  1. These type of arguments along with can’t sea air, radio waves and a multitude of other things that can’t be seen exist, therefore god who can’t be seen also exists drive me mad. No, but the presence or effects of can been measures or seen by methods developed by science, and then (this is the best bit) “Well scientists refuse to look for / invent things for god” Roll eyes, shake head, shrug shoulders, mutter whatever and walk away
  2. Inferno bus owner ‘tried to hide illegal gas cylinders The owner of the bus that caught fire and killed 23 students and teachers in Pathum Thani tried to hide some gas cylinders on other buses in the same fleet, according to the Department of Land Transport. After the company failed to send five buses for inspection on Thursday as ordered, officials found them via GPS at a garage in Nakhon Ratchasima and seized them while their gas cylinders were being removed, said Jirut Wisanjit, director-general of the department.

  3. And the irony is that legalized election interference exists in the USA by means of the Three-fifths rule and the electoral college which is very much in republicans favour. if Republicans did get rid of electoral interference they wouldn’t be in power for another 20 years
  4. It’s like in the states, where would your 2.2 kids, a dog called Rover, white picket fence nuclear family make purchases, they’d just head to Best Buy (is it still open?) or it’s equivalent MBK / Fortune etc were fun in the past but there comes a time in your life when you just can’t be arsed with the hassle, am I getting old, maybe, but I like the simple things now. The Power Buy where we live is less than 1KM from home, when we had to replace the TV a couple of months back just went online and ordered it and it was delivered and installed within three hours all for the list price. Can’t beat that. I am beginning to start to doing just like my Dad did
  5. I took my wife to be tested for Tourette’s Syndrome, but the test came back negative. Turns out I am a cunt and she does want me to fuck off.
  6. Yes, handed himself in now. What is it with Thai Drivers and “ Fleeing the Scene”? This never seems to happen anywhere else
  7. Personally I wouldn’t fuck about with MBK / Fortune / Future Park etc and just head to the nearest Power Buy, reasonable prices, genuine items and a warranty which is worth the paper it is written on. Over the years I have purchased TV’s, Printers, Air Conditioning Unit etc from them Power Buy is part of the Central Group so their outlets are located in Central Stores Samsung at Power Buy
  8. Questions are now being asked should NGV be used for school buses
  9. Ten kindergarten students tragically lost their lives, and many others were injured,after a fire broke out on a coach during a school field trip outside Zeer Rangsit mall on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Pathum Thani province, near Bangkok. The blaze, which erupted on the coach at around 12.20pm today, October 1, was reported by the Facebook page Fire & Rescue Thailand. The ill-fated bus was carrying enthusiastic students from Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School in the central province of Uthai Thani, aged between four and five years old. The group was en route to a highly anticipated field trip when disaster struck. Of the 42 teachers and pupils on board, only 19 managed to escape the inferno in time. Firefighters from the Hongskul Khlong Luang 21 Rescue Foundation swiftly closed the road and battled the fierce flames. Although the blaze has now been brought under control, rescuers have yet to inspect the interior of the bus for safety reasons. Full Story For certain German readers I would like to point out that this was a regular coach and not a luxury coach since I realise basic English is difficult for him to comprehend. I would also wish to point out that Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School is a regular school and that Hongskul Khlong Luang 21 Rescue Foundation is a regular rescue foundation
  10. And if having imaginary friends isn’t bad enough, some countries go to war over it.
  11. Buy one of these and allow her to fuck about to her hearts content leaving you free to do more important things like watching Ozzy Man Reviews Videos
  12. Well, to write something down you do have to exist . I am not saying that Jesus or Yeshua didn’t exist it was a very common name at the time in the area, or that he wasn’t crucified, since crucifixion was a common form of execution at the time. So a man with a common name executed by a common method I can accept, what I can’t accept is all the unverifiable bullshit surround this character such as Virgin Birth, Son of God, Resurrection and you know the score. The reason why some bloke called Jesus who was crucified by the Roman’s didn’t write anything down since he couldn’t read and write and he wasn’t important. If he was the son of God, you would have at least expected that god would have given his the ability to read and write, and told him “Son, keep a Diary to stop arguments in 2,000 years time”
  13. But that is only a suggestion, someone making more shit up about made up Shit, The Goat Herders Guide to the Galaxy does not specify the number of wise men, it’s just self important assholes adding their 2 Cents worth .
  14. Another misdemeanor, the Bible makes no mention of Three wise men, only wise men from the East. Who is to say that there were only two, one bringing Gold and the other the fragrances Frankincense and Myrrh, or maybe there were 12 of them and only three brought gifts and the others were cheap Charlie’s. Matthew 12 if you want to look it up, no I am not Theist, I have actually read the Bible cover to cover
  15. Trumps parents weren’t immigrants, neither was his wife, immigrants are only brown in the eyes of the Fascist Republicans Also Melania was an illegal immigrant. Working as a model on a tourist visa, but the orange one never mentions that, who was somehow fast tracked for an “Einstein Visa” The EB-1A Visa is an employment-based immigrant visa category that serves top-performing experts. Historically, it has been an immigration pathway for luminaries in the sciences, arts, education, business, and athletics, Christ knows what Melania’s skill set was, but I don’t see blowing the future president on that list. Melania Visa
  16. Nothing surprises me with this Nazi loving mafioso lot hiding under the guise of religion
  17. So sorry, I didn’t realise that in the English an adjective had to be applied to modify a noun when it is standard. if describing a girl you may say the FAT girl or the SLIM girl but I would not say the AVERAGE girl because one would assume that the listener / reader was intelligent enough to realise that without an adjective saying fat or thin then it meant regular. Similarly, say someone asked what you ate at a restaurant, you may say “I had a great Steak” or “I had a crap steak” what you wouldn’t say was “I had an average Steak”. Maybe the rules in German are slightly different, but after speaking English for 60 years, the first couple gargled mind, I am pretty sure that I have got the hang of the grammar rules and don’t need some johnny foreigner telling me how to use my own language, or maybe I gave you too much credit and over assumed your intelligence. In my corporate staff days, I used to fill in expenses forms and they had titles such as “Expenses Reimbursement Form”, “Expenses Claim Form” or “Expenses Report” not once did I see a form titles “Regular Expense Report” or similar NOTE The Johnny Foreigner punt etc and other slight digs are meant in good humour, I should not have to add this disclaimer but I know how sometimes our Teutonic cousins take thinks to heart, must be all of that German efficiency we are told about
  18. Gik is a Friend with Benefits / Fuck Buddy of the opposite sex, nothing to do with your ongoing love in with bust
  19. But I didn’t say Basic expense though did I? I said monthly expenses, not basic expenses, since part of monthly expenses then can include what some people may deem as a luxury . And €4.62 is hardly what I would call a luxury, probably around the same as a glass of wine in a bar or a cheap 1 Litre bottle at home
  20. I thought that was an alternative spelling of gik to begin with
  21. Bust Fuck Off 😀 That was so bad I actually did groan before I sniggered
  22. No, he was just being a prick, he seems very adapt at it
  23. And how did you know it would be me? You have never met me and we barely post on the same threads yet somehow you have this preconceived idea that I am khi neow whereas, as anyone who know me will tell you, in fact the complete opposite. I did not say “I live off 50,00THB out of necessity, as you are inferring, but, “I am currently living off 50,000THB per month”, there is a difference. Even though it is none of your business, I will explain why. Five years ago I suffered complete organ failure and was in a coma for 3 months, the hospital literally sent me home to die. I refused to and after 3 years being bed bound, slowly became more active and mobile again to a point I am at today where I am able to live a normal life at home, but still have a problem walking more than 100 Metres or so, so still need a wheelchair. As such, our (my wife and I) current monthly expenditure (excluding medical bills) is around 50,000THB per month, not because we are penny pinching or on a budget, but because that is what it is. In the UK the average take home salary is £2,300 per month, in London approx 54% goes on housing cost, let’s say £1,150 which leaves £1,150 per month. You do know want 50,000THB is in GBP don’t you? At today’s exchange rate it is £1,138. So, I spend less than £12 per month than your average London resident Things are a lot cheaper here, Netflix 169 / month, Internet 490 / month, True Vision for Sport 375 / month, mobile phone 590 / month and so on. In UK Netflix is £10.99 or 485THB, Sky Sport is £56 or 2,,450 and so on. So I have the same disposable income as the average Londoner, my bills are a lot less, yet you say it is being tight fisted, go give your head a wobble So when I say that I am content sitting on my balcony with a cup of coffee, doing bits and bobs online, as I am now,, that’s what ii mean, I am contented and happy to still be alive . Could I afford to spend more money? Sure but why if I am happy with what I have, no point in spending money unnecessarily. As for JW Marriott, I would much prefer Sunday brunch at the Marriott resort, but since I have stopped drinking the unlimited wine would be wasted on me.
