The guy who does these in our amphur lives in our village. Years ago I gave him a case of Leo, plus a translation of my passport made by a local teacher, with my parent's names added in Thai script, and he gave me the book a few days later. I didn't even visit the district office to get it. I did some time later though, after he asked if I wanted a pink card to go with it, because of the photo on it.

I just finished my first 12 hour night shift at the glass factory. I can honestly say I’m shattered!

A sex Ed teacher walks into class with a condom and a banana. He addresses the class and says "today I will show you how to use a condom. I also have this banana, because I can't get an erection on an empty stomach".

What's the difference between a genealogist and a gynaecologist? One looks up the family tree, the other looks up the family bush.

My snooty friend always uses French words like hors d’oeuvres in his day-to-day conversation. And that’s just for starters.

A man was sitting at home one evening, when the doorbell rang. When he answered the door, a 6 foot tall cockroach was standing there. The cockroach immediately punched him between the eyes and scampered off. The next evening, the man was sitting at home when the doorbell rang again. When he answered the door, the cockroach was there again. This time, it punched him, kicked him and karate chopped him before running away. The third evening, the man was sitting at home when the doorbell rang. When he answered the door, the cockroach was there yet again. It leapt at him and stabbed him several times before running off. The gravely injured man managed to crawl to the telephone and summoned an ambulance. He was rushed to intensive care, where they saved his life. The next morning, the doctor was doing his rounds. He asked the man what happened, so the man explained about the 6 foot cockroach's attacks, culminating in the near fatal stabbing. The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there's a nasty bug going around."

Posted to YouTube around 15:40 today (April 19th): "A Russian nuclear-capable supersonic bomber has been shot down deep inside Russia, with the Ukrainian air force claiming responsibility for it. The Tu-22M3 was taking part in a bombing run to launch cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities when it was downed around 190 miles from the front line".

So maybe his own lawyers are sedating him to prevent that, or at least prevent an outburst from him. Might be the smartest thing they've ever done.

It's not that easy to crash directly into the sun. The smallest deviation in course will result in the object just going into orbit around it. The orbit of the Earth would give the object a lateral motion relative to the sun, which would have to be cancelled out for a start - a very large rocket is required to do this. Even if that is successfully done, the trajectory would have to be extremely precise for the rest of the journey.

There are reports that Ukraine attacked a major Russian airbase in Crimea yesterday (April 17th), apparently using ATACMS missiles. "Up to 30 Russian personnel may have been killed and another 80 injured, according to a new report, after dramatic footage appeared to show explosions at a Russian military base in northern Crimea overnight... ... Dzhankoy, south of the crossing from Crimea into Ukraine's annexed Kherson region, is a major military hub. Home to one of Russia's largest airfields in Crimea, it is key for keeping Russian forces on the mainland stocked up."
