This is true! While on operations in Somalia in 93, the 6th fleet was just over the horizon. One of the ships had a McDonald's outlet on board. Senior staff were known to get a helo out to it just for a feed. I sh*t you not.

Further details emerged: the driver, frustrated over a dispute regarding a DNA test for his child, had mistakenly thought Pirakan was a relative of his ex-wife and attacked her in a fit of rage. The police continue their investigation into the matter. So that was a fair reason to fire the slingshot at her? What a lame piece of doggy do do. A relative of his ex wife... WTF. How about a friend of a relative of someone you thought you knew that looked strangely at you and reminded you of your ex wife, now that maybe feasible! Piss weak excuses seem to be a normal for these folk. Lock em up danno

I found the same at Lotus'sss a few weeks back. They've changed the alc % from the standard 40 to 37.5. Possibly for a lower tax rate? But the new stock (37.5%) is the same price as the older 40% stock. Wine prices are still stupid for what is essentially red vinegar... Nasty stuff.

I miss the old ramshackle ways when nighttime street vendors set up their wares on Sukhumvit road. Sure it was a pain if you were trying to go somewhere quick but the ambience was unique to the area. Haggling with vendors to get a few baht discount. Watching tourists that had no clue pay top dollar. But as they say, time stands still for no man.

Will you two boys grow up! (GG & CC)

I use it too, once I've had enough clap trap from a person then they join that list. I've a fairly high tolerance so some survive but they are walking a thin line.

I'm always surprised by how inexpensive bike parts are here. Even servicing is a hell of a lot less than NZ. I still do my own oil and filter changes tho.... Just a creature of habit! I finished reviving an older yamaha Mio a few weeks back. About 2000 baht and it's like new now. Keep on riding!

This is the real Bob:

Hey Lou, are you always this argumentative? ,Seems like no matter what anyone says you'll always take the opposite point of view. I suppose it generates a form of conversation for you.

Sparrow or Myna?

No but it seems a few upper echelon officials suck on a few

He's just a kid with good work skills and obviously found a niche market that wasn't being filled. Pity he didn't do it via correct channels.

Well done guys, keep up the good work.

Yes the government is after every little satang that it can get it's hands on. Guarantee this won't be the last of money making schemes. What's next? Hit tourists and foreigners with some other ridiculous form of tax?
