Where are you pooping?  The Mekhong river is 50 meters away from me so it would be better than most.  I've had a few nightmares of water and electric being cut simultaneously and woke up sobbing.

Upstairs, as we had the septic tank emptied a couple of weeks ago.

I am following the old saying,

If its yellow, let it mellow.

If its brown, flush it down.

The government water was still of at 4pm, but it was back at 5pm. For how long??????

People (including my wife laughed at me a few years ago when I moved the 6 ongs to a slab behind the kitchen and added 14 more and cross connected all 20. I added another 6 more several years later but they are isolated from the others.

There is a klong across the road, but I think you can walk across it in a few places now and not get your feet wet.

Let's have a snap election and boot out PT in favour of MFP.  Then Yingluck will have to continue her extended shopping trip to Harrods.

That will 1.  be up to the Thai government when and IF the next election will be, 2.  It is up to the Thai people how they vote, and 3  it will also depend on the result and whether those in power will allow the vote to stand.

Whether Yingluck returns or not depends on many factors but getting right down to it, if the person at the very top wants to allow her to return, nobody lower down can stop her returning.

Perhaps Tony Blair's wife would volunteer, though U hear she is very very expensive to represent you.

Good. I hope this killer terrorist rots in the hell hole she chose over the UK. 

I doubt that she has killed any more people than you have, hiding anonymously behind your keyboard.

Granted what she did was the height of stupidity but at 15 with a home background and a future like she would have faced it, may have been just a lark to begin with.

What 15 year old nowadays or even then know what they want yo do for the next 50 or 60 years of their lives.

Having said that I still wouldn't want her back in the UK.

No I haven't, and I haven't forgotten the civilian deaths during WWII to eradicate the aggressors, which was far worse.  

 

But that is not the same thing at all.

I was last week a few days in Pattaya and watched these "vehicles"  driving on public roads (the side walks were all occupied by parked motorcycles or selling stands) and many of them were developping a decent speed.
My question: is a Driving License required for these vehicles and why/why not?
Why is a driving license required  for vehicle "A" and not for vehicle "B"?

 

I like the red third one best. I don't use a wheel chair (yet) and #2 doesn't look particularly safe to me.

Mine, an electric 3-wheel, is economical to run. Charging via a separate charger takes from 6 to 13 hours depending on how low the lead-acid battery is. Electric bill is minimal.

 

It’s top speed is 48kph and range on a full charge is 45 kilometers.

 

Could you please tell me what model you have and how much it cost. Would it be possible to fit some 12V led lights to it to make it easier to see, even in daylight.   

I live 6 km from the big village in rural Thailand and I use my pick up truck to get to the shops and back. and back.

I am 79 with bad knees and a bad back.

Do I hear Thaksin's voice again?

 

NO. Why would you think that?

I think the headline is incorrect ...

 

' lend ' is not appropriate ....    ' leased '   is more fitting.

 

you lend your neighbor your screwdriver in the hope you'll get it back ...

A lot will depend I suppose on whether it is a 'dry' lease which is where (in this case Thai) only get the aircraft, or a 'wet' lease, where in this case the owners of the aircraft In this case (Aercap) supply the aircraft, crews, servicing etc to Thai.

A dry lease is cheaper initially until the cost of servicing etc kicks in and only works, IF you have your own crews etc and have previously operated that model of aircraft.

Take three or four cold showers when the days are hot. That helps a great deal, and it's what many Thais do to cope.

A great plan but the government water was cut off last week and my wife tells me that it "should" come back on in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Was it a case of;

Can I screw you and then she bolted 

or

I'd be nuts to be screwed by you?

 

Any more nuts and bolts suggestions or am I screwed?

Carrying on the theme of nut, there is a different version.

Sounds like they can hack in like they were Air Traffic Control. 

There is no need to 'hack' in. All it takes is some person or country that is aware of the radio frequencies used in any area world wide, (and they are not secret), a radio transmitter with enough power and a a receiver and you can listen and talk to anybody in the world whose radio is open and tuned to the frequency you want to listen to.

All you need to do is to listen to the calls for a few days and you can work out who is on the other end. Indeed if you use (I think Flightradar24) with your computer you can track any civil flight worldwide 24/7.

Military flights are a bit harder to track, but given the right equipment there is no reason why they cannot be tracked also.

Is the PM suggesting giving funds to the UN that Thailand doesn't have without borrowing, or suggesting that Thailand should be one of the lower income countries that will be the recipient of funds from richer countries?

Perhaps the PM should consider cleaning up Thailand and enforcing existing current pollution laws first, using Thailand's own funds.

Have a good day.

I am still trying to find decent posts worth reading that small children on the forumdon't constantly trying to disrupt.

Thank you for your good wish for the day.

Mine is going downhill for the next hour or so as it is time for my daily exercises.

Rip..probably suicide as the police always say. No further investigations need to be done case closed.... Feel sorry his family

Absolute BS Inspector Clouseau.

We used to have outdoor cats for years until about 4 years ago when the last one went walkabout.

Last week a young cat turned up from somewhere and looked hungry. So my wife gave it some fish and now the cat seems to have adopted her, probably because she feeds it and it tolerates me. 

It has made its home on top of an old chiller cabinet and is not happy with our neighbours dogs.

I am quite happy for it to live here, provided that it knows that its job will be to kill rats and hopefully to kill all the pigeons that live in my MIL old house.

You don’t  trade stocks  do you ? She makes huge money on insider information… every stock trader knows it. 
 

 

And your problem with that is what exactly?

If you are accusing her of insider trading, all you have to do is prove it.

Without proof, then it is simply an allegation, and meaningless.
