  1. I lived and worked in Delhi for four years and once outside the compound where I lived, it was constant stress. I ended up only going out if absolutely necessary. Also the "curry run" between there and the UK was a nightmare especially when you had to use the toilet. When my tour was up it was a blessed relief. I vowed never to visit there again. Unfortunately it has come to me, both in the UK and Thailand.
  2. Depends on the office. Jomtien only require you to report in after you've been out of the country. However, your first 90 day report after being out of province will have to be done in person, they won't process it online. This was my experience a few months back when I had a short break in Ayutthaya. However, as I say, it depends on the office. Best phone them.
  3. This isn't the west madam, you won't be indulged here like you would over there.
  4. Same here. It was brought into the house by a little girl who visited a few times after attending school for the day. The wife and I rarely go anywhere. I live 30 minutes outside of Pattaya. My Covid was easily as bad as the worst bout of flu I've ever had and the symptoms were more or less identical.
  5. Ask the Iranian "Banana Man". I've lost count of the times he's been arrested for displaying a sign saying "Hamas are Terrorists". Maybe the BBC complained.
  6. You seen a citizen journalist videoing in Manchester these days? They all go to Liverpool for a break.
  7. You forgot "commies". I'm a Scouser by the way.
  8. They can make up as many fancy names and initials for this lad's condition, but in my book, any 12 year old who stabs another to death is just bad. All I wanted to do at 12 was to play football.
  9. "Do you know who I am?" "Yes. You're that crazy Swiss guy who kicked a lady in the back for sitting down. Watch your fingers!" KLANG. If only! As expected, the coward has done a runner.
  10. Further right the better as far as I'm concerned, but I've seen nothing to convince me that this country is far right. I'm convinced the UK id far left, but I think Thailand is slightly right-leaning at most.
  11. Translation: "America is on a clear way to not being able to rely on votes from illegal immigrants".
  12. She'll be promoting Thailand's soft power to the UK's soft in the head PM.
  13. James "Do you know who I am?" Corden, so-called actor and all-round nasty basket. Still, as London Mayor, he has to be an improvement on the present incumbent. At least Corden's English.
  14. Picked up my first bout of Covid over a week ago and it has laid me low. I'm at the rasping cough coupled with nausea stage now and am unable to do much except sit around feeling sorry for myself. This is not a disease you can ignore like a common cold, it's actually serious. My infection is easily on a par with my worst ever dose of flu which I had about thirty years ago and remember well. At 80 yoa, I'm quite concerned about the cough which shakes me to my foundations and goes on for quite a while. I'm normally a very fit guy. I too used to mock people for making a big thing about Covid, I certainly won't do so again.
  15. Despite dodging the previous outbreaks, the dreaded Covid has finally found out where I live! I've been hit by it for about three days now and it's a right beggar. I'm at the throat on fire and heavy coughing stage now, having been through high temperature, headaches and sore joints. It's easily as bad as any of the worst bouts of flu I had in the UK. I can't grumble though, I've dodged it for years and it's the first real illness I've had in a long time. Sampling the disease, I'd hesitate to call it nonsense.
