I think back to 1998, my first visit, I just fell

insanely in love with it.

Changes here, like anywhere, require farang to

simply adapt and respect.

I'm afraid I can't grumble like some here, I still

love LOS, I still find it exciting and fun, but in

perhaps a different way.

Life is what you make it I suppose.

True story:

 

Long time ago I had a TG, must have been very fresh fom Isan.

She was absolutely convinced that ghosts exist because she met one as a child.

She told me, if the ghost comes close, you just have to pull your pants down a bit and shake your ass. That would scare him and you could leave.

Since then I wish I were a ghost.

Man, If I took my pants down and shook my big

hairy ass, the ghost would <deleted> itself, and certainly

wouldn't hang about.

The way this reads gave me a laugh. Mankind has been searching for the perpetual motion machine for centuries, and here someone on Thai VF actually believes that it exists! OK maybe that's not quite what you meant.

There is no 100% efficient machine anywhere, check out the laws of entropy.

 

There are wave machines that convert motion to electricity, they test them in the Pentland Firth, they are getting more efficient all the time. Using wave power to pump water uphill which then comes down again strikes me as remarkably inefficient.

 

The ultimate answer to most of our power consumption may be nuclear fusion, but we are still left with the problem that if you use energy it is simply transferred somewhere else. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it just gets converted into a different form. Someone with a real science qualification is welcome to correct me here. Your ability to read websites like " thetruthaboutscience.com" does not qualify you.

That's not quite fair, wave pumps have little or nothing

relating to perpetual motion, a wave is just pure

energy, which can be harvested.

No was afraid in the 50s as they were not aware of the fact we were destroying our climate. 
 

Tell me, how would you enforce population control?

The methods are numerous, disease, famine, war etc, read the Georgia Stones,

Earths sustainability is the objective.

This PC stuff is the biggest curse to afflict humanity.

Whats happened forgiveness and compassion.

We all human and make mistakes. Maipenrai.

I don't trust anything with 'smart' written on it,

it will be overpriced and annoyingly fiddley, with

a 10% battery when you need to use it.

If pensioners were given a million pounds and came to live in Thailand within a year they would be married to some impoverished farmers daughter, be a father at 70, probably not their offspring, and walking the streets in Pattaya looking for a bar with balloons outside. ????????.

There are some things money can't change.

With so many unemployed, there is little incentive to maintain

workers rights. Compulsory retirement at 40 is the answer, something

similar was promised in the early 60s, a three day working week,

thus solving the unemployment and workers rights problem.

All pensioners choosing to live abroad in Thailand should be given

1M pounds..Housing crisis solved.

Does anyone actually know the optimum population capacity for the UK?

Would it be wise or not, to keep to that optimum?

Reading the sign, it Looks like someone is trying to 'rip off' the Indians. lol.
