Yes, they like to order several dishes to share.  But, what surprised me is the food waste here.  Even in the rural areas ordering many dishes at restaurants, then 1/2 of it to waste.  And, they don't seem big on doggie bags.  But. even if they take it back home it usually is not eaten and goes to waste.

Depends how and where you live, We have dogs and lots of chickens, Zero food waste at my house

None of these numbers seem to add up, According to  the WHO, there are about 20,000 road fatalities a year in thailand, which works out to about 55 per day. 162 over 4 days is 40 per day, and yet it is pretty certain that the numbers are higher than normal over the Songkran week.  Even if we take Thailands official numbers for 2022. this works out to 40 per day, which is exactly on par wth the daily average based on Thailand own numbers, yet even the Thai government say it is higher during this week. It doesnt add up, Someone is doing something dodgy with the numbers

What you are referring to is the informal meaning of the word. That has been created because people have made it popular, or a trend, of using the word that way. It was never the intention or the original meaning. Below you have the original meaning of the word, that still rules and are right.

 

adjective

sick (adjective) · sicker (comparative adjective) · sickest (superlative adjective)

1. affected by physical or mental illness:

   "nursing very sick children" · "half my staff were off sick" · "visiting the sick and the elderly"

   • relating to those who are ill:
     "the company organized a sick fund for its workers"
   • (of an organization, system, or society) suffering from serious problems:
     "the British economy remains sick"
2. feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit:

   "he was starting to feel sick" · "Mark felt sick with fear"

   • (of an emotion) so intense as to cause one to feel unwell or nauseous:
     "he had a sick fear of returning"

     However, I did not expect any other comment from you, as posts of this kind are your highest standard.

Language is a constantly evolving and changing thing, do you still prefer to speak the language of Shakespeare?

Just as the Conservative Party had settled in, eh?

 

Evidence, if ever it was needed, that this sort of entrepreneurial behaviour can only happen under the Tories.

Always some idiot gotta bring politics into it. This probably isnt as bad as the Child prostitution ring started in 2008 In rochdale, when the labour party was in power.  Blows you dumb theory out of the water!

Completely wrong on every level. Insurance companies want nothing more than "to oblige by the terms of the policy"

 

The problem is people step outside those terms and then whine when claims are denied

 

Popular misnomer that insurance companies dont want to pay. Nothing fosters goodwill and repeat business more than a properly administered claim but what most people completely fail to grasp is that the acturies expect a certain level of claims over any given period and premiums reflect that already

 

I worked in Insurance for 6 years

 

 

 

 

The statistics say otherwise. In 2021 the Insurance Ombudsman in the UK upheld the claims of 28% of the people wo made a claim that there insurance claims for motor insurance had unfairly been rejected. A large number of rejected claims are not even taken to the Ombudsman, so in reality the number of unfairly rejected claims is much higher

How did he get bit on the lip? was it an overly passionate kiss?
