My mad ex #2 graduated from throwing plates at me to throwing knives at me.  Plates I could handle, but a knife thrown while I had my back to her was too much.  I opted for a more peaceful life...

Did she swear that you reversed into the knife?

The local mafia who have been dumping bodies in oil drums are getting a little worried I'd wager.

Yeah, expect to see 'No scuba diving' signs going up very soon.

The only thing that's shocking is how easy it is that he can keep a straight face whilst feigning alarm.

I wonder how easy it will be for a Russian aircraft to obtain Boeing spare parts in Thailand?

Maybe Aeroflot can go along to Somchais Used Aero Parts in Suphanburi. They have plenty of barely used Boeing parts an Austrian gentleman donated years ago.

The falang mentality.

You mean pointing out Prayut says he'll keep the price of diesel below 30bht when it's been above that for some time?

BTW between 31 and 34.5 where I live....the locals aren't enjoying it at all.

Nonsense - the average death is OVER life expectancy. Below was from January 21 - ONS - it would be impossible for life expectancy to go down based on deaths above life expectancy !

 

Cumulative total of Weekly deaths by age band

Age Bands	Number of Deaths
<1	2
1-4	1
5-9	1
10-14	5
15-19	11
20-24	34
25-29	70

Wrong, older people dying younger than they would normally drags down the average.

Edit...edwinchester beat me to it with a simple explanation.

That could be interpreted as 50% but I know you don't mean that. It's the same...half of one-percent (written different ways).

You're wrong, 0.5% and 50% are entirely different by a factor of 100.

Should have bought some helicopter gunships rather than submarines.

Hi, does anyone have an idiot guide to the step by step process a Thai National with a young child has to go through to return to Thailand from the UK please?

They're aware they need to register at the Thai Embassy but then the guidelines get a little confusing regards the Certificate of Entry and booking flights.

Is there a health questionnaire that needs to be filled in as well?

"...and a 7-Eleven outlet in a PTT petrol station."

Glad they narrowed that location down.

Muang Thai Insurance T&C's say Thais only.

.....as do the first 3 companies listed by TQM Broker.

Seems a pointless thread as far as farang are concerned if that's the case.

Anybody know an Insurance Company insuring expats regards Covid as of now?

Muang Thai Insurance T&C's say Thais only.

"The staff is also racing against time to replace water drainage pipes."

Just a suggestion. How about doing the required work before the rainy season starts?

Until there is no longer water enough to drink, enough food to eat, until rising sea levels force millions from coastlines then not enough will be done imo.

Desperately sad and unforgivable but those in positions of enough power to actually do something seem, for whatever reasons, not to have the will.

So if they are now told to register it begs the question why on earth weren't school bus drivers registered before?

Is it because there was no need or is it because there was such a requirement but that nobody have a <deleted> as to whether the regulation was enforced?

Exactly my experience with iLikehd

I believe Skynet is available on c and ku bands but you will need check with the supplier as not 100% sure.

Exactly how many months repayment left?
