The sense of tension in the air is palpable, I can confirm that it is also 2 days back to back, let the panic buying begin,! and they say cannabis is addictive lol

My missis says most of the kids in the village can't swim and a good proportion of the adults too; one guy recently had his application to join the police refused because he couldn't swim, I asked her "how come the kids can't swim ? her reply was "there is nobody to teach them " So I said" there must be some one in the entire village that can swim", she replied "probably is but there is no swimming pool to learn in" "So why don't they teach them in the ponds where they spend a lot of of their time playing in the school hols" She gave me one of her "don't be stupid" looks "Can't be done in a pond , not the same, waters not the same, and there's no steps to get in and out" All this dialogue was in Thai, but she then turned to face her mother and an animated conversation took place in Khmer which ended in them both laughing whilst looking at me and shakin their heads So that's one reason why many don't swim

Cats have spent millions of years not only developing their amazing instincts and honing their skill set, They have also put a lot of thought into developing the perfect lifestyle, We were merely lucky enough. to be chosen as their "enablers"

See, all along the answer was staring them in the face, they could have hired the services of a local girl probably for around 1000 bt.( paid by victim) to provide hand hand relief or whatever relief the victim requested, that might of reduced the swelling , surely worth a try, before steaming in with a hacksaw?

I guess it takes all sorts , but bloody hell an orange??

nice one, lol you got me. ...but somehow I just can't imagine that any female doctor has ever put herself in that predicament,

one would expect a doctor to know better than to be anywhere near a fruit bowl when naked, especially when drying his hair. considering how common these "accidents" apparently are.

I knew that was coming, doesn't make it any more bearable though lol

When i first came here also about 30 years ago I hardly ever saw a cat, I remember a travel book I had that even explained why "Thai cats survive mainly by keeping out of sight" or so it said. There seems to have been a surge in popularity recently, coinciding with covid, but i don't know if there is a connection I also wondered about the tail, at first I thought they were botched amputations, but I can happily tell you that it's a genetic thing, I read about it online, but whilst I am as skeptical of online stuff as I am of what I read in newspapers, the wife's sister's cat confirmed it for me. That cat has a classic short tail with a hooked end, and recently had 4 kittens , 2 had short hooked tails, One has a short tail with no hook, and one has the longest "normal" tail I have ever seen on a cat The deformed tails do not seem to negatively affect the cats at all, and they have no problem jumping up on tables or anywhere else

Care was required when cutting it off, had they slipped they would have got the sack !!

Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have 1.6M in the account for her to steal, Worth bearing in mind for the future

looks like thats the end of it then , shame really

There is science on both sides, that's the nature of science , especially when there is a lot of it, its not difficult to cherry pick the internet and find graphs and statistics to support any theory, and when the subject in question is as complex as the climate, its even easier to do, there is an immense amount of pretty much useless information out there just waiting for anybody to latch on to. in order to further their cause or win their argument whatever their viewpoint. Comments such as yours are a perfect example of why rational discussion will never be possible, on this matter, anybody who dares to even question the "narrative" is immediately labeled a denier, or a troll, or even bizarrely a right-wing extremist !. Purely to shutdown any further dialogue This is not a rational way to discuss anything, And it inevitably descends into a verbal battlefield Does this sound familiar? it should do as it is exactly the same situation we had with threads about Covid. people again often labeled as deniers, (again) anti vaxxers, granny killers, even right wingers (again)!! Its all a complete waste of time but quite entertaining

50k seems a bit steep, is that for a repair or a reconditioned gear box, including the fitting ? Then again i don't imagine there are many breakers yards where you live, Also in my experience scrapyard's are not shy about racking up their prices, for us lot. I bet a Thai could get a box for less than 10,000 and fitted for around 5000 ? but I'm pretty sure you've already checked it out

Unlikely, its a Honda

not much more, but even 5000 bt is not exactly a king's ransom is it anyway once you have replaced the plugs most likely unnecessarily, and with little change from 2000 baht what will you do next? locate and change fuel filter? more expense, and then what plug leads ? ignition coils? ECU ? etc etc all the time the price is increasing and the problem will in all likelihood remain. Might be something as simple as a bare wire shorting out, and Hondas diagnostic equipment and factory trained technicians will find it a lot quicker than you can. A mate of mine makes a living buying and repairing malfunctioning cars from people, who thought they would have a go at fixing things themselves, He considers amateur home mechanics as a gift from the gods, that just keeps on giving. You have already started off in the wrong direction by worrying about fuel octane ratings, this is obviously not your forte, I reiterate my original advice take it to honda , it will be cheaper in the long run

No, he has not been convicted of any racial hatred crime. You are just making things up, Unless you can provide proof of this you should retract that statement, Put up or shut up is a phrase that springs to mind. And the link you provided in a later post about a few woke snowflakes whinging about a poster that "offended" them will not suffice I'd be a bit more careful If I were you, not only have you lost any credibility that you may mistakenly have thought you had, But you have also left yourself wide open to legal action by Farage, for posting such a bare faced lie, just imagine if he was to find out. Its not only woke banks that have a right to protect their reputation

It normally happens automatically when I make an inaccurate post

Nothing false about it at all you just don't like the facts

I thought the nissan nv was brilliant I had one years ago good sprightly performance and not too thirsty. Can't complain about 23 years of use, manual gear box would probably have lasted even longer, never really liked automatics but I can understand getting one for her indoors

Another one jumping to conclusions, I can't speak for the other member but I am not a "sex pat" (what ever one of those actually is) I9 years of marriage has put an end to that, Although I freely admit that previously to my family man existence I may have matched your description. I have indeed enjoyed meaningless ,paid for sex, often in squalid short time rooms, sometimes on a filthy stained mattress, and occasionally with more than one partner! And thoroughly enjoyed it, if you haven't already tried it I can highly recommend it, if you are still capable "I don't have issue with sexually ecpereienced women." Well only to the extent that it appears you can't even write it without "stammering" lol "I have issue with women who have been paid by Arabs, Indians, Japanese and just about every nation on the planet" Now there even appears to be a racial aspect to your hang ups, which nationalities do you consider as acceptable, to appear on the list of your wife's previous sexual partners, remember, you may think she has told you everything, but you can never really be sure "But guys like you obviously love sloppy thousands." A very childish response, anyway "guys like me" would wear condoms, when the need arises,much more effective than a mask

Not exactly a fortune, and I doubt it will take them long, But if you want to spend what will probably end up being most of the day, struggling in 30+ degree heat, to remove all the stuff that needs to be removed just to get access to spark plugs, stuff, that along with the plugs, may not have been removed for years, and with the inevitable result of something breaking or a nut or two rounding off , and then putting it all back only to find that the problem remains, then by all means carry on but I think you would end up regretting it and quickly realise that couple of thousand baht would have been money well spent

Yes of course, they will be lauded as swordsmen and studs, Women of a similar character are soiled goods and slags, slightly intimidating so worthy only of his contempt

Thanks to you and Red Phoenix for your replains , Anyway that explains it, I knew they would have a perfectly valid and legitimate reason, lol As I mentioned in Surin there are two offices abt 50 km apart A friend of mine who lives pretty much I/2 way between them was converting a visa exempt to retirement last October. The first office he tried was Kap choeng , they wanted 5000bt so he suddenly remembered he had "forgotten" some documents, and the next day tried his luck at Surin, lol they wanted 10,000, so he gave them the same "forgotten documents" excuse. The next day it was back to Kap choeng with 5000bt and the deal was done. Not a major end of the world problem, as he lives locally to both offices, but it would be a real pain in the ar$e for people living on the far side of the province
