  1. yes , it would be good to see Moscow flattened .... a Moscow Hiroshima would be welcoming site.
  2. he's a no good for nothing Russian .... front line for him .... they can use him as target practice.
  3. The internet use to be considered as one of the best inventions since sliced bread as it was a learning tool for each and every kid who had access. If you wanted to know the facts or history on just about anything you went to the internet. In those early days I think the internet was respected and admired somewhat because it was so invaluable for information and all considered true and correct. Sadly however, as years went on and the internet got bigger and bigger then the media platforms like FB, Twitter and Tik Tok came into the picture as there was money to be made, and it's genuine use as a learning tool in schools and at home became less and less, which you can thank FB, GAMERS, Tik Toks, and many others for. Now this mega conglomerate internet network is full of scams, fake information, false photos and untrue claims are endless, it has turned from a useful learning tool into a monster of deception and weirdness. It's hard to decipher what is true and correct now on the internet, and there are so many nutters on social media now out to make money. I only use LINE app as a simple communication tool to stay in touch with two or three friends and that's about it, the internet is still a good source for information on any subject, provided you can decide what's true and what's fake.
  4. supposedly Opera GX is more for gaming ... it has added features that gamers may use. I use the ordinary Opera as it's faster than Brave browser, but the Opera browser has many bugs in it so some things don't work properly with WIN10.
  5. If you walk through any Thai market and see what's been sitting in the trays for the last 4 hours you probably wouldn't eat Thai food again. Most dishes look disgusting, and they're all served cold. ( yuk ! )
  6. very sad for those two lads, I remember the two brothers that were killed when it first started, their father from Khon Kean lost his two boys at the same time .... very tragic for him. Difficult to imagine how he gets through every day when seeing their photos at home. RIP young boys.
  7. yes ... agree, The US & Australia slipped up there with Cambodia and letting China move in ... the same with Vietnam, the US and Vietnam were just starting to lean towards each other and then along comes China with a suitcase full of cash which Australia & US cannot compete with. They'll be Chinese naval bases all over south east Asia by 2030, the only blessing is that they didn't get PNG.
  8. would you believe anything to do with winnings in Thailand ... I certainly don't ...... far too many scams and fakes here.
  9. so it's a Chinese made untested prototype sub-engine ..... hmmm .... what could possibly go wrong !
  10. any update JoeyMac .... ?
  11. no .... she was Trafficking heroin and she deserves severe and harsh punishment for all the young lives she ruined at her expense.
  12. yes ... I tend to agree with this. he shouldn't have signed anything without adding or changing to reflect the other guy going too fast and too close. not sure they care about the DUI, no helmet or bike license. ..... and this is why he should have had a Thai friend / helper with him ..
  13. As I mentioned JoeyMac, The problem is you need a Thai friend to go with you .... when you have someone else with you they ( the Thais ) won't try to pull a fast one, and communication is much clearer. If you don't have anyone to go with you then find someone .... pay them a couple of hundred baht to be your translator or helper. This way your translator will tell them straight that you don't feel you are 100% the blame as the other guy was going too fast and too close. And tell them you feel the other rider is also to blame, and if they're not happy with your 50/50 blame then your ok to take it further and they can discuss it with your lawyer ( just say ) If you can't find someone to go with you you'll have no option but to go alone ... but the speed and too close is the one you push for ... then it may come down to a 50/50 blame ...
  14. The Motorbike taxi did not drop me of a pavement, instead kind of parked with room on my left hand side (enough room for a motorbike to squeeze into). As he stopped i got off towards the pavement side (which was my left), and dropped the bag. The bike that had the accident tried to drive fast inbetween this space, on my left hand side, and went over my bag. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok , so he was getting off the bike and the other bike came through at speed on the inside ...
  15. The problem is you need a Thai friend to go with you .... when you have someone else with you they ( the Thais ) won't try to pull a fast one, and communication is much clearer. If you don't have anyone to go with you then find someone .... pay them a couple of hundred baht to be your translator or helper. Go to the station ...... don't admit anything, don't sign anything, see what the cops have to say. Put it across that the other guy was riding very fast and very close .... otherwise he could have veered around the bag on the road. See what the cops say .... if it can be settled for a few thousand then that's good for you .... but .... not sure .... as the other side will want money.
  16. TIT .... he will most certainly be blamed as it was his fault in dropping the bag on the road. None of what you said above will come into play here ....
  17. This is correct ... thank you. He dropped his shopping while dismounting from the taxi motorbike. And as he was dismounting he dropped his shopping bag on the road as another bike was pulling in to park and this bike ran over his shopping bag which caused the rider to dislodge ( fall off ) his bike while coming in to park at speed.
  18. I hope she has a terrible life from now on and reflects on all the young lives she ruined through her previous drug use, and I hope the book doesn't sell and is a big flop.
  19. oh ' so they should offer her a nice room in a hotel and a hot cup of tea then.
  20. is she Shapelle Corby's sister ?
  21. It might clash with their World cup Olympic games or their NASA secret rocket launch or some other world class event they have going.
  22. The whole story is hard to decipher .... Maybe it's time to get outta Dodge
  23. wow ! those guys sure know how to throw a party ..... I don't think Thais know the meaning of the word respect or empathy
  24. oh dear ' and of coarse it is your fault as you caused the accident to the guy on the other bike. ambulance, hospital, every thai rushing to help the thai ... this could cost a packet .... just saying ......
