  1. I've made it to 80 without a single serious Health issue, i excercise every day, eat a good diet, have had two Medical Examinations every year for the last 20 years, don't drink and don't smoke. I would like to surpass my Grandmothers life of 97 but hope to make at least 90. However; we are all in the hands of God and right now i am just very happy to wake every morning. With reference to us 'living in the Jungle', i believe that is much better than living in the lousy weather of Northern Europe where cold and damp ground works its way up through our legs to our entire body. I came here to live my last years in a warm environment.
  2. This is Thailand where hardly anyone sees past tomorrow. There are no real Plans, only Bull<deleted> !
  3. What they will put in the room is plenty of the same useless idiots that are doing things now, nobody with Innovative or fresh idea's, dead horse floggers. They have no hope of reversing things as they don't have the Brains to know what wants changing !
  4. And where were these 'Engineers' and / or SafEty Officers before the collappse carrying out regular Safety Checks on such a Heavy Duty Project ? Counting Baht Notes out of Envelopes no doubt !
  5. Until Thai's are taught properly from the start of the learning process and properly tested to obtain a License then nothing will get any better. For most of them it's like a game of Bumper Cars, they are lousy judges of speed and distance too and nobody ever rams it into their heads that Speed Kills. Pedal to the Metal is the order of the driving day and to hell with all other Road Users, they become Maniac Monsters behind the wheel, Give them any stretch of Straight Road and they think it's a Runway to take off on. My Thai Wife has given up driving completely at 60 as she has lost her confidence and says that Thai Drivers have got worse as the years have passed and she is scared now like never before.
  6. Jokers the lot of them. This afternoon we were coming home when a Motorbike carrying four Young Men, Helmetless of course, pulled out of the frontage of a row of Shops, cut in front of me, jumped a red light further down the road and vanished up a side soi. Lad on the back was carrying and drinking Beer from a blue 'camouflage' carrier bag, so often seen that they may as well not bother with any bag at all ! Where were the Cops ? Nowhere to be seen of course.
  7. Bunch of Jokers. In all the Local Rural Bars around our way the majority sitting there every evening are already 'intoxicated' before they get there. Furthermore; the Local Cops are fairly often among them !!
  8. Typical Thai Ignorance of anything to do with the outside World. Don't forget at Schoole they are taught that Thailand is 'The Greatest Country On Earth', so why would they care about anyone else's Flags !
  9. Systems can't be connected until Brains are connected first !
  10. I was told at my Local Tax Office that it's in the 'Out' Tray !
  11. The Guy has a Target on his back. You can't be an Ex Cop here and spill the beans; time to leave the Country !
  12. If she had any sense she would never come back but they all seem to want to, probably to get their hands on some more of the hidden stash ! They get bored in Countries where they can't dominate the 'Tea Money' Pot.
  13. Thailand is not and never will be in The Real World; it is in some kind of Parallel Universe where certain Local Aliens think that only their opinion is valid and all others void of meaning !
