  1. Had that happen with cheap plastic chairs that are split, now I carefully check chairs before I sit down, and I'm not fat by any means.
  2. In the UK you are called sir but I never experienced that in OZ.
  3. Agree in the UK they have 'community police' and that is their job to mediate at a local level, a bit like a Pu Yai Ban here.
  4. Your whataboutisms weren't helpful. That would happen in Thailand as well as in Vic. I can't comment on why they singled you out as I wasn't there, but have you considered that there might have been other reasons not related to speed? Noise from your "old hog" perhaps? I think you know, but haven't told the whole story as yet. In fairness, this whole forum is full of whataboutisms. Content would drop by about 90% if we didn't have something to whinge about. I think the main point is Australian Police are rude and aggressive from the start. Having a speed gun pointed at me through the window, on being stopped, with the comment " 'allo Dick head" sounds funny now but when you have been used to polite police as here and the UK, I understand his point. Aggression leads to Aggression.
  5. That has always been the same for me in Trat Every Year for a decade, wife AND witness interviewed (have to take witness on day of applying) same on home visit, so it's nothing new to me.
  6. Of course they do fred sooo many Thais read this, ...........
  7. Guess they had to wait until he was on British soil before they could 'Officially' arrest him. I doubt he traveled alone. init.
  8. A,dolf strikes again. or is it Big Nok.
  9. Worms/larvae from moths tracks/fruit fly. Bacterial infection but safe to eat.
  10. In 'other related' news; A Thai man is now suffering from stress after being told to move, in a press release, he said " I was quietly sitting on the ground resting my back, looking at my phone, when this rabid falang, told me to move as I stood up I slipped and kicked his gate the pain made me swear out loud'' ..............
  11. How long did the bank staff get for collaboration?
  12. Oh how very surprising, him up there don't want them running the country at any cost. Got to keep his money coming in.
  13. I can understand that in a way, BUT as I have said before every time this story is regurgitated Thousands of goods that are made in China are simply not made in Thailand, especially some electrical items, from remotes to eclectic bikes and beyond. Plastic goods, bedroom slippers, dash cams, also UBS leads........etc. etc.
  14. Globy I think you are on your period Bloby is your real name.
  15. Is it draining outside ?
  16. NONE, 'cept you can stay I year, then get another years extension. Health care costs us all the same even on a marriage extension. You can chose very expensive private hospitals/insurance rip off places. Or use a government hospital, and pay them a fraction of the price, there are some very good government hospitals.
  17. Shhh don't tell everyone he came back, let them try to learn how to read and keep up with the news.
  18. I preferred the 'Full Monty' movie. Brilliant Movie. ( in the dole office)
