If you look at the Etymology of the word - probably from German dialect nit not + English wit So whilst I strongly disagree with insulting anyone on the forum I do perceive that some posters do display a distinct lack of a sense of humour or "wit"

Time to renew - last year I seem to recall I had to sign a form completely in Thai (I think it was about understanding the issues with not complying with the rule - but not sure. I can't seem to find this doc online anyone know where I can find it? Also just to be sure what documents/forms do you have to supply now when applying (eg do you need the notice of where you are staying form completed etc?) Thanks

More and more I see a world where people complain about, admonish, insult, ostracise, people who don't have the same views as them. The line between "Moderation", "Censorship" and the imposition of ones own values on others is a tricky one to navigate.

Gifts to whom? Wife? partner? friend?

Apologies, I was refering to Gaviscon Guardium which I had used in Europe. Guardium acid reflux control 20mg gastro-resistant tablets, contains Esomeprazole. Always read the label.

That's what cheap wine does for you! - of course you are correct - and sober I hope

Isn't that a form or omeprazole?

As long as food for the goose is food for the gander

Like all cheap wine after the 5th glass it tastes fantastic Also I saw some "French" wines in Tesco - when you read the labels on the reverse of the bottle on two different alleged Vintners they both read the same with the same grammatical and spelling mistakes well I can't find one for "sham".

Tomato Chutney and pressure cooking my beef ready for: Chinese beef curry and a few beef and onion pies.

So where is the arrival area going to be now - it seems a bus station without one is severly handicapped!

I think they work by using the latent heat of vapourisation ie when you evaporate water it cools the air around it. As suck they probably cool somewhat but I suspect they will raise the humidity in the room.

I an suprised - a Passport has no address and only confirms your nationality not your residence

For me these books still have good plots but don't hang togeter quite so well as a story. Also Series 2 Reacher on Prime did not impress me at all - but I hope they try again. I also Like the Connelly Books - Bosch and the Prime Series

Age brings many "gifts" most of them unwanted and boredom is probably one of the least threatening since you can address it without doctors, operations or pills everyday. In the 60's there was a popular book by Sanuel Beckett called "Waiting for Godot" which I see as an allegory for old age and the inevitable consequence - here's a synopsis. Waiting for Godot, tragicomedy in two acts by Irish writer Samuel Beckett, published in 1952 in French as En attendant Godot and first produced in 1953. Waiting for Godot was a true innovation in drama and the Theatre of the Absurd’s first theatrical success. The play consists of conversations between Vladimir and Estragon, who are waiting for the arrival of the mysterious Godot, who continually sends word that he will appear but who never does. They encounter Lucky and Pozzo, they discuss their miseries and their lots in life, they consider hanging themselves, and yet they wait. Often perceived as being tramps, Vladimir and Estragon are a pair of human beings who do not know why they were put on earth; they make the tenuous assumption that there must be some point to their existence, and they look to Godot for enlightenment. Because they hold out hope for meaning and direction, they acquire a kind of nobility that enables them to rise above their futile existence. Being bored whilst waiting for the inevitable surely must be a waste of those precious days.

If not I will be happy to make room in mine

I think I am having to stop looking at this thread - I am already 5kg overweight and so many good ideas. Maybe the thread should have a health warning

Today (and yesterday) it's mooncake for the Chinese New Year (a couple of hundred as gifts for friends)!!

I have 1 medium chest freezer, 1 big freezer in my large fridge and 1 small freezer in another fridge. They are all totally FULL and as soon as one of them has some space available it fills again. My gf was a teacher and she was also responsible for the catering at her school of around 120 students and staff. She has now retired but when she cooks at home (often) she still thinks she's cooking for the school!!!

Not quite - Biden told the archives he had them and cooperated. Trump hid them and didn't cooperate

So there is another reason and maybe a more important one - free health care which is not available in Thailand

As he was a Trump appointee and even the judiciary is politicised (they are appointed by the President at the time) I's difficult not to think this was a report designed to thow more fuel and the fire.

If you miss "western comforts" maybe Thailand or Asia is not the place to be.

I have said this before - the American Voters will get what they deserve and the rest of the world will have to suffer for it! But it is sad to see the demise of a once great nation.
