  1. Totally different experience. Our house was built 8 years ago and we started off with round fluorescence lights. OK but not very bright. Our electrician advised we change to the round LED lights as use less power and a bit brighter. Only 1 out 4 has died in 4 years of use plus I like the fact no starter is needed so no flickering. Also cooler than fluorescent light.
  2. None. On our occasional visits to Bangkok we are mostly based on a main road so just flag down a passing taxi. If not on a main road there is usually a passing ' WIN ' to get you to the ' bahg soi ' if too far to walk Same here. Don't go to Bangkok often but when we do just flag down a passing cab. Never an issue ( in the daytime at least ) On the one or two occasions when our hotel is off the main drag there is usually a WIN service up and down the soi. Never thought about using one of the above services since the need has never arisen. If the wife is not with me tend to take a bus or train , the latter option also avoids traffic jams.
  3. Nurse Campbell......the ultimate clot. Facebook...new testement, wiki old testement. Science at its best.
  4. I am detecting a wee bit of outrage so far But seriously , foreigners building a house in Thailand is not exactly something new.
  5. Still is is you choose not to live in a tourist ghetto. I would much rather all the Chinese and Russians were concentrated in a small as area possible than spread out evenly throughout the country. I have yet to see a Russian , Indian or Chinese tourist.
  6. The Lumberjack song. Monty Python.
  7. I don't like pit bulls but if one was forced upon me I think I would call it Spud. Seems like a solid pit bully kind of name. Second choice would be Wayne.
  8. She's a lumberjack and she's OK, She works all night and she sleeps all day. She flags down cars and jumps inside And then removes her bra On Wednesdays she goes shopping And hangs around in bars.
  9. All the cells in your body turn to sperm , you have a massive ejaculation and all thats left of you is a big pool of gunk and a wee bit of foreskin.
  10. Not as humiliating as yet another coup with the miscreants granting themselves immunity from any future prosecution.
  11. Probably not a frog. Despite all my time here whenever I point at a similar amphibian and say ' frog ? ' I am instantly corrected since they have so many names for the different types and sizes. However , I just asked the wife and to spite me , she said it's a kind of frog.
  12. Two lamp posts + long piano wire = sorted
  13. I was thinking the same. Any decent rope would take a while to burn through. Would be extremely difficult to stand the pain. Tourist Police, conducted an extensive interview with the victim and initiated a thorough investigation, noting several inconsistencies in her account. If that is her in the pictures her clothes look very clean considering her ' ordeal ' Despite the lack of visible struggle marks on her clothes,
  14. No ?? Why ?? Oh..., I'm not a naked chef if that's what you mean. Just boxers all day. Wife ...shorts and t shirt.
  15. About four or five times a week . We seldom eat out as can't be bothered to get dressed. I do most of the cooking these days as my wife gets worn out looking after her disabled mother. I cook whatever is in the fridge etc. Hate throwing food away so if I see a bit of broccoli and a carrot etc unused I will cook something to save them for the bin. Finely dice the carrot and broccoli and put them in a pad grapow moo or boil them and serve with a pork steak , mash and 2 veg. Tomorrow I'm cooking geng masaman or maybe just a couple of chicken wraps.
  16. There was a similar incident on an EVA Air flight from London to Bangkok recently. The flight had to divert to Vienna where the unruly couple were removed from the plane. The woman then took out 5000 pounds and threw it all over the runway ( having refused to pay for an upgrade whilst still on the plane ) https://www.businessinsider.com/eva-air-passenger-kicked-off-plane-diverted-flight-2023-10 I really dread these long flights now. I'm thinking of getting myself a nice big crate with carpet and sleeping bag then shipping myself back to London as cargo on my next trip. A 12 hour flight is gruelling as it is but if you getan idiot sat next to you it would be absolute hell.
  17. Oh dear. That tactic has always been my go to escape plan in emergencies. I don't understand how it failed in this instance. Oh well, back to climbing trees or hiding in the long grass.
  18. Except that it will be like a blank cheque to any corrupt police out there , of whom there are many.
  19. Ahhh...the hub of back peddling and volte face never disappoints. Obviously, more time is needed so that influential politicians can divest themselves of their weed investments before the guillotine drops.
  20. The dirty dancers at the end are worth a watch Thailand has an aircraft carrier there
  21. Eradicating the issue is easy. Just stop talking or writing about it then it will no longer be an issue.
  22. Have you been drinking ?
  23. I've always managed well enough.
