  1. He's not tall enough. He'd need a step ladder. 😂
  2. Would be funnier still if Fiat (the company) still owned Ferrari (the brand).
  3. Where did the Thai wife come from? There was no mention in the OP of any Thai Wife. Or are you just someone who assumes all Western blokes in Thailand are interested in Thai women.
  4. I definitely don't think we should be allowed to do anything we want, that is just ridiculous. Just this morning a friend from New Zealand called me and greeted me with "Jo San" when I answered his call. But I don't see why anyone would be offended, if someone, used ANY language to greet them. I can say Hello in multiple languages. My friends can all understand hello in different languages. Most educated people (from the West at least) can understand a few words in multiple languages, even just from watching TV and Movies. There is no reason why I should be forced to say hello in English only to English people, hello in French only to French people and hello to Thais only in Thai. If a Thai person doesn't understand Bonjour or Gutentag then they also probably have no idea whether I'm English, French or German. Maybe those Italian tourists had heard people say 'Ni Hao' and weren't aware it was Mandarin, but though it was Thai. What if they had said "Ciao" ? I use "Ciao" a lot and I use "Hey Esse!" with some friends even though we are not Spanish speaking gang members. We say "Whassup!" to each other a lot too.... like the famous Bud commercial.
  5. Even better is to delete ALL Windows files and replace them with Linux.
  6. Do you never use any other languages in Thailand other than Thai? I'm a Brit, when I'm talking with people I know we greet each other in all sorts of languages and ways. I might decide I want to say Bonjour to people, or maybe greet them with 'Jo San' (Good morning in Cantonese). I choose words I know my friends will understand. I studied French, Latin, Spanish and Ancient Greek at school and I have friends from more countries than I can remember, which means I've picked up a few words and even sentences in lots of languages. Most of us know how to say hello etc in multiple languages, why do we have to limit ourselves to using our own language, or saying it in Thai if we speak to a Thai person? Why can't we say hello in French to a Thai person, or say hello in Italian, Chinese, German, Russian? Regular Thais probably don't get enough exposure to lots of other languages, so they don't understand hello in multiple languages, but that is their problem not ours.
  7. That ID does not exist on line.
  8. https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/paper-bags/?spm=a2o4m.homepage.search.d_go&q=paper bags&catalog_redirect_tag=true
  9. Why not just use Libre Office or better yet just use Google Sheets (instead of Excel) and Google Docs (instead of word).
  10. Coming up on 56 years in Asia, 17+ of which have been in Thailand.
  11. I stopped drinking everything except water. Soft drinks first about 12 years ago, alcohol 5.5 years ago. Milk probably 4 years now. There's no reason to drink anything else and water only costs me around 3 baht per day.
  12. He should look back with pride at how many people had fun using the products he was able to get for them. And yes, your comment was nonsense as there is no soul. We have consciousness but that isn't a soul. As soon as the electrical activity in our body ceases then so does our consciousness, there is no afterlife.
  13. Ste-ROID rage. Anger, or a short fuse, caused by taking muscle building steroids.
