The whole "Sorry" movement is part of the reason why I left Australia. The 'Welcome to Country' , the handouts, the reverse racism has got out of hand. I lived in rural areas, where I saw first hand, the Aboriginal 'issues'. The law-makers are generally City dwellers - many of whom have probably never met an Aboriginal. It is part of the whole "Green Feel-Good" movement. This 'unbiased' Aboriginal enquiry was always going to come up with results like this. I am surprised that the population of Aboriginals only dropped by 75%. Through history, when Europeans invaded new countries, disease alone would generally annihilate up to 90% of the local immunologically naiive population.

No. These days it is whingeing, smart a**ed poms they don't want.

No answer for you - but I have had the same for about 2 months. Just my left one. I thought it was from friction from some of my t-shirts. Cortisone cream will calm it down - but it returns after a day or 2. Curious and curioser!

Honestly? Who gives a toss about this 'moral high-ground' taken by this bookstore? More pandering to the minorities!

Ssssshhh. Be wewy kwiet - we’re hunting wabbit with our kwossbow

a cunfight?

The car is an Attrage - a 'microcar' , weighing less than 900kg, with a 1.2 litre 3 cylinder engine. It is hardly a Road Roller - but still likely to hurt!

Hmmmm…. They were going to take on the Thai Military with their 3 air rifles fitted with silencers. 3500 pellets ready to go! 55555 over-reaction? You think??

I’m not biting on this British/Indian bickering! This crash survival scenario reminds me of the Bruce Willis/Samuel L Jackson film “Unbreakable”

Definitely would be a step in the right direction - but alas - I fear this is just more hot air. BTW - how is the mandatory child seats in cars going? I have not seen a single child restraint seat in a vehicle in the Kanchanaburi area . The reluctance to wear seat belts is another issue here....

Tinnies Pies in Jomtien make decent Aussie style beef, lamb or pork sausages.

There is almost NO police presence on the roads. Until that changes - nothing will change here. In my area , the police drive 10-15 year old decrepit Isuzu utes, so they cannot apprehend wrong doers anyway! The only ‘law enforcement’ I have seen, has been from speed or red-light cameras. (-and it appears that many people ignore these too)

Wow! where did that come from? Are you feeling okay?

last month I sent a small package from Kanchanaburi to Germany. it was tracked all the way, taking 2 days to get to Suvarnabhumi Airport - then no data for 9 days, until it arrived in Germany, followed by detailed tracking until it was delivered 2 days later. I assumed it had a short Euro holiday stopover - lol

Unless you follow Chinese (and Thai) social media, it is very unlikely to have known about it! They couldn't give a hoot about your response - it is the millions of Chinese reading his posts on social media that concern Immigration .

The cattle in Thailand are Bos indicus species - ie Brahman type cattle. These breeds are better adapted to hot tropical conditions. The good cattle (I am very biased here - like hereford and angus) are Bos taurus species. They are suited to more temperate climates and cannot cope with tropical conditions. Dairy cattle require great nutrition to produce milk - so are found in areas of more guaranteed food supply - eg Chiang Mai or Prachuap Kiri Khan.

Come on now Bob , surely it's not that bad?

I live in rural Kanchanaburi. Driving into the city on Wednesday this week, I was amazed to see that at least 3/4 of riders WERE WEARING helmets. Maybe the message is getting through? Most of the riders not wearing lids were school kids (who don't have a licence ....(and probably no insurance either) ). Out in the sticks, where I am, nothing changes.

darker coloured tiles/pool lining will also make the pool water hotter - making the pool a less pleasant place to be!

It was 20 years ago when I went.... Air France had regular flights from Paris Orly airport to Cayenne. There were flights from Cayenne to Surinam & Georgetown in (British) Guyana.

Just now - rural Kanchanaburi

so, you used to be Bear Grylls?

French Guyana is easily accessible from Paris.

oh my buddha! what a pack of old fuddie duddies we've got here on this forum! get out & live a bit (while you still can) this lad was having a bit of fun in his diesel car at 1am in an empty car park - give him a break!

and also at peak busy time at 1AM. ...... surely the death penalty is called for ....
