Not that blind obviously.

That's it! I'm off to Sweden as soon as my eyes stop bleeding. Thanks OP!

Top marks for persistence. Bottom of the class for lessons learned. (See you again soon)

If only I was a betting man, eh?

If you need to ask...

That's about right. Coming back from Saturday night dances in Rothienorman, there was no way my Vauxhall VX490 could keep up with Billy Patterson's Triumph Dolomite Sprint. ...but I had loadsa room for the girls and for that, the bench seat and column shift worked loads better than a bucket and a stick.

Your reckoning is off. You are arguing from ignorance. You can't take a position on something you nothing about. I am ignorant of the bliss of flying gliders - hence I make no ignorant opinions about it. If you have never experienced something, it's best to stick to asking questions. Dear @DualSportBiker, You quite honestly have absolutely no idea of what another person's experience or knowledge is of anything. Especially someone you don't even know. One doesn't need to stand in front of a speeding car (or fall off a sport bike) or ingest some totally unknown substance to experience the fact that there's a very real possibility that it won't end well.

Is this the same freight train that came in 1932, 1933, 1939, 1947, 1951, 1957, 1958, 1971, 1976, 1991, 2006 and 2014? Having 'caught' the last four, I can honsetly say that I can hardly wait. As some Thai's like to remind us, “The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment.” However, with regard to Thai politics, I think its more like, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."

Where's the bwah-ha-ha-ha emoji when you really need it? PS: I'm commenting on the pariah bit, not losing his ar5e in the election. With the possible exception of Plaek Phibunsongkhram, there's not a single coup leader and former Prime Minister who has ever become a pariah. Ever. Most moved on to work in goverment, politics and business with a few being elevated to the Privy Council.

Hi PJ I reckon I do.

Being an atheist doesn't mean one is prevented from doing a "dance around a fire." You can do it at any time that suits especially during the current burning season here.

Hyundai sedans were a bit of a bust here but their minivans and people carriers have always been great value for money. A client of mine had one converted into his 'golfing wagon' and it was really stunning with the captains chairs and minibar. Their new Staria looks way better than Toyoyta's boxy offerings.

Why? Has she got a younger sister? (asking for a friend)

Depends on what business you're planning on setting up in Laos, no?

Maybe you missed some of the EARLIER military-led coups where tanks and soldiers WERE relocated to strategic locations? However, I'll give a slight nod to your highlighting my dynastic inaccuracies. Because you say so? Right.

I went to Korea.

When I was 18, I never considered doing any inhalants or pharmaceuticals. If I hadn't reached escape velocity after six large bottles of Newcastle Brown, I switched to shots.

First, the OP needs one of these.

So, you subscribe to the alternative "yabaa-crazed ladyboy, on failing to find a wallet, angrily stabbed the guy and ran away" theory? You don't get 'high' on these chemicals. You get royally f***ed up. There have been plenty tabloid stories of otherwise nice and normal people doing pretty awful and 'out of character' things when bent out of shape on the alcohol/meth/ice cocktail. Plenty more to come as well.

It wasn't mentioned , but it stands to reason that someone who stabs or cuts himself has serious mental issues. If you don't have personal experience with or knowledge of mental health and aren't familiar with recreational drugs, then like myself, you are totally unqualified to suggest that this guy has 'serious mental issues'. For example, I was unaware that a combination of alcohol and marijuana would result in my parking a BMW I didn't own behind the old Marine Plaza and, clad only in a large bath towel, going upstairs at the Marine Disco in time for the 'lucky number' draw.

RIP Joe. Hugely infallible and always unflustered, you've certainly earned these plaudits. An undeniable vacancy exists but I beleive there's already one or two members who look like good apprentices.

I made an error with my passport expiration date on my K-ETA application that resulted in it being issued but with a short validity and not the default 2-years. I was able to cancel the approved short-dated one as part of new application process with the correct information. This was approved but I had to pay the application fee again. When you say 'he wants to remain in Korea', this suggests he's currently there (and unemployed) or otherwise has been there for a least 2-years already, an assumption based on the K-ETA validity rules. There was a very recent news article about how both the Thai and Korean government departments that handle these things are reviewing their procedures to eliminate the 'little ghost' problem and channel migrant workers via the legitimate employment channels. Both parties claim this is to stop workers being abused by illegal Thai and Korean 'employment agencies'. Maybe the wife's lad has come up against this and the refusal is related to his previous work entitlement and how it was procured? As you stated, a Thai applicant needs to supply 'working details' so maybe whoever he's listing as an employer in his K-ETA is black-listed already?

Party pooper. (not my party)

.....and tanks on the streets. The show must go on. Are some of our collective still upset that Prayuth's coup is historically the most successful and peaceful one in theoir history with absolutely no need to roll out the tanks or men in green? Everyone knew and mostly agreed that Yingluck's administration was a terminal sh1tshow. Even Yingluck and her acoloytes new this so it was almost inevitable that she would exeunt (be exeunted) the same way as her father. There's no indication of any festering inter regiment or army class rivalry that suggests that the current military management fancy a tilt at sitting in the big chair either. It's going to be like a typical family night out at the movies where some get it, some don't and lot's of popcorn ends up being uneaten.

Hell and snowball's come to mind.
