May I suggest you buy yourself a sense of humour? It makes the world a bit less depressing.

Suggesting a pair of concrete boots? Too much?

I ran. Very droll!

Thanks for this info , but I always specifically look for Asics shoes, because they are the only brand I have found that are kind to my dodgy feet! Back in the day, Brooks were good too.

I buy my size 13 Asics shoes on-line from the Asics Thailand store. Very limited options for sizes above US size 10 - but there are some there. I have found NO regular sports stores, smaller private jobs or the stores at Robinsons or Central that have 13s in stock!

Casio Gold?

Things change! 12-14 years ago the Aussie was up to $1.12US , now only just over half that.. The AUD is a small player in financial markets.

No . I am referring to Ford F150 trucks , which are made in thew USA, not the Thai produced Ford Ranger. I have no idea what the F150 company that you are referring to is.

Ummmm Yes. There is no car production in Australia now, aside from a few companies doing LHD to RHD conversions on US trucks like Dodge Ram, Chev Silverado anf Ford F150s.

results not disclosed because bidding may not have ended... do I hear 20k?, 30k?, to make this matter go away...

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 .
