she asked if you needed a "chiropractic session with toppings".

Hahahaha .. is she a pizza .. 

I remember the Dalai Lama ordered a pizza once. He asked the guy to make him one with everything.

“Try engaging in domestic hobbies to avoid boredom, such as gardening or light exercise, which will also improve the body’s immune system,” he added.

' light exercise' - does that mean you need to get up to switch it on and off yourself?

New series of bulletproof appeared this morning.

It looks like all 3 episodes of S03 were shown this morning?

I see E1 appeared on magnet five minutes ago, hopefully the rest will follow.

 Why not say น่าควบคุม ? 

 

I felt it to be wrong as soon as I had written it. ควบคุม is not the right sort of verb.  น่ากิน น่าจะทำอย่างนี้ 

Here are a few suggestions given me. เป็นคนชอบบงการ is to direct how things are done(?) 
เจ้ากี้เจ้าการ : นิสัยชอบเจ้ากี้เจ้าการ  I am still trying to work that one out. เจ้าการ means that he is the boss I suppose.  กี้ Longdo isn't much help!  I think that it means that he decides on timing. เจ้ากี้เจ้าการ the one who decides when and how(?) 

I had no idea about เจ้ากี้เจ้าการ  I looked it up in my Thai>English dictionary which describes it as 'officious person, busybody'.

I'm talking about someone in, say, a social group who likes to tell everyone what to do, rather than to arrive at a decision by mutual discussion.

I so far think the use of อำนาจ used for power over something/someone has been the closest word - but whether I'm wrong just because I associate with that power of attorney, I don't know.

Mon Dieu!He's back on Field Punishment No 1, yet again?

I had to look that 'one' up.  I thought initially it was urinating in the open.

Apparently not:

"consisted of the convicted man being placed in fetters and handcuffs or similar restraints and attached to a fixed object, such as a gun wheel or a fence post, for up to two hours per day."

If the deceased was infected with COVID-19, the casket cannot be open for viewing. Funeral prayers can be conducted before the person’s portrait.

While this is a sensible precaution, I think it affects only three funeral arrangements in the past few weeks. Or am I missing something?

Hmm, sounds familiar:

I think that should be 'Ne dis pas plus'.

 

Not to worry as I've just buzzed Antwonette and she has Justine (a girlfriend) staying tonight, and asks if that's not too much for me.

 

Un homme qui ne peut plaire à une femme toute la nuit ne peut pas être français.

Je n'ai plus rien dit.

I can only think of La plume de ma tante.

I know Mr Owl would like to live at the family farm.

 

Just waiting for electricity to arrive.

 

He really has been a bad Owl. Deserves all he gets for such bad-taste posting.

 

Or as we say in our parts:

 

^{Il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences}

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

 

Anyway! I'm off to see Antwonette for some love.

Ah, "Dit non plus."

Why does it remind me of, "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty owl."

Perhaps this is an apt vid then.I can't find the version I have but it's should be good enough.

I thought you might be going to post a video of Charles 'as-no-talent Aznavour.

 Why not say น่าควบคุม ? 

I follow your thinking, but since my OP, another poster said that word was more specific to controlling traffic or machinery, rather than referring to someone's temperament.

When asked which problems the police should tackle immediately (multiple choice)

99.9 per cent said brown envelopes.

The police agreed. They want larger ones.
