Re: Global Warming 2
Strange how any one who has an opposing opinion is castigated. I read an article this week which indicated that a female tv presenter (slender/blond/yank) berated anyone who disagreed with "climate change" being due to human involvement while on air. I suppose that's one way of winning an ...

Re: Photo trip report: Penang and Langkawi, Malaysia
When I first visited LOS and Malaysia in the 70's both were on a par. Now Malaysia a good step ahead in all ways except for the post mahathir period where "masuk melayu" was the theme and anything western was to be viewed with suspicion. The last election on Penang saw a changing of the gu...

Re: Minivan and bus accidents
Passing on the left in a service.emergency stop lane, merging left without signalling, failing to stop at an accident, unsafe load and that's just for starters.

Re: Smuggling Rice to Thailand: Like Coals to Newcastle

China has canceled a deal to buy more than a million tons of rice from Thailand due to a probe into the beleaguered Thai government's subsidies for rice growers. Thai Commerce Minister N...

Re: Beware Russian ATM SCAM !!
There are also devices to detect those cards with RFID chips in them incl. exp dates . Sometimes a scrawled signature for those debit/credit cards will suffice for a 1 off scam.
