  1. Not from what I have seen and heard. They are started by military wanting more power and funded by uber rich folk who are concerned that others are after their ill gotten gains.
  2. A Russian and a Ukrainian working together, Surely this should be encouraged.
  3. Nowt in Samui (again). Very breezy though.
  4. That is true, but from what I can remember, you opened the door and had to walk between the two carriages. There was nothing to stop you from falling off as you moved over the couplings. (But it was a long time ago and my memory is ........)
  5. Back in the 50s we knew how to take care of ourselves without being mollycoddled. A way of life that appears to be lost forever.
  6. I do not use them and I have managed to survive for more than 70 years without them. Weird eh?
  7. See my edit please. Without a smart phone yes, but I still use a phone for calls and SMS. (Mostly for friends.) Customers/guests can call me if there is an emergency. No apps or wifi on my phone. Everything else is e-mails on a laptop. None of my customers have a problem with that.
  8. When I bought a new bike from a dealer (with cash), they told me to wait until I had a new visa. There was less than one month of my one year visa left. As I started to walk away, they changed their mind and accepted the existing visa. I did show them my Thai DL and POR (work permit) I have also bought second hand bikes for cash. Sometimes they do not have a book, but I have never provided documents.
  9. Here on Samui they are more akin to the docs from M*A*S*H fixing all of the folk that crash their scooters.
  10. Yes, if you include their proxies and economic and migrant invasions. The US invasions were a while ago, the dictators' ones are more recent.
  11. A short video clip, maybe taken out of context, filmed by non Spanish speaking folk, who probably have an agenda. Let's hear the other side of the story before jumping to conclusions.
  12. Love that one. That is why I do not use Google DuckDuckGo is my chosen search engine.
  13. Lots of birds in my garden here on Samui. Dawn chorus wakes me up most days. Unfortunately, I am rubbish at identifying them, but some are the usual ones - Wagtails, mynahs, doves, pigeons, Indian roller, sunbirds, and ones that I call 'bandit birds' - light brown/grey with a black 'mask' as in The Lone Ranger. But my biggest pest at the mo (and I do love them) are these guys - Ate my pineapple and now eating the pomegranates. Had nine, five left. This guy was just over one meter from the bedroom window.
  14. I believe that the reason is because the UK press have just released the results of the coroner's inquest. Here, they have just followed the donkey.
  15. sorry, but I was in the IT industry since the '60s and I have never seen a keyboard with round keys as in the photo. Looks weird.
  16. Yes, I wonder if Boss will send his private plane to come and pick them all up to join him on the F1 circuit. They could just make it to Italy for today's race if they are quick. Free Red Bull in the hospitality area.
  17. Please Mr Thailand Post, stop pratting around with non postal issues and give us back a postman so that we can actually receive post.
  18. As a retiree, how much tax are you currently paying at the moment? BTW, my salary tax is much less %age wise than in the UK. (So is my salary )
