Pentagon Intelligence Agency Halts Observances of MLK Day, Black History Month, and More
As 48% of the US Population are already of the 'Coloured' variety they can hardly be called a 'Minority' and within 20 years the Whiteman will become the 'Minority' !

Head-On Collision Kills Five in Ang Thong
RIP those lost. This sort of thing will never be eradicated from Thai roads as the majority of drivers, particularly the Men, are 'Me First' very selfish types where their own importance outweighs all other safety considerations. I wonder how many of these people were wearing Seat Belts ? However; with that force of impact even Belts won't save everyone.

Bangkok prison scrutinised for bribes and Chinese inmate privilege
Always makes me laugh when a Thai Citizen is 'surprised' by Corruption in any Government Institution in this Country when i've never met a Thai who believes there is any honesty in any of them !

Collision in Lopburi: Multiple Injuries as Pickup Swerves to Avoid Car
In any Country where people are taught to drive properly we are taught never to swerve but to brake in a straight line, even if it means a collision with the offending Vehicle in front of you. Much safer than causing this kind of carnage.

Collision in Lopburi: Multiple Injuries as Pickup Swerves to Avoid Car
Difficult because Government don't want to pay to build Roundabouts every so often, which would also have the effect of slowing down all the idiot speedsters !

Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
Are we supposed to feel sorry for him ? If he married the wrong Woman it's not our fault. If he broke Thai Law it's not our fault. If he used his brain to make better choices this wouldn't have happened. Thailand is a great place to be if you behave properly and make the right choices !

Thai Army Day Ceremony Ends in Tragedy
Having visited a few Army and Airforce Bases over the years and seen the slack lives they all live here it doesn't surprise me one bit that there are 'Accidents' on a fairly regular basis !

Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
I had a similar experience with a sales promotion in a Supermarket some years ago. I looked around a car and asked the girl where the dealership was so that i could test drive one and she said ''Oh; no test car, people just buy '' . I replied ''Sorry; no test drive, no buy !

Visa Reforms Boost Thai Tourism, Chinese Visitors Surge 26%
Seems to me that a lot of the Chinese have come to live here and not just as Tourists. Everywhere we go around Chiang Mai these days it's Chinese jabbering away around us, normally loudly, even in the Banks !

Dealing with existential boredom !
I'm 79 and been here almost 20 years. I don't have time to be bored; i have just spent the last six weeks painting the whole of the outside of our house (Bungalow) and there is now a stack of gardening waiting to be done. Apart from that i had a flood in the outer Kitchen caused by a rotten Washing Machine Waste Pipe, so it was off to Mr DIY to buy a new pipe and fit it while the Mrs sorted the flood. Next will come painting the Brick Built Shed that houses my Model Railway Layout and we go shopping at least once a week and out for lunch on another day. There will be two Holidays to other Countries this year; first already booked for Japan in March. Never been bored in my life thus far and don't intend to be; there is always plenty to do. I have one or two friends that moan about boredom but they are too lazy to do anything about it and seem to think that drinking is a 'Hobby' whilst talking about 'what to do'. I've always thought there are three kinds of people.....the 'Talkers', the 'Tryers' and the 'Doers' and i know plenty of the first category !
