  1. Look out Nigel Farage will be opposition leader soon ....and P.M. next.but I wish he would get a new set of teeth first I'm sure he can afford it.
  2. What a stupid statement..weather records going back 138,000 years.when was the thermonitor invented ???? Absolute b.s.
  3. What California in got to do is get rid of the greenies that run the place and start doing controlled burns in the canyons and mountains and get the residents to move large trees and shrubs and long grass that is too close to their houses. I watched videos of the fires and the fire raced up the mountain and the row of houses backing on to it had dry grass and trees right up to their back patio The firies had no hope of saving those houses.they could only move away and watch them burn.Then there was the dry fire hydrants. !!! Thats another story.
  4. Good point about timber and other flammable materials in these houses but the fire was ferocious and and was pushed by a 100 mph wind and would have had a temperature in the thousand of degrees and I doubt even a steel frame and roofed house would have fared any better. In such a fire the steel in a building melts and buckles from the heat. I also I heard the reporters say that a lot of the mansions were many years old when timber was the main material.The whole reason this was so bad is that people had large trees and high dry grass in there back yard and all around which backed onto a hill. Also there was a lot of huge trees on the footpaths that caught fire and the wind blew the embers across the road and set that house on fire....but California is too green to clear any high grass and make fire breaks.
  5. Work for the dole was applied in several small country towns in Australia in 1998. In small towns where the was little employment and the council couldn't afford to employ all of the these workers they were put to work building footpaths,reparing roads, gardening ,cleaning up the streets etc,etc. It was very successful but I think it was curtailed because of pressure from the do - gooders who said that they shouldn't have to work and it's not fair as they can't sleep in until lunchtime every day.
  6. I can't believe that there were enough life jackets for all passengers. the last Thai boat I was on to Phi Phi there were about 100 on board and I could only see 6. When I asked a crew member where are all the life jackets he replied "don't need this good boat not sink.".
  7. Soi 6 would be a good start especialy if youv'e got a pocket full of money and if you ring the bell in a bar you will have a stack of instant friends and you will not get lonely.
  8. I wonder how much the family got in life insurance claims.???
  9. Nothing beats a dog burger.They are barking good.!!!!
  10. Seems to me that theres not much going on inside that head.
  11. The only tick- tock she should have worried about is the time ticking on her watch so that she didn't miss her flight instead of whinging about the price.
  12. Bobby you have got a very fertile mind.You are wasting your talents here. You should be in Hollywood working as a script writer on fantasty movies.
  13. First of all everyone has got to realise that the rents that shopkeepers have to pay are very expensive at airports and that is the same all over the world. Therefore they are have to charge more than normal.The lesson here for the whinging women is to check the price before she orders including any extras so there are no problems like that. It's a pity that she didn't miss her flight while she was arguring.
  14. She's a typical crazy thai drunk lady.The cctv cameras don't lie.She must be getting well paid by the boyfriend to try and take the blame for a farang over her fellow countryman.
  15. Who wrote that article ? I watched that press conference and when sleepy Joe said that he had good news in that he is now a Great Great Grandfather he went on to say it was a boy and then corrected himself and said girl. That's pretty good for Joe because he only had 2 choices but still got it wrong..don't be too hard on him he's still trying to remember the names of his family..With the vegetated state Joe is in it's a good thing that Trump is incoming because the world is in a mess with conplicts and since the election he's sat on the beach all day. All these madhouse leaders in Russia, China, Nth. Korea and in the Middle East have been too scared to make a move because noboby knoes what he will do when he gets the code to the red button again. Intresting times.!!!
  16. Yeah nothing like it was 30 years ago.It is now totally ruined !!
  17. I don't think Thailand has much choice in selecting a casino operator (if it ever happens ) because most of them are run by chinese chinese. I suppose they could try inviting Donald Trump...but wait a minute didn't his casino or casinos go bankrupt ???
  18. I reckon Mr.Ping in China will be getting a phone call from the orange man soon.
  19. I would suggest to all you whingers out there who don;t like the the 10% service charge. Eat sreet food . Not only does it taste good but they don.t charge +10%.
  20. To say that if staff don.t get their share of the 10% surcharge is a ridiculous statement.The would decides who gets what and he may even keep the lot for his retirement.The only way to ensure that a staff member who has given good service is to screw up the Baht note in your hand and put it in their hand as you leave.
  21. I think she would be too stupid to take a lesson from that. Any parent that pays someone for the privilidge of putting their child at risk obviously has cottonwool for brains.
  22. The attitude of these idiot foreigners bring with them wnen they travel to an overseas country is because of a breakdown in society in western countries of respect for the law and order. In Australia crime is out of control in most states particularly juveniles but not limited to them.These kids as young as 10 are running rampant breaking into houses, stealing cars and ramming police cars and other cars on the road and committing armed robberies and carjackings .Their parents cannot control them and they don't attend school and just do whatever they want because the judical system is so weak. So when they go overses they think that that is normal accepted behaviour but come unstuck when thry go to a country with a stricter policy on law and order.
  23. Oh Bobby..having wet dreams again aer we ???
  24. I bet the Btits are getting upset with the idiot Aussies taking all the limelight for stupidity.
