Once a year I burn off all my body hair using lighter fuel and a disposable lighter (subject to wind direction)It's quick, efficient and I do it to coincide with local farmers touching there fields, That way the smoke and ash I produce just mingles with the field fire air pollution and I don't get the bollocking for tarnishing the neighbours washing everyday for a week!-

Don't you think life has dealt those poor buggers a rough enough deal of the cards already without the prospect of a terminal velocity plummet into untold horrors as a PR trophy for Krudashian!F F Sake!

According to this, the UK Passport system has been an utter shambles since June this year.Now they are striking!I applied for a replacement UK Passport at VSF Global BKK for my son end of last June. Previously 9 Weeks was the maximum expected wait.Today after pushing multiple times via email the HMPO Bangkok Office clowns to update me they replied "This process takes 6-12 weeks approximately"They also provided this link to extend a childs current passport, main restriction is 'you can only undertake this if you have not applied for a new one!'If they had sent me this link it would have been of greater use!<deleted> Sake!

MBK "No Problem" I think third floor?
Still wearing a set of plain black ones I bought twelve years ago - but now they're grey, down to maybe eight since some got holes, but good quality and a very nice sturdy fabric, nothing fancy.
Absolutely! Same here, best quality T's in Thailand without a doubt. Still look fresh after 10 years -
I am looking for a source of 1/2" OD x 3/8"ID Clear Extruded Plexiglass Acrylic Tube (as pictured) in 2 metre lengthsI have tried the usual HomePro, Global & Thai Wasadu outlets but to no avail.Any ideas?

It's clear cut cases like this that justify an ex judicial outcome.

This might be it?If they actually sell what they show here then I think your GF needs to be pretty sporting!
Details are in Thai, but the map looks to indicate it's location off the main road from Mahasarakham to Kalasin (highway 213 I guess?)If you find the place let us know?

How to tell if they are fake or not? If the uniform fits well...they are absolutely fake!

That's a real shame, I was just last week looking again at his best work, Kevin Turvey (investigates) & The Man Behind the Green Door

You see I don't have a problem with fining, arresting or detaining those who break the traffic laws.The road blocks to nick those motorbike riders without licenses or helmets is full justifiable because it is directly related to saving their lives or those of others.To me one of the golden opportunities the law seems to miss is to penalise those who drive at night with faulty lights. They have the full gambit of offenders to choose from.If this is a sincere attempt to improve the reputation and effectiveness of the police then it can only be a good thing.

It's at least reassuring that over the years, with thousands of man hours and millions of dollars invested on R&D by the boffins at Curtin University, Perth, those culminate efforts have resulted in the miraculous technical advance and aid to mankind of a machine that can detect "a dull oomph!"Priceless!

Since moving to Isaan have you now found yourself unavoidably mimicking the indigenous folk in one way or another?This is not to be taken as an Isaan slagging whinge, moan and bitch opportunity! Just a shared smile to ourselves.These are the traits I have assimilated after a full time residency of 8 months so far.- Jumping red lights on my bike: (at lesser junctions only and at night)- Find a shady spot while waiting for the lights to change during the day,- Sucking & picking my teeth after a meal with some self fashioned foliage type implement! (Darwin would be proud)- Diet is now full Isaan fare, but I avoid the munchy crunchy content such as knuckles, feet, heads & chewy type spare parts. (I genuinely enjoying the taste variety)- Shower 3 times a day- Enjoy Archa beer- Hate having to visit BKK for whatever reason

Had a dinner meeting in BKK arranged once with a Thai friend.I arrived at the venue slightly ahead of time and got settled, ordered a beer and some nibbles knowing very well this Thai trait regarding punctuality.30 minutes pass and he calls to inform me traffic is bad, will be another 30 mins.30 mins later he calls again, "nearly there, crazy traffic, dunno whats happening, about 10 mins more!"I call him back 30 mins later...phone closed.I call again after 10 more mins....phone still closedI pay the bill and go home.Turns out he was in Chiang Mai when he spoke to me, but could not bring himself to tell me earlier that day that our appointment needed to be rescheduled. He was happy to spin some yarn until the 'loss of face' was too much to bear, then he turned off his phone!Truly amazing. Still shake my head trying to work that one out to this day. Said event took place 17 years ago.

There are large battery chicken farms that predominantly supply KFC in that province. Statistically Udon Thani consumes the most KFC per head in Thailand within age group 10-15 years old.They have noticed of late an increase in height and sexual anomalies develop in both girls and boys. Girls during this pre pubescent stage are becoming fuller and boys more effeminate.KFC also have an R&D facility in Udon Thani. They state that the steroids they lace the chicken feed with enables the chicks to mature 3 times faster then with standard feed.They are aware of the effects and to counter this they state that they have 'cloned a chicken with 4 legs! This will reduce the amount of feed steroids needed'When asked how does the new species of 4 legged chicken taste? The PR persons answered "We don't know?......no one has been able to catch to yet!"

"This system underwent a trial four years ago in nine Bangkok police precincts involving 15 units. Battery life was found to be too short and the font on the tickets were too small, but those problems have been fixed"
or
"Couldn't find a way to override the system so as to manipulate 'tea money subscription', took us a while but that's been sorted, so we keen to launch"

Kerry demanding Snowden to 'Man up', thats ****ing rich!In case Kerry as forgotten , the reason he is a politician (as with all politicians, anywhere & everywhere) is because his only worldly talents he poccesses are to cheat, lie, manipulate, deceive, swindle, etc...So, Snowden at least has a conscience which sadly has put him in this pickle.Therefore Kerry, the d**kless megalomaniac can only resort to name calling when confronted with someone with integrity.-

I think if you're really intent on worrying about something, you might want to question the risks attributed to hormone and steroid used to saturate meat/fish/poultry livestock available at the supermarket or fast food franchise outlet across the land.At least there is a good chance some authority is actively removing any fish that sets a geiger counter off into a clicking frenzy!And then there's the fruit and veg available here, liberally enhanced and coated with nasty'sSo, eat and be merry at Fuji...no risk, no fun!

*Don't take too seriously the following. Just a topic of political interest that's juicy for a changeBeen observing what's been brewing over the past months with regards to UK Politics, and although I do not agree with everything UKip stand for, it's been great to (i)see the post-mortem in the UK press today after Thursdays local by-election and (ii)monumental blunders/ignorance/assumption by the other party leader, especially Ed Milliband leading up to this event. Would love to see Millibands spin doctor rip into him (bring it Malcolm Tucker)Like Thai politics, the UK needs a Biblical type mass extinction of the established political <deleted>> wits.Kinda hope Ukip win the General Election next year. Gotta be worth 1 innings just to shake things up in UK politics!
