In Topic: Passing Of William Slape - Manager Of Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum

2012-05-14 16:02:56

I knew Bill and am very saddened to hear of his death.
His obvious commitment to the work he did here was total and infectious.
He has helped maintain and build a truly moving museum at Hellfire Pass.
I spoke with him not so long ago and he was trying to put me in contact with someone for Thai language lessons, his ability at which is something I am envious of:-)
Simply a good bloke. RIP mate.

If the parties were reversed I for one would be very surprised if it were possible for Birds Eye to buy a controlling influence of CP.

In reply to edwhinchester: How about being my business and nothing to do with governments. If they want to stop deaths on roads, stop the cause, don't make people wear helmets that we do very little to help.

Of course it's your own choice if you want to wear a helmet or not although there is the small matter of the law requiring you to wear one here aswell. And if you should be knocked down by some drunkard and not killed outright I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy living life in a vegetive state.

So wearing a hat is going to stop me being knocked off is it! The answer to stopping the carnage is not the wearing of a helmet.

Ask yourself this. Is an entire nation going to start driving responsibly overnight? Is the Royal Thai Police Force going to strictly enforce drink driving laws? Personally I suspect no on both counts. Will wearing a helmet give me added protection from death by head injury or the suffering of brain damage should a pissed up somchai knock me off my bike causing my head to impact the road? I believe yes and in my humble opinion is a sensible precaution in Thailand.
I am in no way denying you the right to ride helmetless but please make sure you have the insurance to pay for medical care because likely hood is somchai hasnt and please make sure you have caring family who'll look after you if you're permanantly disabled through head trauma.
