  1. Glad your order from Prik Pot arrived safely.
  2. Been there done that. 6 weeks on an experimental night shift at Sainsburys. I won the pool competition too !!
  3. I doubt it. Took three home tests ...all negative. The only precaution we did take was at bedtime not using the air con, opening the window and keeping to our own half the bed , back to back to avoid breathing in each others face. Possibly covid 19 has an aversion to anyone steeped in Lao Khao. Who knows.
  4. Ah.....that will be the passive weed smoking taking effect. Better have extra tonight to play it safe.
  5. Both wife and I triple vaccinated. She got covid as she has an active social life. Felt a little rough for two days. Despite continuing to live and sleep together as normal I didn't get covid from her. Still not had it. Anecdotal evidence is not worth a hill of beans.
  6. Original article taken from advert in Pravda and translated from Russian ?
  7. More laid back than North Koreans.
  8. A lot of us did stupid things when we were teenagers but what she did goes way beyond stupid. Had ISIS not come undone and been kicked out she would likely still be there perfectly content. She would be better off trying to get Bangladesh to accept her. She has not renounced Islam so presumably she would be happier there.
  9. Going to be so many there that Putin will have to annex the place to stop Russians there being scammed and exploited. Meanwhile , I am pouring Lao Khao into empty Vodka bottles and plan to sell them as local Vodka. Get rich quick and they won't notice the difference.
  10. You can buy it at any pharmacy. I buy the 5mg size. However, I have noticed it does not really have a big impact on my blood pressure. I tried the 10 mg size which does take about 5 points off my blood pressure but has unpleasant side effects. As a consequence , I use other methods and medication to bring my blood pressure down that are more effective.. ( less alcohol and more exercise for starters ) One thing you will notice in Thailand is that they check blood pressure more frequently. My mother never knew hers was high until she visited our excellent dentist here and her blood pressure was checked. This was confirmed by her GP when she returned to the UK where nobody had ever bothered to check it. Walk into any government hospital in Thailand and you will see blood pressure monitors scattered about where you can self test and get the printed result. No charge for this and no permission needed. At my local hospital ALL patients are required to self test and get the print out before seeing the doctor. Best thing is to get as many of theses readings as possible since a single test is no real measure of your average blood pressure. Go every day of your holiday if you can ! Only takes 5 minutes and nobody will bother you if you just walk in , test yourself and leave. Perfectly normal here.
  11. Like the bloke who bought a secondhand one. Gave him the clap.
  12. On Tuesday she should ask hubby to drop her off at the airport. She is flying to Gambia to take golf lessons. Then start sending honey there to pay for her lessons. Then put a picture of her instructor on the bedroom wall. An athletic looking Gambian man with bulges in all the right places. Any questions ? None of hubbys business. .
  13. Something like this is fairly common in rural areas
  14. Probably not. Too many dogs and other hazards but would be good to watch. Some pretty high speeds involved.
  15. I'm interested. Pray tell. I have driven cars with a broken clutch but in order to do so I had to turn off the engine ( whilst stationary ) slip it into third then turn on engine and gun it as it lurches forward. If third too high , works in 2nd. What's your way ? Either way , most Thais that drive saloon cars can't drive manual transmissions.
  16. Yea ?????? ....................................................................................................Nahhhh .
  17. Wow....massive poll. Probably conducted on various military bases.
  18. Not moral support. Neither of them have any.
  19. Dan talks ......the world stands still. The Gods take notes.
  20. The Swedes seem to have caught the sun a bit.
  21. Hmmm...I won't complain if that is the case. A pittance in the UK but a handy amount here in Thailand.
  22. Burn them surreptitiously instead of brazenly and put it down to an accident or misunderstanding.
  23. You might find that it will now be based on whatever the current rate is when you claim , which will be more than 185 pounds. Get a new forecast maybe. In the meantime I got my information swatting up on youtube.
