  1. Guess those tourists were unlucky enough to get on the Wong bus.
  2. I feel I must protest. I had Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel . This is the cover : Where is the bridge ???? A quick google of all their album covers : https://www.google.com/search?q=simon+and+garfunkel+album+covers&sca_esv=ce82090d53e0c143&rlz=1C1BNSD_enTH1053TH1053&udm=2&biw=1600&bih=665&sxsrf=ADLYWIL9qBHv0-Mcf5SXK-WoAyMKVRqOAg%3A1722405738237&ei=atOpZrCgDtqq4-EPyqKC6AU&ved=0ahUKEwiw_b6xzdCHAxVa1TgGHUqRAF0Q4dUDCBA&oq=simon+and+garfunkel+album+covers&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiIHNpbW9uIGFuZCBnYXJmdW5rZWwgYWxidW0gY292ZXJzMgoQABiABBhDGIoFMgUQABiABDIGEAAYBRgeSJ2GAVDvBljTdXACeACQAQKYAW2gAbUgqgEENDguM7gBDMgBAPgBAZgCI6ACkBioAgrCAgYQABgHGB7CAgQQIxgnwgIHECMYJxjqAsICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAgQQABgDwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwHCAgYQABgIGB7CAgQQABgewgIHEAAYgAQYGJgDBIgGAZIHBDMwLjWgB-bRAg&sclient=gws-wiz-serp No bridges. I want a refund in full . This image was not an album cover . It was a free poster included with the album.
  3. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 80 seconds  
  4. Next time cheat properly. Get your wife to sign up to ASEANNOW , then have her do the quiz and make a note of the answers.
  5. 10 questions better than 5 as weeds out the good guessers .
  6. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 151 seconds  
  7. Sign them up for gramerly. Get those youtube monkeys off my back.
  8. How dreadful to have your child murdered attending such an innoculus event. Parents all over the country will now be a lot more concerned about the safety of their kids just trying to enjoy their childhood away from their immediate supervision. My sincere sympathies to all the victims.
  9. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 86 seconds  
  10. Make sure your drainage is good as in the rainy season water can fall in torrents and leave low areas under water , especially if like us , your soil has high clay content. Easy things to grow are papayas , chillis and long beans which have always done well in our garden. Small tomatoes and limes are worth trying then you have all the ingredients for som dtam. We had so many beans I made a very nice bean soup which stored well in the freezer. Herbs like Thai basil and pak chee are dead easy to grow as is pak boong if you have a damp area. We put shading up instead of a greenhouse which was OK until a strong storm blew it down along with lots of trees in the area. Even telegraph poles came down blocking lots of people and their cars inside Big C for 3 hours. If you don't do a greenhouse simple clouches work OK. As for trees be careful. Our mango , jackfruit , coconut and teak tree got too big and created a mountain of dead leaves every day and put so much shade on the lawn that it partly killed it. Just had the teak tree cut down and it took me 2 weeks to burn off just the leaves. Getting back to the vegetable garden we eventually couldn't be bothered as although we grew a lot of things we never ate a fraction of it and had to give 90 percent of it away. Also the things that are easiest to grow are the cheapest to buy at the market so you don't really save much. Nice hobby though If anyone has any good bacon or sausage seeds that grow well here, PM me please.
  11. In other news the family have sacked the lawyer who said the police action was an attempted assasination . . He apparently had his own agenda. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13683183/Controversial-TikTok-lawyer-steps-representing-family-man-kicked-head-fire-police-officer-Manchester-airport-dramatic-footage-revealed-happened-BEFORE.html Controversial TikTok lawyer steps down from representing family of man 'kicked in the head' by under-fire police officer at Manchester airport after dramatic footage revealed what happened BEFORE. Egg on face much.
  12. However, after a truck ran over it it was again measured at 5 meters in length and weighed 10 kilograms.
  13. And the one who did this ? Also attempted murder ?
  14. My sympathy it with the police officers trying to do their duty. Damned when they do nothing and damned when they try to carry out their duties. The issue of race and religion should be irrelevant here but is used to muddy the water and detract from the facts that the police were violently assaulted and reacted in kind. They are human beings not machines and given the gravity of the attack on the female officer it is not surprising what followed. The lawyer playing the racist card when it is not relevent only incites an increase in racist sentiments. in my opinion the muslim community violently over reacted before knowing all the facts. As for his ridiculous statement that it was an assasination attempt ............ beyond contempt and risible Doubtless there will be more videos to follow plus accounts of what exactly happened to warrent the police being called in the first place
  15. Bum guns ? Food and drink in plastic bags tied with rubber bands that can be tricky to unpick if you don't want the contents on your lap. Women with big feet and adams apples ?
  16. Without the tator.
  17. I'm already desparing for the present without which the future looks like burnt toast already
  18. Find out their nationality then get tell the owners who rent them out that if they rent out to this nationality again the bikes will be confiscated and put in a crusher. Sorted.
  19. You can get a view of flying ping pong balls. That's bound to impress them.
  20. Same as mine , i guess because never mad busy. I do agree that it is ridiculous the amount of paperwork and signing involved but thankfully it is only one morning in every 365 days so I can live with it. At my immigration officers recommendation ( lovely helpful lady ) I got a stamp made up in my name to save time. So now when I get handed a stack of paper to sign and print I can just rattle through the printing part in a minute then start again with a fast signature. It does save a fair bit of time. As for all the silly repeat information needed......just have to live with it. If you get all your ducks in a row it goes smoothly enough. I actually think that applying for a mere visit visa for my wife from VS Global was a lot more work with some pretty questionable sharp practices. As for the questions ....Have you ever been a member of a terrorist organisation or do you plant to blow up parliament during your holiday ? Mad mad mad
  21. I have several Thai friends and no issues. Buy their kids small birthday gifts from time to time with no problems at all , usually something edible. More importantly is to chose your friends very carefully. That goes for everyone regardless of nationality etc.
  22. Agreed. We also do our own thing. She is in a folk dance troupe that performs at temples , weddings and government functions. I can't be bothered to go out much because everything I need is at home. We almost never dine out in the evenings unless friends are visiting or we are on a road trip. Disabled MIL lives next door so my wife and her sister do shifts taking care of her.
  23. At least getting raped is no longer a worry for her
  24. Plenty of gun shops around Phahurat in Bangkok. One after another.
  25. Seems to be getting bad everywhere. Some nutter in the UK recently killed his ex and 2 other women with a crossbow. This sort of thing was rare when I was younger. All too common now. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/british-police-arrest-man-suspicion-crossbow-murders-3-111874879
