When you realised that "she" had a little something ,did you still bang it ? He already said that he pegged her but didn't share with his friend.

I read a recent article on how an American posted an opinion on social media about Londoners being insular and rude. This was based on his observation that the morning commuters on the Tube don't acknowledge each other's presence. All heads down, on the phone or heads burried in papers, even when shoulder to shoulder. Sounds like all they need our @Stevey to go give them some of his legendary what for.

If it's an Italian rebranding of a Haier product, it will be fine. I have never had problems with any Haier products that I have bought.

Deport and black list! Oh, wait....

I can see where that must have been disappointing. Just goes to show that even educated and intelligent people probably still subscribe to the Daily Mail.

Maybe they pass away on the seventh month? For married with family, 400k would be a "typo" but a single person, cured of the 2-week millionaire syndrome and living within their means, it's probably doable. Just.

A copy of the wife? Not the original? I see.

If he's squatting in a Chatuchak condo in Bangkok, maybe he has that same deep itch to scratch as many among us have. You know, temples and beaches and the like?

A bit like watching a cricket match, Not quite. More like watching a rained-off cricket match.

Missed the comparison of a long weekend break, did you? No, not at all. But I can tell apples from oranges.

This forum's click-through rate, that's who.

Yeah, it's just no fun anymore.

It's almost 80% of deaths and injuries that involve motorcycles, not accidents. Absolutely nothing ponderable there.

Wow... have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you stay in Thailand too much?

And this forum is just a big bunch of gurning pensioners with nothing better to do who can't do anything about it. They never learn either.

Or, as a pre-presidential "Dubya" is alleged to have said when asked how he liked his women, "Same as my Scotch. Eighteen years old with Coke."

My buddy Fred, sadly deceased, was a Captain with the USAF during the Vietnam conflict. We used to have an informal 'steak club' every Monday night back in Houston and settled on Pappa's Steakhouse on Westheimer as their steaks were consistently good and the bar was cigar friendly (Captain Fred loved his stogies). Anyway, he liked his steak done blue and it was his recommendation for the cold serving plate. After being served a less than perfect steak that was attributed to a 'new chef', he insisted that if there was a new-hire cooking his steak, he had to be personally introduced to Fred in the bar and advised on exactly how the steak should be prepared, cooked and presented. The management eventually added this to their official menu where you could order your steak cooked rare, medium, well... or 'Fred'.

I like the garlic and rosemary but never in the pan. Cut the clove in half and rub the open face across the open faces of the steak on each side as it's cooking. Same for the rosemary. Brush the steak with the sprigs while it's cooking in the skillet. So, to review... Steak out of the fridge an hour or so before; no pre salting and/or marinade. Get the skillet hot and drizzle the steaks with olive oil and then liberally grind/sprinkle coarse sea salt on both sides. Let that settle for a minute or two before dropping the cut in the hot, dry (no oil, no butter) skillet. Brush with garlic and rosemary as above, remove and rest. Eat and acknowledge some English celebrity chef's YouTube for the above 'technique'. I like skin-on, butter mashed potatoes and lemon-garlic grilled asparagus for the veggies.

Same experience. For home cooking in Udon, have you tried Pan Foods at the Samrong-Ring road traffic lights? Before covid, they were primarily bulk wholsesale but now maintain a decent fridge/freezer stock for the individual walk-in shopper. There's also some some good Australian grain or grass fed steak cuts to be had at Makro. A recent discovery there were Australian beef picanha cuts that were the best I've had outside of a Brazilian churrascaria. Dining out for steak in Udon sees Prime Steakhouse in the back alleys north of Wing 23 with favorable reviews.

You've got a point there but having flipped between driving in the US and Europe and the 'leftie' countries, the only places I found I had to pay attention was junctions in the cities with tram lines and bicycle lanes or at roundabouts. My observation in sleepy old Savannakhet is the locals know how to use roundaouts better than their Thai brethren and there are less flying idiots on 2-wheels. FWIW, I just spent a few days in Busan, S Korea and the colored 'traffic guide' road markings in between the conventional white markings would take a bit of getting used to.

I opted for a Thai driver to take me over and back. I watched the procedure carefully and it's pretty quick: personal immigration, car immigration and on the way after getting the QR code. There was only ever 2 or 3 people in the queue. If I do it next year and it costs less than the 3000 baht the local guy charged me, I may get the 'car passport', insurance cover and whatever else is needed and do it myself. As we drove through after maybe 10 minutes doing the in/out procedures, I saw some glum faces on those sitting in the waiting room, waiting for a bus.

What do they list for TR application support on their Consular website? With the single, Indian file submission queue and tiny window at Savannakhet, it's pretty hard to check what the person in front is either submitting or getting asked. If an applicant turns away all angry and stomps off muttering and cursing, I wouldn't be game to ask them what hurdle they got tripped up on. Maybe a recent TR applicant will drop by and advise?

In my humidor in my man cave in deepest Isaan. All my cigars are bought overseas from cigar shops with walk-in humidors and stock control. I also buy them duty-free online from a Hong Kong cigar specialist but that 'personal import' regime is fraught with challenges here.

I will send you a private comment. None of these amateurs deserve it. Cool. Then @2009 can post it here.

But we were only coming back from the 7 eleven. BTW, you sound like you're new here?
