Money is the only language this man understands, and he would sell his kids soul for an extra thousand bucks. But there is a serious question as to whether or not his kids even have souls.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:05:56 +0000Very few people dig for the right change. Most just hand over the notes and wait for the cashier to do her bit. Of course there are disorganised on both sides but there appears to be more phone ditherers than cash ones in proportion to the overall numbers of each. The abnormally high number of disorganised phone payers makes for a slower overall experience for everyone, including the quick, organised tap and go-ers. Changing them back to cash won't make any difference as they'd be slow with that too so yes, in aggregate things have improved but there's a long way to go. 50/50 on that. It still requires an app and use of a phone so if you can't/won't open up a bank app and prepare it in advance of being presented a QR code or whatever, you'll be the same with Google Wallet. Simiarily, someone who doesn't have notes in their hand when the total appears on the till won't have a bank card in their hand ready to tap either so almost back to square one.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:05:02 +0000Another turnup for the books this week with a swede in trouble again.He might end up vegetating in the big house if he's not careful.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:04:54 +0000I've PM'd you.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:04:46 +0000I received a new passport. Did the first 90 day report in person. Have just done the next one online with no problems. Submitted it on Monday and received approval on Tuesday.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:03:41 +0000Trump and his advisors consistently underestimate everyone, and run around thumping their chests like 13 year old school bullies. They all need to be stopped, ASAP. Trump is running America into the ground and the majority of his supporters are completely unaware of it. Sleep dear ones, sleep.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:03:33 +0000AgreeThu, 21 May 2026 03:03:23 +0000Right back at you... No where in my original post did I say anything about bargirls getting visas, yet you go right to your bargirl retort. I'm surprised how obtuse people on this board can be. Try to keep up and stay on point.Thu, 21 May 2026 03:00:13 +0000Maybe there needs to be a sign on the Motorway entering Pattaya like they do a construction sites. " Days since the last Balcony fall" Might focus visitors attention.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:59:58 +0000The degree to which the GOP is attempting to influence election results these days reminds one very much of Thai politics.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:59:37 +0000The problem is that you can't insure for stupidity.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:59:01 +0000I bet you do! In your previous AN account, management decided to isolate you from the forum hoping that your penchant for misinformation would abate.... instead... here we are! LOLThu, 21 May 2026 02:58:57 +0000Are the motives to attack Cuba clear or he just muddled along and run into another Iran war type fiasco. Trump is just making decision based on impulse and no strategic plan. Meanwhile the poor in Cuba are bearing the brunt of his extreme economic pressure. He is a demented man and has no empathy for others' suffering.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:58:50 +0000And who are you to be saying how clean the water is if you never swim there? I have swam in the ocean off Pattaya beach... is the water cleaner than in the bad old days? Absolutly its cleaner..... But the truth is the water quality is still bad.....A swim is an unpleasant experience.....Instead of a zero rating, I would now give the water a 3 rating, possibly a 4 on a very good day..Thu, 21 May 2026 02:57:22 +0000I can agree with you on that, BUT how are you going to achieve it Trump only wants to enrich himself and his mob ! and dont forget it was the YANKS who caused this !!Thu, 21 May 2026 02:56:09 +0000There's no question that Trump is becoming increasingly more insane unhinged and out of control daily. He may not be a drunkard, but he's certainly drunk with his power, and that's a whole lot of worse. There's no question that Raul and his brother Fidel are both members of the Cockroach family. They are absolute vermin and what they've done to the Cuban people is unforgivable. However I'm not sure what this warrant even means, and it certainly cannot be exercised without Raul leaving Cuba, unless they're planning another kidnap Maduro style. The Trump circus continues unabated, and nobody's willing to stand up to the chief clown. I think any psychologist would tell us that all the chaos that Trump is putting out there into the world is a sign of not only madness, but also an extraordinary degree of self-loathing. Trump will be remembered, but unfortunately it will be for all the wrong reasons.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:55:09 +0000Well, hope Trump is learning something from this ( probably not ) . Don't let Netanyahu and his cronies lead you by the nose into a dangerous quagmire from which there is no easy way out.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:54:57 +0000This has nothing to do with Drummond, but a mysterious unsolved death of a bodybuilder in Pattaya. One of his bodybuilder friends had a harem of girls living with him (hookers?) in Pattaya. And this Leo guy was abusive towards women and the other guy didn't like that he was abusing his women? Very bizarre story.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:54:52 +0000The American Dream ?Thu, 21 May 2026 02:54:34 +0000Ewe would, would ewe?Thu, 21 May 2026 02:53:27 +0000Reading your prior bold comment you seemed to care about corruption though.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:53:26 +0000Hunter Biden's laptop news was in October 2020 wasn't it? It would have been Trump's FBI and DOJ back then wouldn't it?Thu, 21 May 2026 02:51:52 +0000The first post and the usual standard insurance job claim. It is amazing that posters with no knowledge of fire investigation and it seems, how insurance companies work, that seem to think that after every fire the insurance companies, just hands over the cash, so naive. Go to the multiple accident topics and you see how willing insurance companies are when it comes to paying out.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:51:21 +0000I think everybody just wants to get back to work, wants leaders to stop wasting time on non-sense. Focus on the core items, jobs, reduced taxes, affordable medical care and college tuition, a sensible immigration policy, work on improving social security. I'm keeping hope alive. Some way, some how.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:51:10 +0000
