Thought we'd buried her and her crazy ideas.

No politicians are trustworthy. Bit like lawers and Estate Agents.

How did all these people end up there? Were they lured by false job offers? Were they kidnapped? After all no one surely goes to work in a war zone by choice. They don't all seem to be Chinese, some look African. It would appear it's all run by Chinese criminals taking advantage of the lack of law and order. Im sure these criminals will be well looked after by the Chinese gov. On their return. I trust they will be locked up for a long time.

Had to go to immigration recently. Looked at the beach at Jomtiem, loads of tourists sunbathing. Sky had what appeared to be brown grey clouds but were pollution. Not a chance of seeing koh larn. 200m max visibility. I wore a mask that day but I was pretty much alone in that. Tourists don't care or don't believe, I guess.

Watson razors are awful . Blunt before you even use them. Boots are a little better. Shavy wernt too bad but I can't find them these days. Bic not great so I've gone back to the expensive but best by far Gillette.

Infact the whole EV thing was all unproven either way. In the end time will tell. To be honest the basic engine technology has been around way over 100 years. Not much else has stayed the same, perhaps EVs are the way forward. Right now my Toyota Vigo is 17 years old and done over 300,000 km. Can't see EVs lasting that long. Most people in China it seems replace them after around 5 years and although most are still OK no one wants them. Maybe they will now due to the downturn in their economy.

That wasn't the advice I got from MG about their EVs.

Because if it's needed in an unforseen emergency I could use it.

I had forgotten about one of my main reasons for not buying an EV . So many times in the wet season local roads are flooded often in a foot or so of water. Very concerning with a large battery stored low down in a car. Battery replacement is NOT cheap. Wife kept showing me dead EVs on you tube. Not many but one even had red plates and a 800,000bht battery replacement as flood damage is not a warranty issue. Apparently it wasn't covered on her insurance either. OUCH.

I am a proud socialist. I believe everyone should be able to receive free but perhaps limited Healthcare. I believe everyone should have the right for free education. I believe the rich 1% should not control 90% of the world's wealth. However Trans people should not be allowed in Women's sport. Should not be allowed in Women's changing rooms or toilets. It's absolutely madness. I wonder how many men put on a dress to gain access to changing rooms and assault women. Calling themselves them when there is only one is just plain stupid. Take the Thai word Katoy or invent your own. But better still seek psychological help, thats where the issue lies.

I think the cleaning issue depends on the quality and age of the fryer. And of course what you actually put in them. Meat products are worse than chips or roasted spuds. The do great jacket spuds no cleaning required ( hardly).

Sunday afternoons when people want to return to Bangkok from a weekend or day trip to the beach.

Very true. However if I left the 800,000bht in the UK. 1. My wife couldn't access it easily should I pop my clogs quickly. Although I plan to set a trust fund for her and my daughter. 2.. It would end up in the probate and along with the house would push my estate into the inheritance tax bracket which is 40% . 3. Can always show it to any private hospital if required in an emergency along with the insurance so they could do what needs to be done, and to hell with the visa afterwards. Friend ended up emptying his account in Thailand to have an emergency procedure done. The hospital held back until he paid a deposit and proved he could pay the rest after. Sad but true.

I have noticed the local fuel stations often have queues for them.
