What BS. Making that road one way is just asking for problems and serious accidents.

Easier to create a temporary problem and fix it, than fix real problems?

 

Or maybe it's a test run for Bukhao, which may or may not be an actual problem.

 

 

Most definitely, Buakhao is a problem.

Except without being able to have good discussion with your partner how can you even begin to think of them as your closest friend?  
Surely you were incredibly close friends before you got married?

One of the best things about my Russian GF, aside from being slim and beautiful, is that she's very well educated and speaks perfect English.  We have great conversations about all sorts of things, politics, global warming, crypto, whatever is in the news that interests us.  

 

 

None of my partners have ever been my 'closest friend', 'soul mate' or any of that b0llox.

Maybe.  I'm just not a fan of the typical retired, divorced, working class blokes.  I much prefer people who came from a better background.
 

 

 

You need to learn that the background is largely irrelevant; it is where/what you finish up as that counts.

A colleague went to do his extension at Jomtien last week, correct paperwork more than enough funds in the bank for the required time. IO looked at his bank book picked an ‘anomaly’ out in it and said can’t do it, you used an agent the last time, go back to agent.

 

 

What 'anomaly' ?

Hopefully the OP has read all the comments and is already winging his way to BKK to submit his passport renewal application!  There is still time.

 

I am surprised that no has berated the OP for his tardiness with the passport renewal.

 

That should have been at the forefront of his mind since approval of the previous extension.

I could care less, or I couldn't care less about Trumps defense. I find it fascinating that all this hatred is directed towards one man. After everything that's being thrown at Trump, his stress level must be crazy high and yet, he's still marching towards the White House.

Veteran is just a job title, it doesn't bring any additional entitlements.

 

The people you describe are not entitled to any of that.

So she waited until she got home, before sending him a message asking about the 'Sexual assault' Sounds like something she and her boyfriend cooked up on the way home.

I suppose her and her boyfriend have never had sex, and she is as pure as the driven snow. 

By the way that tat makes you look like a real innocent little virgin init. 

Sorry but I don't belief a word of it. 

Should I bring a complaint against a massage lady who I think touched my balls?

 

 

"think" touched your balls ? 

 

Surely you would know.

If I believe my GP (and I do believe my GP) when I asked him about taking amlodipine and cialis,  said that the two drugs worked in totally different ways - and did not conflict with each other.

 

The Cialis sends blood to the penis, blood pressure tablets are a calcium channel blocker.

Add me to that. I got 11k back. Just needed a police report from Pattaya police, took everything to the government insurance on Sukhumvit just past Naklua - walked out with a cheque 20 mins later.
