They are everywhere, things are not what they used to be. Sigh.

Police doubtless could not arrest the he/she for theft or prostitution as neither exist on Walking Street. But could arrest the Lao for being a Farang without a work permit. Amazing Thailand.

Some Land Transport offices, like Chatuchak, have a Police department. You'll get pulled when you go to do your tax. Same happens when buying a vehicle from someone else, you go to transfer it into your name only to find that the seller had unpaid tickets.

Da Roadrunner uses an office which lacks a Police dept. Just as well with my record! If I get a ticket I just bin it, isn't Thailand wonderful.

Police are also trying to trace a woman who was leaving Mr Faust’s villa.....

..... with a roll of duct tape in her hand.

Did he have a work permit and visa for this er,.... occupation?

Could it be the spring (not the shock) that is too stiff for a light rider?

Pardon my ignorance, but why bother? What use is the yellow book once you've got it?

I hate to remind you of your own profile words..... " You can't change it........ so why bother. "

So quit beating yourself up over it, life's too short. Go out, have a beer and fun with the girls. Ooops, it says you are in Dubai?

Anyone know if we can get Arsenal (imazapyr) in Thailand. 

It seems you can use it to hack and squirt to kill trees. That would be the easiest.

Could you learn to co-exist with the flora and fauna of this world? Or perhaps you could spray yourself with this stuff.

I need to transfer funds from US$ or UK£ to top up for my 800K, plus enough to live on and keep Lady Roadrunner in the manner to which she is accustomed.

Considering the strength of the Baht, it makes sense to transfer into Thai FCD accounts and wait for the exchange rate to improve before transferring into Baht.

Not protected by the Deposit Protection Agency? Risk is small, pick one of the biggest banks.

Can anyone confirm Immigration CW are accepting FCD's? Or is this another one that depends on the whim of the individual IO?

Has anyone managed to get a retirement visa at CW using a FCD account?

They are quite impervious to Roundup as well.

You are growing tea and using poisonous Roundup? Let us all know what brand your tea is so we can avoid the poison.

As for the trees, man has chopped down too many already, damaging the ecology of the planet.

Is it going to be like it was during the war when everything was scarce and rationed? Fear not, Boris will save us! (If he's all we've got, we are in trouble). All the blundering buffoon cares about is becoming PM.

Thank God I retired to this third world country.

Self balancing scooter? What we need are self balancing riders!

There is a guy I know who imported an engine from the UK, I should see him in about 4 weeks and will ask how he did it.

Da Roadrunner appreciates your help. PM me anytime if you get a response. Thanks.

Last month I took Levofloxasin for 30 days, age 63.

Walked 80Km last month (taking it easy because of tendon damage fears), already walked 55Km this month.

This is exercise walking, doesn't include normal day to day activities.

No negative effects so far that I can determine.

 

Maybe you were too old or too unfit to take these drugs.

 

We are all different, some are naturally more susceptible than others. You were lucky to get away with it. However, FQ drugs have latent effects, delayed onset 5 years in my case. Lots o luck! As for age and fitness.... we are the same age.... I'll leave it to my nickname for you to guess my level of fitness. Yep, the doctors turned an athlete into an old man.

Moral of the story...... Have enough sense to post the video after he'd left the country... Duh.

What do you think Winston Churchill would have said to the EU?

Bear in mind that the blue reg book only shows the date the car was registered in Thailand. It could have been manufactured years earlier and then imported into Thailand as a used car. Therefore, the reg year in the blue book does not prove age of vehicle. Check the VIN number with the manufacturer. (Amazing Thailand)

Great to see people doing something good for a change.

Why does nobody want to live in France? I can think of a list of reasons but will give one example that comes to mind.

So I was flying Air France Bkk - Paris when I noticed the stewardess coming around with a bottle of champagne. I further noticed that only French people were getting champagne. So when she came to me I answered her in French. She returned four times, by which time I had was getting slightly drunk and answered in English. You should have seen here face.... I have been giving champagne to an Englishman!

What's wrong with France? ..... The French! If you speak French they love you, if you don't they have no time for you.
