  1. Actual account of the two missing trucks begins at 44.30 for those interested. The inference is that this is probably not an isolated occurrence .
  2. What I actually think is that for all their wealth , Boss and his family are none too bright. Had he not made himself a fugitive from the law and faced the music he would likely have received a suspended sentence and had to pay a large amount of compensation to the victims family. Finished. The road he has taken has surely been more expensive and has not kept the monkey off his back.
  3. Of course . Do you think a billionaire should be treated the same as a farmer ? The law is the law and should be applied to everyone regardless of wealth. Sadly not the case here. The foreign press is not doing the hounding here. It is the Thai press.
  4. The Daily News tried to call the school director but repeatedly wang the wong number and were unsuccessful.
  5. So....they rehired him for a day to sack him ? Pathetic . Like giving out a death sentence to a dead body. They are all as bad as each other. Birds of a feather flock together. The frightening thing to consider is that everyone involved has had the best possible education , probably studied abroad , and has a university degree. Yet instead of being the top cream of society they are just a bunch of money grubbing scumbags. And they have the effrontary to look down their noses at an honest farmer from the Northeast. If these low life bottom feeder types can tear up countless constitutions then resetting the charges to zero should be easy peasy. Certainly would be if it was a member of the Shinawatra clan.
  6. What many people do is break the journey somewhere. Khon Kaen for example , which has a bit of nightlife. Make a mini holiday of it and check out other cities in Thailand. Unless you have work to rush back to no point in exhausting yourself. There is a good night market in Suv where you can drink cheap wine , have a meal and people watch . It's only for a night .
  7. This whole thing could have worked out so differently. Pharmacies around the world singing: ' Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.
  8. Stop right there. You nailed it. No need to go further.
  9. Her boyfriend ' Perky ' was waiting outside the prison gates to drive her away from a throng of reporters.
  10. No. Just a punch in the teeth should clarify things for the curious.
  11. To be fair , I never heard an ex pat say the weather was nice here. Maybe tourists think it is but if you live here you see it for what it is. Never used to be this bad. In the old days the cool season was actually cold even in Bangkok. Jacket needed at night time. In the villages hoar frost and icy puddles in the morning. Nearest you can get to that these days is a frosty whore in Pattaya.
  12. Yup, cant beat a tight hole. The sleeves have ridges which should grip well enough and unless you are disassembling the cabinet glue might be overkill. Just that I have some wood glue and although might not be necessary a dab or two certainly shouldn't hurt.
  13. Thanks. She is Thai with a Thai husband so not sure why she is asking but will pass on all the information. Thanks again for all answers.
  14. The bolts would , as you say , probably be better , but are the pre drilled holes big enough for the sleeves ? If not you need to drill out the holes and make them bigger before gluing in the sleeves.
  15. Thanks for all the answers. Seems it's pretty much as I told her. State pension only for wife ( one off payment and need to reside in UK ) Private pension will need to be named as beneficiary on the policy and will be liable for UK taxes. Thanks. She is not married to a foreigner. Best dentist I ever had and pretty much retired now as only does work for her regular clients. She asked because she was curious about something but did not say what, probably asking for a friend.
  16. Apart from what you eat , has the time you eat changed and if you skip a meal does it effect you ?
  17. Maybe someone better informed than me can answer this question. Sitting on the sofa this evening a got a bing message on Line. It was from someone called Nok ? Don't know any Noks ? Thought it was a scammer. But it turned out to be my dentist of many years ( I'm her only British patient ) and once I knew that , I was ready to help answer her question which is. ( her words ) Is it true that the beneficiary of a pension does not necessarily have to be a relative or someone in the family ? A bit vague. I asked if it was a government pension ( old age ) or from a private company ? I thought if government probably need to be a relative but if from a private company it could be a nominee outside the company. She sent me this : ( private company ) Looks like a legit company so how should I answer her question ? Yes it is not necessary to be a relative if the pension is from this company ? Thanks in advance to any experts on pensions about which I know little.
  18. Great interview with returned British soldier . Well worth watching to the end.
  19. Or thieves stole the plug for the rubber.
  20. At least his friend improvised one with a table cloth.
  21. Wife sampled it all. But the best English food she had was my mums Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Here she is in Witherspoons in Shewsbury on the way back from North Wales :
  22. Spot on. Both my wives loved the charity shops. Couldn't keep first wife out of them !! The problem started when she got a virtually brand new , perfectly fitting pair of Armani jeans. After that I had no peace, We had to visit each and every charity shop within a hundred mile radius until she had a whole new wardrobe stuffed with designer label clothes and news. Back in Thailand she wore them all the time bragging to her friends how they had cost her a fortune but money was no problem for quality clothes.
  23. One other tip. Tell your wife not to take any of her gold with her. Not wise to wear in the city. My former wife had a 2 baht chain snatched off her neck as she was getting on a bus. The thief was young and easily outpaced her. Cried buckets as well you might. I had frequently told her not too have expensive gold on show as people these days know the value of Thai gold. Had to learn the hard way.
