  1. Until they have electric charging stations more common than 711's here, then this whole EV thing is doomed to failure
  2. Be fair, I think there is far more of a link of people graduating from weed to hard drugs than there is from people upgrading from beer to hard drugs, though I can accept a link from alcohol to weed. I do not consider alcohol or wee a hard drug
  3. I have absolutely no idea if they will reach this target, but one thing I will say is that if they do want to achieve this figure they seriously need to sort out the immigration officials checking you into the country at entry immigration. It took me 10 minutes to get through last week, even though I have a retirement stamp until the end of May. The guy was totally confused, started rubbing his forehead, counting on his fingers, then he got the calculator out and then promptly stamped me valid stay until MAY 25 ! An entire year after I was valid for. I gave it back to him and pointed again at the date on my stamp and told him it was wrong, more forehead rubbing, more finger counting , more calculator. The crowd behind me were getting annoyed, you could see the frustration they all had after their own 12 hour flights ! So, May 2025 scrubbed out, and new correct date added. I am not saying the guy was either thick or an idiot, it could well have been a training issue, but if this is the sort of quality of officers, then the people will be lining up back to their planes at 40 million !
  4. Whilst I may like the idea of intelligent life out there, I am somewhat of the opinion that we may actually be the most intelligent species out there. My reasoning would be that the only life out there that could be seen as ultra intelligent would be one that would have had to have survived any initial 'big bang' (my own opinion is the big bang being and exploding black hole). If we assume that ALL life starts the same with water, heat , etc and it all follows the same live of amoeba, fish, reptile, dinosaur/mammal, etc then there may well be many many planets out there that have huge amounts of wildlife but no intelligent species. Humans evolved supposedly to the most intelligent life mainly I suspect due to the deaths of the dinosaurs via meteorite hit , etc. So unless an event like this happed that mirrored our own planet.................. If, there is life out there that we could communicate with it would probably be reptile in origin and we may well find ourselves at war with them as they would view us as food, in the same way that KFC would accidentally start an intersteller war if the intelligent life out their is chicken descended
  5. Excellent, the more undemocratic the place becomes the stronger reasons my wife has for a UK asylum claim to get round immigration fees !
  6. Complete hogwash and profiteering - my return flight today is £400 more than it was prior to covid. Pure theft. Shame BA is not flying direct to atleast give the appearance of competition. They will be pricing themselves out of the market - family of 4 return flights to the UK for a holiday now is near £4,000 before you even step foot on thai soil
  7. Up tomorrow new TAT Chinese tourist push - purchase a 3 for 2 probably
  8. 30th March ? So basically reduced after all the chinese have gone home LOL
  9. Probably more due to Thais being unable to prioritise their debt and money coming in. Pay the mortgage or new phone and tv ?
  10. Wow !! Who'da thought if you raised your prices 60% and there was little competition you would take go into profit ! I'm quite sure if BA were still flying direct to BKK their profits would be down more on the UK flights !
  11. Had like 30 minutes of 'good' rain in Pattaya ALL year.............and that probably just dried up
  12. Maybe they should ask how many thais are working illegally and not paying tax in Korea as opposed to koreans working in thailand illegally ?
  13. Hmm, intense heat ,a need to save water and they extend songkran , country run by idiots
