  1. Give the Ukrainians LTVs and deport the Russians.
  2. I always thought the law makers were our 'elected' representatives in government, the judiciary apply the law (fairly...555)......the police are there to police the population according to the law...............it's not up to the police to decide what the law actually is, should be, or if it should applied or dis-applied......what am I thinking.....this is Thailand.
  3. I can certainly remember the winter of '63......schools didn't close in those days. The snow was waist deep and it was the best part of mile's walk.
  4. I have a couple of very distinct memories from 2 1/2 years old (then nothing until much older)............five of us had had to live in a tiny, one bed caravan through the winter of 1958 and certain scenes have stuck.....could always be false memories I guess.
  5. Not looking for an argument......but I really don't think your two week tourist knows about this stuff or if they do.......it's only a two week holiday....... so they just don't care. I first started to travel to Thailand in 1990 and was oblivious to coups, financial crises, crime, scams....etc. It's only since living here I have become aware of the darker side.
  6. ....and to be fair they've done a cracking job of it.
  7. The focus is and always has been to maximise the profits of CP and the like by allowing price gouging, monopolies and cheap imported labour.........you reap what you sow.
  8. He didn't hit a 14 year old.....the 14 year old hit him.......it was the 14 year old's fault 100%.
  9. Had a very fast moving car (probably a Ford Ranger) do exactly the same thing to me last week.........how he didn't hit me as I started to turn right, God alone knows.........I just thank the Lord my wife won't let have a gun.
  10. 'Christian' in the broadest sense of being something to which humans should aspire....not rocket science.
  11. Well, if he has refused to acknowledge the charges put to him, he must now be in the clear now......amazing defense
  12. Downloaded my forms from the IO website....pdf...........filled in on the laptop, super neat, double checked.......got to the desk......do again, you used the wrong form.....????
  13. Never going to happen.....sugarcane is the killer....all sugarcane to be delivered with their leaves attached.
  14. There's a large dam being built not too far from us and we see a lot of fully loaded cement lorries........the speed they drive at through the villages is terrifying......they have no concerns about killing anyone.
  15. Do what I used to do......go to the big sports shops and pretend to be interested in buying a set of clubs.....they'll let you spend hours on their computerised range....555
  16. I've said thanks....don't understand why we can't see who has posted what emoji wise????
  17. I have enough trouble getting my own money out of my own bank account...........hats off to him for trying that.
  18. Very few farmers don't have a tractor, or easy access to one. The problem is allowing sugarcane leaves to be burned either in situ or on the ground. The only way out of this is the demand all sugarcane is delivered with the leaves on and the big processors have to deal with them in a safe manner.....landfill?
  19. We live in about 2000 acres of rice fields and none of the rice straw is burned......it is piled up and used for cattle or left to breakdown in the fields. The only place this doesn't happen is around BKK where greedy farmers try to get two crops a year.
  20. Occasionally....and I know this is totally wrong......I wish I lived in the US and had a gun......
  21. How the hell does a curfew stop someone lighting a fire.....????
  22. Cheers......bit on the small side, but quite a character....
