Bad enough we've got APEC and Obama in November, but these hysterical assholes are blocking off all of Manila's roads tomorrow for a dry run. They do sooooooo much want to be seen as players.

[Pragmatic]

These fooking idiots couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery. They just cannot construct roads properly. Contrary to a couple of posters that see no wrong with them.
Every year certain roads around where I live need repairing in the same place as previous repairs. They won't dig out the soft spots and back-fill with stone prior to compaction and tarmacking. If done correctly it's life expectancy should be about 10 years. Currently a repair is re-repaired every 6 months. No quality control.
Here is a road which was in need of repair 6 months ago.




It was repaired and below it is how it is 6 months later. This is only part of the picture as I wanted to show how Thais indicate dangerous potholes. They tie a plastic bag to a stick and then stick it in the hole. Fcuk knows how you're supposed to see it at night.

[Gazza]

Build a good solid road that lasts 10 years and nobody makes money for 10 years.
Build a crap shoddy road and certain people get to make money every 6 months maintaining it.

25 minutes post accident the ambulance arrived and I was relieved of my involvement. I looked over to the car that was involved and the driver was just sitting talking to other as if nothing had happened. Are they callous fookers or what?

I actually do think a significant proportion of the Thai have evolved from a deviant branch of the Home Sapiens tree and are not actually human in the sense we civilised folk are.

I should imagine the errant driver was probably hoping the victim was dead, thus mitigating any likely loss from expensive hospital bills. If he was stranger then the spectators wouldn't give a toss. Most Thai, like many Asians, have no empathy for the suffering of others not personally connected to them. One of the many reasons why I detest the little fuckers.

^ I once worked out that roughly 16,000 years have elapsed since Thais and Caucasians were genetically intertwined.

Er....I can't recall exactly : you are currently living in Thailand, aren't you ? Perhaps in Pattaya you are only encountering those Thais who are jaded from contact with Eurotrash ? Even on the outskirts of Bangkok, I found most Thais to be lovely people.



My daily moan : just returned from giving the wife her second driving lesson here in Oz. Hopefully I'll stop twitching soon....




Can't help but remember BettyBoo's litany of wifely dents in their car.

That study seems to parallel the carnal relations in my marriage...

I finally decided to get the brand new lawnmower out of the shed due to the lawn being 3 feet tall.

I fired it up and the smoke was un-fer-fukkin-belivable!!!

A quick check and I soon realised that the numpty salesman in the shop had almost filled the oil tank to the top instead of the 15 mm that was supposed to be showing on the dipstick.

Oil was spluttering out of the exhaust all over the car port sand wash and tiles. Luckily for me, the mongrels who did the sand wash and tiling fukked it up and I am about to get it replaced.


BASTARDS !!!!!!!!!

[Kurgen]

I've had a sore throat and been coughing up fried eggs since being engulfed in oily smoke.....BASTARD !!!!

[beerlaodrinker]

Rule number 1 never take anything for granted or assume it will be OK as per your lawnmower, want it done right got to do it yourself. Took my eye of the ball today and nearly got a full tank of gasoline, my car runs on diesel, faaark!

[Dillinger]

^Ive done that, then it only hit me what I'd done when the car started spluttering a mile down the road. A friend of mine had a pick up truck and towed me home.
He then got underneath it, pulled some pipe off, emptied the whole of the tank on the road and nearly blew up the street.

I can give you his number if you like, he's quite cheap

It's official, Gert's jeans don't fit her anymore 25 " waist to small.
Got to buy 28" waist today she getting stressed saying she getting fat.

[Pragmatic]

Don't you mean 27"? Women's waist sizes measurements come in odd numbers ie 25-27-29. Whereas men's are measured in even numbers ie 32-34-36. Not a lot of people know that.

[klong toey]

^Well that's a relief 27" she's not as fat as she thought.

Cuz it's not true. Just looked and my jeans are 33. And they're not ladies jeans.....

[misskit]

^^ Don't be so relieved! I think Pragmatic is misleading you. Women's clothing comes in two cuts. Odd numbers (Junior) for younger, less curvy women and even numbers (Misses) for older with more curves.

[klong toey]

In H&M now can buy even sizes for women been here half an hour I've had enough off to the pub.

33? Are you ill? Or is that your thigh measurement?
Grief, I haven't been able to get into 33 inch Levis for over 15 years.

Incidentally, the British retail trade generally only stocks even measurements on grounds of costs but most other markets do it by the inch increment.

Yep. Me too. I've got jeans in three different waist sizes: 32, 33 and 34.

Incidentally, the British retail trade generally only stocks even measurements on grounds of costs but most other markets do it by the inch increment.

That could be the reason. I bought my 33 inch waist jeans in Thailand.

[Sumbitch]

I bought my 33 inch waist jeans in Thailand.

Good grief, I weigh 83.7 kg (184.5 lbs) in shoes, am a little over 6 ft (183 cm) tall and have bought XXL (super extra large) shorts, etc., in LOS that feel tight. I haven't measured my waist in a while but it's got to be 34-36 at the most.

[somtamslap]

I've snapped the bathroom light cord. It is now permanently on.


Which is a shame.
