  1. Arrrggghhh!
  2. The vast majority of the smoke could be avoided by forcing the sugarcane processors to only accept sugarcane with the leaves..........the factories can then remove the leaves, mulch them and put them into landfill sites......or sell for generating energy in a controlled environment.
  3. An issue I've not seen raised is roadside fires........apparently, to save the cost of managing roadside verges where we live, the authorities are setting fire to them during the burning season......presumably using this season to 'disguise' what they are doing.
  4. Similar experience with Qatar....booked the Q-Suite for me and the missus.......sorry we changed planes....no Q-Suite....suck it up.
  5. A drop in the ocean....literally.....but better than nothing I guess. The fires around the hills near us have been burning since mid-January........most days you can't even see the hills.
  6. She told me she prefers her policewoman's outfit.
  7. Yep same problem....whole house is fitted with these.....only good for connections that go straight into the plug...not at 90.
  8. Drugs....mainly prescription type stuff like Xanax.....they always come across as quite polite and never hassle you......... in my experience......probably here illegally and want to minimise attention.
  9. I wonder how these statistics might compare with other countries if multiple road deaths due to travel in flatbed trucks and people carriers were discounted ......might even be comparable with developed nations????
  10. Interesting. We had a discussion today about the kids in the village.......all flatly refuse to work in the fields and spend all day hammering about on their exhaust, modified motorbikes........the times they are a changin'.
  11. Very tempted to go down this avenue.....if I thought my longevity was not going to be severely curtailed.
  12. Not an expert, but read somewhere it must have pedals.....even if they are totally ineffective.....otherwise it could be classed as a motorbike.
  13. BKK soi 11 won't be paying any attention to this ban I'm sure.......we drank most days right through the total bans during covid lockdown......it helped that the owner's wife of one of the bars was a policeman I guess.
  14. If only there was someway they could have foreseen this sudden increase in numbers......?
  15. Found the same....could start off at 140/100 and slowly, with repeated tests, get down to 120/80.........I ended up taking four measurements ignored the highest and lowest, then took the average of the two middle results......all very ify.
  16. Just seen one going past our front garden.......... slightly wider than the truck, the truck is obviously under powered for the job and there are no chains (should there be chains?)
  17. Seatbelts are only worn by wusses in Thailand........anyway, if you have a half decent amulet you won't need a seatbelt.
  18. Just take your phone to shop with a printer.....email the TM47 to them whilst you are they and they will print it out for you......that's what I do anyway.
  19. The only downside to his demise is the fact that the fat, lazy, ignorant b*****d will still make millions from destroying so many life chances and damaging the UK's economy for decades.
  20. I wonder how many of the committee are middle aged men?
  21. SOLUTION: All sugar cane must have leaves left on and the processors (the ones making a fortune at the expense of the farmers) have to strip the leaves and then.......???......mulch them, put into landfill, bundle them, find some use for them....??? Only on-cost, ignoring what the processors would have to do, would be an increase in transport costs.
  22. I'm coming to that conclusion........choking to death in Isaan
  23. Very little is burnt as it stands in the fields......labour rates are so low and the price of burnt cane so low it is more profitable to strip the leaves and burn them as the lie in the field.
