Zebra crossings are a joke....   I slow down when I see them and I stop when I see people waiting at them to cross. They seem shocked to see that I have stopped. I'm sacred that some day I'll get rear-ended being stopped at one.

 

I have had many cases where I stop and the people start to cross when traffic in the opposite direction of me doesn't stop or even acknowledge folks are in the crosswalk. I flash my lights, honk my horn, and at times, roll down my window yelling out 'zebra crossing'.

 

Never think you are safe as a pedestrian walking in a zebra crossing. I have had to avoid vehicles many times while walking in a zebra crossing. These days I enter the zebra crossing while waving my arms and yelling out 'zebra'..... 

Sometimes when I stop at a crossing & and this could be a school one. A motorcycle or two will just zoom past me. Road Ignorance is full on here

If she’s 50y younger than the Batman, I must be only twenty.

I’m not jealous at all, I’ll stick with the wife.

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

Better to bargain at the dealers, go to a few, get all the offers and accessories thrown in and written down, and then go to another dealer or two & ask them to better it. I doubt you’ll get cash off from any new car though, it’s all about freebies.

I noticed there were mostly women amongst this buffoon.

Thai men around him, different outcome probably.

That Palmer pass

Going towards Beung Phorephet the other day I saw a pick up fly across the rail crossing, all four wheels off the tarmac.

The first known ball game which also involved kicking took place In China in the 3rd and 2nd century BC under the name cuju. Cuju was played with a round ball (stitched leather with fur or feathers inside) on an area of a square. A modified form of this game later spread to Japan and was by the name of kemari practiced under ceremonial forms.

Football as we know it today - sometimes known as association football or soccer - began in England, with the laying down of rules by the Football Association in 1863

According to FIFA, modern soccer began in England in 1863

Ok I stand corrected.

The English game of Soccer would be our invention I should say

After given freedom back to the UK he still never learned his lesson.

Old habits die hard

12.0 Opening the doors again to a cutthroat society. If there’s money in it you know the rest

That old saying of he ‘Wrapped it round a lamppost’ here is the proof in picture, literally!

It’s embarrassing to say that the inventors of football haven’t won a trophy for nearly sixty years. Sadly I don’t have high hopes for England this time

There should be an agreement between Thailand and Western nations that requires the West to cover the expenses for their citizens incarcerated in Thailand.

I think old rice and bone soup is not much of an expense

The future is bleak.

When Sunak finally succumbs to be another inadequacy statistic to govern a once great country,

Just like all the other failed PM’s, he’ll fall straight into another high profile role to help continue the nations downward spiral.

I suppose it could be worse, there always the lurking Diane Abbot

That’s a very big Pond compared to my three Mtr square back garden lake.

The UK hub of Can’t keep them in, can’t keep them out

The Brit definitely needs a good lawyer and supporting statements from others that were at this 3:00am pool party.  

for his sake let’s hope his supporting statements are not all Russian party goers, then he’s well and truly ……

Instead of lashing out verbal & physical abuse, the attacker should have offered the ugly victim some beauty treatment at one of his many clinics

Much less of the real Monk these days.

After parking their BMW’s receiving gourmet dinners etc, who knows what they could be watching on the Samsung Galaxy Note tablet at bedtime..

Some of those terrified passengers will probably never want to fly again.

My older son was on a Quatar flight that briefly lost both engines and dropped like a stone, he couldn't fly again for at least three years after.

I can also imagine the possible structural damage to the Singapore plane during this incident.

Once you understand the process of how Lazada works it’s all quite simple with no scam.

The only scammers, are some vendors selling fake products
