  1. What is wrong? The name complies with NSW Baby Naming Rules it may be ignorance on some peoples part, the parents included, to assume “Amphetamine” is an illegal drug, as in good ol’ Speed, SE Asian Yaba or Crystal Meth etc. But it is also used in many prescription drugs the most common being Adderall, a common drug prescribed for ADHD and Narcolepsy and as such is no different than naming a child Losartan (beta blockers) Rules, a stupid name admittedly, but not against the rules. What Kirsten Drysdale has done is neither a scientific experiment, talking to experts or putting her body on the line all in the name of answering some of life's most perplexing question, it is just being a narcissist moron TBH. Kirsten Drysdale a millennial (1984 easy to check) could have quite easy done an online search form NSW baby naming rules and found out the name did not breach them, you know just like I did, a boomer who the younger generations accuse of not being tech savvy. But no, rather than doing the sensible thing she heads off on a tangent to prove what was already know at the click of a button using her child along the way. I was surprised her producers allowed her to do such, then realised ABC Australia with its Woke agenda, well yes nothing surprise me. (Grumpy Old Man moment) In my day Social Services would have been right round her house and questioning her on child abuse, who puts a child through such in the name of “Journalism”
  2. Dapper little man in a suit goes into remote outback bar. A bunch of the big brawny locals are all wondering what he’s doing there. Is he a taxman, farm inspector, sheep welfare official or some other goverment nosy -parker. Finally one big lad goes up to him : ‘g’day cobber, you a tourist orwhat?’ Man: ‘No actually, I.m looking to move here’ ‘So what do you do?’ ‘Actually I’m a taxidermist ‘A F##kin WHAT ?’ ‘Oh, I like to stuff animals!’ Guy turns to his buddies ‘ Hey guys, it’s alright, He’s one of ours!
  3. LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis.* Lazic on the other hand is a common Serbian Family name *keratomileusis the surgical reshaping of the cornea, carried out in order to correct a refractive error.
  4. To counter dean comments, when I was in Vietnam, the wife and I were back and forth between Nam and Thailand 4-5 times a year, all flights booked direct with Vietnam Airlines, We didn’t change flights per ce but just purchased new tickets for different flights and got a refund on unused ticket. The refund was always back on my CC within a week and no fees.
  5. Got an email from my sister the other day and she was saying that she was pulled over for speeding last week. The cop asked for her license and registration. He said, “It says here, you need glasses to legally drive” she said “I have contacts" . He said, “I don't care who you know”, then when he saw her stunned face, he broke out laughing and said, “Just kidding, I always wanted to say that, it's your lucky day, you get off today “
  6. Does the etc include Waiing Bar Girls 😜. Circa 1998/99 I knew a Thai woman who was manageress of an Internet cafe in the Plaza next to the old Ambassador Hotel, was 2002 that burnt down, around same time as chuwit demolished Soi 10 beer bars, I digress. She spoke excellent English and composed many of the “Kwai Mai Sabai” begging emails or Sponsor emails for numerous bar girls who frequented the cafe. She charged a reasonable 10% Commission and using 2 or 3 generic emails was sending to multiple Farangs. Some gutless had over 10 sponsors hanging on at once, and my friend was banking over 100,000 THB per month in commission, this was 25 years back mind. Whats the old saying “ A fool and his money are soon parted” I’d like to know how the fool got his money in the first place.
  7. It wouldn’t be the same mate Madrid Bar is Closed Patpng Market is different Post- Covid I don’t drink anymore/ haven’t had a Drink in over 4 years Apart for Hospital / Immigration Visits haven’t been out in over 4 years.
  8. Well the alternatives don’t bear thinking about. I have always been a grumpy bastard, just more acceptable now the older I am getting
  9. Who are these Board Members who have discovered Eternal Youth? To the best of my knowledge we are all aging, although some just don’t want to admit it.
  10. MPIH Let me teach you the nuances of my native tongue of which you antipodeans speak a bastardised version of, bit not a bad as the Yanks. DiSTINCT Definite, Recognisable, Specific SPECIES Category, Group So the comment means that it is a Specific Category of Orange therefore it is an Orange
  11. A Mandarin is an Orange Doh
  12. If your account has been deactivated how are you a member of Thais Pointing at Things Group then?
  13. Send a Message via Facebook Messenger Ask “What is your email address” See quite simple
  14. I was thinking the same until yesterday morning when I saw him on the “online members list” for the first time in a couple of weeks. So still active just not posted recently.
  15. Even the “Thais Pointing at Things” group would not convince me to join Facebook Why on earth anyone would have their CC details linked to any website, let alone Facebook, is beyond me, even for iTunes I use a pre-paid debit card available online.
  16. I am old school, plus better pron on Tumble 555
  17. Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Capt Thamanat Prompow on Monday declared war on the smuggling of farm products into Thailand, which he says has driven down the price of locally made products. Smuggler Are they taking the piss or what? Tha Amat was convicted of smuggling Heroine to Australia, sentenced to 6 years and served 4. This guy should be nowhere near politics / government let alone “Declaring War on Smuggling” the irony is just too much Thamanat
  18. You will be OK, the offense is Plagiarism not Plagerism From the Latin Plagiarius meaning Kidnapper who used a Plaga meaning a Net to capture. It was modified to Plagiarism to mean to Kidnap or .steal words
  19. There is a page of “Thais Pointing at Things” on Tumblr Pointing
  20. Agree with what? it is a well known and proven fact that MFP won the most seats in the 2023 Election. Trump came Second in 2020 Election What am I supposedly agreeing with you on?
  21. The PM has just made another Faux Pas, when discussing the governments policy about “The South” which most people realise are the insurgence provinces of Narratiwat, Pattini and Yala responded, “I am concerned about the South I have even been to Phuket” Talk about out of touch, spoken like a true apartment salesman,
  22. Trump “Claiming” is all Bullshit the Dems won more votes end off. Making a claim is one thing, actually happening is another. In Thailand MFP DID win most votes, completely different situation. On a side parliament resumed yesterday and the government are being ripped to shreds by MFP Government Policy Starement The Dinosaurs have also complained that the new blood are using iPads and other Tablets instead of old fashioned pen and paper 555.
  23. But the US of A hasn’t had, and in some cases can’t with 2 party politics Winning Party not allowed to take Power A unelected Senate hand picked by outgoing government who chooses new leader Runner up party Teaming up with ex government and several other parties Runner up party going against its own manifesto Runner up party ignoring the electorate and getting into bed with the outgoing party all for one man etc Politicians not wanting to do what elected for is a minor inconvenience, how about Politicians not elected by the majority ot the electorate to Govern yet installed by unelected Senate on the basis that members of the outgoing party are given government roles, what I would call a Front Bencher in UK politics So when people say “This has happened in <Insert Country here>” I very much doubt that it has
