Korat Kiwi

Serves the silly biatch right. If she had the sense to wait a few years then she may have received a nice inheritance. Now she will get diddly squat. Where's the money she stole gone? So in reality same outcome? Probably a gambler full of greed that wanted more. Loser.

As a result I think the girls are more likely to want to sink their hooks in. By that I mean they want a relationship in order to get out of their personal rat hole. They speak very americanised English which can be a bit hard on your ears over time. I don't know what it's like in Angeles city but one day I hope to get to Davao and see what's happening there. They probably ain't into it like Thais but look at their population... they breed like rats!

Main Road Mae Rim 2016 Amazing guy 20161104_210048.mp4

When I was living in Chiang Mai (Mae Rim to be precise) there was a local guy who use to work in 5 star restaurants. However his heart wasn't into that scene. Lucky for the residents of Mae Rim in that he set up a street stall right next to a 7-11. Every evening from about 6 to midnight unless he ran out of food. Very good fast and healthy food. He was a wonder to watch in action. Many a night I'd sit there waiting for my order with a cold beer from 7-11. Even during torrential downpours he'd be busy at it. Him and his wife were lovely people, always smiling. Would love to go back and see if they're still operating.

Dammit and here I was waiting to see what model of Indian motorcycle.... It wasn't even a Harley!

Makati just out of Manila has a huge slum area. Every so often a mysterious fire breaks out, a few lives are lost and the area shrinks a bit. Some say it's cause by 'officials' trying to clear the area... but who knows. When I was living there I never had a problem with feeling unsafe. In fact in the last week I went to all the places I was warned against... and I had a ball of a time. I treated the locals with respect, even bought a few beers and it was reciprocated.

Why do they (in the related news story this time) go into so much detail as to what the victim is wearing? It's not as if they are going to appear as a Victoria's Secret model in the next hour or two. Strange practice by the media.

Well you wouldn't want to piss this woman off.... there's certainly a cog missing upstairs and I don't think she would hesitate to use the knife. Absolute nut job. Padded cell time methinks

It's 32 in Rizal... currently 37 in Korat. Feels like 40 but we have a slight breeze

I don't know about BKK but up in CM there are heaps of cooking 'schools'. They take students around the markets to show them all the different types of fruit and veg and how to tell if its fresh/good quality etc. They are generally well attended and don't cost the earth. Check Mr Google. There is bound to be lots of places available

Possibly because Farang DJs know how to mix the music to Farang tastes? Just a guess

I'm 25kms NW of Korat central and it's getting warm. Only been here since Nov 23 and lowest night temp was around 23 Celsius. Highest day temp 42 so far... 39 yesterday and probably the same today. It's alright if there's a slight breeze. It just makes ice cold beer taste that much better.

Put away or put down? I know which one I'd vote for.

She can beat me if she likes.... And yes he seems to be enjoying it too. There's money to be made here...

He's probably in exile already.... going by the history of senior government officials.

I have done some good dive trips around Bohol and found the nearby beaches on Panglao to be very clean and family friendly. Infrastructure leaves a bit to be desired but it's manageable. I didn't mind it and the immigration side is a bit easier than Thailand. Like has been said, they come up with great ideas but frequently fail to finish them. It's like they just lose enthusiasm or change government's. I prefer Thai food hands down. Not fussed at all with most of the Philippines food.... Including Jolibee! Didn't mind their San Miguel or Beer na Beer and they do a nice drop of dark Rum. (Old Captain is better than Tanduay). But at the moment I'm happy in Thailand. Should things change dramatically then the Phils could be an option.

I'd think you'd have to be quite skilled to take off an arm although in certain parts of Africa it's relatively common where there are 'troubles'. I even recall when I was working in Bougainville a true story of a guy who cut off his brothers arm with a machete. Why? Because during the 'uprising' his brother went to the opposition side and burnt down his house. Nasty stuff but retribution is swift over there. I hope they catch these maniacs.

Have you tried Britmans idea... Could save you heaps of Euro and batteries.

There are thousands of remotes on Lazada however trying to find one that duplicates the functions or is on the same frequency will be the challenge. As you said replacement is available from Europe (Czech Republic?) and postage can be more than cost of item. But this may be the safest option to ensure you get a remote that works.

2 rocks, 2 points and a packet of gravel....

Day 2 of Groundhog day.... SSDD. 🥱😴

They're probably miserable everywhere to be fair

OK..... Can't please everyone

Such as Bob had a couple of things he couldn't stay away from...

Thanks George.... probably the funniest thing I've seen on AN for quite some time. Sent a copy off to my siblings in NZ. Possibly make national news back there!
