That was my thought exactly. Well done - you beat me to it.

Sorry, but when will the world learn that you cannot negotiate peace with animals. ☹️

Oh dear. 🤪 How will Samsung update my phone with the wifi turned off? Samsung have been trying to download updates ever since I bought it. Not been successful yet. The phone is quite old now but I can still make calls, send SMS's and take photos. That is all I need. Oh - and an alarm for 'beer o'clock' with friends

Somehow the phrase 'flogging a dead horse' seems appropriate here.

Oh doubting Thomas. As I said. No third party apps - just the ones from Samsung/AIS that I cannot uninstall. And still no WIFI .

Then you do not own the car. Has it been bought on hire purchase/loan? If it has, I believe that the lender keeps the book until the loan is paid up, and so they have to do the tax.

You just need the blue book and compulsory insurance as others have said. Watch the age of the car. It needs a certificate of testing after 7 years (? not sure exactly). This is similar to the UK MOT.

Well done Samai. Hope that the girl finds peace.

No wifi or third party apps on my phone. Problem solved.

But China has been exporting cheap schitt to Thailand (and many others) for years. Thailand is even developing a new railway line to make it easier/cheaper to do so. Why is this suddenly a problem?

Pretty good here on Samui. Blue skies with a bit of cloud. What is the current air quality in Ko Samui? Air pollution level Air quality index Main pollutant Moderate 61 US AQI PM2.5 (17µg/m³)

Hmm. 43 flights into Samui today. That is average for this time of year. Not a lot compared to Bangkok but a lot for an island with a small runway. No long haul flights. The furthest is Chengdu, Singapore, Hong Kong and Chongqing. As a private airport, the CAA puts a limit on the flights. I think that it is a maximum of 50 fights in per day.

Facebook is rubbish at preventing scammers Fixed it.

It has got to be more safe than working in Israel at the moment. Different skill set unfortunately.

I urge everyone to donate blood if they can. Especially foreigners with O Rh- blood (universal donor). Not many Asians are O-. I was called by hospitals a number of times to give blood to foreigners that had been in accidents or needed difficult surgery. Sadly, at age 72, I am now too old to donate. And always remember that the life that you save may be your own. Or a loved one.

A fairly naive statement. Would you also ban tourists from crossing roads, renting cars, being passengers in tour buses, climbing waterfalls and so on ad nauseam. People are responsible for their own actions. The lad did everything correctly. Wore a helmet, had a licence, took out the proper insurance.

What sex life?

I will let you know if I retire. (I expect to die 'in harness'.) Only 72 and still running a business that I set up here 23 years ago. Too busy to be bored. My only regret is that my younger wife died 8 years ago. We were married for 30 years. I still miss that girl.

Boeing have problems in recent years with quality/testing. It is not just one particular model. It seems to be pervasive throughout the organisation. Same with their space craft. Would you really want to be the first astronaut on the Boeing Starliner https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/06/boeing-stands-down-from-starliner-launch-to-address-recently-found-problems/

I am so glad that I live in your head rent free. Please continue to carry on the personal attacks and live in denial. (Maybe smoke less?)

I have no problem with mine when I forget to disconnect it after taking back ups. Stays there for weeks/months at a time.

I am not sure that I can bring myself to do that. My idea of fast food is that I ring the local restaurant. I order pad krapow moo with a fried egg and rice. (60 baht) By the time I get to the restaurant it is cooked and waiting for me. About 7 minutes depending on traffic. Head home and enjoy it with a beer. (99 baht IPA) Nearest KFC is about 30 minutes away and with tricky parking.

Sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you are buying. Last went into a KFC over 30 years ago (back in the UK)

This person is the 'house manager' and can also do the TM 30's.

No. I have also never raped anyone or murdered anyone. Yes, I reserve the right to condemn people who break the law.
