  1. It should be a Law not to eat in any public transport, I thought they had signs in them minivans "No Food" if not then they should have, He's wrong to hit her over the head, maybe he had enough of them that day he could have been at the airport a few times that day, I know a minivan driver he once told me can be as many as 9 times a day to pick up from the airport, She should be fined for Littering in a Publc Vehicle,
  2. I've been in that restaurant a couple of times, We like the food, Apart from the glass right outside of there is a set of steps that would be illegal back in the UK, I see from the photo there is a handrail but I don't remember that being there a couple of years ago, I was thinking the guy had fell down the stairs as they go right into the road that was how he killed himself, At the time my family was here and we had to carry my grand daughters buggy up them steps and back down we needed the staff to help it was that dangerous, Obviously there has not been a building inspector around there, now I have mobility problems so we could never go back there,
  3. A mate of mine used to do that all the time when he lived in Phuket, I wouldn't mind he was from Manchester, the best car thieves in the world,
  4. Chiang Mai was never any good, them bars should have been burnt down years ago,
  5. Happens all over the world with these Private Military Companies, didnt a bunch of Thai's go to the Ukraine to fight against Russia? Im sure a bunch of Vietnamese will sign up for a fight, they've not one for a while,
  6. It's that time of the year when we used to have a sherry trifle,
  7. Am I shocked? no Im not, I knew somewhere in the world some lunatic would be kicking off on that day Hanukkah, I would be more shocked if you told me about Jewish grooming gangs, and a Rabbi calling for the death of all muslims, I would be more shocked if you told me Jewish gangs were killing Christians in Africa, Not one Mosque in the world needs protection from Jewish people, No, Im not Jewish,
  8. I was in there the other morning early and couple of Russian families must have just arrived and by the looks of their trollies staying for a few weeks,
  9. It will be interesting to see how the world cup will effect Thailand tourism, The world cup this time will be the biggest ever with over 48 countries taking part, spread over America, Mexico and Canada,
  10. I read the other article that said it was almost 10% down, Here in Rawai, Phuket there is tourist here but they are not spending, when you drive around all the motorbikes parked up outside the rental shops, loads, We drive by makro most mornings and it's not busy, car park empty,
  11. I remember it must be about 23 years ago when the same happened in Hat Yai, I was living in BKK and was taking a flight to Hat Yai a couple of days after a huge flooding had cleared, you could see in the shops the water line on the walls, by all accounts it was a disaster.
  12. Guns, Girls, Gambling, Ganja: Thailand's Illegal Economy and Public Policy, this was written over 25 years ago, not much changed, Gambling, prostitution, drugs, arms trading, oil smuggling, and trafficking in people―these six illegal businesses are large and getting larger in Thailand. They distort the economy and victimize people. They are increasingly linked together through networks of protection and organized crime. They help to fund Thailand's corrosive "money politics" and to sustain corruption in the police. The authors argue that control of the illegal economy, especially through reform of the police, is vital for the development of a modern economy and functioning democracy.
  13. I dont like cake in the morning, get rid of that
  14. Im not a pizza lover, so that can go,
  15. Remove corn on the Cob for me

    Macaroni and Cheese: Macaroni and cheese blends tender pasta with creamy melted cheese sauce, creating a rich, warm, comforting classic full of smooth, indulgent flavor. Carbonara: Carbonara is a silky Italian pasta made with eggs, cheese, pancetta, and pepper, delivering creamy texture and bold, savory flavor without using actual cream. Anchovy Pasta: Anchovy pasta features pasta tossed with anchovies, garlic, olive oil, and chili, creating a deeply savory, salty, umami-rich dish with simple ingredients and bold flavor. Lasagna: Lasagna layers pasta sheets with meat sauce, cheese, and herbs, baked until bubbling, creating a hearty, flavorful Italian favorite with rich, comforting depth.

  19. Another Chris May classic painting re past history wonderfully captured. Also explaining what his work of art is about. Superb. Legends in Bricks A nostalgic moment captured on a street corner where a young boy stands transfixed by a poster of the Great Train Robbery, not in admiration of the crime, but sparked by the larger-than-life presence of stories and legends that fuel a child’s imagination. A nod to the way urban spaces and news once stirred wonder and curiosity.
  20. I bet many kids in the UK will be speaking another language soon, My grand daughter is learning Farsi and she is only 4 and half, she goes every Saturday to a school they also teaching about music and art,
  21. My mate said walking down the streets of Oldham nobody is speaking English, Must be Urdu now,
