Most people in the UK have been vaccinated, so if they catch Covid very few of them are seriously ill, whereas Thailand is still playing "catchup" with its Government's vaccination programme, and ill or not, you are whisked off to hospital - possibly taking up beds that are needed by people who are seriously ill - and not necessarily just Covid. And answer me this - what is the logic behind being required to wear a "muzzle" while riding a motor bike ?

Your last sentence .  When I come out of a supermarket the first thing before putting in the shopping is my blasted mask comes off and I shout OFF.  Just before sun down me and 'er indoors ride our pushbikes through the rice fields , a mile to Ban Hoi then back.  My wife puts on a mask , we may not see another soul but on goes her mask.  Worse are the locals that want to talk to you but keep the mask up. I give up , I really do.

...........................raping a number of beauty pageant contesters.    Is this really so , just too weird.

I didn't realise Thailand was in Lop Buri province.

I tried to think of a better western made film than The Revenant in the past decade and couldn't come up with one, which is probably an indictment of the movie industry of late. I don't consider it to be a great movie, but that may be because I dislike Leo.

Next time you watch a film try Leo 8 with it or better still Beerlao IPA.

I appreciate well made films no matter how melancholy, but I enjoy froth and bubbles movies like rom coms.

The ones I like most leave me feeling happy, and not angry or depressed.

 

BTW, PC rip offs of beloved old movies make me angry, so I try not to get sucked into watching them.

Yes , EG Flight of the Pheonix ( may not be spelt like that ) . A great film but had to be remade and a failure as far as I am concerned. PC may have nothing to do with it but leave old , good movies alone.

Will certainly give it a look.  The theme suits me and I have liked Charlotte Gains. since Impudent girl. And its time I watched that again.

You can judge a lot of Thai restaurants on their Massaman. So often they are too light, thin, and taste like some generic curry. If they are not  dark, thick, a bit oily, full of good ingredients, and do not have the proper taste then don't go back.  

Thais seem to like thin curries .  I don't have any good Thai restaurants way up here but if I make a curry it is thick enough to sit atop the rice not drain through like soup. My wife says  ' Too indian '.  But then she is a bit racist when it comes to India. Sometimes she even says I need a shower , 'Strarting to smell like from India '.

When I left home to travel in 1986 India, Napal, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, I left an Itinerary with my Dad and collected Post restante letters at all the cities from him. 

Ah yes , when 4 of us went overland , 15 countries in 15 weeks Post restante was always a good stop , 1970 , what a life changer. I still have here The Dorking Advertiser with our photo along with the '62 Bedford Dormobile on the front page.

1966 and can I go to Redondo Beach as well ?

Some have partners; some have a paid for live-in cleaner and cook who they also use for sex.

In the toilet compartments of British Railways there was a notice - "Gentlemen lift the seat"

Gentlemen Lift Seat.mov - YouTube

When I went to school by train around 1960 there were lovely comments in the train bog.

' In olden days they used grass but now there's paper to wipe your a.se .'

' If you use this marble hall use the paper not the wall '

Another under the emergency cord 

'If 5 pounds you can afford try your luck and pull the cord if 5 pounds you do not own leave the bloody thing alone '.

60 years ago but can't remember what I had for dinner last night.

If men peed sitting down then there'd be no chance of missing the bowl and the seat would be down all the time. Common sense really.

I agree BUT , if I sit to pee I don't drain properly , standing up I do.

Yep , buy land now , they're not making anymore.

Bearing in mind that an average of about 50 people die in motorcycle accidents every day, there were probably more serious accidents that didn't make the news.

Just what I was thinking .I live many many miles from Patts and between here and Patts. many die every day on these roads. What makes this one special ................not much news today maybe.

At night when I wake up to go pee I sit down because I don't want to turn on those blaring lights and blind myself and aim for the pot while still half asleep. In the daytime I pee like a real man. It all averages out over time. All in all I prefer to go pee outside like nature intended, but now I live in the middle of the city.

Your last sentence . Ah they were the days when a forward slash was something one did in a hedge on the way back from the pub. Now a forward slash is called an oblique or something similar.

Driving me crazy . 2 days ago out having a coffee and pickup after pickup went passed , must have been 20 of them all doing about 20kph. , oh and all had the same geezer's poster on them !

OK , who said ' The world is your lobster ' ?

It must be here from me before or others same same.  Lift the seat , take a pee. Hour later , put the seat down take a dump.  On going to bed lift the seat take a pee , wife then goes puts seat down takes a pee.

How can this go to 5 pages ?
