  1. Back in the days when LSD was only LSD and not adulterated with speed. I rode my Ducati 900ss on LSD. WOW! Going down a main road at night it was like in Star Trek when they go to light speed. Fantastic. Looked at my speedo and I was going ...................25kph.
  2. +mugic mushies now and again for a change.
  3. This is complete and utter nonsense.
  4. Bkk has had high pm 2.5 for months. Only when there is a wind (now predominantly from the SW) can you see the sun. Most days it's just a brownish cloudy sky. What was lacking during the cool season were the NE winds coming down from China. No burning was going so it was all down to pollution from factories and vehicles. As for the 10 million number well that's more than 10% of the population so this number is very suspect.
  5. As I said when this was posited last wk the digital wallet should be enough for a vote of no confindence. Will be interesting but I'm sure the non-eleceted govt will have some sort of work around. I hope not though.
  6. Thailand braces for intense heatwave and summer storms Not a heatwave and definitely not intense. This term is so overused and incorrectly so. A heatwave is an extended period of abnormally hot weather. A few days with temps around the 40C mark, in what is the hot season after all, does not make it a heatwave.
  7. And I'm sure a % of these had covid as it continues to circulate. Incidental covid numbers. Something continually dismissed by some on this forum. My lungs haven't been good for sometime now. There was a SWterly blowing for a while, the pm2.5 reduced and my lungs came good.
  8. The true power in charge comes from where it has always come from.
  9. And how many Thais do you this use FB the way you do? Not my missus that's for sure. apart from this my comment was about social media more generally phone addiction. I guess being without FB would sit somewhere within nomophobia.
  10. IMHO social media addiction is a very real and very bad thing. Intentional or not this is making people dumber which is a very good thing for those wielding power.
  11. Wow! This is a real suprise. Hot season with hot temperatures. Who would've thunk.
  12. Being that this is the very minimum that airfares have gone up I don't doubt it.
  13. What a silly comment. Ps dont laugh at your own comments. Leave that for others to determine.
  14. Fly domestic. Prices are up. This is an international flight and yep sure seems a good price. BKK-Adelaide flying Singapore Airlines is up around 50% pre covid.
  15. Record profits = record payouts for the CEO = less money in the pockets of the people who are providing the record profits. The few get richer at the expense of the public. Profits are profits but profiteering is another thing.
  16. Inflation is happening true. Why is another question. But if it's inflation then why massive profits? Same with the energy companies. Charges going up 25-30%+ in some places and the companies are making record profits. Supermarkets. Record profits. This is not just down to inflation. This is daylight robbery.
  17. I like it when big business is not ripping me off. You don't? Airfare to where I go is up around 30-40% from pre-covid/covid times.
  18. Tongue in cheek? One would certainly hope so.
  19. Airlines, energy providers. supermarkets, banks, etc, etc all making massive profits. Nothing at all to do with price gouging. Covid and post covid prices for essentials are the greatest crime against humanity this world has ever seen. In a depression the rich always get richer.
  20. Economy strong. Economy in decile. Economy set for revival. Sounds like TAT. Srettha's Keynsian approach of spending your way out (only on capital works) won't work but will definitely fill some pockets and fill them deep.
  21. She should come back now. Go to jail for the rice pledging scheme. Rapidly become ill and go to the police hospital within a hour or two. Stay there for a little while (they have a nice room that recently became available). Get a Royal pardon. Get released on bail. Then be aquitted.
  22. The thing about puppeteers and puppets is you only get to see the puppets.
  23. The very smallest tip of a very large iceberg. There's another very big iceberg out there and that's got the corruption money of those at the top.
  24. Yep. Empty headed, priviledged, thought bubble morons. Fools run this country, retract, corrupt fools run this country. Anyone want to challenge me on this and say that this isn't the case? Only when this changes can Thailand move forward.
