  1. YES! We've got a front row seat the Global Armageddon and NOTHING is going to save us!
  2. I'm not going to lie the best decision is to get out of the relationship as fast(and cheap) as possible. You deserve A LOT more than what you're getting from her.
  3. My neighbor has a 2021 HS, he bought it for under 1 million baht. He has driven it all over Thailand and had zero problems. However, he does take outstanding care of it, very clean(spotless lol), premium petrol, and all maintenance done on time. These MG's may not be as reliable as Honda or Toyota but for many it's really tough to pay their prices. I'm not big on the MG5 or ZS but I do like the VS and HS SUV's. The MG4 EV is highly rated and cheap here compared to the UK(5,000 pound less and you can talk them down even lower). Are there any other major car brands here in Thailand that will give you over 10% discounts?
  4. I went to MG today with a friend test drive the MG VS Hybrid. The VS is a subcompact crossover. During the test drive the ride was a big surprise. The VS handled very well, the 200Nm torque electric engine was very quick, actually frightening at times. My best guess is 8 seconds from start to 100km/h. The interior is sharp, I won't buy a car with bad seats but these were top notch. Two big touchscreens in the front, makes the car look very modern/upscale. I'm not too fond of the front grill but not too important to me. Also, the VS is a little small compared to the HS but it can be an advantage driving here in Thailand. I was very impressed, will test drive the HS PHEV next week. The search continues.
  5. No allegiance unless the ladies back home lose at least 2-3 stone, which will never happen.
  6. It's funny the west got largely destroyed and then they said "ok, you can have this cesspool, good luck!"
  7. I will buy electronics on Lazada if: 1. LazMall Certified 2. 4 or 5 stars rating 3. Many items sold(at least in the hundreds) 4. On Sale(20% or more) Right now I don't see any name brand smartphones for 20%+ off on Lazada. Banana usually has good sales on smartphones. Banana now has an Oppo Reno 8 Z, over 20% off.
  8. Congrats goes to Spain, they were definitely better than England this game.
  9. I'll say this; if climate change is real then we have exceeded the carrying capacity of the earth.
  10. Interesting how well the Cross GR Sport compares to the HR-V. I'll probably drop the HR-V from my short list of new vehicles to buy. Right now I am looking at the Honda City RS e:HEV for 850,000 as the 40L tank might go over 900KM.
  11. I agree with the poster who commented on the pollution. It's brutal at certain times of the year, extremely bad for the health. I bought an Air Purifier and thankfully it keeps the AQI between 15-20. I can do one year, maybe two but that's probably it for me.
  12. sqwak is right Thailand is cheap and comfortable and that's a big problem for me. I have no struggle here, it's killing me.
  13. One good/not so good thing about living in Thialand is the absolute proof the western countries are in steep decline.
  14. Living on a Prayer - I'd rather eat glass shards than listen to this sh ite. Smooth - The fact that radio stations overplayed this song so much is a hate crime. Shake it Off - Um, Turn it Off. Season's in the Sun - Terry Jacks is the main reason 1974 sucked. Anything by Captain and Tennille and/or Neil Sedaka.
  15. That quirky coffee shop set up in a decommissioned Airbus 300 in Sattahip.
  16. If you have a mini-split A/C I would check the gravity drain(not just the air filters), it might be full of moldy goo that's just sitting there not draining into the hose that snakes out of your condo. Mold grows easily here, I have had huge problems because I'm highly allergic and I've had to track down mold in my sink drain, shower drain, and what I found in my mini-split was unbelievable. I had to call a professional to come clean my A/C and I still have mold/dust spores so I've just recently purchased a Xiaomi Air Purifier 4. Air Quality inside is often much worse than outside air quality, even in a place like Thailand. Indoor AQI might be as high as 100-125 while it's only something like 20-30 outside. Wow, those pillows. My first thought when I saw the pics was that mold spores grew on them because they were slightly damp when the OP left 3 months ago. If you have mold in your A/C the spores are sprayed all over the condo but you'll only see the mold after it grows on something wet/damp, usually in a very stagnant area like very moderately damp clothes in a closet, or behind some furniture. If you get your A/C cleaned and open your condo up for at least 30 minutes a day you should be able to keep the Air Quality ok.. ..but for people like me who have savage mold/dust allergies we have to go the extra step of buying an Air Purifier. AQI of 100 inside my condo is INSANE.
  17. Well, in the video at .40 one of the obese brits hits the Thai bouncer without provocation. He rightly got beat up in the process.
  18. I think your weekly buffet 55b TALK PLAN somehow wiped out your Internet On-Top Plan. Honestly, it is all rather confusing that's why I always talk to customer service and tell them exactly what I want. I have the Internet On-Top Plan(4Mbps).
  19. I agree this latest crime story is interesting, but nothing to lose your head over.
  20. Producing hydrogen takes A LOT of electricity. It would require fossil fuels, not just solar and wind. In short, it's dirty to produce clean hydrogen.
  21. A gym here in Pattaya would really have to sell me a whole program. For instance, a one year program with a partner(not an expensive personal trainer). It wouldn't even be hard to do; here's your plan, here's your partner, here's your step by step workout plan. We will track your progress and you will too. When the customer walks in the door he's not just handed a towel and told "good luck, work hard". Then, a few months after the grand opening start putting pictures of the guys before/after showing their hard earned results. After that there will be ZERO problems attracting new customers. I
  22. In the 80's and 90's I moved to a different military base almost every year. I saw how impossible military marriages were, mostly divorces and they saw their kids once a year. No way I could deal with that. In the mid 90's I was 30 years old stationed in Guam for a year, the guy sitting next to me was literally married to a prostitute. I made claims that I wasn't ever getting married but I guess he didn't believe me. One day he vaulted out of his chair, pointed at me, and loudly exclaimed "You really mean it when you say you're never getting married!" I was like "yeah, I thought you knew that". Of course I never met the right girl, but if I did it still would have ended in disaster.
  23. Oh yes, I have ONE major ten year goal, and that's to stay healthy. Other goals are to stay friendly, positive, be there for my friends, try to make someone smile everyday. Be thankful for everything.
  24. I think it's way too late. I'm not right or left I just think only corporations run western countries. Even politicians are slaves to the evil doings of corps. And it's not just big corporations, even a lady running a small 5 person business uses the exact same playbook..which is to hire cheap labor and rake in all the profits. People have become weak, they either cannot or will not fight back. Actually, people are so dumbed down they don't know 1/10th of the truth. What's weird is the west is still super strong and mostly stable. But, this is 2023, I have a feeling the west is really going to be a mess in 10 or 20 years. These are the good times, we should be celebrating no complaining.
