Hey Rooster !!! ??? AY ONE ! ? ... Do you know how to stop that Bloody annoying subscription page coming up when you open the AN site and will not go away for Ages ? ... Well over a minuet of so for me I guess. ??? It is Yellowy / Orange in Color ??? ... and has subscribe and I am not a robot boxes available on it ? ... (Maybe if I hit subscribe and it might remove it it self after it tells me that I am already subscribed !!! ???

Well this is the only bit that I can accept or even understand re your last Line. ... Sounds like Hollywood ??? ... ... I likely situation here very well !!! ... and I like the Thais also !!! .... Like they DO make it possible for me (For us all ???) so I am very grateful for this and just get on with them. ... How about you ???

Sorry Mate that one was to Rooster him self. I must have pushed the wrong button. Sorry Mate.

Good try at trying to deflec the point away from the real Issue at hand, but there are enough other people that will just stick with it on this one I think and can see ! And Greatest thanks to the Intelligent. And lets just hope !!! For more of this. ( And he just does NOT get voted back in. !!! )

I was always impressed to Hear about your Honda 250 Cub exploits is it ? ... Nice one ! A good Biker ! Who still Rides !! Good for you !!! Like Old Bikers do not need Drivers !!! ... (And every one gets used to that (Deleted) road down past Pattier right ! ? Sooner or later. ...)

Yes Good Plan Mate ! ... As Usual.... Gooo Rooster ! Now a Video Presenter !!! Now all we have to do is be able to send Ya ! Videos back ! Right !!

Unless you happen to be a Company that needs spares in the day ? Or a Lorry Driver. Like they all can not come in to BKK during the day I think or at peak hours and mist use the ring roads any way. And in Songklan the big holiday they are banned from all roads I think for ??? 1 to 3 ??? ... I can not remember the exact figure but there is not a lory to be seen as every one goes back home up country for several days ! ... and the Drivers all get a holiday ! ... well With out pay of course I would think ? ...

I think that the Thai drivers are very considerate Drivers considering how many people there are on the rosds ! Well near where I live they are any way. And the new Video they force you to watch to just renew your licence ! Is pretty good also. They are actually Society cooperative people you know ! Like that is why it is so good to live here !!! You just got to learn there Rules !!! Rule one do nit Bend any one else's car. Rule 2 do not slow any one else down. ... Rule 3 follow most of the other rules !!! ...But alwsys be tolerant if some one messes up and misses them once in a while. Never go through any intersection gren lught ir not ! With out looking both ways any wsy !!! . like you can pull off some Ginormous Trafic violations your self !!! ...Like you have to some tomes as it is just so fast and crowded. ... But just make sure that you miss every one else !!! ... And do not slow the trafic flow down ... and they will not take any notice of you. So in short just use your Inteligence and Brains !!! ... spacial perception ... Learn ! ... And be courteous to them also ... and you will be Fine !!! Like 80 million people here now most with Cars !!! ... So they know ! That basicly we ALL ate in the same heave trafic !!! (Deleted) bag !!! ... So they WILL cooperate with you if you are considerate also I am sure. .... ... like find them very Considerate.

Yes I think that we might have been seeing things on two very different pieces of Highway. ... Where we are is les than 100 k north of the Bangkok outskirts. ... So the traffic out, has just cleatd the trsfic jam and co gestipn and has a relatively clear road ahead of them !!! ... So well they all are pretty Happy Chapies as they speed up as they pass Ayutthaua and head off up further North. And the other way ... there is still clear road ! ... And it is probably a lot safer to drive hear near Ayutthaua ... than further North. Like Asia Highway is 4 lanes wide in places around there you k ow so plenty of room for Trucks Overtaking Trucks ! That are Overtaking Other Trucks. And the fast lane is very rarely blocked. And then it is just down to 100 usually ? Or 80 on rare occasions. Like still fast !!! Like I really like the fast lane, is just concentrate, and stay on the ball and I actually think that it is safer than the other lane !!! ...u Like all drivers in it ! Seem to be Driving with the same mind set where I drive at least ?Any way ! ? But I have driven down that Pattaya / Ko Chung way a few times ! And yes it Is / Was !!! Pretty bad. My step son drives a truck and he says the section past Chonbury entering and in the Pattaya ares ...is the worst Section that he has to drive. And Yes ! Having any thing to do with the Trump Fiasco ! Is just like Inviting a War in to your Living room !!! ... So I can see why you would keep out of it. ... And So Should I. ... Really. I can see why you took a Servatical !!! I have been blogging like a mad man for only a couple of days afterthe Markets all went down !!! .... But I now think that I also need a holiday from it !!! So I had better get off and have a go at that !!! Shouldn't I !!! Thanks. Can't say that I will always watch you ! ? But well it is ok also. So,Thanks. OWS ... Once Was Steptoe.

Trucks, Overtaking Trucks, that are over taking Trucks !!! ... They are just Poor men truing to make a Living Rooster !!! Like they would probably prefer to be a Scrabble Champion, siting in A/C and Translating Thai news articles in to English like you do. ... But well they can not. ...They just have to go out on to the Roads and Drive their trucks, to be able to bring home the Food and Hopefully a few Extras for their Families. And getting to the Ware houses down near the Ports ( Which you were driving past on your way to Co Chung ? I would guess, ) and then getting their loads back up to the distribution points, back up country, is how that do this, so well some times they DO have to over take each other, and move out to the right or well if the left is Pot holed they might do tis to reduce the damage to their trucks ! ... In order to accomplish this economically. Maybe just TOO manny Rats in the Box !!! (Over Population ? ) could be looked at as to why a lot of things now, Are Misfunctioning ??? Though well ...On On Mate !!! ... have a loot at the Donald Trump is ready to try and start a revolution Thread for a laugh !!!! ? ...

OK. Nice, Thanks, ... From us all I hope. ... Thinking People ??? Well this <deleted> is just SO decisive, still that is how he does it, Ceases Power I guess. ? and probably nothing new Really ? ... Like this sort of <Deleted> was Probably going on back in Roman time right "Et Yuo Too Brutus" ... etc. .. Right ?

Well looks like I messed up that last Link ! ... Try this one !!! https://twitter.com/i/status/1622571997636005888

Well I really should be doing something else !! .... But well ??? .... https://twitter.com/IslandGirlPRV/status/1622571997636005888/mediaviewer

Well He probably was not a Drunken Truck Driver as originally claimed in the Go Fund me <deleted> !!! Like he probably was just a poor Innocent Thai ! ... who the Lonnie from Manchester ran in to while talking to his girl friend on the Phone. (So the Cops just told him to go home ??? Very un professional this go fund me and the whole story actually I think.

… And I like your accent, … Something like a Greenwich Accent ? – Say North of North London, and West of Greenwich ? … … Please excuse my Auzzie from the Boats ignorance here, if I am wrong ! ? … Like somewhere North East of London ??? OK ? Just off hand ? Maybe if I listen to you a few more times I might get some other Ideas ??? This IS all part of Thailand I think ! ? Every time I meet an English man You know !!! I could guess what part of the UK that a lot of the Crew came from when I was out on the Boats, … Like well like I have had close to 40 Years listening to them Right ! ? … … But When I guessed a Bloke that came from ? … Wigan, … I really thought that I MUST have made it right ???? … As though I did not know the Name, … but I just said “Somewhere in between Liverpool and Manchester” ? Right ? (Our Agent, Always said that he was on the Motor way when we phoned him about our pay !!! Though I always thought that he just was in his office and had got up and Opened the window ??? Right ??? … Wigan ?) So now you have Video … You could you vary it a bit, with other English speakers, in as Guests to read various Bits …. In all, of the Really REALLY Great UK accents ! … Like educate some of us Mate !!! … Like have a bit of Jodie From Newcastle ? … and then the Tyne side ? (Like it Muusst Be Different ! ? ) … and the West Country of course … and then some Welsh !!! …. and well then the Real show stopper !!! … and then hit them with some Souse !!! … (From Liverpool right ? … Like Cilia Black and the windmills of our Minds ! ? ) … And bring it back down home to London Right ? which could be another two weeks of Episodes !!! ??? Like So then take this opportunity !!! To Really educate us all !!! … So well ? When All we Thai Burn out, long stayers, and tourists meet an English ? … No UK tourist, … IN a THAI bar, … or in A Thai street or on the beach !!! … We CAN appreciate their very VERY Unique Language !!! That I am Sorry to say !!!... That is all then I really take any notice of when I meet them Any way Right !!! ??? Har Har !!! Once Was Steptoe. (My Real Nick Name) And Good Luck with the new Video Blogs. ...

Nice one Rooster, … a new way. ... Go for it. ! ... ( Though yes, I DID like the Week That Was a lot also. ) I am not too sure about every day ! Like I do not have that much Time OR concentration span either. ... And I AM usually always Busy through the week. ... Though well a Push Feed notification to our Boxes might help you. Changing the frequency to every day ? … Well that Probably will necessitate a change of Content ? ... I like your Social Content greatly, and you comments on that !!! ... But I do not care all that much about the Politics ? ... as they always are the same ??? …. Well I think so ... Just about Bad !!! …. or Much worse ??? … Usually. ? … Yes you are Rooster, and NOT Bernard Trink !!! (And you are British, and Not American also !!!) … So well take this new Medium between your Teeth and Go with it !!! ... And Good Luck with it also.

And Ps. Just back from the Local Hospital, and the Lumps off of my Face and arms look Clean ! … “Looks” ? Pretty Clearly ?…Not like Melanoma. … So he says … In at 8.00 … got a park, (Like 3 out of the 4 Floors in their parking station are parked out by People actually laying there in the Hospital I think !!! … So if you do not get there before 8.15 ? OR 9 !!! …. You will not get one of the few parks Left on the roof, … I think ??? … Just a bit of helpful local Knowledge there you know, … and well ! … They have new machines there now, like if you have a Booking or continuing case, … You just show it the Bar Coad, entre your Phone number, and push the Button, and you then get a Queue Number !!! … So well, the earlier you get there ! The lower number you get ! … And well I was there at 8.30, and I was in and out in an Hour and a half I think ! And I was, Just so, SOOO Grateful, at the service that I had forgotten that they actually had just looked at the stitched ! … said “OK” and come back next week !!! … So I am starting to get a bit afraid that the Doctor likes seeing me !!! … And will keep on Bringing me back ! … Though well at 67 This would not be too bad a Thing I guess, … As I am going to end up being there quite a bit from now on any way I think. … Met a Really smashing Chinese Lady in the waiting room !!! (Like Nice … <Pleasantly Deleted> !!! … And taught her Smart Daughter a bit of English !!! Like I was nearly falling over my Chair Leaning towards her, and well she was Loving it, … and just getting closer and closer to me also ! … And then they called my Number ??? … Like I wonder if they were watching us, and did that deliberately !!! ??? … So I di not accidently Fall off my Chair and land on her !!! … Yes I like going to hospital around here. … … Later when I was in a different place, waiting for next week’s appointment, … Her Daughter Caught my Eye, when her Mother was looking the other way !!! … She was only about 10 I think ? … Well a bit more I guess maybe 15 ? … But she smiled ! Right, … and made an OK symbol with her Fingers !!! …. … Pointed at her Mother, who was still not looking, … And Gave me a Thumbs Up !!! … Like Hmmm, … TIT I guess. … So I gave her Mother my Card, … Though well if my Wife finds out !!! … Well there will be No divorce I am sure !!! … But there COULD be a bit of Blood Shed I think though, Still, … another good excuse to get out and meet another new woman in the Local Hospital again !!! ??? … God Bless “Exciting Thailand” ??? is that the new TAT Catch theme , No … “Amazing Thailand” Right … Like they could have made part of that commercial over there in the Ayutthaya general Hospital Waiting room this Morning I think ??? … For Sure !!!

Well it is implied I think ! And well , probably about the only really practical way around here ! ? ... Unless you want to loose every thing that you have left !!! ? .

Yes Thanks Mate ! And yes that is very good to know ! ... ( Politics ? Diplomacy ? ! ?? In action, even back then ! ) .. Thanks.

yes, it probably means that we have to watch out in a LOT of places now !!! .... "chest pains or red blotches" !!! .... Nice !!!

"They found a little "ice" that she kept for her personal use." .... Oh My Goodness !!! .... "a little "ice" that she kept for her personal use" ... Unbelievably Casual a statement. I think ??? .... and Probably her Son, or Grand sons. ? ...

Good Points Fellows !!! ..... ... Re paying with a 1,000 B Note ! ? Last time I was in Nana Plaza, ? I paid with what I thought was a 100 ? But out there in those Drinking places in the Middle, ... I did start thinking that there MUST ? ... Could ? ... be a special sort of ? Color of Light that would make a 1,000 note Look pretty much like a 100 !!! ... I have No idea if I was Cheated or not, but well She made the Note I gave Her as I dicked around in my wallet, ... Disappear real fast !!! .... and then took a Real 100 out of her Purse and held it up in an Obvious way ... and demanded the next 40 B was it for the Bill ??? .... Like I just Have NO idea if I was Cheated or Not, NO IDEA. ... But well in that Light, I decided that well YES I really could not tell the difference between a 1,000 and a 100 !!! ??? ... and well her obviously movement of the money in to her Purse, and then back out again ? ... Possibly a different note, from a different place I did feel !!! ... Well this DID make me pretty suspicious ... Like 67 and only so so Eyes .]and Obviously so !!! ... But Years of Experience !!! .... and I WAS quite suspicious but well the Deal was Done, ... I had no idea how much money I should have had in my wallet, so nothing to be done. ... Just be suspicious ??? and well think about this Lighting problem re 1,000 notes and 100's !!! .... and well !!! IF I was just being a paranoids Old <Deleted> Again ??? Like the Bars would not experiment with their Lighting ! ? Would they ! ? and then find the Colour and shade that made picking the difference between 1,000 and a 100 almost Impossible ??? Would they ??? ??? ... Just a thought Fellows !!! ...

Well, have not seen your Column this week R ! ??? ... I DO hope that you are OK. ... Like who will be able to chip in a bit of good English Slang if you are not around !!! ... Like we will just be left with the Advertisements ? ... Right ??? ... ... Though yes !!! a Bit less Content from me also might help I guess, so well. .... Working on it.

So well this Guy F's up Royaly. ... And now his Family are trying to get him back to the UK so that they can get him on the free NHS I guess ... For the rest of the Huge time and Bill it looks like taking. ??? Possibly just to keep him alive. I feel sorry for the Thai Driver you know !!! Like they all do not just walk out their doors drunk, and saying "Lets go out and get a Forigner" ... Like the rest of us !!! ... They walk out the door and say "Phewwww Let's Get Home" !!! ... And then they come around a corner ? ... Or out of the general Gloom of 3 am on the Morning ! ... And there is a Foreigner !!! (From any where) ... With no helmut, drunk and on his Phone to his girl friend, ... Parked or just going too slowly, in the wrong part of the Road !! !!!!! In front if him ! !! And I just say to the people who are trying to get ? Over 20% of their GDP out of Tourism !!!! ... Well THIS ! IS What IS going to happen !!! ... If you keep on doing this ! And it would happen Any where. There was a French Woman on Holidays in Australia near my home once who just drove out of the Camping ground, ... turned Right I think and went straight on to the wrong side of the road ! ... Like she would in France ! ... And then took off at speed !!! ... And ran straight in to the front of a local woman who was just taking her Daughter to School ! ... ( I think ) And the local woman at least? I think ? Was just killed Out right on the spot. ( Though this was a pretty long tome ago now ) But Put Tourists on and in Motor Viechrls ! ... In Strange places ! ... Like particularly in Thailand !!! ... And then you ARE !!! Going to have quite a bit of trouble like this !!! I think ? For sure.

At great risk to the Management !!! ... Catholics have a lit if zchildren Don't they. ???
