Last week, some prick nicked me license plates.


An hour down at the Motor Transport place.


In the end I was asked to cough up a bit over BHT 1,000 ... stolen or not, you still have to pay

Yep, reported to the Police, can do that over the phone (I'm in the West ATM).

We are in a relatively Hi-So neighbourhood and, despite being fairly tight-knit (we know each other), bit of a magnet for thieves.

Lucky for you that you can can use Thai currency in Australia, David.

Lucky for you

Nev ... I heard it's one of your favourite refrains.

Nev should be so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
Nev should be so lucky in love

Sorted

Yeah, it'll be a burglary, then a petrol station drive-off or two. And it's probably the same colour and model as yours.....though perhaps not.

Maybe it's some tight-arse, man of low morals, trying to get out of paying speeding fines.

711, ten packs candy, laid them out in two neat rows of five, cashier has to scan each one before bagging.

Not all doom and gloom, Thai guy behind catches my eye and shrugs.

Six weeks into this work trip and been given another three weeks, so left early yesterday to get me hair sorted out.

My needs are simple, but this is Norway... The cheapest I could find was a Polish place at 200 NOK (£18) for about 10 minutes work.

It wasn't the cost that got me moaning - and I could have got 10 Isaan haircuts for that price (15 pre-Brexit), with a shoulder massage to boot if I allowed it.

When she finished, she asked if I wanted me eyebrows trimmed!

That hurt. Where ever did all those years go.

[Dillinger]

I had my eyebrows and ears trimmed yesterday

^ You still peeing your pants after going to the bathroom?

[AntRobertson]

Our cat got fucked up because he went missing for a month roaming and rooting and fighting so after B10,000 in vets bills (again) we got him snipped to stop it but need to keep an eye on him for a while which means I need to take him for walks on a leash.

It's demeaning for the both of us.

In the local Thai style ?

[Dillinger]

You still peeing your pants after going to the bathroom?

The odd 50 pence piece. Tend to steer clear of chinos nowadays.

It'll come to you young Lu now you've hit 40.

Are you shaving inside your nose yet?

[Mendip]

^ Wait until you hit fifty...

It's more like a 50 Baht note than a 50 pence piece!

Dark absorbent jeans are the way to go.

[Dillinger]

[Luigi]

now you've hit 40.

Oh puhlease. That doesn't happen until next decade!





About 2 weeks into it. :/

It's depressing when you are reading an academic article, in this case one by Paulo Freire and one of your first thoughts is 'Oh, my school would have fired him!".

WTFarrrrkkkk?

The wife is going back to Thailand today - that's good news.

She's leaving the farking dog...

I'll have to get up every morning to take him for walks, so he doesn't bark and upset the neighbours all day; come home from work and walk him again; difficult to take him to bars and pubs which is my main past time when the wife is away; just eats into my personal time, the little fuker...

[Luigi]

Stick him on the porch with 'Free Breakfast' written on the door.



"E must have ran away Luv"

[Bettyboo]

^ that's cruel.

But, I may pay a family who will love him to take him for 2 months...

[Shutree]

Fog lights. On cars. When there is no fog. Which, around here, there never is.

"Look at me! I have all the options. Even fog lights, which are totally unnecessary except for blinding my fellow road users."

I am sure that, if these people could actually read, their manuals would tell them how to turn off their foglights.

It's amazing how confident some Thais can be even when their incompetence in on full display. Oblivious to their incompetence no doubt.

I suspect that the notion of Greng Jai is in the offing....

It's tempting to say it's something to do with face - keep calm and carry on even if they haven't a clue - but I think that often they believe they can do it and really don't know any better.
