No, it is preferable. Some of us like to whine and be a “victim” though.

Gee everyone has gone soft and will complain about anything these days. People just look to be outraged. Next they will be on “mental health” leave because they felt “demonized”. Gawd.

If the Republican shooter had of just aimed a little more to the right the world would be a different place and arguably much better. He has made a great mess of the last three months. Lets hope he gets some good advice and can improve things.

7.

I knew I had forgotten some 6.

Big week for us Brits in Thailand even by our low standards. 1. Knife wielding Thalang Brit pushing Thai kids off bikes. 2. The dopey Brit playing Russian roulette by himself. 3. The road rager hitting the thai van driver. 4. The Pattaya slapper. 5. Above. Thats just the reported cases. Did I forget any? Hard to keep up these days. I would like to remind our fellow countrymen that we are guests in this country and this constant news worthy trouble making is starting to annoy our hosts which will not be good for any of us. It is being reported on every thai news channel. Looking forward to next week.

https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2025/04/11/british-mastermind-in-cannabis-trafficking-case-arrested-in-bangkok/ One of the primary suspects, Mr. Adel, 30, was arrested on April 10. He allegedly played a crucial role in the operation by securing accommodations to hide cannabis-filled bags and coordinating foreign couriers who transported the drugs out of the country. Following the arrests of several network members, Adel fled Koh Samui and was hiding in a luxury condominium in central Bangkok

Thanks for that explanation. Good news and likely to happen. Things will get violent again though, those MAGA morons don’t accept losing.

They had better suck it up. another 3.5 years at least. Dumb as rocks.

Thais are always nagging me to shower more. It is a bit annoying

Have to say in Thailand I would rate it 1. Israelis 2. Brits 3 Russians A few Chinese crims about but the are not really “tourists”. We Brits brought Israel into existence which is warring currently. Russia is a attacking another country in a war currently. How much more peaceful would the world be without the Israelis, Brits and Russians?

More than Cadbury glass and a half. He could have killed someone.

I am convinced he just likes to argue and or complain. Severe personality flaw.

I am black from the waist down.

South Pattaya Klong?

Shhh. Dont tell Richard. Only happens to me after a heaps of bongs on top of the booze. But it definitely is a good safety tactic

Exactly drunk, drive, slowly. Exactly what I have been advocating. At least some people get it ever if others want to carry on like old Aunties.

Easily

I don’t know what world you to live in. Of course I know that they all got home safely, because I see them again. It is called socializing, you should try it sometimes, good for your mental health to have friends. Over 30 years experience drink driving and I have never had even a minor accident, and I can not recall any of the thousands of people I have drank with over the years ever having an accident either. The closest thing was my car getting smashed into when parked out the front of the pub by a sober driver coming around the corner too fast. I was in the pub and everyone heard the smash. Bloody inconvenient that was. I had to pay for a taxi home but insurance reimbursed me.

You are carrying on a bit. Especially for someone who claims* to get his friends of drink driving charges. One of the advantages of living here is when I go back to the UK I can volunteer to be the designated driver for my friends. If they take my license off me there I don’t lose my Thai license.

I don’t know how many times I have to say it. If you are going to drive after having a few PLEASE drive safely. What I am advocating will save lives. I would like to think people have listened and many lives have been saved already. When people are leaving the pub I always say goodbye with a friendly reminder to drive safely. I am making a difference.

Yes, very dangerous. Think of your son.

With a couple of spliffs for an extra rush.

It is about my limit now I have moved on to large bottles instead of small.
