  1. Hand drawn maps comes from age-old traditions designed to protect the peasants and their land. Not all properties had addresses, nor could everyone read & write, so having someone hand draw a map of their property was a way for poor farmers to identify their land. Some traditions just don't change.
  2. ??? Beef tartare means it is raw. Chop it & throw it on a plate. Maybe put a raw egg on top. How much work were you expecting?
  3. If you weren't aware that verbal agreements are enforceable, you should speak to an attorney. As for this situation, since the renter continued to pay rent and live in the rental after the original expiration of the lease, it is entirely reasonable that both parties had verbally agreed to extend the lease by another year. If the renter breaks this agreement, then the deposit will be kept by the landlord as Liquidated Damages.
  4. Verbal agreements are legally binding, especially since you don't have anything written. And since you are breaking this agreement, the landlord can keep your deposit as Liquidated Damages. This is kept in lieu of other legal mechanisms such as using the courts to force you to comply with your one-year verbal contract. Just walk away. You broke an agreement and expect the Landlord to be happy about it.
  5. Really? As I sit with my Dr Martens. And since it has been so rainy recently, I have pulled-out my beloved Barbour waxed coat. It sits next to some of my Harris Tweeds in the "winter" closet. I used to like Burberry, but not as much since the chavs started favoring them.
  6. Is it more a case of depression and a wish to "check out" from the world? Realistically, it isn't easy to accidentally fall off a balcony unless one wanted to, or was pushed.
  7. I think you must have gotten the words celibacy confused with bachelorhood
  8. How would Israeli citizens get deported to Russia? And for a work-visa violation? Could they be dual nationals? Does Russia have an international warrant out for them? An Interpol Red notice? Typical lazy reporting. The reader ends up asking more questions than receives information.
  9. What outrageous behavior because it was a farang! The BMW should be confiscated and given to a needy general.
  10. Bear probably heard all Swiss taste like chocolate.
  11. C'mon everybody, it was just a typo. Instead of wanting to be the Asian aviation hub, they mean to be the Asian aviation rub. I believe plans are already in motion to build go-go bars inside BKK airport.
  12. I am sooo glad they were proactive like this! Good thing he wasn't able to overstay by 3-years, or steal more than 320 million baht.
  13. Unfortunately, probably already has been declawed by selfish owners. Owners will probably lose interest eventually and have it shot on a fake hunt by other rich a-holes.
  14. They're called collapsible batons or ASPs. You better be trained on how to use one because if you don't, you'll probably make head strikes and kill someone with it. -Then you go to jail and shower with your bunkmates.
  15. Lithium mines need water and leaching fields. More poisons for Thailand.
  16. The shirtless one looks like the classic hippie bum with a sense of entitlement, where everything should be free so he shouldn't have to pay for anything, except for weed and tattoos. Doesn't matter what country he's from as they're all the same.
  17. I suspect you simply didn't know how to order. Hot water? They serve tea to everyone. Why? Because that's part of Dim Sum, and they charge for it. Dim Sum is actually having tea with friends & family, and having small dishes on the side is optional. You're the reason why people say Brits have no taste. Go have some toad-in-the-hole with a side of beans.
  18. What makes you think he doesn't want to "go back to war"? If he was drafted to fight, he'd likely still be under arms, or, if he was discharged after serving the 18-months of service, he does not have to go back under arms. I think the odds are more likely that he ran back in 2022 and has finally run out of money, or family support.
  19. Really? If the Brits didn't have guns at Rorke's Drift, the Zulus would have speared the lot of them.
  20. Do you know the story behind how Mr T got all those chains? While working as a club bouncer in the 70's, he fought and threw out so many drunks that he started collecting their broken chains and began wearing them as tokens. They accumulated to such a degree because people weren't interested in getting their chains back after fighting him.

  23. The only way to repay this victim was to use the proceeds from other victims. No way this could have been 'her' first theft.
  24. Have you considered switching to one of these? Better size, weight, control, and close shave. No plastic to keep throwing away either.
  25. We don't know what happened, so your judgement is premature. I personally doubt tourists of any nation would randomly start attacking locals as a group.
