The wife got stopped in the local town yesterday for going through a red light.

Her excuse?

Sorry officer, I was on the phone. Doh! Got booked for that too!

Luckily she managed to bargain the fine down to B400 at the local police station.

^^ There must be something going on at the moment Troy, the wife has just called me to say she opened our post (some still goes to a past address) and she has a fine to pay for jumping a red light. She's well pissy about it... maybe because I was driving. But let's face it, who really pays the fine?

The car's registered in her name, as she wanted, so that's how things work out and what's the phrase... 'it's your fukkin fault, darling'.

I believe she may also be getting points on her license? Is that the new thing now? Oh dear.

Well, if she helped out with the school runs through her awful city's traffic, then she could obey the traffic lights and keep a clean license.


And by the way, not related, but it's UK Mothering Day tomorrow so if you have just found out (as have I) then get onto an online florist, rapido!

Please god, bring 'peel here' stickers to the foxers who tax booze in Thailand.

[Mendip]

^^ I'm glad to have been of assistance.

This is what a forum should be all about.

Solving problems and doing good around the world. I will now go to bed happy in the knowledge that I've made some small difference and that Ms Dingle Senior will have a beautiful bouquet of flowers to enjoy with freshness guaranteed for the next five days!

The airport is absolutely rammed with Ramadanners.

^ Been told that to be safe you need to get to the airport 4 hours before your flight....

Miss that like a hole in the head.

I have to lug my tired ass all the way to the government land office just to sign a form that says it's nothing to do with me.

Once it's all done, go back to get a usufruct, which means you're stamped on the chanote (title deeds) as the person that controls the house and land, as well as the ownership of it, until you die. Got one for a place we have in the north a few months ago and it cost something like 75 baht. It gives you full rights of everything, no matter what, until you pass on.

For the sake of 75 baht, could be worth it 30 years down the line when people may start to pass on etc and there's some young punk with succession issues or what not.

The puppy ate my spectacles. She can reach much higher than I thought. I went out for the morning stroll and came back to find specs on the driveway, temple tips chewed off, lenses deeply scratched.
Went to the local optician (not a well-known, overpriced chain) and after negotiating we agreed on Baht 12K for a replacement pair, that aren't as good as the originals.
On the plus side, I never knew they were called temple tips, I learn something every day.

I'd imagine that would greatly shorten your lifespan in Thailand

Not everyone gets involved with a plastic-enhanced Buriram-ese working in Pattaya that requires a set monthly payment.

[Reg Dingle]

Boot you out, did she?
How you getting on at your sisters place in Phuket?

Don't bus driver's need to be able to read?

But it's quite nice, I've bought meself worse New Year presents. We've decided to not go back to the north until it's possible to breath again.

So I've another month to think of a further excuse to stay here.
