For several years there was a chap who used to hurtle around Chiang Rai City wearing a plastic child's "fireman Sam" helmet, held in place by a bungee cord.

Very smart! But you can bet your bottom dollar that if, as a farang, you drove around in it, the Police would suddenly find umpteen infringements of all sorts of regulations, and fine you multiples of B500!

I'm sure you have seen that, but we all know that for the vast majority of offences, and the vast majority of the time, the Police are only interested in the amount of cash that they can extract on the spot.

Winning eh?

Buying biscuits that are invariably broken!

Calling another poster a stalker! That is really very, very funny! The bulk of your activity on this forum consists of stalking!

The whole "TACO man" thing has apparently spooked the mother of all meltdowns!

I am not deranged. As for you, well your posts rather speak for themselves; certainly difficult to avoid the conclusion that you are bizarrely obsessed.

You really have an obsessed, perhaps frothy mouthed approach towards absolutely anyone and everyone who holds, or worse even, dares to express, any views which diverge from yours. Your first reaction, almost invariably, is to accuse them of "spewing deranged lies". Really quite sad; whatever happened to "vigorous and varied political discourse. Discuss and debate" let alone the various forum rules against abusive personal attacks which pour forth monotonously!

Since school children are unlikely to have B2000 on them, this will be a non starter!

Perhaps the Chinese declined to kiss the spray tanned arse?

Hmm, it's a committment regarding a debt; given Mr Trump's record on those over the decades we can I imagine safely conclude that it will not be honoured.

Oh I don't know - putting him in deep cover as Captain Flack, commander of the Trumpton Fire Brigade was a stroke of genius! PS: non Brits may need to Google "Trumpton firemen images" to understand...

Mind you, she brings great conviction to the role!

Why on earth did they not send someone round to his house to bang on the door? In any half baked organisation there will be a duty officer whose job involves calling in key personnel. This fellow earns £3 million +, phone being on silent is a totally unacceptable excuse!

There is dull, and then there is Bob!

In towns like Porth, the police presence consists of the occasional patrol car driving through the town. Policing, including any form of investigation, is confined to big towns. The police have effectively withdrawn from the rural areas.

Oh dear!

An image which I really wish you had not conjured up!

Frankly, the vast majority of stuff flogged on Lazada is absolute rubbish. Office chairs, a desk, electric fans, thumb drives are just a few of the examples of stuff I have foolishly bought from them in the last few months, which have either fallen apart or just don't work. In particular thumb drives which will only hold a fraction of their advertised capacity! The trouble is, I am a cripple, fairly immobile, live a fair way out of town and can no longer drive a car (bizarrely they took my car license away for medical reasons but let me keep my motorcycle license!); that together with being a bit of a "Pollyanna" when it comes to online shopping, which doesn't help!

He doesn't run anything past Congress any more does he? Rule by Sharpie! Incidentally, after the 120 days are up, presumably he can appoint another nominee; when that person's 120 days are up, or even sooner, can Jeanine Pirro be appointed again? Perhaps no one imagined that rules to cover such a possibility would ever be needed?

Definitely suffering in sympathy!

In much the same way that debris usually float to the surface?

I haven't followed the Tate brothers imbroglio at all. Am I correct in thinking that they are a couple of modern day pimps, who instead of cruising red light districts in cars taking money off girls, have harnessed the internet and social media to do the same thing?

Possibly an occasion for the "spelling police" to rally to the cause? 😆
