  1. I was actually thinking of writing a warning in Thai, something like: "Beware! Bees inside!" and sticking it on the post box. But then I thought maybe I'd be sued by a stung postman for not getting rid of them sooner ???? . So are they bees or wasps? This better photo should clear that up:
  2. The full story is, my landlord opened up the box to show me a lot of water laying in the bottom. He put his hand inside and got stung. Then lots of bees/wasps came out and started buzzing around us. He wanted to show me the water laying in the bottom because he had earlier removed a bill that was soaking wet, and gave it to me. He wasn't stung that time. But because 6 to 10 of these bugs started buzzing around us, I'm a little apprehensive of setting them off again by spraying them. I was hoping there was some dry powder or chemical that I could put in there, run away and go back when the deed was done.
  3. Here's a picture of the inside of my post box: The brown blob at the back is a bees nest (or wasps nest). I've circled three of the bugs: My landlord has already been stung once after putting his hand inside. I don't want anyone else to get stung! So the question is: How to get rid of them?
  4. Sacked Ukraine Commissioner admits to LYING over Russian atrocities to get more weapons 9 June, 2022 https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/sacked-ukraine-commissioner-admits-to-lying-over-russian-atrocities-to-get-more-weapons/
  5. Not? Google: iEarlGrey youtube "Some Choice Words for @Aiden Aslin"
  6. I just checked my cheque book - a 25 quid cheque sent to my brother in England for "postage" in November 2012.
  7. Please come to Makro and watch the dullards lovely people attempting to pay using their phones.
  8. The reality: 1. Fumble in your pocket or handbag for your phone. 2. Switch it on. 3. Swipe until you find the banking app. 4. Tap it and wait for it to open. 5. Find the buttons to get to "Scan". 6. Tap "Scan" and wait for app to run. 7. Point phone at QR code and wait for response. 8. Try again because it didn't work. 9. Enter the amount if required. 10. Enter your security number. 11. Enter your correct security number. 12. Wait for a beep. 13. Close app and put phone back in your pocket/handbag. 14. Take bill from cashier.
  9. I used to hear the thumping bass from this track in the late 60's booming through the wall of Dino's coffee bar in Beachlands, Hayling Island, while I collected money from the tourists parking their cars on the beach for 2/6d (4/- on Sundays).
  10. From your post: "It appears that the death toll from Covid is much higher than previously thought" From your link: "Excess mortality includes deaths associated with COVID-19 directly (due to the disease) or indirectly (due to the pandemic’s impact on health systems and society). Deaths linked indirectly to COVID-19 are attributable to other health conditions for which people were unable to access prevention and treatment because health systems were overburdened by the pandemic." So your post should read: "It appears that the death toll from the pandemic is much higher than previously thought".
  11. The "call" is for one or more trained and armed persons to be on duty at all schools.
  12. Ah, yes! I remember that moth from a few years ago. Very pretty. Haven't seen it lately, but it's obviously still around. And I did pick off a very big light green hairless caterpillar from my main desert rose a few weeks ago. OK, I'll keep removing those eggs and keep spraying with Acetamiprid. ????
  13. I keep finding these yellow oblong shaped things on my Desert Rose flowers. Are they eggs? I spray with Acetamiprid every few days. I pick them off when I notice them.
  14. With the twaddle you read and watch going by what you post on here I would say the only one dreaming is you and Putin's dream to have his "Special Operation" done and dusted within a few days. I'm so looking forward to coming back in a few weeks...
  15. Interesting! There's a Peugeot dealer in Phuket just north of Central Festival shopping mall. And it's quite close to Hyundai and MG and BMW and Kia dealers! Looks like I'm going to be busy.
  16. Yes, it's the Deep Crystal Blue that I'm looking for. I went to the Mazda dealer called "Mazda 4S" in Wichit, Phuket and they didn't have the Blue - just the Grey. Then I went to Nissan, Chao Fah branch, and they had nothing of interest except a 999cc turbo-charged something or other that developed 100 HP. It was only interesting because it is a ridiculous car, and it costs less now than my pickup did 20 years ago. Now to check out the 2022 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, which is described as Black on Youtube, but looks more like Blue to me: And then there's the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, to be checked later.
  17. His career as a comedian, an actor and an owner of a production company continues. It is now called "The Government of The Ukraine".
  18. OK! I didn't look at that model, but it looks really good - MAZDA CX-30 Model 2.0 SP 6AT 1,199,000 baht - https://mazdacity.co.th/all-new-mazda-cx-30-promotion-2020/ I'm 5' 10"+ D*mn - just noticed - that's for 2020. I bet they don't have it in Blue! Unless I can be sure it's available in Blue, I won't bother the eye-brow plucking / spot squeezing sales assistant at Mazda, Phang-Nga Road, Phuket Town. I felt bad enough disturbing her today as she spent at least a minute looking in a mirror doing stuff, before I said "Sawasdii Krap" which triggered her to shout "Farang!" to the empty showroom.
  19. That's a good idea! I could test drive the grey one and, if I like it, order a blue one from Mazda, not the dealer in Phuket.
  20. I asked her if I could order one, but she said it was an old model. Crazy ????‍♂️
  21. Another wasted day going to Phuket town. ???? So this is what I wanted to look at: Nice looking, BLUE, and there it is on the Thai web site: https://www.zigwheels.co.th/en/new-cars/mazda/3-fastback/price-amphoe-mueang-phuket So I went to Mazda, Phang-Nga Road and was greeted by much "Farang!" being shouted by various "sales assistants" until one showed up who could just about... oh, never mind. So I showed her the picture - the same as the one above - and she showed me the Grey one. "No, I want a Blue one", says I. "Mai mii! Old model. We have new model. Have Grey." Good grief! ????
  22. My Renault 19 16V was blue and beautiful to drive.
