Of free will, mind you

You must be too young to remember conscription or national service then.

so u dont lose ur assets. the only reason to marry is for kids

Does it really matter when you lose your assets?

After all, you can't take them with you when you die anyway.

of course that's why just having one partner means boring sex or no sex, most probably don't bother doing it for years on end 

You seem to think that sex is the be all and end all of life.

So what do you do, when you are not having sex with various different partners?

Dead is dead as my wife says, with due respect and she's Thai.

So what? 

Millions of soldiers, sailors and airmen have died in wars across the world since 1914 yet they are still shown respect on Remembrance Sunday every year in London where parts of the cities roads are shut down every year.

Personally, I would have brought Bangkok to a complete standstill in memory and respect for those unfortunate young school kids and their teachers.

Up yours the critics! (from a country bumpkin)

Critics, (possibly concerned netizens) should wind their necks in and show some more respect.

Whilst I agree with your response, quote "Up yours the critics! (from a country bumpkin)" I think that your comment is mild compared to the one I would like to have made which may well have given me a long holiday from the forum.

What power would that be, and why would you need to have it?

It's hard to imagine anyone still believes the BBC is a credible news organisation.

Actually it isn't that hard to understand at all.

Where do you get your credible news from?

If the BBC News is no longer credible as the OP claims, it certainly didn't happen overnight yet the 2 people that claim it is correct are both former members of the BBC News. Was it happening on their watch, and if it was, why didn't they take steps to stop it?

Unfortunately just got mine on Thursday in Petchabun so missed the offer. 

The offer may only be at a limited number of stores where it was over ordered and not at all Makro's.

shhhhh don't want to alarm tourists lol

 

 

 

nasty bite

 

 

 

AFAIR jellyfish have no teeth, so they will sting you. Large fish OTOH (sharks etc) have teeth and can bite you.

I do agree about the nasty bite.

Does anybody know where I can order western style sausage mix and hog casings in Thailand and get them sent to rural Thailand?

BS... they've already placed the order and paid the deposit.

However the Chinese shipbuilders cannot meet the original specs of a German made engine but have offered an untried Chinese engine instead.

If they cannot fulfil the original spec in the the original contract, then the contract should be cancelled and the Chinese shipyard should accept the losses.

Maybe the cat got mad when she didn't go the direction it wanted to? Evil animals, their owners as you can see are similar. 

Do you think that I am evil, especially since my wife and I were adopted by a cat.

I suspect that your post is nothing but BS.

The Australian Labor Government is a full on member of the progressive woke left. Their position in power is looking very much like that of the Dems in the US. No way will they rethink their ICC membership. As @sherwood they don't want to upset the Muslim voters but I would add to that free Palestine mob which of course are not all Arab or Muslim but are progressive idiots.

Are they all idiots just because they don't agree with your opinion?

Thanks I'll be at Makros on Monday.

Up here in Kamphaeng Phet, Makro has stopped selling sausages and also frozen flaky and puff pastry. Probably not enough call for them, as it is only a small province with not so many farangs living out here.

Sausagemeat with high pork content (85% minimum), salt and pepper is all u need for a basic sausage but you need proper sausage skins. Loads of recipes on YouTube, they should be easy to make if you can get the raw materials. 

 

FWIW I've not had any decent restaurant-served sausages in Thailand versus what I'd cook myself in the UK (I don't buy the Richmond/Walls ones that KannikaP rightly derided and seems to be the usual standard or worse seen in Thailand). I'm sure they are out there. but if u can make your own they will be better. 

 

I cook my sausages in the oven btw rather than frying. Makes skins crispier and sausages less fatty. Grilling or frying are the alternatives. 

I tend to make my own sausages and I have started to grill them along with homemade honey and mustard bacon, cut very thick.

I must get my eyes tested one day. The good thing is that there is no human blood or bits of finger in the bacon slices.

None with an idea on what to do.

Knowing what to do to move large concrete power poles is knowing that normal people power will not be enough and that heavier equipment will be required.

Hence 

quote "Nongprue municipality staff then made the pivotal decision to deploy a crane from their heavy-duty fleet. Expertly operated, it managed to shift one of the enormous poles, relieving the distressed dog of his concrete bonds".

Better to use a large crane that attempt to move the pole than using people power which is a much safer plan. That way no people were injured.

Common sense 101.

Very distasteful comment indeed. People have died. Apart from this dope won't kill you.

 

Perhaps dope alone won't kill you. However that only really applies if you personally mix up the cannabis yourself. However if someone else has done the mixing and someone else has done the selling, how do you know that what you are buying is perfectly safe?

The same goes for the bad hooch. If you get an unopened bottle of what you order, it should be fairly safe. If however you are taking shots from a bottle that is offered without you seing it being opened, you have no idea if any methanol is added, nor how much.

IMHO it is a case of let the drinker beware of what is offered, especially if it is offered for free.
