Wouldn't kick her outta bed for eating chips

I think there is no doubt that a burr grinder is superior for grinding coffee beans for espresso machines. However the blade type grinders are sufficient for grinding beans for drip or filter coffee. Each to there own really. Some people live on instant coffee and are happy to do so. Others may prefer percolated coffee. There is no right or wrong as to what people prefer. I'll drink a $10 bottle of wine quite happily whereas my brother won't touch anything under $25. Same same. Some may say a lack of education is the reason, maybe but it's up to the individual as to what is acceptable. Tastes also change.

I love it how they apologise to the victim..... Sorry we got caught is probably the only reason why.

If you're into diving, the different areas you can go to is amazing. Marine life is abundant. Here you need to be in the Andaman Sea. The gulf of Thailand is pretty much dead. Agree accommodation rentals are dearer. Visas are cheaper. Booze about the same price but they have better dark Rum. Easy to drive there and get licences. Hospitals are OK. Dental work is good. Food is crap. But you can cook your own at home. Food (wet) markets are ok.... You get use to the smells! Flights out of the country can be expensive. Domestic travel is not so bad. Lots of ferry services to all islands. If I didn't have a Thai partner I'd be looking to revisit.

That's an accident waiting to happen. I doubt much will be done until fatalities are involved.

And???
