  1. I'm not quoting the highway code. I'm quoting how drivers actually use the headlight flash and its commonly used to mean ' You go ahead' I am aware it not how the Highway code defines its use. Not everyone abides by the Highway code. I have been driving for about 50 years both large commercial vehicles and domestic vehicles in numerous countries. Can you say the same? I certainly don't need you quoting the Highway code at me.
  2. It's primarily spread among the gay male community- the Guardian article featured a promiscuous gay man with several anonymous partners in the NY bathhouse scene. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/23/i-literally-screamed-out-loud-in-pain-my-two-weeks-of-monkeypox-hell
  3. Go again to a Dr now you have all symptoms. Blood test, urine test, STI test and yes Cancer test...
  4. Yes. How we use it and how the highway code describes it are different. Many people in the UK use the the quick flash to mean - You can go ahead. It's not used like that in other countries but as warning - or to make one's presence known.
  5. Mores the pity. In Thailand its a dreadful elitist waste of resources and abuse of the land, water and environment. As for the status of UK golf during the current water crisis who knows if it will lead to an intelligent rethink.
  6. Wash it gently by soaking and rinsing Wash it infrequently as possible I use mine to roast, fry and bake. I don't cook on the basis plate always I cook in aluminum foil containers These devices are easy, simple to use. Extremely intuitive and there's loads of info on the tinternet. They have been around for over 10 years.
  7. I lasted 10 minutes..even before the woke cr@p started
  8. I gave several solutions. But I am surprised that you claim to be teacher and apparently you teacher training involved learning about the physical abuse of children. If your teacher training did not involve violence against children why are you bringing this to the classroom?
  9. The Emperor's New Clothes and Better Call Saul. Anybody else a bored with BCS? Anybody else lost? Anybody just doesn't care or is it only me who thinks Better Call Saul could have ended about three episodes ago? Ever since the restart after the hiatus I've lost interest. I definitely don't like those big breaks after seven episodes. Either way- The thrill has gone!
  10. Every dental experience here in Thailand, including cleaning has been better than UK which admittedly is not saying much. Go to the dental department of any hospital such as Bumrungrad. Or try the dental clinic on Asoke a hundred yards past Soi Cowboy. After a good descaling your teeth won't feel smooth because the tarta and plaque covering the teeth will have been removed. As for the protective, hygienic face covering blocking your vision..LOL What do you think is being put in your mouth?
  11. Nobody gleans goldmines! It's an impossible mixed metaphor to which to reply.
  12. Yeah it was OK but could have been better. Yes season three has been 'released' and its watchable but there are obvious flaws that a more critical writer/ producer would have addressed. I assume the two lead actors were too busy to wait for rewrites and reshoots. In the two shot reverse angles you can see the eye lines don't match especially Graham's. Such camera work is not acceptable
  13. Nope. Just read different books and don't regard the NYT, WP or other mainstream media as Koranic truth.
  14. The FBI HAD A RAT https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/08/10/fbi-had-informant-inside-trumpworld-that-led-to-raid-n2611559
  15. Nor does it mean you haven't done crimes! Or me! Or any of us! Has Trump been charged? Has he been found guilty of any crime? Has he been convicted of any crime? No to all of these.
  16. Of course there is a Thai baht option as there is for over 150 currencies! 'Go life'??? Nothing you describe bears any resemblance to what I use.
  17. The question does not make sense as it does not define what qualities make a good wife? From my observations comparing both I would suggest Philapinas are more stable but have less character and personality- Thai women are incredibly strong and their cultural heritage defines them and runs through them like letters in Blackpool rock. Philapinas have no real cultural heritage but nevertheless have a confusion of Chinese and Yankee bloodlines but no foundation or depth
  18. Irrelevant to the traveller. Its the job of hotels and guest houses to sort out that paperwork.
  19. The OP was at fault - no doubt. As for flashing headlights - it means different things in different countries. Only in the UK does it mean 'I'm yielding to you' In most countries its a warning 'I'm coming through'
  20. Currently watching Code 404 a police comedy with lots of potential and plenty of over acting. Some patches of good dialogue but clichéd women characters. It stars Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays - both of whom should have laid off the C whilst shooting.
  21. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/11/new-zealand-tourism-minister-makes-pitch-to-the-rich-as-he-spurns-10-a-day-travellers Why would anyone but Australians want to visit new zealand?
  22. Why? Are you suggesting foreigners are superior to Thais? Or are you promoting the inferiority of Thais to white people? It's not funny- it's just a tired, clichéd racist trope. 'White people' ; I didn't get that part. If a Thai flunks probably you will too? Why you'd bother to challenge the use of a "tired, cliched racist trope" is also a tired cliched racist trope. You made yourself feel better but changed absolutely no body's outlook on life. Other people's casual racism does not make me feel better. Nor does their denial of their racist views. I don't think this forum was set up for small minded ignorant people to slag off Thais and Thailand in a thoughtless, clichéd racist way. If such racists wish to suggest they are superior to Thais they need a better grasp of language and use their own original language to defend themselves from criticism not just not just quoting their critics language back at them. Perhaps you didn't mean to suggest that Thais were inferior to whites/ foreigners but test the sentence out replace the word Thais with Africans or Jews or Blacks and then you will understand why your sentiment is a troubling racist cliche. Many people hold views they think are normal and say things they think are funny. But they are not funny and only normal in the company of like minded people.
