Well at least you can get some ironing done.

It's a solar company. I can see why they might need to make layoffs from the night shift, but in daylight? Surely not.

The article mentions a UK carrier being deployed to cover the potential movement out of the area of the US carrier that is already there. Were you just as pent up about the US carrier being there in the first place?

It was superseded by "customer is often a moron".

Should pretty much never criticise a Captain's decision to divert, go-around, delay or any other such action. Getthereitis or pressure to not incur additional costs has been a major factor in countless accidents. The idiot with the "flying experience" is a complete tool.

I'm literally blasting music right now in my karaoke room. For a few years more too I hope.

This site might have some ideas for you if you've not already seen it: https://www.emperorhouse.com/home-en/

That looks like one of the Emperor House designs. I'm literally about to do something similar, although much lesser scale (err much lesser), although on quite a sizeable plot of land. Would love to follow the journey.

I see what you did there.

To be fair, if an elderly, handicapped woman is also pregnant she should get a free limo.

...and 90% of prisoners not in prison!

Thai Smile no longer exist. They've been merged back into the parent Thai Airways.

One of them most definitely starts with B.

5 sick days in the first month and a bit of employment... sorry but I'd probably fire you too, legitimate or not.

Gotya, that makes sense.

A new equivalent pump is only 2500 baht and you're dwelling on a fix even after you know the associated pipework might be under strain? I know we need to watch our pennies at times, but wouldn't a like for like replacement be the simplest (and perhaps cheapest even over the short term) solution?

Don't have a direct answer to your question, but I might be moving soon and have some decent, new, home gym equipment that I don't really want to take with me (Smith machine, treadmill and exercise bike) if that's an option for you and you have the space. . Wont post any more info about it right now as I believe I need mods approval.

Pattaya is too far away (with non-developed areas in between) from Bangkok to be considered a part of it, whether Metropolitan or Satellite. There are also areas between Bangkok and Pattaya that are definitely not part of the wider Bangkok area (such as ChonBuri, Si Racha and Laem Chabang). The wider Pattaya area (Bang Lamung I would say) would certainly beat quite a few on your list in terms of size, infrastructure, population and income.

I used to visit the larger Tesco here at least a couple of times per month to see what they had in the "Falang" food aisle. Sometimes there were biscuits, sauces etc that I'd not seen for years and I'd buy loads. Since Tesco departed I've probably been to Lotus'''''s''s maybe twice in total? The wife knows what to buy from their selections so no point me being there.

74 year old relative. What would that be on the beer goggles scale? 10,000? Sick anyway.

WTF? Stop the planet please, I need to get off.

From the (admittedly very few) instances that I've heard of, the love for the "beloved car" quickly vanished when either the cost (shipping fees but especially import taxes) were considered. I also believe that, at least at some point, imported cars (permanently) must essentially be brand new, so difficult for them to have accumulated too much love in the first place.

I'm confused as to why some people are confused. Nothing confusing about that.

Blimey. Whatever it was that flew out of the black pickup, if previously alive, probably isn't now. The moped rider waiting at the junction was lucky as hell.

Absolutely. Was about to write that legal or not, it's bloody dangerous.
