  1. The only truth she ever told him was most likely the Brothers 400,000 gambling debts !
  2. RIP the Old Fella. Just this morning i pulled up as lights went red and five vehicles passed me as they jumped the red light. Happens every second of every day here. Having been here now for almost 20 years i would say driving standards have dropped dramatically, particularly in the last five years. Can't see how it's ever going to improve with no Enforcement of Laws.
  3. Well; there you have it, just reward for wearing a row of Fake Medal Ribbons and walking around all day offering Wi's to everyone in sight !
  4. What Education System ? They don't have one worth a mention !
  5. A 'Free Trade Agreement' should mean very low or zero Tariff's on each others goods entering the Country. Unless Thailand agrees to zero or low Tariffs on British goods entering Thailand then Britain should not sign up to any 'deal'.
  6. Must be a toss up which will ever come to fruition first.....High Speed Trains or Submarines. Both projects a complete waste of money when the Country could do with Billions of Baht being spent on Clean Tap Water, getting all those disgusting Electrical Wires underground, proper Sewerage Systems with Pumping Stations etc and Road Surfaces that don't break up a month after they are laid !
  7. Not a lot of Stocktaking at his shop then. Anyone who has lost 25 Million Bahts worth of stock and never noticed it for years is a first class Plonker !
  8. I've already spoken to my local Tax Office about this as i visit at least once a year to file my claim for a refund of the Tax Interest Payments taken by the Banks on our Accounts holding the Funds for Visa. As i already have a Tax Number and ID Card for this purpose i asked if i will need another one later for these new rules and they laughed and said 'probably not in your lifetime'. They went on to say they have recieved not a single word from Head Office about any forthcoming changes but, as you are already a registered claimant if there are any changes you will be informed accordingly. Parting shot from them was 'see you next year when you claim your refund'.
  9. Probably not. A lot of the older Trucks have terrible rear lighting too and often at least one Brake Light is not working. Indeed; it is possible to see multiple Vehicles of all types every day with defective bulbs on Thai roads.
  10. Building Inspector checking Car Park Wall strengths ! Lol.
  11. Must be a quiet day. If ever there was a Non-Event posting then this must be in the top 5 of the year !
  12. There again; they change the rules every five minutes, so you could be shot at dawn !
  13. Yet to encounter a 'real' Public Official here; they are 99% Fake and on the make !
  14. BRICS will become a kind of EU; in that two or three Countries will be putting money in the pot and the rest will be scavengers and poor relations hanging on their apron strings hoping for handouts. Thailand will of course be one of the latter !
