IIRC I pointed to the burger and said " Leum Ni Mai?" She then looked at the sales slip still in her hand with my change, and realized it was missing. Rang it up, and generated another sales slip, adjusted my change. Perhaps I was wrong pointing at the burger, I don't know. She did not look confused by my Thai. Or maybe she needed a "Kor tawt krap" as well.

Good one, but no.

I would assume every 7/11 has a built-in figure for wastage. Most retail businesses have it built into planning and pricing. If the wastage figure exceeds what is decreed by the bean-counters at head office in one location, that's when the secret shoppers and auditors move in.

Easiest way to preserve a cloth sofa is to cover it with blankets, and get the cat a scratching post.

Yes, the end is nigh........

More likely this will be his debating technique.........

Not homophobic, it's a question. Someone else opened the door.

I think I prefer the term ignore.

So do you like packing fudge, or having it packed for you?

Do you have a criminal record, that you are using the term so often?

I get it. You like big.

Perhaps you have never been passionate about anything, so you don't care. We all are different. IME people who are passionate about something usually achieve far more than those who are not.

I care when someone calls me a golf cheat, when I have played the game honestly for more than 60 years, winning championships fair and square. That poster is on my ignore list. As far as I am concerned, they can <deleted> themselves with the rough end of a pineapple.

Why not? Tell me why I should take sh!t from anybody. I bet you don't.

What thread would you like me to start, just to satisfy you?

I enjoy the ride on the scooter going back and forth between the village and 7/11, good roads, about 5 km each way. Safe riding, comparative to in town. i have my simple pleasures.

It's actually a miracle you've survived. I must have a masochistic streak.

Notice to all trolls I have on ignore: I occasionally peek at what you post. If it's inflammatory or a personal attack, I report it. You are wasting your time posting, because I won't respond, and regard you and your sniping attempts as lower than whale sh!t.

My Thai is quite understandable to most Thais, although it is Lanna Thai. You may be right, I can't expect good manners from everyone.

True. Perhaps I am too old, and come from an age where good manners were expected.

I might look serious, but I am not aggressive with Thais. Not smart at all.

A simple thank you would have sufficed. Happy you have posted your venom for the day?

Oh come on. The nuclear weapons were physically in Ukraine. You think the Ukrainians could not have cracked those codes? The Black Sea fleet has had to retreat from Sevastopol. Russian troops are terrorized by drones costing less than a couple of hundred dollars. To me, that says Ukrainians are quite ingenious people.

IIRC Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. If anyone is paying a price, it is Russia. * Inflation at 8.6% * A pariah state * An army that is a laughing stock. Ditto weapons. Riddled with corruption. * No foreign investment, except maybe the Chinese. Good luck with that. * Half a million dead. Human wave tactics. * Gas market to Europe - gone. Oil market severely restricted. * Primitive technological manufacturing capability. No-one knows if their nukes will even work. * A ruble no one wants, not even the Chinese. * An ageing workforce of scientists and engineers. Another 5 years of war in Ukraine, IMO Russia will be a failed state. Even if it stopped right now, it would take decades to rebuild to before 2022.

I am wrestling with the proposition Putin would be able to take out Biden from his grave.
