    Almost finished S1 'The Couple Next Door'. I have not been as impressed by the plot/dialogue/characters as much as this in ages.

    There were a lot of motor bikes in the video. The gunman was clearly identifiable.

    I thought the Irish were renowned for holding their liquor?

    Mysterious case of the Missing Word - thank you for finding it; 'insufficient luggage spaces'. Aged 80, I suffered terrible cramps from wedging my carry-on in the floor well during the 10 hour flight. My distress/subsequent complaints fell on deaf ears; I was offered bonus points for flights I would never, ever take.

    I took my Thai GF to US. The officers at LAX were extremely rude and bellowed at me when I tried to assist. The process of acquiring the Visa was unbelievably stressful and onerous. There was NO appointment system other than a date. Spouses were not allowed in so I waited outside the Embassy four hours with nowhere to shelter from the sun. We never went back.

    The 1st thing many Thais do on conventional bikes is to modify the exhaust/silencer by driving nails into it. That way you get less kilometres per litre but attract admiring glances at your look-at-me bike as you drive past the many deaf stall owners on the pavements.

    I pity him; I only did this flight once; the price of drinks was astronomical and there was insufficient luggage in the overhead lockers.

    Were there any police at the meeting? They know all the gambling dens locally.

    An enclave of Chinese living in 10 million baht houses? Sounds like a job for Big Joke ... oh!

    What are they officials of? Have they no powers?

    Re; multiple riders on a motorbike, four is commonplace; I once saw 7, some of them children.

    I doubt it very much; there aren't enough officials with sufficient English to follow these discussions. If there are Government people reading this, please be aware, IF you attempt to tax my already taxed pensions in UK, I will be moving to Laos taking my 800K with me.

    Next year there will be a meeting to make clear what responsibilities the local police have.

    And for only 6000+ baht; a far cry from '163,000'.

    In UK I suffered hayfever every year until I heard about Kenilogue(?) Long Acting steroid injections. I got an instant cure that lasted about six weeks which was the bulk of the season.

    The policeman is showing lots of interest so I suspect the latter.

    Drug use maybe; not drug production.

    Until they've checked who their fathers are.

    It was so massive the police didn't notice it, but arrived afterwards when all assailants had departed and the clearing of debris had started. (From yesterday's report.)

    'Pattaya cops stop brawl between Kuwaiti tourists & Thai bikers' - the headline is misleading. Pattaya police don't do work; they fill out forms or watch CCTV.
  21. mikebell
    Pattaya's police presence gets bigger by the day but only round the waist; ample food + no exercise (AKA work).
  22. mikebell
    There's never any police out and about (on patrol) at 5am......great policing.
  23. mikebell
    Presumably he saw the body before or felt the impact after?
  24. mikebell
    As they learned to juggle the figures. Well below if they include the police.

    Clowns are energetic and earn their pay.
