Yesterday the discriminatory alcohol laws, to be enforced with 10K Baht fines. Today the out of control crop burning, which is a VERY SERIOUS threat to each individual. So, where are the 100K Baht fines to put a stop to a SERIOUS THREAT to loss of life!? If these people had the brains of a rocking horse, they would still be stupid.

TOTAL DISCRIMINATION! The law should apply to ALL venues, or not at all. These people don't have to prove they are morons, it's plain for all to see.

'this is insane' Please remember where you are!

Depends on which side you are looking from?

I would say for the majority no, but as has been shown many times, there are some bad apples.

More legal theft! Who is surprised?

Very strange! A few priests I have come across in the CofE have been total hypocrites. The first of which was at an early time of my life. My voice was starting to break and he called me out in front of full congregation. Another one was a total foul mouthed individual when not wearing his collar. There have been a few more I have come across, and they certainly shouldn't be priests.

Either as I remember. Although most of the shops, it was by weight, because you knew how much it would cost for 2/3/4 oz.

Religion was invented by a very clever conman.

Who remembers the Festival of Britain 1951? It was the first time I had seen an escalator and the first time I saw a TV. I was 10 at the time. I watched the 1952 Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953 on a TV set up in a shop window, by pushing my self to the front. As everyone could see over me no one objected. Between then and taking the Pines express from Bournemouth to Manchester in 1957, there were a number of memorable highlights, which I won't enlighten you with. However, my trip to Manchester was to play the magnificent 4 Manual Wurlitzer at the Gaumont cinema Oxford Street. I didn't win the competition, but the experience will not be forgotten.

The Gaumont Cinema in Westover Road was used for stage shows from time to time. I saw Cliff Richard there but can't remember the year. May have been 1958, as I left Bournemouth in 59 at the age of 18.

I can remember the same in the 40s. However, ours was much cleaner than the one shown. I also remember the oil heater we had in there in the winter months, the same type as the guy next door, put under the oil sump of his car in the garage.

The private hospitals will increase prices of doctor visits and care to cover the losses of dispensed medication.

If you must take a PPI, use Lansoprazole, its a lot kinder on the stomach and can be taken over a longer time. I use 5mg 30 minutes before eating dinner, but not every day. Stay away from spicy food, do not add salt to either the cooking or on the meal. There are all kinds of foods which can trigger reflux, including tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries. Keep a diary of your daily foods to asses what triggers it for you. Coffee, and alcohol are two drinks to avoid at night and don't eat at least 3 to 4 hours before going to bed. Take your time eating, rushing your food can be just as bad as some of the things you eat.

He holds his place in line, but if it came to the point of accession, he would be presented with form of abdication to sign within minutes.

Someone at the Alcohol Research Centre has obviously been at the bottle again.

This was the attitude when the UK changed the alcohol laws. Yes, it did cause a problem for about 12 months, but then people realised how much more they were spending on booze. On the other hand TIT!

I see Thumbelina's about again

Hasn't affected me, but feel sorry for those it did. Cash still has it's advantages, although posting it abroad could be a problem?

I'll kind of half believe you on that, but there are many thousands who possibly wouldn't.😀

I have known about this for at least the past 20 years, so 20/23 has very little to do with it.

Rearrange perhaps?

Thanks for the info, Jake. Much appreciated, will give it a go today.

Can't find anywhere else to ask this. I am looking for a fast internet connection, preferably with a SIM card. Any recommendations, please?

IF he is fluent in English, he is one of a very rare breed of Thai's who can. Our local Central Plaza always comes out as 'Centan, and Plaza might just as well be dead as it is NEVER used.
