Don't worry about the friendly Africans there but if you run into any friendly scousers run like hell

Nuff said.

Was that you in the blue lycra and red cape I saw fly past last night ?

So , out of curiosity , which vaccine did you have and are you in any way worried ?

What does a Catholic priest and a silver medalist have in common? They both came in a little behind.

A double entry would be good for 180 days with one border bounce required after the first 90 days. Many years ago ,( in the 80's ) this double entry visa was issued very frequently at the Penang consulate.

What would they want for just a double entry I wonder ?

Sorry to hear how banged up you were but good to see you got excellent treatment at the hospital. I've had similar experiences with hospitals here , always got excellent treatment and agree with how fast the ambulance arrived. Whenever I am at lights or doing a U turn I am always looking in the rear view mirror for just such an idiot as got you. If I see anything approaching fast I get out of the way in case they haven't seen me. TIT .....very poor spacial awareness is too common here.

Jeez...this is a tough one. I need to do some extensive research before I can give an unequivocal answer. My gut instinct is to go for a lighter colored car in the tropics, based on physics. However , in reality, regardless of the color of your car it will get hot if exposed to the sun for more than a few minutes. So.....guess it comes down to color preference in the end.

First results of the joint project look impressive

Well, after they make a post on AN , the Thai immigration officer assigned to reading such threads finds out the ISP of the poster and ....bingo.....arrested shortly thereafter.

Looks a bit like Judge Dreads

Twenty years. I feel for you. By then , when you get to 68 you will have to pay a hefty tax the for having the themerity of living to that age. It will be called the disinheritance tax.

It seems to be very seasonal. Before the christmas rush this topic comes around about the same time as the first chorus of jingle bells in Big C.. Basically, you get a stick and poke it around in the embers of last years fire, find a warm ember and try to kindle it back into life.

Then I can count myself as one of the lucky ones.

As a start, without the bombing they could have competely sealed off Gaza from the outside world until the hostages are released. Nothing in or out until this first step is complied with. Yes , innocent Palestinians , women and children , would still suffer but the ball would be in Hamas court. They would be seen as the ones responsible for the suffering and Israel would be seen as showing restraint. Revenge is a dish best served cold. At the end of WW2 . Israel systematicaly tracked down and killed those Germans responsible for the holocaust that had escaped justice. The same should be done with regards to Hamas. Go after and kill those respensible for the acts of terrorism that started this latest round. Slow, yes, but a lot safer than the road Israel is currently taking. From now on , even Israelies in friendly Thailand will need to look over their shoulders. But this is not looking at the big picture. Some jews may enjoy chanting ' death to the arabs ' but by no means all. Israel badly needs good governance by more moderate people. The likes of Netanyahu should not hold high office. People like him on both sides are part of the problem and they will never have a solution.

On a technical point , wrong God. Christ and the Christian God were the ones for turning the other cheek. Yahweh is a different case altogether. Eye for an eye type of God. The god of the jews has been described by some scholars as an elemental , strictly of this planet. Not the universal God Jesus refered to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental

Agreed , the reaction of Israel and America is actually rewarding terrorism , playing into the terrorists hands by doing exactly what Hamas expected themn to do. Now , Islamic extremists the world over will rally to the cause and the end result will be more innocent people killed , including many Israelies. Of the options open to Israel , they have chosen the worst.

The UK is now actually 66. I know because I went back to the UK in August to put in my claim. This so that it appears I reside in the UK and will get any future pension increases. Get my first full payment next week.

Me too. The memory of it still produces a grin. On the same programme. ' Man walks into a bar .................. But you know the punchline already !!

More than 1 of these. Pretty cleverly done.

I dreamt I was eating a 10 kilo marshmallo. Woke up in the morning and the pillow was gone.

Depends where the beard is.
