I steer clear of drain covers when I'm walking in the morning, loads of cars park on them & over a period of time they weaken. Never looks like they use a strong material either!! The price of nationwide corruption

Drain covers “Made in China”. 

(Same place as tanks and subs).

"Sanook called her a fatty". Good enough reason to repeat the insult? 

Since when if fatty an insult ? 

What about fat then ?

The chap on the right looks about a yard taller than everyone else. Unless he's standing on a box?

If the cover gave way under 80kg of weight, I'm gonna pick that 90% of the people who come on here and laugh at her also would have broken it.

Yes, but not many of us would either A. Stand on a drain, or B. jump up and down on it in a Thai rant !

Careful. I once questioned the validity of a post and was suspended for questioning the wisdom of our unseen and unknown masters.

"Cos they work so  hard" ?

Years ago in a refugee camp in Loei, I had the floor of a bamboo outhouse collapse on me.  It was just a thin coating of cement over decaying bamboo.  Fortunately, I ended up sitting on my arse at the edge of the hole and my legs didn't reach the level of the crap. I only weighed about 53 kg.

yea the repeated insult is rich considering the English news writers come from countries where obesity is epidemic - lol 

Calling someone fat in Thailand is not an insult really. In fact it is often a compliment. Why else would so many people have the nickname (Uan) (fat).

 

Rooster

Probably be considered a LIGHT WEIGHT by American or British Standards.

I did that one day at work in the aftermath of a hurricane.  A very large co-worker lady offered to escort me to my car. Pretty funny.

The bakery gave her some puff pastry.
