Liverpool Lou

"...wearing their masks, therefore unable to smell anything but their bad breath". Not everyone is the same as you.

I see them getting on the back of their motorbikes at closing time. Of course, you do. At which shop?

"How do you know they are bored and desperate?" How do you know that their Thai boyfriends are waiting for them?

It does work.

My List is still there as in pre-update times.

Me too, back to normal.

In my case, still waiting. Eventually I managed to get into the site today, but only by using Chrome which is not my choice of browser. And by entering multiple verification codes. I was happy with Tops for 4 years but now want something less dreadful. Has anyone had success with alternatives to Tops, given the annoyance factor here? Try signing in using the phone number and OTP option, I get in immediately without using Chrome and the site accepts orders and delivers them as per normal. You just have to get used to the slightly different layout of the site but it only takes one order to get over the annoyance.

"Initial investigations revealed that the deceased had been alone in the hotel. Before the incident at 00:45, the deceased went to the fire escape on the 7th floor and jumped down...." อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ : https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/04/15/a-japanese-jumps-from-a-bangkok-hotel-crashes-into-a-car-and-dies/

Khaosod reports that the Japanese embassy is being contacted to cover those costs, although, from the photos the Vios is obviously a write-off so maybe the owner's insurer will cover it?

Yep! Perfectly normal for someone to walk in bare feet to a fire escape in the middle of the night. The fact that he was an Asian and not wearing shoes is a clear sign that his fall was no accident. Who writes this nonsense? Who writes this nonsense? Er...you did. Perhaps he was a smoker, as is a Japanese trait, needing somewhere outside his room to have a drag? How does his ethnicity and bare feet "indicate clearly that his fall was no accident"?

Old piston engine planes smell like a mixture of avgas, oil, and mouldy naugahyde even when properly maintained It is possible they noticed no exhaust odor. Before they began to experience the insidious effects of CO poisoning "Old piston engine planes smell like a mixture of avgas, oil, and mouldy naugahyde." So what? "It is possible they noticed no exhaust odor". That's what I said.

The consequence of CO poisoning would be their being unintentionally passive due to being poisoned and suffocated! To criticise them for that, in that situation, would be, as you so accurately mentioned, just Thai-bashing!

That was not reported by anyone on the trip, nor on the previous trip on which passengers had problems. You are making up the "obvious exhaust smell" aspect.

Here's the point, they could smell the exhaust we can be sure of that and they just sat there and put up with it. Its called being very dumb! "...they could smell the exhaust..." Really? I'm sure that you can quote the part of the OP or the linked article that states that the smell of exhaust fumes was evident on the day and the previous, yes? You wouldn't be that "dumb" (to use your own derogatory term) to make that up, surely?

Everybody knows that Lou. But when the source is from vehicle exhaust it smells does it not? Where was it reported that the van was filled with the smell of exhaust fumes?

I'm sorry, but I am a retired Commercial Airline Pilot. And I would know what it is! My guess is that none of the affected passengers were retired commercial airline pilots, so what was the point you were trying to make, are you suggesting that you could smell odourless CO?.

Nope. Smell exhaust in the cabin get out CO has no smell and there was no suggestion that the smell of exhaust fumes was detected in the van. Once the CO had started to take effect on those passengers, they would be less and less likely to be in a position to make the rational decision to get out, neither would they likely be physically able to get out as unconsciousness took over.

They (nor you in that situation) would have any reason to complain, they would not be aware of the odourless cause of their sleepiness nor would they be aware of the risk of death.

I have no reason or motive to fabricate a story, I am just recounting what I read to the best of my recollection! Perhaps, then, when your powers of recollection are so bad as to be completely wrong you shouldn't be accusing me of "not being smart enough" to research the issue. If you did read it, it would still be out there and easily located. If you can still locate it and quote it here, I'll offer my apologies to you.

Yes, Nigerians getting locked up.

With Kasikorn? Doubt it. How can you do that with a service that is not available to, or required for, foreigners with Kasikorn? Krungsri and BBL, yes, bit not Kasikorn.

It takes a few seconds longer and has always worked.

It's for the phone app transactions, not ATM or online transactions.

Yes, but BBL's facial scan is not NDID, which is for Thais only.

The facial scan that some banks use for foreigners' account transactions is not "NDID", that only applies Thais as it requires a Thai ID, facial scan does not.
