FACE book.

I blame the dogs - but then I always do.

Preferably very black. This has the added benefit of being illegal but prevents police identifying you; not that they EVER try.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I did it for a short time on my ex-wife's farm when I was turned 70. They work hard planting, then take a couple of months off to watch the growing; then a couple of weeks harvesting. Of course there's also the holding a buffalo's rope for 8 hours in the shade.

You've obviously never been an employer in Thailand. It seems, from your answer, that Education is the key to eradicate the lazy gene. I support that theory having been a teacher for 39 years, (reading and writing French to a high degree; German to a lesser degree; I even passed Latin & have a decent smattering of spoken Thai.)

They obviously mistook him for a farang.

I can't even find out when Pattaya Immigration & Bangkok Bank are open as it's Visa renewal time.

How do the experts know they are enigmatic? Have the bugs been interviewed?

Finnair is bad at everything. They charge exorbitant prices for on-board alcohol; there are insufficient overhead lockers; now they fail FIVE times to stop two selfish <deleted> from smoking.

At odds with the headline?

After besmirching their uniform, will they be allowed back into the force after serving/not serving their pathetic sentence?

RTP.

'The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.' As is the source of the one million baht she didn't put in the bank?

They do this every day. Until you see police out on the roads nothing will change.

Wasn't it yesterday there was a parade of high-ranking RTP officers strolling down WS & milking the photo-ops?

A ground-breaking first! I've been in this area over five YEARS & seen ONE cop out doing his shopping. They don't even show up for the traffic mayhem during rush hour.

Report him to the police ... oh.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Ripley's 'victim' is a painter; they view a Caravaggio; their view is of stunning Italian coastline; it's difficult to tell if the Picasso on the wall is from his 'blue' period. There's a discussion about how hideous the colours of a dressing gown is. For all that it's riveting.

But why shoot it in Black & White? I am terrified neighbours will call round and think I don't have a colour TV. Only one episode in and find it very slow after 'Renegade Nell'. I just started 'A Gentleman in Moscow'. Ewan McGregor stars despite sporting the most ludicrous false moustache I've seen on TV!

It took Plod 3 years to find this activity. I can point to a dozen addresses where this goes on; AND they're not FAKE!

Even the Thais are fleeing Songkran. I'd risk an earthquake to avoid Pattaya Waste-of-Water Festival. I went to Makro yesterday & can now withstand three weeks of famine and flood.

The Ambassador Hotel Na-Jomtien is 20 clicks from U-Tapao. Watch this space. Its population increases by 300% at weekend as Malay men cross the border for Thai Oats.
