  1. As a pal of mine used to always tell me 'defrag your hard disk'.....I used to say OK, thanks for that while thinking 'it is only 45% used you thick twat'.... I find the board response time slow often but pages are loading okay.
  2. Any impact on traffic at the busy Thrappaya/Threppasit junction and the Thrappaya/Jomtiem 2nd lights? I hate these things as they are often located centrally and make getting around an absolute nightmare.
  3. I bet it is a lot of fun for the residents! Where exactly is it, on that patch of spare land? I have a friend living in one of the buildings and will ask him if there is any impact.
  4. In the UK we were taught a chant as kids at school, (at the road stop, look right and look left etc) but it was later sensibly modified to include keep looking both ways all the way across. The big issue, as I discovered last night nearly being hit by 3 idiot Arabs on a bike is undertaking. It seems completely brainless to me not to consider why that car in-front may well be stopped and blindly whiz up its inside. It will be a long time before this bad driving and selfish attitude is improved.
  5. I only commented as it is familiar face and I thought I must have seen him around town and couldn't remember where.
  6. When I had a daft moment and stumped up for 1st class I think there were just 3 of us in there from Manchester, a few more from and to Doha. Not much of a 1st Class crowd from Manchester I guess. Biz was doing okay, I think there were a lot of recently retired doing their trip of a lifetime or visiting relatives down under. Got to adapt to the market, as I have to adapt to my finances!
  7. This guy has been in the news before, his face is familiar. Yeah, the storey is a year old.
  8. An auction, a good example of someone wanting to pay more and spoiling it for another!!
  9. Roger Daltrey
  10. Old habits die hard, mostly avoided paying by CC as there was always a 2-3% surcharge due to currency change, but more importantly was worried by the possibility of CC fraud, which used to be rampant in Eastern countries.
  11. Oliver Reed
  12. Now that would be a dangerous job!
  13. Coincidentally I was reading similar to this on Thai Visa. More often than not a relatively small fine and maybe a short driving suspension is what I see for causing death by dangerous driving. (I think I read 5000 baht fine and 3 month suspended!). There was also a 50 year old woman recently killed crossing North Rd pushing a bicycle. This video is horrifying and I think British tourists are in danger especially, because they hold Zebra crossings in high regard.

  15. Schindler's List

  17. Some heavy rain this afternoon, is it the season's swan song?

      Forgot to say during the drenching we had Sunday afternoon on Nov 08

  18. Home Alone

  20. My very thought as I read the OP. Used to be they were stuck up on walls, or a list was supplied (not much use to me in the darkness). Quite the mystery these days........
  21. I put a protective glove on too, or use a small towel when I grab a tookay, I once spent a painful 10 minutes trying to get one of the bastards off me as it took a good biting grip on the web between my thumb and forefinger.
  22. Yeah, I keep a pop up toaster covered when not in use! I guess you have night-lights, they attract insects and geckos, at 6pm they pop out from their hiding places to set up for their night shift by the light.
  23. I am tone deaf, I get served up with 8 ducks and a big green hill when I ask for something spicy with sticky rice.
  24. American Gangster.
  25. I am pretty sure it was 3 years for this one underpass, and then I expect more of the same elsewhere. Thread started at the beginning of February 2015, and at that time construction was 'well under-way'. I think we are well on schedule for a late finish!
