You can tell nothing, Troll off, but don;t forget to recharge or you will be loitering in public toilets again ( with like minded others)

should do as you will need to watch a whole film whilst charging a noddy car

Some of the Ev drivers on this thread appear to live in a parallel universe, where they spend around half of their lives in public toilets , Amazon coffee outlets, and 7-11s The latter two don't come particularly cheap , so let's add the cost of those "essentials" on to the amazing running costs, Not so cheap now is it?

Also indicative of prostate issues, quite common amongst the elderly regardless of how well endowed they consider themselves to be

Rubbish, I could stick 10 gallon of diesel in my tank before you had even shaken the drips off and zipped up.

is the use of capitals supposed to indicate that you are actually shrieking ? No of course I have never driven a taxi, but have sat in plenty in Bangkok and without fail toll money is collected at the point of payment never at the end of the journey. They did not refuse to pay the fare the argument was clearly only about the toll fee, we will never know exactly what was discussed and agreed. The police, who were at the scene and spoke to both parties, and who are not exactly famous for taking the side of foreigners were prepared to accept that it was possibly the result of language or communication problems, but based on your own prejudices, you have arrived at your own conclusion from reading a badly written article with very little detail from a source which is far less reliable than any tabloid newspaper I can think of. Hardly surprising as your comment indicates that you are or have been a taxi driver, I am well aware how "difficult" some people can be , I am also well aware how devious some taxi drivers can be, to the extent that considering the lack of details, I would take her account of the matter with a pinch of salt.Had they "done a runner" after refusing to pay the entire fare I might feel differently. in any case they didn't "run" very far did they and they did not appear out of breath in the video. She did her job, they did not refuse to pay the fare , they were never accused of that , They were stupid to argue over a small toll fee, she was equally stupid and more than a little bloody minded not to accept the police's solution You are of course perfectly at liberty to believe what you want , as am I, and your opinion on the matter, just like mine, is really neither here nor there. Shrieking will not change anything or add any credence to your opinion, just the opposite in fact

most of it yes

I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it 4 years ago at just over 6000$ a pop. But I guess you are just a bit smarter than me eh?

looks lovely one can just tell it will not disappoint

Anybody thinking of buying bitcoin just now must be a bit simple

should be made to learn to fend for itself, killing rats and birds with its own hands, and eating them raw. Then tech it how to wash "cat style" they are still reasonably flexible at that age, and a bit of self annilingus might just cure it.

Do i really need to answer that ? although I think in an extreme case like this they might just decide to maintain a dignified silence, personally i hope they don't,

probably "non binary" or "transitioning" seems to me all the rage these days,

spot on , nailed it in a few words

yes and a mad one at that,

no problem for the kid though, after all its a cat, she said it her self. Now where did I leave the antifreeze?

It was in the end a piece of satire, but this kind of idiocy is happening. And equally worrying is that some people , who will soon show themselves on this thread think, its fine

If any person did subscribe to the views she expressed, their child should be taken off them , Then they should , themselves be sterilised , sectioned and taken into custody for their own protection. The child should also , just like a cat, be neutered to end the possibility of passing on its defective genetic material. End of problem

very true indeed, but in "the good old days" they were seen for what they were, and treated accordingly, these days they are almost revered, often granted special privileges and the rest of us are expected to oblige them for fear of causing offence. They themselves are starting to get boring

Next question, why do some on here take offence so easily, we are, after all, talking about grown men here, and not teenage girls

It's their country, they are entitled to have some details of who the gov't is allowing to stay in their country. They are entitled to nothing, except their views on foreigners. It actually makes me a bit jealous as that is a privilege that has long been withdrawn from us westerners concerning immigrants to our countries , legal or otherwise How nasty and potentially dangerous must some of these people be when its deemed necessary pass laws to stop us saying anything about them ,.and to make us like them ? , ostensibly at least If you went to the UK and openly questioned an immigrants' status you would be arrested for a hate crime. your feet would not touch the floor, then follows a character assassination by the media, followed by death threats, and good luck with reporting that to the police

Well we can't all come from the higher echelons and its not a crime. In making a statement like that its pretty clear that you are excluding yourself from the subject matter and consider yourself "better" than them. Does that make your views more valid ?

Generally speaking , other than the factual threads regarding Visas or electrical issues etc, there is little on here that is actually "discussed" any threads involving Trump, Muzzers, Cannabis, or Gaza for example become a slanging match from the start. Its pretty obvious that this is intentional on the part of the website, and there is no better way to generate the all important clicks which are needed to pay for this forums upkeep and maintenance. I doubt anybody has ever had a change of heart regarding their feelings on those subjects, yet some seem to feel it is a possibility if they argue strenuously enough, the insults start when they realise their belief in converting people is unfounded, and are generally due to frustration. As regards insults it certainly appears to me that the members of the "tolerant and progressive liberal left" take this to a whole new level if one doesn't agree with their views not only is one wrong but one is , in their eyes, a bad person, almost sub human, and worthy as a recipient of the worst insults they can think of. Furthermore throwing words like Racist or whatever "phobe" into discussions is done for the express purpose of ending any further discussion whatsoever. Like wise the use of words like Nazi and Fascist are just ridiculous, bearing in mind the true meaning of the words and the complete absence of any people on here who could be accurately described as such. These words now simply get aimed at anybody who's often moderate right of center views don't align with those of the person using such language. According to some the meaning of these words has actually changed ( in their minds only) to mean whatever they want I am actually starting to think that this forum has to a certain extent been infiltrated by some of these uber left activists who don't even live here and have probably never even visited, preferring to sit in their own countries continually searching the net for something to be offended by, normally on behalf of others As far as I am concerned its "sticks and stones" and all that, but as a white hetro male who has worked and supported himself since before leaving school I never had anybody telling me otherwise. If I had I may have also become one of the permanently offended, but I remain one of the water off a ducks back brigade, and will give as good as I get

is that the Pinocchio song with words sounding like "mussi deng mussi deng" there is an english guy in his 80's that i know and when he's had a few its his goto song , especially when in the company of germans lol. To be honest when I hear Germans or French or any other europeans speaking together I can't make out a single word they say, and as for Polish I can't even repeat the words parrot fashion. A bit like the Khmer that my inlaws speak which seems to me to be nothing more than a series of grunts with few vowels if any. When I started learning Thai from books there was an early exercise in which they taught a few words, they then one played a recording (on the accompanying cassette tape) and was asked if one could recognise any of the words, i found it absolutely impossible at first but gradually as my ear became accustomed to it the fog started to clear. I quite like some Thai music and that was what partly got me started reading ( the karaoke subtitles) The ability to read a bit definitely helps there is always an opportunity to practice, I used to try reading the car number plates where the provinces are written underneath I actually find languages fascinating these days, particularly for example how a Thai even when completely drunk out of his head and almost unable to speak, can be understood by other Thais far easier than they understand me i guess its the same for all languages, but what is it that makes this possible. I have come to the conclusion it is something to do with the pronunciation of vowels specifically, but I am far from a master of linguistics Watching Thai TV helps especially the soaps, but I find the news very challenging as they and the newspapers seem to have have a vocabulary all of their own.

Shriek away pal, but learn to read between the lines, and question what you are told especially by certain online publications
