I'm waiting for the inevitable blood on the streets, and then I'll grab me some of the thrid generation cryptos, and manage them in the same style Mr. Wonderful from shark tank balances his stock portfolio. It's a long haul. Now is not the time to pile in. The poor sods that have been wiped out in a month buying around $50K BTC with no clue, other than thinking it will crack a ton by xmas, it may, but not before it whipsaws the pigs to death,. Many of these unfortunates have to bail because they YOLOd and seeing half your lifesavings vanish overnight if youre a newb is terrifying. Diamond hands is easy if you bought way below the peak, for everyone else spending money they cant afford to lose, hodling isnt so easy.

Funny how they're not that keen to pose with their arrested colleagues following the much juicier developments in this sordid sorry game of snakes.

At least there have been arrests, but so what, at one point the Red Bull brat was in custody too, for a hot minute.

The fact that this even involved the connivance of police, who are supposed to prevent this sort of thing, is beyond a national embarrassment.

Naturally, the world is too busy to bother, it will soon fade from thought as the next outrage erupts, and only the hapless jarheads will get shafted, and real good too! And then the gullible hordes will return as soon as the jab gets sorted.

What's the average bar fine in Spain?

 

One can enjoy a knee-trembler at most Portuguese truck stops for EUR 20. I read it in Lonely plan it.

No idea.

 

I'm usually able to pull normal girls when I'm there, especially if I hit the bars that are full of horny English birds on hen parties and dirty weekends away from their husbands...

 

You a regular bar finer then mate yeh?

My original reply in error, moved to another post.

The local bottled namplao in the minibar will cost USD $300. it's the add-ons that add up to a (safe) cracking vacay!

No, newer evidence points to Chinese workers taking it to the USA, both History Channel and National Geographic have articles on their web site, I posted them the other day.

It depends why you beat them up, if it was because of their race then yes, if it was because of another reason then no. Why did you beat them up?

 

 

Don't mention the War!

Are you saying that when we beat up German and English guys at my Scottish school, it was racism, even though they were the same race? `

The human race? I didnt know Germany was part of the UK, outside of the Royal Family, anyway.

It is nationalist, a big difference. With Nationalism, it makes no difference your ethnicity or race. 

 

If it were farang, and blacks barred from buses, that's racism.

 

TAoo many people these days trying to complicate racism.  

Complicated? It's all pretty black and white to me.

Did WHO just choose the Greek Alphabet because it turns out these new varaints gonna pluk us in the R's?

Chinese flu, probably where it came from

It was Kansas, Toto.

"The first observations of illness and mortality were documented in the United States (in Kansas) in March 1918 and then in April in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized these early reports. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish" flu. Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin, with varying views as to its location." Actually, you're probably right then. China by default. ????

I just drive ultra-defensively, I dont speed, I light up my car or bike on every trip day or night, check mirrors and my blind spots like a man posessed, and indicate every move, all of the highway code, including STOP signs - all meaningless to most road users here.

BUT: Most road users here are very zen, you hardly hear a horn in anger, there is a surprising amount of calm in general, and once you realise people change lanes by sort of drifting into the slot over about a kilometre, and indicate three blocks before the turn, if they do at all, it all has a pattern of organized chaos to it.

My biggest terror is the unlit scooter on dimly lit roads, I've never made a night trip, usually to get some more weed and a fresh slab of beer, without clocking one yet.

You mean they'll put the national good before a fat profit? 

Somebody must have had too mutt Sangsom (Blue Label) at lunch.

The ones they caught mind.... 

Not to mention their own dodgy division HQs working to facilitate the cross-boder chicanery.

Haven't a few more LEO's just been nicked in the 'Daylight Taiwanese Abduction' case?

Bless 'em all, bless em all, the wrong and the rorts and the gall....

Walk, but its September... 

How appropriate, and pretty damn toe tapping.

Yes I pay cash. The times I've used the app or approached "Grab" branded parked cars, the drivers all want to negotiate a fare. I guess if one registers a form of electronic payment, if they accept the ride they would take the app based fare.

If you approach the driver, you have no protection should the ride go tits up. It's unwise at best. Just get a dodgy cab then, whats the point of using a Grab car outside the system, how does that benefit you? If you negotiate having hailed the car via the app, the driver then cancels the booking, but takes you, again, youre totally unprotected and could possibly get nicked under certain circumstances. Because TiT rubber law.

Not a BKK  resident, I'd get into too mutt trouble, but I used to visit 2-3 times a year, and you lot are making my old heart ache for a convivial pint or twenty. Everythings shut here too. 

They write these headlines just to troll us don't they?

Switzerland and Thailand may as well be in different galaxies, if only the culture exchange went further than Engleberg....

'Apropros of Nothing' - Woody Allen's great autobiography.

I dont care if he married his adopted kid who was clearly a consenting adult, he's a brillantly gifted artist in several fields. Some of his humour anthologies such as "Without Fethers" have me laughing out loud.

Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Clearly, it hasn't inspired me yet to do much with my life other than list it here.

Not saying its impractical, just that I cant be arsed, maybe it's the constant global doomery, may as well mull up and watch more porn.

All you have to do is socially distance when you take her back to your hotel, once you're in the room you can do what you want.

In all seriousness, they'll have a mob of Thailands finest doing their version of Samui Vice busting and posing with the thunderstruck/lovestruck pair for all of TV to bicker over.

Yes.

Even today which is Visakha Bucha Day - alcohol ban across Thailand.

You just need to know where to go.

Cambodia?

This neverending tourism farce is better than anything on Netflix!  Either open up 100% within the bubble, or dont bother.

Only jetset morons or lovestruck sponsors would put themselves through this "welcomlng treatment".

No they don't!

Because there's way too much vested interests to not hire some expert from the Netherlands to build a seawall, but they will wait of course, until some very expensive place, like the new riverside parliament, is flooded.
