Born and bred, every bit African as a modern black American rightly calls themselves American.

Say Hello to: Pol Pot,....Saddam,....Papa Doc,.... Mao Zedong,.... Gadhaffi ..................

Im not holding up well lately, the car menace on BKK roads has begun to really bug me, the fact that Thai drivers totally ignore humans including there own countrymen trying to use zebra crossing.
Ive spoken a few words from under my breath, pointed to the crossings on a number of occasions, i often force the issue or i will never get across...even got the TGF doing it now.
Now ive noticed them parking there cars on the footpaths, motorbikes using the footpaths, stalls on the footpath..were the bloody hell are we meant to walk?
And another thing when they gonna fix the footpaths? its a minefield, i tripped over in Chiang Mai early this year hurt my knee enough that i could not kneel on it for 2 mths.
I suggested to the TGF that they should tax property owners like they do in AU for upkeep of public property, i also told her back home there is no way a shopping center would allow stalls to sprout up around it, and while im at it the police were busy keeping the freelancers away from there haunts today by interviewing both farangs and thai women in a few spots around nana today, what a waste of time, get your arses out to ladphrao and get them drivers off the footpath and fine who dont stop at zebra crossings.
ps the working girls were back on there beat by 5 pm when the police had knocked off for the day..what a waste of tax payer money..havent they got anything productive for them to do?

Seems like this discussion is like the shape of a tire, it just keeps going around and around and the baiting posts keep coming around and around.  

I think this discussion has ran it's shelf life and is now:

A filthy rich, corrupt, duplicitous, murdering, election rigging politician who says he cares only for his people.

Thank goodness that doesn't happen here.

And the pressures are.

there is a substantial difference between the DSG type gear boxes (a true clutchless manual car like what you find on a VW or Porsche which is engaging the gear above and below so you can manually change gears when you want and it goes straight into the next gear) and some of the paddle shifter 'manuals' which are more like an auto where you have some ability to select gears, but it makes changes in its own time using the 'brain' of the control unit.  many of the paddle shifter units are not the dual clutch system, some are.

The VW Golf 7 speed DSG is well worth a test drive, it supposedly outperforms a manual with clutch gear box in quite a few operations, although many purists still don't like it.

Another post using silly name calling has been removed as well as a reply.  Stop being so childish with the name calling and grow up.

Safe Max pressure printed on my tyre is 65psi.
I run it at 52psi, so now you are agreeing with me that I am good to go.
Nice for you to agree that I win the discussion, thanks.

What you are referring to is lawless freedom,that allows the drunk driver to pay his way out,and buy your way out of many other crimes too.

Nobody likes paying Parking Fees,but hey, is that one of the reasons to leave home?

Whilst I don't like the way men are being watched in case they are a Pedos,I accept,that at least someone is doing the necessary observation,if you are not a Pedo,you have nothing to fear,only a little injured pride,I can live with that, if it helps stop the Torture of innocent children.

And what's wrong with Security at School Gates,Remember the Nut cases (in the UK & USA) that gained access to schools and shot/slaughtered  kids and Teachers wholesale,a few years ago?

Ok. So you did not retire in the UK. Does this mean that you are employed in Thailand? If so what is your occupation? I too am financially secure, but I have limited confidence in the Thai medical system. There is no accountability and a foreign patient  hasn't clue if the hospital  he is checking into has a c.difficile infection crisis or if the ventilation ducts in a surgery are contaminated with mold.

The rest of us in the Us are very happy also that you are no longer there.

Thank you.

When the ambient temperature changes in Thailand can cause the tyre pressure of a parked car to alter by 4psi in a 24 hour cycle.
I would like to know how to keep my tyre pressure at a constant 29psi? and not 25psi or 33psi.

You might want to put some thought into what you just said.

A lot of people have dropped off the scene here. I suppose some of them tire of being bashed everytime they express their opinion. After all, if you were having a discussion in person with a group of people, would you stick around if someone continually put down your every comment? The trouble is, the people who do this are so unintelligent that they don't even realise how moronic they are being. Gawd only knows how they ever learned to use a computer...
