  1. Watching something this morning from Vietnam. Guy was growing coffee, and ripped it out and planted pepper. He doesn't bother with white pepper, too much work. But he said the world's fast food craze is driving the price.

  2. Mosha are you talking about the puppeteer? If so, Yes hes got a kid there and another mrs. Theres been many pics on thai websights. Many have been shut down due to the nature of the posts,pics ect. Deffinately not the type of pics a person in that position would be proud of. One would expect more class,but apparently not to be.
    I asked my mrs if they were photo shopped but she swears they not.
    Its very obvious thais have no respect for this 1. This really worries me,when it comes to security of the country.

  3. Scott i feel u r the really smart 1 here. Cashing almost everything in. According to my very astute wife is probably the best thing to do. The way the country is headed is not good. Look at any country run for too long by a military.
    My wife has engineers with great qualifications working in high paid positions, these people havnt had a payrise in 3 years. Price of everything going up.
    Be very careful and aware,things could be going to get a lot tougher. It may be wise to cash major assets in and be ready to make a nasty decision to stay or leave. Going back to the west isnt a great idea,but neither is living in a Zimbabwe style country.
    The puppeteer if u know who im talking about has a house in germany,and is ready to bailout at any time. I cant say the name as ill be kicked off tv.
    Im not trying to scare u guys just give an opinion based on knowledge of people i highly respect. Forewarned is forearmed.
    Take care guys.

    He was there until about 6 weeks ago. Many of our friends don't know that, including my missus.

  4. Mercedes F1 team robbed at gun point in Brazil...
     

    Lewis Hamilton says he was "upset" by news that personnel from his Mercedes team were robbed at gunpoint in Sao Paulo on Friday night.

    A van of Mercedes workers was held up on the road away from the Interlagos track. No-one was hurt in the incident.

    Hamilton said: "Gun shots fired, gun held at one's head. This is so upsetting to hear.

    This seems to happen every year in Brazil.
    of course they can beef up security, for FIA and F1 teams but a near impossible to keep the fans safe.
     FIA should say adiós to Brizil, but I suppose it is a case of money talks, just nuts to to continue with Brazil on the calender.
    Pirelli cancel test after another attack.

  5. Massa to retire     ...again
     
    I have now enjoyed four great years with the team, but my career in Formula One will finally come to an end this season
    Felipe Massa
    The Brazilian, whose 267 Grand Prix starts are the sixth most in history, was initially scheduled to leave the F1 grid at the end of 2016, but was tempted back to Williams when Valtteri Bottas moved to Mercedes.
    Williams confirmed last month that Massa was one of several drivers under consideration for a 2018 race drive alongside Lance Stroll, but the 36-year-old has now confirmed that the upcoming races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi will be his last.

    I wonder if he'll get this seasons car as a parting gift? 555

  6. I think coffee needs altitude. And the right climate. That set up would probably work well in the NW. Here in Isaan, people have tried it, lost a bunch of money. Nobody seems to do well with it around here. Possibly not only lack of altitude, but soil conditions too? Maybe Loei would be the nearest it would work; good soil, higher...
    Does very well in Laos and Vietnam.
    Depends what you mean by altitude. When my MIL came to live in La-Un. Coffee was the main crop. Anywhere to 10m to 100m above sea level. She was among the 1st to grow rubber here.
