OP. What is OCD? Why are you too lazy to print the words??

Why are you too lazy to Google it?

I have an argument going on right now over my house in the UK which had been rented out to a tenant. I paid an agency to fully manage the property but they failed to carry out maintenance as requested by the tenant. The agent also failed to inform me of the problems. First thing I knew was when I got a message the tenant was moving out due to lack of maintenance.

Now tenant does not want to pay for repairs or cleaning or maintenance and agent is being evasive. Deposit was supposed to be in a tenancy deposit scheme, but it appears the agency has that.

No one wants to be responsible.... (sounds just like Thailand).

How did the Council manage to do the work without your permission?

Council tax is usually the tenants responsibility so it would be in his name. Therefore Council may have assumed he was the owner.

the official policy regarding compulsory quarantine appeared to have changed once more, with officials saying no compulsory quarantine order was in place. 

Shambolic reversal only goes to prove someone does not know what they are doing.

The news comes as the number of coronavirus infections in Thailand has remained relatively low, at a time when the number of infections reported by other countries have surged.

Is there something they are not telling us? Nah, nothing to see here.

make sure they pay attention to the direction of rotation arrow on the sidewall or they might put them on backwards.

Many tyres are directional and have a bloody great arrow pointing direction of rotation. You would not think a tyre shop could fit the tyre the wrong way around but TiT! The other dangerous thing Thais do is fit the wrong size tyre for the wheel..... Duh, it hurts my brain.

30 meter rope.... 40 meter cliff.... I guess she reached the end of her rope.

A thermometer will not stop you getting the virus.

Better to curtail your visits to various dens of iniquity...... You need to stay at home or wear a Hazmat suit when making love.

How the "blind watchmaker" of evolution failed to evolve organs of reproduction located far enough away from organs of excretion to avoid admixture of wet stuff ... well, maybe it was just design constraints.

Indeed it makes one wonder about God and his design for humans. With woman, he put the pleasure gardens between the water works and the sewage farm!

Riding a vehicle everywhere has adverse effects on your physical and mental well being. 

Living with the Thais has adverse effects on your physical and mental well being! (Especially mental).

As for bikes, only today I watched two young Thai boys, I guess about 10 years old, speeding on a motorcycle. The one riding pillion was controlling the throttle.

And do Thais also hold the world record for number of people on a bike? I have seen seven.

It also does not seem to bother them when they fall off, they do not seem to feel pain? Oh well, where there is no sense there is no feeling.

Savvy's never came with a manual in Thailand, as far as I recall. What do you intend fitting to it? It seems like a lot of effort for a budget car. 

You also would have difficulty selling it later as most Thais drive an automatic

Immigration is where people gather every day.  How about letting people not do their 90 day and TM30 reporting to reduce numbers and increase safety

Are we expecting common sense to prevail in Thailand?

(Wanna get rapid service and jump the queue at immigration? Just start sneezing and see what happens).

I visited the one in Rangsit and only found parts for trucks. Was I in the right place? Anyone got a map?

and worldwide taxation but it's much more relaxed for visa runs as it's solely a tourist place. 

How do they enforce the worldwide taxation? (Note, it is found in Bali as well, but I have yet to learn how it is enforced?)

Amazing Thailand....

Prostitution is illegal, but only foreign girls get rounded up.

Foreign girls hooking is bad for the precious Thai image. Thai girls hooking is not?

I am surprised we don't have to fill out a TM 30 to go with a girl.

Do I need a work permit for my hard-on?

Its a blip that will bounce back. An overreaction to a virus that will burn itself out. Question is timing ... when to buy the dip?
