  1. My missus calls it tuna, which it is not. Seems it is "short mackerel" https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=ปลาทู
  2. Don't blame the cows for global warming! A lot of them are Friesian.
  3. I stay indoors with windows and doors barred, and have the aircon set to 22C.
  4. 12.85% of 2000 people is exactly 257 people.
  5. I think that DDT is prohibited in Thailand, but I'm sure that the "fogging" chemical (whatever it is) is not good for one's health. Like you, I make sure that we all stay away from the smoke - pets too.
  6. Were they doing the fogging? I pity those guys as it must knock years off their lives breathing in that smoke every day with just a paper mask to protect them. Probably the equivalent of a 40-a-day cigarette habit (or worse).
  7. Hi Jeffers, You should have saved this story until April 1st.
  8. There are two volcanoes in Thailand but they are both extinct. This means they have not erupted in the past 10,000 years and are not likely to erupt again. The first is Doi Pha Khok Hin Fu. The other is Phanom Rung. https://homework.study.com/explanation/does-thailand-have-any-volcanoes.html So there will be volcanic soil in those areas. That doesn't explain "volcanic" durian in southern Thailand.
  9. Yes. 44 fall guys. No need to look any further.
  10. Remember when Ronaldo was pulled off at half time ...
  11. I see it, very occasionally, in Makro. Found this too ... https://www.bangkokbobs.com/shop/fresh-rhubarb/
  12. Sausage casserole with Yorkshire puddings and colcannon and/or cauliflower cheese. Crumbles. Apple, pear, rhubarb (when available), strawberry, raspberry, blackberry (frozen berries are ok) or combinations of these fruits.
  13. It will be interesting to see how vigorously he is pursued, compared with others who have fled justice. I use the word justice - but in this young man's case it's injustice IMO.
  14. That seems very plausible, but many sources state that "N.O.N.C.E." is an acronym: Not On Normal Communal Exercise - coined by prisoner officers at HMP Wakefield. Officially, prisoners are categorised:- Category A Prisoners whose escape would be highly dangerous. Category B Prisoners for whom the very highest conditions of. Category C Prisoners who cannot be trusted in open conditions, Category D Prisoners who can be reasonably trusted in open. Category U All remand, awaiting trial or awaiting sentence. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7437/CBP-7437.pdf
  15. Maybe he was confused and thought he was in a telephone kiosk.
  16. Does your dad have money in any other bank accounts here? If so, he may be able to show that his total available money did not fall below 800,000 during the first 3 months.
  17. Current UK pension is 221.20 GBP (11,502 pa). If you delay your claim by 5 months, until the annual adjustment is made, you will have lost approximately 4,800 GBP that you could have been receiving. If the pension increase next year is, for example, 10 GBP per week you will gain 520 GBP each year until you pass. So you will break even and start to profit after about 9 years. If the increase is 20 GBP per week, break even will be around 4.5 years. I hope my maths is correct.
