    I could imagine a lot of Thai teachers don't want questions, as they cannot provide answers! 

    That reminds me of my schooling.   A private school for the sons of gentle folk.  The teachers were useless , the head master got respect and so did the PE teacher as he could wield a gym slipper across the rear.

    Another teacher was queer , not PC these days I know. He said I was growing up to be a teddy boy like my brother. Another teacher said ' A sentence cannot begin with and '   And why is that sir I asked. Yep , a dreadful place , my school cap ended up on the White Hart pub sign a 100 yards from the school.  The place was pulled down in 1964 I think.

    Nice image you posted.

     

    Maybe this good image will help some to better visualize the structure of the planetary system in which we reside.

     

    However, next time, please include the Kuiper Belt, which is also interesting.

     

    My favorite planet is Neptune... What about yours?

    I remember at school about 60 years ago being told by the science teacher  ' If you snigger at Uranus one more time Ross junior you will be sent to the headmaster and on coming back to this class your bottom will be shining like the setting sun.'   The happiest days of your life ...not likely .......sir.

    An absolutely *cracking* beer. 
    I tried it when it came out and haven't looked back.  It's  55 baht per bottle where I am (a five baht discount on the original Leo to stimulate sales ,I assume) but I buy it by the box at 585.

    Agree The Oracle , at last Leo 8 and not too bad for lager.  The off licence here sells it for 589 B a case. Strong means more flavour not more alc.

  4. I remember what must have been more than 10 years ago when I lived in Hua Hin there were problems with Indian owned shops , the ones that sold suits etc.  We learnt to park nearby but if trying to park outside their shop they went off on one.  Don't know if they are still there as not been to H/H in donkeys years.

    There's topics like this before .

    A man playing with centipede in floodwaters , Bangkok , Thailand Stock  Photo - Alamy

    This type is dangerous ... this is full adult .

    Millipede,Thailand Stock Photo, Picture And Royalty Free Image. Image  15016226.

    This is the other type , not dangerous .

    As you can see the difference , 1 has legs sideways , other one has legs underneath . There are color variations , but the main thing stays , avoid the sideway legs .

    Another big difference is the speed of moving , the dangerous type moves quick , even small they react fast . The harmless type , rolls up .

    One at the top is a centipede the one below is a milipede .
