when the time comes for her to claim.
  8. Never had any additional fees from Wise to Kasikorn. One of the easiest ever transfers to initiate which even takes you to your banks app to authorize the payment. Fees are clearly spelled out and overall unbeatable rates,certainly better than U.K. banks. Usually arrives in seconds/minutes too.
  9. The all too common sight of helmetless motorcycle riders all masked up illustrates the amount of critical thinking being employed by ‘lovely' Thais.
  10. The motorcycle rider was not in the wrong,but he was a classic case of being dead right … ☠️
  11. Business was brisk for him in the aftermath… ????
  12. That would be the case even if you had a fairly new Mercedes’ or BMW
  13. The most disturbing aspect is teaching English while writing "would of" ! Worse than underage sex in my book ! ????
  14. The same with pronunciation. And anyway it’s not difficult- see this : Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
  15. Perhaps just scale it down to Adolf ? ????
  16. My money is on NOT given description of injuries. Can’t understand that - I put full face helmet and gloves even if going 1 kilometre,it’s 20 seconds of your life …
  17. The cars will be staying here ,not back to U.K. where they will be classified as stolen recovered (diminished value).As you say they are the insurers property and a deal will be done by them with whoever possesses them now for compensation,or they’ll be resold here.
  18. While I concur with your mask wearing observation outside tourist areas and generally I mimic the wearing just to fit in,on the occasions I’ve forgotten my mask I carry on and am not met with any pushback or unsaid disapproval
  19. Don’t fret,you now have 4 options of the same reaction! ????
  20. What’s the essential difference between the new emoticon reaction options? They all appear to be inconsequential variations of the same sentiment. Just have a single "recommend " button if the intention is to disguise the removal of a "disagree" option.
  21. Indeed,a very unusual place vs a typical Thai town and especially on the weekend during the market.Fully concur regarding the drive along the Mekong!
  22. Given it’s brand presence here I’d have thought you’d include Isuzu in your short list? I’ve had one for 7years and not sure when the most recent model was released ,but given advances I’d always incline towards those that have just had a (non cosmetic) revamp.
  23. Diesel here is half the price or less than in U.K./Europe so electric cars ,especially their higher price ,is going to be a tougher sell.
  24. Daughter just booked end of October to come from Manchester and Emirates came up cheaper and better timings than Qatar. Last time I flew with Emirates and she came in June with Qatar. Comparing notes clearly Emirates is better and usually more expensive so I’d go for Emirates on price parity. They had the A380 too which is much nicer !
