  1. I like the weekend roundup, with occasional posts in between. Enough is as good as a feast, my Dad used to say.
  2. That must be a rhetorical question. Why? Fear of retribution False prosecution False imprisonment Physical assault Etc. Only the most wealthy and powerful can make a stand against police corruption, and they don't show any signs of wanting to change the status quo.
  3. I had to look it up. Based upon my knowledge of American food (mainly from watching the Beverley Hill Billies) I was expecting that grits would be the internal organs of some animal (like chitlings). But grits is just a porridge made from corn.
  4. A streak of bad luck for the Win Process company. On the bright side, maybe it has saved them a lot of money in safe disposal fees.
  5. Wife is leaving her husband. New boyfriend is driving her away in his pick up. Husband chases after her in his old pick up and manages to stop them. Husband takes his gun to insist his wife takes all her remaining belongings with her (the two containers). He doesn't want her to have any excuse to come back.
  6. Saint Patricks Day celebrations ... Saint David's Day celebrations ... Saint Andrew's Day celebrations ... Saint George's Day celebrations ... Saint George's Day Rally ... 83997309-13341495-image-a-3_1713892077295.avif
  7. Sorry, the rule is give way to the vehicle on the left (except at a roundabout, when it is give way to the right). Land Traffic Act 1979, Section 71. Section 71 (500B) [If, when entering a junction, there are other vehicles, the driver must let such vehicles go through first. If two vehicles enter a junction from different directions at the same time, the vehicle on the left side has a right of way, except when there's a designation of "principle roadway" in which case the vehicle on the principle roadway has a right of way.]
  8. Upon reflection, I think you are correct.
  9. This is the junction from the white suv point of view. Traffic lights haven't worked for years, maybe never did.
  10. You are replying to a 4 year old topic. However, @CharlieH it would be interesting to receive an update about your venture into chicken raising.
  11. Then the leak must be on your property. If your pump is cycling, the leak must be after the pump (maybe under the floor of the house. If the pump is not cycling, the leak must be somewhere between the tank and the pump (under the tiled patio?).
  12. When your tank is full, close the valve next to your water meter (so water can not flow back). If the water in your tank drains away, you have a leak somewhere on your property. It could even be underneath the house. If the water in your tank does not drain away, the problem is a backflow into the mains supply. This can be caused by someone upstream of your property using a pump to draw water from the mains supply. The solution would be to install a non-return valve between your water meter and your tank, as suggested by @worgeordie above.
  13. The way things are going this season, Max would have plenty of time to pick up a snack on his way to the checkered flag.
  14. I just realised that today is Hitler's birthday ...
  15. I'll just keep taking the soma.
  16. The guy got bitten by a snake in an unfortunate bodily part. His mate saved his life by sucking out the venom. He should be lauded as a hero. Not many of us have such steadfast friends.
  17. We have been in Chaniang, Mueang Surin since 7 April. Hardly a breath of wind here in that time. However, I have noticed that the weather can be very localised in these very flat areas.
  18. I've seen some of your super sharp photos here. If she really gets into the hobby I think she will need a camera. The iphone camera is good, but when on maximum zoom it's hard to get a sharp photo. Great for keeping a log though.
  19. She has been using her iphone to take pictures. If they are sharp enough, the phone automatically identifies the bird. It also logs the time, date and location (all this is new to me, as I only have a basic phone and hardly any apps). PS- thanks for the pm too.
  20. Great information in your posts, thanks a lot. I've ordered the FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF THAILAND from Asia Books (1,550 inc postage). We will have a look at all the websites you suggest.
  21. My daughter (12) has started to become interested in birds, taking photos and searching google, etc. for identification. I know she would love to browse this thread but, obviously, I can't let her have access to Asean Now, with all its adult content. Can anyone recommend a Thailand birds website/chat group that might be suitable for someone of her age.
  22. Gorgeous bird. Google says 'Blue winged pitta'.
