Burma Bill

Congratulations and I envy you. During the short period of democracy I visited Mandalay twice, Bagan once and Rangoon three times. I found Burma a very friendly and fascinating country. Plans to visit thesedays were scuppered by the latest Junta. All my visits were by Air Asia's "Fly-thru" from Khon Kaen. I do not think I would be allowed in now, being a retired member of the UK Police Service.

Gheckos are harmless and are beneficial in controlling flying insects such as mosquitoes (as you quite rightly stated). For reference (Google) The only thing I have found that not only kills geckos, but really turns them off, and gets them to move on is insect spray. I have had huge geckos in my home before. They are hard to catch. I sprayed them directly on the face with an ample amount of insect spray, and it seemed to really dull them and slow them down.

Utter rubbish truck driver! How can you be driving normally to end up crashing into the school vehicle whilst it was picking up students going to school? Glued to your smartphone?

Sadly, not much to see I would have thought. RIP truck driver.

What a laugh - now his ambition is well and truly "down the Swanee"!

Thanks, my thought as well. How about this in Nairobi, Kenya - so fa, so good!

Ten passengers on a double deck bus - hardly profitable!

It has definitely been reported in an "unmentionable" Thai media outlet. I read about it here in Cambodia. The Thai Transport Ministry is planning to target motorcyclists not wearing helmets. This includes both driver and pillion passenger. Offenders will have to attend a series of relevent road safety lectures. Motorcycle dealers will be required to sell 2 crash helmets per bike they sell. For reference (the only I could find) https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2897948/transport-minister-plans-road-safety-campaign-for-motorcyclists Moderators - please remove this reference if it does not comply. My apologies in advance.

Absolutely spot on - it was Hilda Baker.

Two other great UK comedians and entertainers

Could be very interesting -

Oh Mister Wu What should I do........... Chinese Laundry Blues (George Formby UK entertainer)

A successful assassination - soon!!

IMO Condor's livery looks ghastly. One of these painted on each side of the fuselage would look more appropriate -

As we did back in 1066 - the last time England was "invaded". Soon put a stop to the inflatables!

I have heard of "leg over" but "leg down" - different!!

Personally, never heard of this brand, but for reference

I agree, along with Pattaya and Bangkok! (no further comment from me)

Joe Rogan Who the hell is he? As a UK citizen I have never heard of him until today.

You are perfectly correct, the article is wrong. I use the Si Saket - Choam border crossing.
