  1. I agree with the last line. If you are measureing the IQ of americans then the average has to be 100. That is the baseline for average.
  2. 1968 convention (original) The convention had amendments on 3 September 1993 and 28 March 2006. There is a European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Traffic (1968), which was concluded in Geneva, on 1 May 1971. Note that before 29 March 2011 the convention demanded contracting parties to recognise as valid for driving in their territories: any domestic driver's permit drawn up in their national language or in one of their national languages, or, if not drawn up in such a language, accompanied by a certified translation; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Driving_Permit
  3. International Driving Permits are governed by three international conventions: the 1926 Paris International Convention relative to Motor Traffic, the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. When a state is contracted to more than one convention, the newest one terminates and replaces previous ones. Thailand is a participent in the Paris and Geneva Conventions but not the Vienna. Look it up
  4. used to be here but now they insist on the IDP . The international convention now states that the license used must be in the official language of the country it is used in. hence the need for the IDP.
  5. check your beer dates in bars also, if not supervised they tend to put the new beer in front of the old as it saves work and when then they get down to the old stuff it is well out of date.
  6. because lady boys are called for the draft, this also means that the government does not treat them as women, as other countries are doing and as the LGBTXVSLKT groups would like us to
  7. You were robbed mine cost 20
  8. all are items that can be bought fresh in the uk at chinese shops
  9. If you ever have need of an operation remember to ask the hospital staff not to wear masks as they don't work
  10. 24 hours is not measured by the rotation of the earth. Time is measured by atomic clocks, due to the rotation of the earth not being exactly 24 hours( and the rotation is slowing) occasionally clocks must be altered to make up for the difference. That is a leap second.
  11. Another storm in a teapot. The number of passports issued before 2018 and not having sufficient validity to meet the criteria must be very small as the extra length on the passports would only be 9 months. so only people whose passports were issued in a nine month period and had the nine months added and also wish to travel to europe during a short time frame fall into this category.
  12. Not another project with no maintenance
  13. Last Tuesday workers were removing all the internet cables along south Pattaya Road. great heaps of cut cable on the pavements outside Tukcom and nearby.
  14. It is methanol that makes you go blind. ethanol is the basis of all good distilled alcohol. The knack of distilling is to ensure ethanol and not methanol is produced and kept when distilling mash made with plant based products.
  15. A higher birth rate in the past has led to a large elderly population now. Increasing the birth rate will only help in the short term as the increase will lead to the increase population eventually becoming elderly. Unless the government intends to constantly increase the population. This pyramid scheme will end up like all pyramid schemes, they go bust because they are unsustainable. Investment in technology and education with a decrease in rampant consumerism is the only way out.
  16. it is in the words - per cent- parts of 100. 603% doesn't exist
  17. The pattaya news article shows changes only to alcohol produced in thailand and does not show beer.
  18. I think, if you make a contract with a company to convey you by air to a certain destination, on a particular type of aircraft, at a particular time, at a particular price, and arrive at another time, then any deviation from that schedule is a broken contract. I think Thai Airlines should be thankful that the only have complaints and not class action lawsuits.
  19. I go through my youtube offers daily and tell them not to offer from certain channels. Two days later exactly the same video is once again in my feed. I sometimes wonder if their algorithm takes any notice what soever. If I am tempted to watch a youtube video shown on another site I am immediately inundated with similar videos. If I save a video to watch later, which I do if I would like to watch it more than once, they repeatedly put it back in my feed even when they know I have bookmarked it for future reference and do not need to be shown it again.
  20. Oh I yearn for the days when Bangkok airport had a sign saying people in flip flops, with long hair or hippies would not be permitted to enter the country.
  21. Sustainability means using renewable sources, where does this come into jewellery making? Jewellery making is probably on of the most recyclable industries as the precious metals can be melted down and reused and the jewels, even if out of fashion, can be recut and reset. But sustainability not unless wood becomes rarer and more expensive.
  22. Tesco Lotus started off in fine style, with lots of own brand products, but this soon went downhill and the products disappeared from the shelves. That's when I stopped using the shop except for occasional items.
