  1. Darwin Awards? One of the international honours awarded to people who supposedly help to improve the human gene pool by "removing themselves from it in a spectacularly stupid manner." Murphy's Law states: If anything can go wrong, it will. Sod's law, a British culture axiom, states that "if something can go wrong, it will".
  2. If you ever stroked a wet beaver you would know.
  3. We use AXA for our visits to the UK https://direct.axa.co.th/TA/CoverageOptionPlan Mr Prakan also has many choices https://misterprakan.com/en/travel/travel-insurance-thailand
  4. Looks like "sandwash" between the tiles. AFAIK - It's a mixture of mortar and small pebbles which is finished with acid etching to expose the pebble surface. Very common here. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=sandwash Future issue could be with matching repairs, as the colour of the mortar and pebbles are almost impossible to reproduce.
  5. The Great Escape - "Papers please".
  6. It's incredibly sad to hear these regular stories of youngsters drowning here - sometimes multiple deaths when they try to help their mates. When I visit my wife's village I see a lot of fish ponds with very steep muddy banks. I imagine it would be difficult for a child to climb out. Growing up in the UK we spent a lot of summers playing in canals, rivers, and reservoirs unsupervised, but I can't recall any drownings (although I do recall a few drownings of kids caught in tide currents at the beach, even with their parents nearby). I guess the difference is that most of us could swim. Is there such a thing as public baths here?
  7. Life of Brian - 1) What have the Romans ever done for us and 2) Biggus Dickus
