If space is a vacuum why is Mars so dusty?

Why don't aliens visit our solar system? They read the reviews: Only one star.

I went to one of those space parties. It was very disappointing - no atmosphere.

Yes. Can't be a Leaf. Maybe a Micra.

I thought you wanted to drift.

Have you tried over-inflating your tyres?

In the book Animal Farm the last sentence is, "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which”

Just as I walked into Makro, Sattahip, at about 1.00pm today they were stacking the milk shelves. Hardly a space was left. Every brand, size and colour of cap was available. But just yesterday I couldn't find a bottle of full fat milk anywhere, nor even semi-skimmed. Could have been worse, every few weeks there is a shortage of schweppes tonic water, and it can last for days.

Another thought. If you (or the house owner) have completed a TM30 it will have your name and address on the receipt, possibly in English.

If you get a Certificate of Residence from your local Immigration Office (same document that you need for driving licence application), you could have it translated and certified - there's often a translation service near to Immi. You need the following docs to get the certificate: Your passport plus a copy of the photo page Copy of your Visa Copy of your TM 6 Departure Card 2 x passport-sized photos Copy of your lease agreement/house registration book (yellow Tabien baan) Copy of receipt of address notification

Hereditary baldness is passed on X chromosome, so it's more dominant on the mother's side of the family. Look at your maternal grandfather for the best indication. My dad was lean and tough as nails. He was also a great story-teller and very popular with the ladies, though I'm pretty sure it was never more than flirtation. I miss him. Unfortunately, the only attribute I inherited from him is my thick head of hair.
