  1. Surely for 2000 or 2500 one can stay a night in Malaysia and experience something a bit different. Everyone is in such a rush these days.
  2. That'd be sure to really "annoy" them. Perhaps you like having someone looking at you while working, but most don't.
  3. Use a Safe T Cut and IMO everything inside the house is protected. Mine saved me at least twice.
  4. Nothing Mai Pen Rai about what I said. The flex covering closes up, and it's actually quite hard to open it enough to put the wire inside. If one is cautious one can use insulating tape around it as well. Safer IMO than an amateur unscrewing electrical wiring to put it through the flex cover and perhaps not putting it back properly. Do it right first time? LOL. We are talking about Thailand, are we not?
  5. You support criminals then? Overstayers make it harder for everyone going the legal route.
  6. Indeed. Eventually he'll get sick or have an accident and have to go to a proper hospital. Then he's for immigration detention and a flight home. I wonder what happens to the people that enable him to overstay.
  7. Indeed "nothing" may happen to the man because he didn't do anything that rises to the level of a actual crime. They've had almost 2 years to find something to pin on him, and the best they can do is refer something to the DOJ in the final days of the committee's existence. If he was on record as saying "invade the Capitol building and hang them all" that'd be a crime, but he didn't say anything like that.
  8. LOL. If actual treason was involved I'm sure a certain person would have been charged with it already. If they can't find treason to pin on him after nearly 2 years it is likely to not exist. It's not like they haven't been trying to find something that will stick in an actual court of law. Anything can be made political if desired .
  9. Not on it's own, but IMO the EU has deep and systemic problems that may cause it's demise. The exposed corruption may be a trigger though.
  10. Like any British expat that chose to live in Thailand, it was surely your choice not to live in the UK, and therefore must accept that life does not always go the way we want if we choose to live in a foreign country.
  11. If he had chosen to shoot himself in the head he chose the part least likely to do some real damage. Sadly, where I live I see a few people that could shoot themselves in the brain and it wouldn't make any difference.
  12. Still banging that drum I see. Every thing we see can be reduced to pixels, everything we hear reduced to vibrations- all already capable of being manipulated by a machine to resemble real people. The only difference when AI comes to be is that instead of someone wearing a special suit to give the computer something to work on, green screen and hundreds of people working on bits of the movie the machine will be able to do the entire thing without any human involvement other than telling the machine what to do. Given that you apparently don't know that even Anime movies can evoke emotion, I guess your movie experience is somewhat limited.
  13. Last John Wick wasn't as good as previous, and the next one is taking so long to come out I'll have forgotten what happened in the original.
  14. Indeed, one needs to be sure riding a m'bike is included on travel insurance if going to ride in LOS. Seems so many leave their brains behind when getting on a plane. When I visited Had Rin for the FMP usually saw farangs bandaged up from falling off m'bikes on the road over the hill. One accident I saw involved a farang family trying to ride m'bikes on the mud road north on east coast of Phangan. Mum, who may never have ridden a m'bike in her life had ridden off the road into the undergrowth! Luckily for her it appeared the only injury was to her dignity.
  15. Beat me to it. No idea why anyone thinks a Thai can't do that. Also, does the OP speak excellent conversational Thai to manage staff?
  16. LOL. IMO they spun it out as long as possible to have their time in the limelight, and hoped it would help in the election. IMO it's been entirely political theatre from the get go.
  17. Not counting the NZ nurses and doctors that refused to have the jab and got sacked for it. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/456395/over-100-nurses-sacked-after-refusing-vaccine Just over 100 nurses, 14 midwives and 10 doctors have been sacked from District Health Boards for refusing to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
  18. Here's Carley Simon. She really knew how to sing a tearjerker Legend in your own time But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legends only a lonely boy When he goes home alone and We have no secrets We have no secrets . We tell each other everything About the lovers in the past And why they didn't last We share a cast of characters from A to Z We know each others fantasies And though we know each other better when we explore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours and The Carter family You used to make me moan in bed, but that can't be enough My friends complained your jokes were crude, Your manners were too rough Don't know just what I wanted, but I know I wanted more Someone smooth, presentable, to blend with my decor And now at night I think of how you grinned when you undressed And I find I miss you more than I'd ever have guessed. and That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark The living room is still I walk by, no remark I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines I hear her call sweet dreams But I forgot how to dream But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry My friends from college they're all married now They have their houses and their lawns They have their silent noons Tearful nights, angry dawns Their children hate them for the things they're not They hate themselves for what they are And yet they drink, they laugh Close the wound, hide the scar
  19. Indeed a sad song. Keeping it George, here's Last Christmas Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye Tell me baby, do you recognize me? Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying "I love you", I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special It reminds me of a false lover I had the misfortune to get involved with during a Christmas holiday many years ago. Really messed me up for long after.
  20. The advertising blurb I read doesn't make me want to rush out to see it, though as I haven't seen anything on offer worthwhile for months I may go just to remember what seeing a proper movie is like. It's been a desert of movies to see recently. Loads of woke remakes if that takes your interest, but I dislike paying to be annoyed.
  21. Ah, being pedantic I see. I made the mistake of not saying "Of course an AI will be able to reproduce Brando or Pacino. It's all just pixels and AI will be able to do anything. What we see on an electronic screen is indeed pixels, and given how much CGI is used in movies now they are a lot of pixels. Given that we bring our own experience to a movie, emotion is indeed evoked by pixels in formation. Have you even watched an emotional Anime?
  22. I imagine they would have dual citizenship.
  23. You didn't have to reply to him. As for Trump, if the Trump haters didn't keep bringing him up we could all move on, IMO he's yesterdays news.
  24. IMO more to do with inventing money out of nothing to give away and the disruption caused by lockdowns than a war on the other side of the world.
  25. To warn people thinking of going there!
