Worship your Lord (Lard) as you see fit but don't expect us all to grovel and show fealty.

Yes. A bit like that. So why do you do it? Does it live in your head rent free and just burst put sometimes when you can't think of a cogent response?

That might be cute if you had just made it up. But you didn't and it is just another worn out and over-used go-to infantile retort that means nothing. Are you pretending Trump doesn't live in your head, and worse, your heart? It's like walking around with dogs**t on your heel and everybody except you can smell it. Carry on.

Very true. I opened a bank account in Singapore and canada about 15 years ago while living in America. It was an arduous process but I endured because I could see where it was all going. Now it's all but impossible for Americans to open offshore accounts without being present in the foreign country and even then it's hard. The banks just don't want to open anemic accounts because of all the USA documentation required. Be aware that the day is coming soon where more capital controls will be imposed by many countries making expatriating your money from your home country difficult. Plant an international banking flag now! Beyond that now is the time to take advantage of the Kingdom's 'no records required' attitude to stack some beautiful Thai jewelry and keep it out of the system. Financial monitoring/reporting is NOT going to loosen.

Good times ahead! It's pretty easy to see how improving alcohol availability would enhance the entire Pattaya Experience for tourists and locals alike. Let's be honest. The more alcohol involved the better everything goes. When in doubt double down! I've only been there once on an afternoon and left an hour later but it's clear from numerous news articles that I'm missing so much non-stop fun and excitement every day (and night). I really must find time to fully immerse myself in the revelry.

We are legion.

Surely you are aware that your favorite epithet works both ways. Your obsession is showing.

Actually no. You are a celebrity only in your own mind.

Buy another one on lazada and install it. Fittings are universal. I bought one just to monitor water filling my pool.

Thank you. The most germane reply to the OP yet. Don't take those steps before repairs start and you're tossing the dice.

I'm so tired of articles that start out with headlines like this. Look, the man gets up in the morning and opens his mouth and a bunch of crap falls out. It happens every day and it will continue happening for quite a while.But there's no reason to take any of it very seriously. Of course he does do a lot of bad things but there's no reason to believe that these were plans that he had. He just likes to make commotion and gain attention.

Agreed. Should apply to drugs, abortion, body weight, and so many other things. Except pain never enters my mind. I wouldn't do it because it just looks infantile and disgusting. Looks like a bird ate raspberries and then barfed on their arm or leg. It's also my mind and I have a good cringe and then a laugh inside my mind looking at some of these folks and trying to guess why they think it looks so cool. Same as obese people pretending they can be both fat and healthy and that plus size women are beautiful too. But again, it's their body but I don't have to buy into their self-deception. It's their right to do it and my right to be entertained by it, especially since I care not at all whether it helps or hurts them. Most of them seem desperate to prove something though and just want the attention it brings. The faded, stretched, and sagging ones on the old folks are especially laughable and I even feel a short twitch of sympathy for them. I always wonder if they are still proud of themselves for getting them. The cartoons I watched as a kid portrayed Africans wearing grass skirts with curly hair and bones in their noses. Tats still amuse me the same way. Some obscure native tradition. The world is full of strange folks and these are just a subset, no reason to think of them as any more or less than that. To say it's popular and growing is stretching the truth a bit though.

And you are of course qualified to make such judgments. I forget now if your profession is medicine or psychology. Please inform us.

Unless he gets it confused with Greenland.

Thank you for stating the obvious, which hasn't been obvious in the reply posts before yours. 1. If the piston rings leak the oil is burned, exhaust is dirty. 2. If it goes into the antifreeze ports through the head gasket, then it will eventually show up in radiator overflow bottle. 3. If it's not burned or in the antifreeze then it leaked. 4. It's leaking around the valve cover gasket and must eventually run down over the engine and hit the ground. Put some cardboard under the car when it's parked and even run the engine for a few minutes. If it leaks you will know it. There are no other possibilities except magic.
