  1. In most countries it isn't a normal occurrence and is usually committed by immigrants from countries where it is.
  2. The bottom "lady" seems to have a fine pair of shoulders and horrible legs. Hard luck on the Kuwaiti, hope the coppers catch them.
  3. I was a lifelong Liverpool supporter, but since they've been taking the knee to the marxist BLM, I wouldn't pay 25 satang to watch them. Same goes for Utd. I don't care if anyone disagrees with me, I stand by my principles. I am by the way a supporter of "Kick it Out", football's anti-racism movement.
  4. On the other hand, he'll wake one morning and find himself a crypto millionaire as long as he doesn't panic and sell everything in times of high volatility.
  5. The one that jars me most is the no alcohol sales pre 1100 hrs. I like to do my shopping early morning so that I can get on with other jobs after I get back home. The present setup means that I have to make another trip out later on to get my booze. I do have a warehouse near me, but it doesn't open until 1030 so it isn't much use.
  6. Similar to what happened to me. It was like an episode from the old "Goon Show" when someone asked Eccles how he knew what time it was. I've got it written down on this piece of paper" was his reply. I was stopped on the exit road of the Bangkok-Pattaya motorway doing a moderate speed well within the limit. When I asked the "officer" what the problem was, he stuck a crumpled piece of paper in my face with "120k" on it and said "speeding". When I asked how he knew, he tapped the piece of paper with his forefinger. Because I didn't want the hassle of handing over my license and reporting to a police station, I gave him 100 baht for his cheek and got on my way. RIP to the dead and speedy recovery to the injured.
  7. I bet the author of this tirade votes Democrat or Lab/Lib/Green or Scots Nat in the UK. Most Russians I've ever encountered here have been big miserable troll-like oafs.
  8. If ordinary Russians were nice friendly people, I think we might have some sympathy for them being stranded. As it is, I liken them to trolls. They have a permanent scowl on their faces, never smile and never return a "Good Morning". Don't forget, they voted old rat-face into power and he's very popular amongst normal Russians according to reports. I for one couldn't care if all of them were barred from leaving their dreadful country.
  9. For some reason couldn't get to the final print off next reporting date stage on my Windows 10 laptop, but all ok on my Android cellphone. Copied receipt to laptop and printed it.
  10. Depends on whether he has direction indicators on the buggy and if he was using them to signal right. If not, did he indicate by sticking his arm out like you had to in the old days? I always check my right hand mirror before turning right because many times I've been overtaken even though I've been signalling to turn. There's a distinct lack of common sense on the roads here, especially from motorbike riders. It's why motorbike fatalities are so high.
  11. Neither of the AZ jabs bothered me, nor did the Pfizer booster.
  12. Or any politician was truthful. There, corrected it for you, now it doesn't look so biased.
  13. "Samran said it looked serious and could damage the image of the Thai police." ????
  14. Of course we complain. Why should those of us who have sufficient savings to self insure pay through the nose when we never go near a hospital. Even if we did, there's the high possibility of the payout being refused on some technicality. At 77, insurance would cost me in excess of 100,000 a year, that's if I could find someone willing to insure me. In 2000 I had cancer, from which, after radiotherapy, I've been free ever since. I reckon that would put anyone off insuring me even if I was willing to pay the ridiculous premium. I take care of my health by exercising and staying slim(ish) and fit, unlike a lot of people who are insured to the gills, but are couch potatoes.
  15. Did mine a couple of days ago on my laptop. It was plain sailing until the last button, it wouldn't send my next appointment date. Tried again on my android phone and all ok, got the printed slip. Saved it to "Line" and printed it out from "keep" using my laptop printer.
  16. I think you also have to provide proof that you've been turned down by an insurance company here on grounds of age, previous serious illness etc, which could be one of the several flies in the ointment.
  17. Have my favourites, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn etc, but love most classical music. I play the guitar (moderately), but too much discipline involved in classical, nearest I get is playing Classical Gas. Tend to enjoy playing country blues and ragtime. Learning Dark Town Strutters Ball and Cincinnati Flow Drag Rag (Rev Garry Davis variation of the famous tune), at the moment.
  18. I ordered a petrol lawmower from them a few weeks ago at what I thought was a low price. I was given a delivery date, but a couple of days later, the order was cancelled. I think they sprinkle the odd "bargain" into their site just to get you hooked, where in fact no such bargain exists. Fortunately my order was COD. I'm now reluctant to order anything else from them.
  19. Have you organised a recent survey to come to that conclusion? I think most do have the required amount in the bank but a lot prefer to use an agent to prevent them having to spend an hour in the black hole with the possibility of being treated like dirt for their trouble. Personally, I don't use an agent, but if I could afford to, I would without hesitation.
  20. I got stopped on a slipway from route 7 once doing about 80kph. The boy in brown didn't have any English apart from "Speeding!" He then proceeded to show me a crumpled piece of paper with "120 kph" written on it. I laughed, gave him 100 baht for his cheek and got on my way.
