Bday Prang

No not a new word, but a well known abbreviation for the word "sorry" that most native speakers would be familiar with

That is very true, and sadly something that many here just cannot accept

Truly shocking

how about changing the record, its getting boring

They are certainly the best equipped and resourced of the various organized crime collectives

of course not , and to his credit he never mentioned any of the above

He is hardly likely to crackdown on that is he , nobody with any sense would shoot themselves in the foot deliberately. How do you think he got to be the chief of police in the first place ? by being a really good cop ?

His b/s utterings would go someway to explaining why they normally form committees before making such statements, the thinking being presumably that no loss of face would be attributed to one individual, rather it would be shared by the anonymous committee members, loss of face shared being loss of face halved as it were Nailing a few errant foreigners is one thing and should not be too difficult but " building a new generation of police who serve the community with honesty and dedication." and protecting Thais from cyber crime is a whole different ball game, I hope he lets everybody know how it works out by the end of "the fiscal year" which strikes me as a strange target for a law enforcement organization, but then again considering where we are, maybe it isn't so strange after all "Pol Gen Kittirat, speaking at National Police Headquarters in Bangkok, outlined his vision for the fiscal year 2025" sounds more like a banker

the post I responded to specifically mentioned the UK

Its the kind of BS that i wouldn't mind a piece of though

Of all the excuses offered by some to hide the real reason they came here (cheap pussy) not agreeing with an election result is a new one on me

Indeed although the lack of language skills is hardly unique to coffee outlets, just the extortionate prices they charge, Thanks for the link I never considered trying Tops I'll give it a go next time I'm shopping

I never considered myself a socialist, but something is not right with the world $230 billion !! must be nice to have a bank balance that resembles an international telephone number,

I would accept that as evidence of being American, which part of the USA do you come from ?

$230 billion jeez how is that even possible, I bet he still counts the pennies though whether he can afford it or not

indeed there are , but somchai rushing home to eat his somtam is not one of them , Of course it should be an offence to obstruct an ambulance and the fact that this needs legislation ensure compliance is a sad reflection of society, However it should also be an offence for an ambulance driver to display flashing lights and sirens when not involved in an emergency, (some) people would then be more inclined to give way by default every time

True enough, but as they say the rich get rich by living like the poor , and the poor stay poor due to trying to live like the rich. I think most billionaires therefore would be very concerned about losing $50 million

Agreed but again exactly how much training is actually required to ensure staff do not pi$$ a customer off to the extent that they never return ? none I would say, in fact common courtesy and manners should suffice and whether a prospective employee is in possession of those basic qualities could and should be easily established when they are interviewed, "what can I get you sir" "A large cappuccino please" " certainly sir that will be 150 baht" "i'll tell you when its ready" Not much training required for that in my opinion, in fact one would have to go out of one's way to cause offence to a customer I have bought and made Starbucks coffee at home (despite a lack of formal training) as I said before back in the UK starbucks coffee is sold in supermarkets at around the same price as any other coffee Out of interest is Amazon coffee available for sale to be brewed at at home ? The amazon stores here only seem to offer instant coffee for that

To reduce the risk of "overpenetration" my mrs prefers to place a "doughnut" on my cartridge ( sometimes 2)

IF trump loses, according to the polls it is going to be very close I certainly would not be putting money on either of them

Can't say I blame you, out of interest, how did the mrs rate the "jizz"

"Street KFC" would actually be referred to not as gai tort but as Gai yang It does indeed taste much better Traditionally eaten by Thais with sticky rice ( khao neeow) If it was worth their while offering french fries they would by doing so already as Thai street vendors are pretty clued up. But as you say, they do not normally offer fries, even in tourist areas as far as I am aware, Have you thought of setting a stall up ? you might be onto a winner

In all honesty how much "training" can possibly be required to operate a coffee machine? There are only two basic ingredients in a cup of coffee and one of them is hot water the temperature and quantity of which would be controlled by the machine. The other is of course the coffee itself, the quantity required is the only variable and again that would be measured by the machine, Its not really rocket science. And I'm not sure where or why the over glorified term "barista" was dreamed up , I reckon its just to help those who work in such a mundane occupation (generally students) feel better about themselves. along with their customers who need to justify themselves paying a ridiculous amount of money for a what is just a cup of coffee.

maybe I was a little hasty in accepting that I was wrong ? It would appear further research is necessary, but to be honest I can't be bothered

But that is because we are equally badly off no matter which side wins, so there is no point in kicking off
