  1. To be fair,, she was trying to wind him up.
  2. Try politicians. Not a lot of difference.
  3. Sorry. It's the Tha Chin river, My bad. Been a long time since I went. Its been done. Used to be sampans along the canal at Prathoo Nam a long long time ago where ladies plied their trade in the oldest profession. No roads back then when Bangkok got its moniker ' Venice of the East ' I have a Thai friend who as a child was a novice monk at Wat Po. The abbot once took them to visit a monastry at Lam Look Ka ( now on the outskirts of Bangkok. ) The journey was done only on canals and it took them all day to get there with many changes of boat. Now a one hours journey by car ( traffic notwithstanding ).
  4. Who would have thought eh ?
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 152 seconds  
  6. Even as a smoker I think that statement is stretching things a bit. The best thing would be seeing the People Party gain power , regardless of their drug policy.
  7. They were already toast when they got into bed with the army. That gave them the pox. Look what happened to the democrat party when they did the same. This news just means no penicilin for theit illness. The soon to be defunct People Party now hold the peoples hopes and aspirations.
  8. You actually want that to happen don't you. Some peace lover you are.
  9. Good luck with that. It will be like taking the gun from an armed mugger with his finger on the trigger pointing it at your head.
  10. If People Party last that long you mean.
  11. No. Not tried that one. One of my favorites is at Lam Phya off the road to Suphan Buri. It is in temple grounds on the Ping River. The highlight is buying a ticket for an old rice barge trip 1 hour up or down the river to other temple then back again. Before embarking you load up with delicious cheap food from the market, grab a few drinks then eat it at your leisure as you go along the river. Again , few foreign tourists although I have not been for 12 years so probably spoilt by now.
  12. MIL bitten by poisonous snake twice next door to us. ( green snake with brown tail , ngoo keeo hang pow ) Two nights in hospital on both occasions with badly swollen hand and arm.
  13. There are touristy floating markets and real ones. A real one is worth a visit but will be a long way out from Bangkok and you need your own transport unless you hire a taxi. They are almost extinct now as Thais have gotten used to shopping malls but there are a few out there.
  14. I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 150 seconds  
  15. Yes, my current ones are pretty good too. Had 5 of them visit last weekend for mothers day. Son in law , 2 daughters , his MIL and an young employee of his. 5 in all. three of them slept in the living room for two nights and left it spotless. Brought their own food and towels and we just provided futons and pillows etc. Have to say , my son in law is a really nice guy. If he were mine I would be proud of him. Takes good care of his family and regularly sends my fife a couple of thousand baht. This trip he gave wife 3000 , her sister 1000 and wifes 90 year old mum 1000. He and his wife work hard and have a house and a brand new pick up from their own sweat. Lovely family. My first wifes bunch though.....nightmare. Complete disaster, I shudder at the memories. As bad as it gets.
  16. Community charge can be a killer.
  17. Not wife material by a long way.
  18. Lime green pick up burning oil shouldn't be too difficult to find. Probably be abandoned somewhere down the road.
  19. Is it two weeks yet ?
  20. Claymores , razor wire, dogs ...lots of scowling, skidmarks aplenty in the toilet, empty fridge etc etc. You have to think outside the box and know your enemy. Eg....loud Thai music drowned out by me on electric guitar trying to play purple haze and failing badly. Alternatively get called away on urgent business.
  21. Helo hello hello . Do I detect a new hub in the offing .
  22. Call that a bath tub ? We had an outdoor one put in for the MIL for her arthritis . She loves it .
  23. Spoilt brat . Send him straight to bed without his supper and no smartphone.
  24. Putin ordered up an unnecessary and unjustified war and now civilians on both sides are having to foot the bill of death and destruction. That's what happens when you let a narcissistic meglomaniac run the country and don't challenge his authority. He gets away with murder. What has Putin achieved so far ? More countries joining NATO .
  25. Dads Army is one of the few old comedies that can still make me laugh. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13735081/Dads-Armys-Private-Pike-Ian-Lavender-various-charities-will.html RIP Ian. Thanks for Pvt Pike
