for what?

Bit of a pub quiz question " who first played James Bond ? " people always say Sean Connery , but then the answer is Bob Holness who played him on the radio before Connery.

This is the first I've heard of Barry Nelson I must say, although he is listed on the net as the first Bond ( in some lists ), this puts Bob Holness into second place . [emoji4]

Let's not forget Bob Holness of Blockbuster fame !!

I hope she gets it ready bottled. Some job to collect the secretions. I had it in my (somewhat warped) mind that snails were chucked into a blender, flick the switch and there you have it.

Yes ready bottled [emoji16]
I did suggest I could " milk " the snails for their secretion but I don't have a WP !

Shhhhh, that's Colonel Sanders secret recipe you're talking about there [emoji51]

Thank Buddha there was only the one passenger, not a full bus load.
At 31 you would think he should know better. The police should test his blood to see what he was on, I guess they can find lots of it splattered inside the van I would think.
I hope the injured person is not serious, and can make a full recovery.
RIP Jureerat.

2 were killed ( the driver being one) and several were injured.

Can someone explain what snail whitening cream is all about? I have only really noticed it in the last 12 months or so. What part/s of the snail have the whitening effect?

Apparently it's the secretion filtrate that has the " miracle " whitening effect.
Very big in Korea and most of SEA .
My gf sells it on the net !!

All of him except the shell !

RIP Roger
I grew up with The Saint and The Persuaders, great stuff, not forgetting his Bond movies of course.

Don't know if I posted this before ? But if I did I'm not apologising it's worth a second look !!

 

Whole lotta sabbath

 

 

Something different for you :

A Hotel full of secrets - Floyd + Eagles

Read the news article (post 18) and enlighten yourself.

I am now corrected.
But I don't think I was that far off, the van was tailgating the pickup and the pickup swerved to avoid the cleaning truck, the van didn't make it.

Wrong picture, try again.

Enlighten me.
I am happy to be corrected if you have some more information .

I can picture the scene:
The van is pushing the pickup to go faster in the left lane , the pickup moves to the right lane and the van accelerates thinking he now has a clear road ahead..........NOT !!
I live near to the no. 1 highway north out of Bangkok ( close to where the van originated ) and I see it daily, it's like wacky races out there.
I don't know if these guys have a tight schedule or are trying to squeeze one more " run " in before home time .
I don't know what the answer is but the so called reforms made recently ( what reforms ? ) have done nothing to improve safety.

Khao Pad Krapow Talay
or anything with fried rice is good for me .

Seems like they were caught when they tried to enforce the law !!
Stood out like sore thumbs !!

Last week my gf asked me to visit her brother at the Ramathibodi Hospital, against my better judgement we took a van and the exact same route, Navanakorn to Victory Monument.

It's been six months since I've been in one of those vans and I can tell you nothing has changed, no seat belts and a feeling of complete vulnerability as the van hurtled down the highway.

Today we are visiting her brother again and yes I drove this time, and never complained about the traffic or finding a parking place !!

Van ? Never, ever again !!

 

Taking responsibility is there a Thai word for it if so it seems nobody knows the meaning.

Thai for "taking responsibility " is " mai pen rai " or so I am led to believe !

What about if someone if talking about marrying a Thai or entering some dodgy financial deal...................
........" heeeeeeere's Mobi !! "

You may know this chap - playing Crossroads with Bruce & Baker.

But did you know the original, centuries earlier....

About 11 years ago me and a colleague were working in Batesville, Mississippi and on a rest day decided to have a little drive around.

Well, we were driving in the middle of nowhere when we came upon this

 

 

in Clarksdale , Mississippi.

Allegedly the spot where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil so he could be able to play the blues.
