Quantum mop mechanics.

I use a dual language and sometimes find the Thai useful for searching. However , an easy work around is to use Google translate then copy and paste.

Have you seen the bulk of the opposition, and I mean the figuratively and literally.

Living the dream.

As did I , a very interesting period of history but I am always eager to learn. Just yesterday I was surprised to learn that Britain and Canada shipped half of the Valentine tanks they produced to Russia . Altogether 3762 of these tanks. were sent to Russia Many of these saw action outside Moscow in 1941 stopping the Germans . The Russians also sent sample tanks to Britain and America and Britain considered cloning the T34 to re equip the British army but surprisingly the scrapped the idea. Mark Felton is not any old Youtube Vlogger . He is a respected auther and historian and has taught at several universities including 9 years in China at Shanghai and Fudan universities. Well worth watching . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felton

Exactly. Has anyone on this thread said otherwise ? By the way, if you are interested in every minute detail of WW2 may I suggest watching Mark Feltons Youtube videos https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Mark+Felton

Pathetic. Everybody knows that the Russians and western nations were allies , even you.

Talk about stating the obvious. But hey ho.......what goes around comes arouind. Russia didn’t invite officials from unfriendly countries to victory parade, diplomat says https://tass.com/politics/1785923 Did you miss that if there had been no second front at Normandy the Germans would have had many divisions and aircraft to throw at the Russian and push them back East. Duh

You forgot to add : Not many people know that.

Latvia has found a novel way to help Ukraine and solve one of its own problems. Latvia sends cars seized from drunk drivers to Ukraine Imants Liepins Wed, June 5, 2024 at 9:43 PM GMT+7·2 min read 30 A Latvian volunteer helps convert a seized SUV into an armoured medevac transport for Ukraine's medical corps (Gints Ivuskans) Latvian drunk drivers are making an important -- if not entirely voluntary -- contribution to helping Ukraine fend off the Russian invasion. In a parking lot outside the capital Riga, some 100 cars confiscated from drunk drivers are being repaired and adapted before being sent to the front line in Ukraine. In a nifty move to combat both endemic drunk driving at home and support Kyiv, Latvian authorities are handing seized vehicles over to the Ukrainian military. Some are even being armoured and turned into medevacs to evacuate wounded soldiers. https://www.yahoo.com/news/latvia-sends-cars-seized-drunk-144342077.html

Somewhere on a Military base in Bangkok : Ring ring ....Ring ring Hello , Generalal Pruthuts residence , Mrs Prayuth speaking Sawadi krap, this is the senators office , Can we speak to Tu please. Wait I'll call him ..................... oh he's in the bath . Can you call him back in 30 minutes ? Its rather important. He says what do you want Well, it's about the vacancy at Parliament. We are looking for a new PM . Would he still be interested ? ( patter of wet feet on floor ) Oh darling , you could at least have wrapped yourself in a towel. I'll be there in 45 minutes. Don't ask Prawit until I get there. Hangs up.

Where is here exactly ? Could be anywhere between ankles and neck .

Why would Russians get an invite to a D Day anniversary event which they took no part in ?

Free time ? What's that ? Busy every day until 6.30 pm. Then it's feet up until 10pm bedtime.

Not for some newbies I suppose.

Yup me too. Mum getting too old and will need me soon either way. Been here too long. Like to do a few other things if I am not too decrepit when the time comes.

This issue seems to be worse in the Philippines. Don't know why . Genes ? . Buyer beware.

How many rooms and which of them do you want painted. ?

A lot of things are illegal here but without much if any enforcement they are just more words on paper.

Oh no. Not the mop handle . Please please not the mop handle. Especially if you are going to attach it to a drill.

Last September I flew back to Thailand with EVA air in cattle class. It was truly saddening to see the caliber of my fellow countrymen heading to ' Pats ' to go on a non stop bender if their behavior en route was anything to go by. So much so that I might give up on EVA and look for another airline. Where to the high end British tourists go ? They must go somewhere ? Why do some of us go rapidly downhill on vacation ?

Yup. As I write , 30% of the local Big C car park has been cordoned off to make a mini Jurasic park. Half a dozen large model dinosaurs with sound effects , a dinosaur bouncy castle and a few T shirt stands. Total flop. Ignored by one and all.

Agreed. Best burgers I ever ate were at a steak house near Kasetsart university. Double the width but half the height of any of those shown above, full of relish and cheese. Large portion of fries and a massive salad all for 100 baht. Always packed out with students, 2 to 1 burger. At the height of its popularity and success the owner sold it. Within a week everything was half sized except the price. Within a month the place was usually deserted. How to wreck a business in short order.

I think I could hold out against Bob or Lou , even Gamma for a while , maybe , but if Georgegeorgia entered the room I would spill the beans immediately or beg to be put out of any agony coming my way. I mean , who knows where his mop handle has been.

Indeed. I stopped this year from January 1st for 35 days. It was OK but I was slightly disappointed that I did not feel hugely different. Only a marginal feeling of better health. Probably due to the fact that a lot of my ailments are down to old age ( 66 ) rather than booze. However , I did notice the extra money sloshing around in my wallet which gradually built up. In the UK for 6 weeks last year I drank very little. Just one bottle of weak beer every evening ( Manns brown or Hobgoblin Ruby ) but I was walking a minimum of 5 miles every day in the fresh air and a few times over 15. After that I really did feel healthier and my blood pressure and sciatica were much improved.
