One of my fans [app 2 years old] has stopped working.

Not suggesting you've abused the fan, but did you ever clean it on regular basis?

My wife and I were obviously exposed to Covid (nothing happened), but we weren't exposed to the vaccines. Happy to report no side effects from any of the vaccines or Covid19.

After our recent trip to Vietnam my Thai wife apologised for claiming it would be a waste of time. She is now keen to visit other close countries

Good stuff, but one has to let them do it in their own time.

For further information, google relentless heat in SE Asia - hundreds of reports from the whole spectre of media worldwide.

Who to believe - a smart aleck? Think not!

Is it a climate emergency?

Absolutely no need for that, I'll say.

It's a tiny burger, padded out with some veg and stuff and you've been charged 1/2 lb price. You were done.

Tough ! I have read the book "pulling your own strings " and I refuse to be a victim 

Cool. I'm guessing you've contracted wokeness somewhere along the line. 

Can be absolutely debilitating if not treated early enough. It's almost as bad as gambling.

V8 Fastlane, Soi Siam CC.

Looks okay but a tiny burger compared to the overall dimension.

Never had this problem with Grab.

i have a bunch of free space on other pages for stamps which isn't the problem but are they likely to do it or is there some rule that forbids using the last page?

How many free pages then?

I thought going to a specialist place would be better but it may make no difference 

You could try the international hotels websites in case any of them serve fish and chips on a particular day.  Obviously more expensive if there is, but I reckon they'd make a better job of it than the regular outlets in Patts/Jomtien. 

Also, a traditional UK fish and chip shop will have salt (sometimes pepper) and vinegar on the counter as free condiments. Tomato/brown sauce, mushy peas, curry sauce etc., are extra. Other side orders can include pickled eggs (truly evil), pickled onions (very nice), fish cakes, sausages, saveloys and pies. 

A UK fish and chip shop will also serve a range of fish and not just cod (including fish roe - again, truly evil stuff). My Thai wife loves rock (cue the jokes) and invariably opts for rock over cod, but we don't have it too often because it's so expensive now.

I remember it being on Sukhumvit, but my definition of not so long ago seems to differ from yours.

Last year?

The Black Swan on Sukumvit Soi 19. Used to be located on Sukumvit Road but moved not so long ago.

I told the guy I would repost it here to get some insight from others for him.

Pop's is reliving his youth and quite normal.

I suppose you could relay to the daughter to throw an Apple AirTag in his luggage and track him down - almost certainly to Patts, but to have a good think about this approach because sometimes ignorance is bliss (remembering you can buy absolutely anything in Thailand and certainly not limited to ladies of the night or new girlfriends, if she gets my drift).

Good

And is she happy with the nearest option?

Or do you hear then something like: I want to eat yam-poo (or something else which is not easy to find)?

Some food, any food, is often not good enough for my gf in such a situation. 

As long as it's edible. 🙂

It's a thing.

i don't bother with fish and chips anymore, it will never match back in the UK plus it's full of fat anyway so best avoided

The price of fish and chips in the UK now is rather hard to swallow (excuse the pun!).  Our local is over twenty quid for one large chips and two cod.

For discounting buying coffee beans purposes, I was told by my local Starbucks I should download Starbucks Thailand app. Trouble is on checking App Store on my iPhone it doesn't appear.I think it is on the Thailand app store but not sure how to access.Any pointers?

You need to change you location to Thailand in iPhone settings. I suspect your location is set your home country.

Drink like a fish? Are you an alcoholic? What a dumb comment.

I do partake in a couple of three alcoholic beverages to help me sleep. As well as two or three in the lounge for good measure.

But we love Greta on the far right - at the moment. 😅

It would be a terrible incident if Greta was accidentally struck across the head with a police baton. Probably best move to China where they're far more tolerant of anti-government protests.

We are talking about NATO being Ukraine's airforce here..

 

If you're gonna gatecrash the discussion, at least read up on what's being discussed.

 

'non-binaries' wth are you on about..?

 

NATOs pilots are ready.

Check Flightradar24 over Ukraine for latest aeronautical activity and don't forget MH17. 

I know it's not the done thing to comment on moderation, but I might get away with suggesting the moderators appear to have collectively developed a recent sense of humour. Nice! 😀
