They may well be taking care of the sheep, but there is at least one young idiot there that is damn lucky he did not get my walking stick wrapped around his head. One of the horses used for riding would not do as he demanded, mainly because of the way he was going about it. He then wacked it over th...

The wife heard/read on the Thai news that on Tuesday a PTT station in the middle of Rayong city filled their diesel tank with E85. :shock: Apparently 100+ cars filled up before it was discovered. I would imagine that those 100+ drove about 2km and then stalled out. That area of Sukhumvit highway an...

What the diagram doesn't show is after Petrol you would have AF or Aviation Fuel with a higher octaine value. Not sure just what aeroplanes you fly kendo, but the fuel used in piston engined aircraft is usually referred to as "avgas". It is just "petrol" with after refining addi...

I just drove back from the north via some secondary roads, although some of them were 4 lane highways. Right smack in the middle of a small village on a 2 lane road a pickup truck had hit Christ only knows what, as I did not see another vehicle. The cab on the drivers side was completely flattened b...

Thank you Mags, but I was quite aware of the Japanese occupation. It's the allied attacks that have come as the surprise. I will watch that BBC4 documentary later today. I guess this should have a thread of its own, but as others have wandered off: Last week I took my Granddaughter to see the follo...

I am sure they will have them here:

...........................mosquitoes are not as far as I know although that odd stupid one may fly into it by accident.

They are Thai mosquitoes, no problem.

The one I have is called a "Black Hole" and works for mosquitoes. Bought from Home Pro several years ago.

Any recommendations, please? I have not used him myself, but one of the pool contractors uses him. Last shop in the block of shophouse in front of Index Mall, heading in to town on Petchkasem Rd. He shares the shop with an automotive guy, so there may be some cars or trucks parked in front of it. :...

Obamas`medical checkup for a Russian visa:

This has been going on for the past week. Although it is some distance from where I am, we can smell the smoke in the evening as the wind swings around to the south. In fact, it woke me up a few nights ago at 3-00 am, even with the room closed and the air con on. But a typical example of what goes o...

Spend some of that house sale proceeds on a new air con, mate. You are being robbed!

Anybody know what the cost of a genuine Windows 8.1 is?
Quoted anything from 3,000 Baht up to 5,400 Baht yesterday in Bangkok.

Is anyone currently suffering from hay fever or some other kind of nasal allergy? I ask as I don't have a history of it but these past two weeks have been murder for me, and I don't think it's a normal cold. Are we in some kind of flora transition period? Pete :cheers: I thought it was just me and ...

Another Thai invention! Note the spelling difference:
