OldChinaHam Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I don't know why it is, but even after a country becomes more or less developed, even in the city, there are still plenty of those who continue to raise roosters causing havoc with ones sleep in the morning. And Thai roosters like most others don't tell time really well so they begin at 4 and end at about 10 and are always really loud. These things make very poor neighbors in the city. IF you live in Thailand, then you might know something about this subject. And I am just wondering if anyone else is plagued by this rooster problem?

OldChinaHam Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 China bird flu causes feather shortage for shuttlecock industry Maybe, we might be able to send some of our roosters to China? To relieve the shortage up there. Who would miss 'em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChinaHam Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 The perpetrators? An advert for the Guardian's centenary issue in 1921 The Manchester Guardian was founded by John Edward Taylor in 1821, and was first published on May 5 of that year. The paper's intention was the promotion of the liberal interest in the aftermath of the Peterloo Massacre and the growing campaign to repeal the Corn Laws that flourished in Manchester during this period. The Guardian was published weekly until 1836 when it was published on Wednesday and Saturday becoming a daily in 1855, when the abolition of Stamp Duty on newspapers permitted a subsequent reduction in cover price (to 2d) allowed the paper to be published daily. The Guardian achieved national and international recognition under the editorship of CP Scott, who held the post for 57 years from 1872. Scott bought the paper in 1907 following the death of Taylor's son, and pledged that the principles laid down in the founder's will would be upheld by retaining the independence of the newspaper. CP Scott outlined those principals in amuch-quoted article written to celebrate the centenary of the paper: "Comment is free, but facts are sacred... The voice of opponents no less than that of friends has a right to be heard." After retiring from an active role in managing and editing the paper, Scott passed control to his two sons, John Russell Scott as manager and Edward Taylor Scott as editor. Realising that the future independence of the paper would be jeopardised in the event of the death of one or the other, the two sons made an agreement that in the event of either's death, one would buy the other's share. CP Scott died in 1932 and was followed only four months later by Edward, so sole ownership fell to JR Scott. Faced with the potential of crippling death duties and the predatory interest of competitors,..... BLAH, BLAH, ETC, ETC, why bore you?

OldChinaHam Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 "Notice the BIG Ears on this guy?" And you people at TV wonder Why some people have such a hard time Having their visas processed to a good outcome. I am surprised that Thailand even lets these guys with big ears into the immigration offices and consular offices and embassies In the first place.

Sydebolle Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The rooster in our neighbourhood must have hatched on Pitcairn Island as he starts anything between 7 pm and 11 pm; sometimes just around midnight (most likely he had forgotten to start earlier).Give a time different of -15 hours it matches!

HerbalEd Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Don't you just love it when a foreigner complains about the different culture he chooses to live with? If complaining actually did some good, then great. But the lesson I keep getting taught by Thai Buddhism ... taught but still haven't fully learned to do ... is "Don't worry about what you can't change." It's like getting angry and upset because it's raining during your holiday. Edited May 10, 2013 by HerbalEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like getting angry and upset because it's raining during your holiday. I would move before thinking the Thai culture was wrong and going to Thai Visa to solve it. But as long as I am here. Does any one know of a way I can get more money without doing any thing for it. It would just appear in my Bank Account automatically every month and because I didn't do any thing to get it I would not be able to explain it.
