🎵Thailand swings like a pendulum do, one day a million next mutiplied by two🎵

He was just doing a bit of research, that's all...already have Ladyboys why not Cow-Boys?

15 days to decide how big the BPB is going to be...what a farce.

At the very beginning of Joe Biden's term I had a bet with a friend that he wouldn't make it through to the 3rd year, Well I lost that bet and now I know why. I wasn't considering the politics just the man as I saw him on the various occasions in the news. I felt sorry for him because he just didn't appear to be a well man imo. It was sad watching the Biden/Trump debate last year and whoever convinced JB to be there need to be ashamed of themselves. JB looks and sounds just as bad now and instead of using his time to relax away from politics and enjoy what time he has left, he is embarrissing himself again.

Would be  "nice" if they mentioned that the Soviets did actually manage to land  more than one craft on Venus and send images back  the only country ever to achieve such a task.

Russian Venera craft...

All this just so the church can attempt to give direction to the big orange buffoon.

The Independent says that the new Pope is not a fan of the present US admin.

Well, if you mean Pres. Trump, according to the Independent, the new Pope is not a fan of the present US admin.

Ipos obviously has heard the three songs that that the Army play every morning and evening.

Well, that might give 'wet dream' a new meaning.

Geez, no escape from that. Condolences.

Sounds like someone had AI spew four thousand words psychoanalyzing what the rest of us just call being a grumpy old git with WiFi. Apparently getting cranky online is not just bad manners, it is now a full-blown medical condition according to people with too much free time. Who knew all it took to explain a few angry posts was a PhD thesis and absolutely no sense of humour. Imagine writing an entire essay to diagnose what could have been solved with a cuppa and a nap. Turns out it is not just arthritis setting in, it is also chronic comment section rage syndrome. So basically, old blokes are arguing online because they are bored and stubborn, but thanks for making it sound like a groundbreaking scientific discovery.

Ha, maybe thinks AN has university aspirations 😄

My condolensesto the families.

At just past 9 a.m. I was driving along the 210 route going out of Udorn. A lot of large trucks and Lorries with trailers battling it out, well those that seemed to have no loads, and passing me while my speed was about 80 km/hr. The traffic lights at Nong Wua Saw were green as I approached and crossing the junction trucks whizzed by on both sides. I did think the truck on the left was going to turn left since it was in that lane coming up on my left. But it didn't. I decelarated so that I wouldn't get caught between them but then the driver of the Lorry at my rear started honking. I was already in the left lane approaching the incline and with traffic passing on the right I had nowwhere else to go. He was still honking as he eventually overtook. Phew, I thought.

According to https://www.tmd.go.th/ BKK has 35^oC at 1300hrs and Udorn at 38^oC. Maybe other provinces are higher but I haven't checked.

I remember that after being in Thailand for about 5 years I was helping a Thai friend who was a manager of a gym. He had several thousand leaflets printed advertising the gym. He gave me some so I could distribute them...but I immediately saw a glaring mistake... a word with a double vowel '...าา'. I thought 'this is not going to go down well'. Having showed him the mistake, First he thought it might be just one or two leaflets but each bundle was the same. He was furious. He sacked the two individuals who 'designed' the ad because they obviously hadn't checked finished examples. He told them who had found the mistake and as they left, well if looks could kill. I went to the print shop with him where there was a big argument because the shop claimed that the proof had been accepted. In all I found four mistakes, the others being words with missing vowels. The manager of the shop was not pleased with me because he said that I probably influenced my friend to demand corrections free of charge, which of course I hadn't. I think I learned about the value of Thai 'loss of face' on that day.

Well the way I see it is that if it is just for Thai citizens it will reduce the queue numbers so that'll be a plus...not that I had any trouble last November but then I didn't use the main office in the province.

Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends

 

Here's a thought.  Quit being a snowflake. 

 

What happened to the good old days when we jokingly referred to each other as Pollocks, Guineas, WOPs, Rednecks and a hundred other familiar greetings that would trigger a lefty tantrum today?  Back then, we could take a joke.

 

Agreed. 'Sticks and stones.....'
