  1. We are not what we say we are nor stand for what we say we stand for. God Bless Us!
  2. Back home I had a mate in the glass business. His biggest jobs were night clubs supplying mirrored walls etc, and they always came after the clubs had been burnt out by "accidental electrical fires" just at a time when the venues needed a decor/theme change. As 'luck' would have it the revamps were paid for by insurance claims. However I can never understand why sometimes he had the requests for quotations and new plans BEFORE the fire??
  3. Thank you. An excellent documentary which I somehow seem to have missed. If you havn't read or heard of it before there is an excellent book on the subject by Jim Garrison, DA of New Orleans 1962-74 titled "JFK: On the Trail of the Assassins" which discloses a lot of the same especially Lee Harvey Oswald's ties to the CIA, the cover-ups, the misinformation, etc. How do they continue to get away with it all?
  4. There are over 50 countries that accept 2 jabs of Sinovac now including the UK, Australia and the USA.
  5. No that is incorrect. Try to look past the China hating and it will be clear to you. I am in Isaan and since July the vax has been first shot Sinovac followed by AZ as second. For the last 2 months or more its been AZ for 1st and second. Over 60's such as myself and those with ailments such as my wife with diabetes, have been both AZ starting from 6 July which is the date promised by the govt. They havnt been using Sinovac for a while here.
  6. Mmmm can only give you my experience but I live in Kalasin province and got my first AZ (NOT SINOVAC) shot first week in July. I am over 60, which may contribute, but the hospital rang, said they have a stock of vaccine but many locals were refusing so they started looking at farang on the list. My FIL refused to be vaccinated until his youngest daughter offered to pay him 1,000 baht per shot. Make what you will of that. Something else I have noticed up here is the locals having no idea about current affairs. I have never seen a newspaper during the 8 years here let alone someone reading one. The TV channel is changed when the news comes on to whatever Thai soapy is available. Everything is word of mouth and mostly wrong, For example yesterday was the end of our rice harvest where all the workers get together for a feed and a few drinks. No masks were to be seen. About 4 or 5 of the men were drinking lao khao, all from the one glass as per usual, and when another worker rolled up wearing a mask, he was told it was not necessary because everyone was vaccinated.
  7. And the police did this on their own? Me thinks there's something missing from this story??
  8. By being willing to discuss it, are they in fact saying that gambling is more acceptable to Thai culture than pornography is even though gambling destroys 1,000's of peoples lives every year?
  9. I hope they checked with the CIA first to make sure this wasnt one of their operations to raise funds to support the overthrow of some democratically elected government or possibly to finance their war on drugs??
  10. Yeah thats what I thought according to the settings (1 month) but it went ahead and updated overnight after only 1 week.
  11. So any economic recovery is due to returning expats because they have already admitted that very few are tourists. Notice the wording is now 'arrivals' not 'tourists' LOL!
  12. I am still having loads of problems with Win 10, certainly not looking forward to 11. MS have done 2 updates in last couple of weeks even though I have done everything I can find to turn them off. Each of the updates have removed all my files, settings etc and taken me hours to reverse the updates and get my laptop back. It would be nice to actually have some control of your own computer or get an update that works instead of them releasing a product and them waiting for their customers to tell them whats wrong with it!!
  13. Apart from everything else you have to take into consideration that Thais believe that every farang has a money tree in their backyards, that there are no poor farang. All those tens of thousands or more of farang who have been out of work since this pandemic started have just had more time to harvest 1,000 baht notes from their money trees and now can have a nice holiday in Thailand.
  14. Actually, 6 of the cars were found to belong to a dead friend from whom Joe was just borrowing them.
  15. Always best to check with your local Imm Office as they often vary in requirements and change all the time. My local office is actually asking for less documentation than before.....surprise surprise!.
  16. It is still considered "work" because you are receiving benefits from that "work", namely eye candy.
  17. He's another one of those poor subjects from the Reefer Madness brainwashing trials. Nearly 70 years and still infected.
  18. Marijuana LEAF is legal now but not the buds (f/m flowers). Lots of leaf on Lazada for sale. No it would have been the meth that set him off. Police found it in his system. They dont call it yaa ba (crazy drug) for nothing.
  19. Yep he woke up like that the morning after his going away party back home haha! I mean surely you wouldnt volunteer for that.
  20. https://visaguide.world/news/45-world-countries-recognise-chinese-sinovac-vaccine-for-travel-amid-covid-19/ This has since been updated to 50 countries now accepting Sinovac for travel however since the article was published, the UK, Australia and others have joined the list. I guess the authors forgot to check with the experts on TV first LMAO!
