Get PEA to check your meter and also to see if some mongrel has tapped into it. Something seems wrong.

I believe in NZ and Aussie it's a saliva test for drugs. That's all I know... You test positive and you don't drive. Don't know if there are blood tests that may follow on afterwards. With alcohol you are given an option for blood test... But you pay for that.

NZ is a great place to visit. Bloody expensive but reasonably clean and tidy. It seems as if the minority now control the country to the detriment of everyone else. The me too movement hasnt really helped those with a legitimate claim. Just more dole budging arse wipes who try and jump onto the band wagon for a free pay out... And often succeed. Luckily it ain't as bad as the UK but it's moving in that direction. I had more of a culture shock returning to NZ when working in the Middle East. It's not the place I grew up in. It's gone backwards.

So you think she's a bit sassy huh? You better perform or she'll give you the finger too!

Bloody hell, so the rules are very loose. No wonder these 'accidents' occur. But in saying that, back home we used to have a standard for lpg cylinders (not unlike the gas cylinders we use here for cooking). It revolved around manufacturers date and after a certain time you had to get the cylinder pressure tested and re-stamped with the test date. If your cylinder wasn't current then nobody would fill it. Then it all changed. No more refilling. It became swap a cylinder. And responsibility for testing lay with the provider. No more did the consumer have to worry/pay for testing. Damn good too. However NZ is in the process of ceasing use of lpg. Gas stoves are on the way out. Price of gas is increasing. Personally it's a sad state of affairs but the government is too busy trying to appease all the tree hugging voters! (Greenies)

Correct... It wasn't. All it stated was that could be a fine upto 5000 baht. I was thinking the same.

Maybe this was the driver when dressed in character: AKA: Hong Kong Phooey

I'd raised this point once before. A different incident where it was stated that the limit was 0.5 milligrams percent and the drunk driver was over the limit at 0.110 By my maths 0.110 has aways been less than 0.5 Another member on AN said I was stupid if I couldn't work it out! It's a weird system. 0.5.is the same as 0.500 go figure? Percentage of alcohol per litre of breath is used in NZ. Limit of 250 micrograms. There is also another scale for blood tests.

My point is: Perhaps they are not 100% happy with Thailand and need an excuse (or push) to finally move elsewhere. (like a straw that broke the camels back)

Maybe they are just needing an excuse to get off their keesters and actually do it?

That's called stamina!

It doesn't say they weren't either.

I thought this topic was about the weather and rain?! So what the hell are gays, LGBGTH and WTF ever being mentioned here? Take that crap back to your bedroom and play with it there. I don't think the majority of members want to listen/read anymore of it. Or start your own blog somewhere else. Thankyou

Wow yes that would explain it. Oxy acetylene used in welding. As you stated acetylene can be very unstable. Very flammable. Many years ago back in NZ, I was cleaning up my father's workshop. He had two 6ft tall cylinders one of each gas. I remember dad telling me to be careful with them as he said acetylene was unstable. I was about 12yrs old. These cylinders were in a trolley that had tiny wheels. During the clean up I decided to move them. Hell they were heavy. I managed to get a few feet away from the original position when a wheel got stuck on old bolt or something. It became too much to hold and I knew it was going to fall. I have never run so fast in my life! I made it out of the shed before I heard the bottles/cylinders hit the concrete floor. And I didn't go back for a least half an hour. It took some doing to pick those bottles back up. Never told my dad about that. Scared the living crap outta me. I expect this explosion goes to show how lethal this stuff can be. Poor bugger was just doing his job, unfortunately safety isn't always priority here in Thailand.

Lovely bit of cool weather at the moment. I'm enjoying the rain too. I don't mind the heat but 43° is/was a bit much. I like this time of year.

So he had 5 other women on the go? Perhaps he got sick of looking at Porn....

A bit meaty in their description... I can't see how an empty cylinder would have exploded. Near the rear of the pickup, the body of 30-year-old Pantit was found. Pantit, a daily wage worker from Maha Sarakham Province, was critically injured, with his body torn in half. He was still alive and responsive upon discovery but succumbed to his injuries shortly after. I

Strange, I lived in Bohol (Virtually in the middle of the Philippines). Immigration side of things wasn't a problem. Food is... different. But you won't starve. Yes the main religion is Catholic but the girls still wanna have fun. Regarding a requirement for a police clearance to leave? I never used one. And when my other half became a person that didn't like, I simply hopped onto a plane and left the Philippines. Fantastic beaches and great diving. Safer riding for motorbikes too.

You need to keep up oxo, dcsw53 beat you too this joke 7 hours ago (previous page).

“I like it … I like it.”

“I don’t know if this is such a wise thing to do, George.”

Some locals were seen running around with large plastic bags.... Apparently trying to scoop up the toxic smoke. What lovely considerate neighbours! Smoke concert to follow.

Not much difference between dumb and stupid. In Thailand you are always going to be in the spotlight once released from prison, unsure if they have parole here. I would have thought one would steer away from trouble and keep out of the lime light. Silly silly boy!
