Oh, well...it's a 'Yes' vote. The landlady is happy as larry. She's a wise old bird, but I don't think for one moment that she knew what she was voting for. She really hated Taksin, and I guess the amended bits of the 1997 constitution won't really affect her. There was also a big meeting in the vil...

Talking to both students and (allegedly) educated Ajarns, the general reply is that most of them haven't even read the new constitution. They have no idea how it differs from the old one. Their parents will tell them whether to put a cross or a tick. They're not voting for or against the constitutio...

Good topic GLC: As a legally working farang here - nothing has changed for my husband and I since Toxin decided to be a bigwig in the UK football scene. While he was in power he increased charges for renewing our Non-Imm B Visas (which we have to pay). Wonderful! We're needed here to educate the stu...

It's put me ten years younger than I actually am, which I feel is about accurate. I'm going to pop my clogs at 85 according to the test. I'm OK with that. Don't really want the brain being willing, but the body too weak. Mind you, if I give up the ciggies I could probably add a few years to that, bu...

Off topic slightly, can anyone tell me why a farang pushing a trolley filled to overflowing with chicken carcasses, dry dog food & rice is entertainment in Tesco? It's getting very embarrassing. :oops: I think I'm going to have to start doing what celebrities do & ask them to open early or ...

I'm sure you can find someone to do the kissy bit Pagey - enjoy! :) I was totally off track, thank you Lomuamart. The Royal Garden Village was a truely beautiful place to stay. Got a cheap deal from the UK, at that time it was about 300 quid for a week (incl. a flight and B & B). Those were the ...

"Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day." I certainly appreciate, and love, a finely honed male-voiced choir - but you lot sounded more like rugby fans - on the way home... Seen the weather reports - bad news f...

Let's not get carried away here. I've had accounts with the Thai Military Bank for over ten years, and not one penny (baht) has been removed from my account. Whenever you withdraw money from an ATM you get a receipt telling you how much money you have in your account, you can also just request a sta...

Think it was the Royal Garden Resort before. I don't think it's the Royal Garden Resort, because I stayed there in 1996, and it's north of Hua Hin. It's now another hotel, and for the life of me I can't remember what it's called. A flash of something: Anantara? But it's not what 2theD is looking fo...

Another picnic - what fun! DM: I'll ignore your comment about my fine county. I will, however, remind you that we probably saved you during WWII - but that's another story (you were obviously too young to appreciate it). I'll lay off the bolly this time, and just soak up the sun on K's wonderful bla...

The strong black seems to have done the trick, and I'm raring to go again. Thank you DM for putting my mind at rest about the blurry bits. Mr.C. I would have loved to have been a hippy, but arrived too late. :( I've been thumbing through the 2007 County Edition of the MC Rules, not really difficult ...

Goodness me, I have a glass or two of Bolly, a little snooze and find myself in Gospel Oak - how they heck did I get there? I do apologise if some of you had to sling me over your shoulder, but the picnic and the sunshine just got to me. I must have suffered sunstroke or something. I have vague memo...

Pete: It really is heart-breaking to read of such things. The Buddhist precepts are very close to Christian ones; take care of each other, help people, etc., etc. But how many people here, and in the West actually adhere to those principles. In the West there are organisations and support groups to ...

Hmm...Bradders and DM in suspenders...now that would be worth a video.

OK: Denis Healy's First Law of Holes: When in you're in one, stop digging. I have no idea what the Second Law is.

Mr. Comfortable, Thank you for the kind invitation to a picnic in Epping, hugely looking forward to it. I can't find 12 boring people to bring, so I'll just come along in my summer frock. Cucumber sandwiches please (with the crusts cut off), and a bottle or two of bolly. I'd like to point out that D...
