  1. Sunlight is a natural killer for these things. So if you dry your stuff in the day time that will help. You could also run a hot iron over the pillow slips.

     

    Unless you need to travel and don't want wet clothes then the dryer might  a good idea.

     

    My only problem with Mom and Pop laundries is I once had a new T shirt pinched when an Englishman said it was his when it was drying and the girl gave it to him. They charged me for the cleaning and I said where is my T shirt. "Solly england man say his', I said then dont charge me. OK. Hope the mongrel put on 10 stone and it no longer fitted him.

  2. At least they didn't go the elongated process that Australia did which was largely opposed by religious entities who are notorious for hiding homosexuals, Lesbians regrettably kiddy fiddlers.

     

    Not hurting anyone except the relatives who are hoping to get a property and money when one of them kicks the bucket. I assume this means proper marital rights for inheritance etc where properties are concerned.

     

    Could be a bit of pressure on some falangs in Boyztown now.

  3. I have used those 3 m things for years. Everything from frypans to framed photos. I have one next to the door for keys . The landlord was impressed when I asked him and he said if we leave we can leave them there if we want to because they are saving space in the kitchen and bathroom.

  4. So the Nation did not bother tp ring the BIB nor the neighbours. That would have been the responsible thing to do and smart as well. If Police stop it they get some kudos. If they don't bother then run a story with  "Our reporter rang Maj so and so at relevant police station and informed him of what was going to happen but Police chose to ignore it. Inactive post coming up when senior copper in the area is booted in the arse and he loses face.

  5. If you wanted to move to a regional city or town that has a population decline or a skill shortage it would improve your chances. Rent would be cheaper, housing would be cheaper and yor wife could get a gig initially at an RSL or club or a restaurant. Most Thai restaurants are run by Chinese. I took my girlfriend to two that the staff could not speak Thai.

    the same way they always did before, those beautiful woven containers for dry goods, maybe lined with leaves, and metal containers for the rest. It really is not a problem. just bring your own food container.

    When I lived on the darkside one of those mobile food vendors used to offer a small discount or give you more if you took your own pots outside.

     

    Have not had a visit to Tesco Lous in Soi Arunothai when the number of bags was near equal to the amount of items purchased. I keep handing them back or telling them to put the solitary can of fish in with the beer, it won't hurt either.

  7. My TGFs brother was a Thai boxer in Sakeo district and was very good, Two coppers half way home bailed him up after a fight and said "You win" . Yes . Well hand over your prize of 3000 baht. He reluctantly did It happened again a month later. The next time he told them no. I need to pay my trainers etc. One copper pulled a gun. He refused thinking he wouldn't pull the trigger. He did but was a misfire, The boxer grabbed the weapon and turned it on the cop and pulled the trigger and it fired and killed the cop. The other cop apparently shit his pants literally and got on his knees and was begging for forgiveness.  Boo was arrested and charged with murder but it was downgraded to manslaughter and he couldn't get off on self defence. He did 8 years.

     

    Boo told the cops if he had of got one more extortion he was going to throw fights to get money that way. The local Police Chief was furious as he had mage good money on him so transferred the other cop to a shit post somewhere near the Cambodian border and stamped his file never to be promoted or transferred.

     

    The correct procedure was not to charge Boo at all and fire the copper.

    Thanks. I have a laminated copy of my passport hadn;t got round to updating it because I was going to do it next week as my landlord has a copy shop and they do it for me for 20 baht.

     

    As it dries out we can make out the main page and visa stamp. When it fully dries I will see if the unused re entry stamp is visible. The TM7 won;t be a problem.

     

    No I didn;t yell. My fault for leaving it my pocket and she has offered  to sell some gold for the cost of replacing it.

     

    The website mentions nothing about damaged passport and says you have to go to Bangkok to pick it up. And when I tried emailing it throws something up that doesn;t work.

     

    And last time I went to the embassy I was the only client there. I was told to take a number and waited 15 minutes before they saw and charged me an a heap of money to witness my stat dec. It wasn't lunch time so what were they doing?
