  1. Gentlemen, I wish to let the world know that a situation like we are facing it now has not been seen ever before during my lifetime. A 20 feet container from China cost abour 10.000 US recently ( now dropping ) against maybe 1500 US under previous circumstances. Door to door from China traditionally took about 6 weeks and is now nothing but a lottery. It is even worse at the USA west coast. They keep the ships waiting in the Channel for weeks because nobody can unload them in Hamburg. The price of a tomato doubled since last year, same goes for almost all grocery. Popular cheese from France is not available and the seller has no idea when it comes again. Even the most ordinary car spareparts are on backorder til nobody knows when. A friend who flies for Lufthanse says they could fly a lot more if they could find people to load/unload the planes. If you want to buy a car you will most likely be sent away with a kick in your ass unless it one of the expensive ones. I ordered a Volkswagen van in December and they do not tell me when we get it. I offered to accept any engine including nuclear power or charcoal carburettor, no chance. All this has been the same before the Ukraine war began, I wonder what we are heading for.
  2. Although it takes time and patience. They don´t just pick up something and repeat it.
  3. FOUND IT !!!! After consulting the lovely Pam again she recommended I should bloody leave her in peace with my bird and switch on Google Thai bird voices which I did and there he comes : The Common Asian Koel !!
  4. Sir, further research makes me think this is not the bird I am after. The one you mention is a black animal that can speak after proper training. Which makes me tell the following story: Once upon a time they had two of these birds on the holy ground of the Oriental Hotel living in a cage of generous dimension. They spoke the words Happy birthday or Good morning to anybody passing by. A man from England who used to spend the whole European winter at the hotel invested an hour each day to widen the language ability of the birds by teaching them Fuck off you arsehole. It took some time and plenty of food til they got the message. Soon they moved them away but due to strong protest of many guests they had to bring them back, a compromise was found by creating a discreet but easily accessible position close to the Author´s Lounge. May they rest in piece, they should long be dead. My bird is a different one.
  5. I often hear this bird when I have breakfast deep in Soi 8 or by the river. It makes a noise similar a cuckoo. Reason for my research is that on another forum I wish to explain the crowd that I dislike having a super breakfast on the 16th floor of a fancy hotel and prefer sitting at the road somewhere and whenever I hear this bird I feel happy. It triggers something unknown deep inside the Bubi-soul. Last week I had an enormous tecnical breakthrough by finally being able to operate whatsapp and since then plague everybody I know with lots of electrifying news and photos. I shall now approach the lovely Pam to send me a picture of the mysterious bird. I keep you posted.
  6. Gentlemen, question in between. I want to find out the name of a a bird which is fairly frequent even downtown BKK once there are some trees . Asking Mrs Pam over the phone it sounds like no kiang . What could that be?
  7. 55555 , that is what they are living from. They probably rather refuse access if you are on your own. I once accompanied a guy upstairs who had 3 ladyboys in tow.
  8. Holy Lord, I remember the event taking place like about 100 years ago. I am quite familiar with Soi 11 these days but cannot identify any venue, we were at an upper floor somewhere.
  9. Gentlemen, there we are. Due to the now fully established Brexit and revitalised former glory I did initially plan to embark on armed Eastindiaman" Stickman of Christchurch " from Southampton calling Zanzibar, Bombay and Madras bound for Rangoon carrying 200 tons of English industrial products in exchange for fine Burma silk, precious spices and ivory. All sailings seem to have postponed indefinitely so I chose a plane. Currently I am in process of analysing the urban facilities and find some beloved places disappeared in total or have been downgraded into another useless snooker bar. Now this becomes serious and I am asking for your advice, knowing there should be some learned American gentlemen between us. Talking about the lovely Pam who is in process of marrying a guy from USA, which is an idea I fully support if you believe it or not. We had some sort of business dealings working over time and she has taken care of this while I could not come here since December 2019. Not one satang has been stolen or otherwise disappeared I would like to add. Now there seems to be a fiancee visa in the making and the man among other income lives on an army pension which , and that is the question , according to Pam shall be paid to the widow once the Lord calls Monsieur´s earthly existance quits. It that the truth, gentlemen, or do conditions apply? Question No.1, there might come more.
  10. I have to apologize thinking Tonga belongs to NZ. Stickman might have Maori relatives. " There was no doubt also that Germans were highly regarded by Tongan royalty " I have always thought so. Their King weighs a ton.
  11. My grand-grand- father fought for Kaiser Wilhelm around Tonga. After thorough research of this list I identify myself as Tangata ira tane/whakatane ( nonbinary ) with two dicks . Do I have access to the NZ social support system?
  12. Coss I thought you might like that :
  13. Mekong, just came across this. Makes me feel guilty no joke. The man I cheated died maybe 40 years ago , what a nice person he was but now there is nothing I could do about it . Really did make me feel bad whenever it came on my mind. As it does now I may say. Some things you have done are simply unforgivable.
  14. To comment the Too Expensive I would have to gain more knowledge before I start any drivel. Although the "Too" expensive already means taking a point of view, others may say anything avoiding pollution can not be too expensive per se. I do not share this opinion. I certainly disagree with the Don´t Work. No question they don´t if there is no wind. Like there is no boomboom at HoneyBee Massage if no staff present. But in the long run the windmills do their job, more and more are under construction and within a few years there should be appropriate batteries available. In the end they produce electricity which means they work.
  15. Mekong as you know I hate to find myself in opposition to yourself but above all the truth has to be defended : https://www.eurecum-gmbh.de/windenergieanlagen-recycling/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr5PEu7Xy9gIVlvhRCh0I9wyzEAAYASABEgIfSPD_BwE In German but the pictures tell it all. " As for Concrete, even a small (2Mw) Windmill uses 30,000 Tonne of Concrete per Base/Tower, will all of these be dug up and disposed of when Windmill is decommissioned. they can’t be reused" Almost all of it is reused after rebuilding roads, bridges, buildings etc. It replaces gravel although cannot be used for building again because quality is too low due to improved standards. Disclaimer: I do not support windmills due to their ugly design. But there will be many of them in future.
  16. Gentlemen, as one of the genius´dedicated followers I may present today Donald´s latest thinking concerning windwills. The great part starts at 00.36, enjoy:
  17. If I would be Mrs Biden , I would always postion myself behind my husband with a hidden hardwood rolling pin and knock him on his head in case he is talking to the public and does stop reading from the teleprompter.
  18. There is more to this, listen carefully: " the “Big Day” <is> (April 19th) " , the following 20th is my birthday, on April the 21st I shall leave for the Kingdom, arriving on the 22nd. Who would still believe in coincidence, Mekong what do you think?
  19. I just wanted to mention that there is still a possibility for criminal charges, manslaughter or whatever, quoting a guy from the university. Which was my fucking point. You, dear Sir, suffer from a version of persecution complex which is getting worse. Calm your mind, quoting Buddha.
  20. " He stressed that the university’s disciplinary action is separate from any criminal penalties that might be imposed. So far, 32 students are facing various charges arising from the event."
  21. I did not have to ask the dentist because a signpost in the waiting area said that according local regulation himself and all staff have to test themselves on daily basis. I am awfully sorry Mekong that you again did have to type a load of shit and it has again be useless. Get a life man, you seem to suffer from something.
