Some reports of Anaconda eating something like a pig in South America suggest a nap of a month or more. What was the width of the shedded skin?

"no tourist arriving in Khrungthep shall enter a conflict with a Thai taxi driver once this subject confiscates the paper and puts it in his pocket . neither would any average tourist proceed with wasting his holiday time trying to win a war with a Thai taxi driver over maybe 150 Baht surcharge , in case tourist realises that he paid too much , by ringing the tourist police or whomever ." Precisely - tourist knows he's being scammed, but evaluates the time, effort and stress of combatting this scam, against some small dollars and decides to succumb to scam, for the sake of equanimity. Taxi driver, knows from experience, that 95% of Farang morons pay much higher taxi prices in their home country and will usually cave, when confronted with a fare that is small in comparison with that paid in Farangland. This means profit increase for Taxi drive, sometimes very big. Result: Tourist thinks most Thai people are scum sucking con artists, who will rip off anyone and smile all the way to the bank. Tourist knows there are good ones out there, but will struggle to find them, eventually writing off the increased cost of the holiday, due to paying Farang prices, as unavoidable because every Thai they meet rips them off. Taxi driver thinks 95% of Farangs are morons. Tourist Industry organisations lie about how wonderful every thing in Thailand is. Politicians when confronted, are desperate to save face, not admitting failings in Thai character, instead shifting focus to Farangs being unable to understand Thainess, a common trait of morons. Cynical internet posters write scathing, or attempt to write scathing, missives about these goings on.

You coulda videoed it and facewittered it?

Got rid of pervey ghosts in my house, but didn't get my stolen property back after a robbery, impermanence of physical possessions and all...

pet = free snake food

Well I suppose they could go all "McCarthy" on lady boys, that'd keep Fox News occupied for a long time...

Australians have spellings?

"No rats, no mice, no snake to be seen," Snake eats rats and mice/gets fully belly/has to shed skin because full up now/goes and has sleep for a month.

I don't know about evidence, others may be able to point to that, but the scam involved guaranteed prices, high volumes bought, middle men profiting and bigger men profiting . Or none of this is true, but vast sums of money are missing from the process, according to most people.

Aren't they one and the same? Oh wait, sarcasm detected...

T'was a play on old McDonald's farm

Well technically her older brother was conducting the orchestra, but as lead violin, Yingie is the focus of the blame at the moment.

Snakes shed skin when they grow, they grow a new skin under the old one which gets too tight. So if the snake grows slowly you might not see skins for a while, more skins, bigger snake quicker. Very rarely do they live in groups, so it's likely to be one. Why not let it alone? it's eating your rats.

F**ked if I know...

A very rational explanation.

It'd be a short war, the prey, after all, are politicians...

So, she had all that work done, eyes widened, skin whitened, expensive brown contacts, costing mega baht, and no one cares? No one noticed? If she'd been at a 7/11 in Bkk everyone woulda fallen over backwards in the glow of her fame and glory, why is it that no one knows who the Thai 'celebs' are outside of Thailand and the People's Glorious Republic of Idiocy?

I thought it meant it was a 399 Bath Hostel, as in 399 rooms with bath.

The days of Internet Explorer are numbered as software giant Microsoft confirms it's killing off the web browser. It's thought Internet Explorer's reputation for being slow and clunky has finally convinced the company to put an end to its 20-year reign. Although its speed has been improved in recent years Microsoft said there were "negative perceptions that no longer reflect reality" and it will introduce a faster, rebranded browser which was codenamed Project Spartan. Some older versions of Windows 10 will have Internet Explorer built in but the company said it would slowly move users over to the new one. Microsoft marketing manager Chris Capossela said the new browser didn't have a name yet and research was going into what to call it. http://www.stuff.co....ternet-explorer "and it will introduce a faster, rebranded browser which was codenamed Project Spartan." I wonder if it's based on the same code...

Woof!

Got this in the flood-mail this morning, it may be of some help to those on a budget.
