From what i've read, it is, or used to be similar in UK with some people asserting "squatter's rights"

You forgot "Hiring a jetski without a lawyer in attendance" 🤔 But seriously, the operators of this parasailing outfit SHOULD know not to go near trees such as this just in case the wind change - but TIT! Quite frankly it terrifies me but i get dizzy if I stand on a beermat 😮

It is called Generative Artificial Intelligence and the best way to answer your question is for you to search (Google, or Bing or whatever) that exact phrase. You will almost certainly be one or more of the following: Fascinated Amazed Horrified Scared Overwhelmed Then look at my post immediately above where I say "AI is a great tool.....etc"

Or, in the words of Wilbur Smith "Avoid the company of losers, for their despair is contagious"

You swine Ballpoint! I had to read that 4 times to understnad it 😂😎

Depends on the spirit, mate. But then I also have mixers in spirits, beer, IMO, should be good on its own chilled, or in the case of most UK beers at room temperature. However, i think you're British, aren't you, so you would know that unless of course you happen to be winding me up.....as if!

Really cannot agree with you there. Whether my comment is original or not, NO beer should ever have ice in it. If it tastes so bad it needs ice, drink something else! However, it is improved by being served ice cold and as long as you drink it before it warms up it's just about drinkable...IMO. The liquid sold as beer in Thailand is, agreed, technically beer, but for a Brit used to drinking proper ale, bitter, stout etc it's a poor substitute. It's not even as tasty as a good lager! Having said that, I do drink it because i like being in bars and cannot drink spirits all night.....does that count as going with the flow? 😂

I agree with proper beer....But the so-called beer that's sold in Thailand? Not so much At least it means you don't have to taste it. 😊

Indeed (and also to @gamb00ler ) in UK it's definitely sold as Rapeseed oil - available in most supermarkets. I've never seen Canola oil here, but then I've never actually looked for it.

Rapeseed oil, widely available and cheaper than olive oil in UK, but I don't know about Thailand. I've now got to where I prefer it for cooking. It's also much easier to clean from utensils which, to me, shows that it's lighter.

And here's the shirt I want to be wearing if I happen to meet one of them

Double posted - sorry!

Quite hair-raising, in fact 😊

Should have played her this.....

Obviously never going to Pattaya! 😎

Which surely must be followed by......... (If you're impatient, skip forward to 3 minutes but I'd advise watching the whole thing....in fact I'd advise watching ANY of these fine gentlemen's videos. Still brilliant after more than 90 years!) 😊😂

And that's just for openers!

I see that all the time in UK as well, and my thoughts are similar to yours.

Great book - read it years ago and, as the French say “Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose “ – the more things change, the more they stay the same…

Nah...just wanted to agree 100 times over 😋

I wish there was a +100 emoji instead of just a +1 🤬

Only if they were trying to curry favour

"If you think you're not that old, start dating women your own age." Or just go to Specsavers 😋🙄

Yes...I wish AN would return to identifying the posters of emojis. I can justify mine...can everyone?

I resemble that insinuation! 😎
