  1. But worth it!
  2. So good you posted it twice!
  3. Sounds like it could be made into a song!
  4. Sometimes you have to go 300 yards to find one.....
  5. Sad case. I last did criminal law a long time ago, but in England, mens rea, or intention, is required to prove murder. Appalling though the behaviour of this woman was, unless she deliberately drove at the children, it would not be murder. We do not have degrees of murder. But In England the situation is worse, in one sense, since there is a specific offence of causing death by dangerous driving. The maximum penalty is less than for manslaughter, manslaughter is unlimited. Drivers are always prosecuted for the offence of causing death by dangerous diving. I never understood why. For reasons which are unclear, therefore, drivers who kill usually get a fairly low sentence.
  6. I'm not sure that the Thai pm will murder Thaksin!
  7. I assume the PM is totally unconcerned about taking advice from a convicted criminal!
  8. In accordance with your deserved reputation as a philanthropist!
  9. Sounds great. Enjoy her to the hilt, so to speak! I arrive on the 6th, I hope I have similar luck!
  10. I agree about the MRT station ticket staff. I have also found them very good.
  11. Good point! And correct, so far as the Subway is concerned. Sex underneath the train would be more challenging!
  12. My guide in Siem Reap said that about 30% of the population are illiterate. Mind you the cou try has had 30 years of civil war, but even so.
  13. See other pist about threat to LP, from dam over Mekong.
  14. Looks like a useful improvement. If it works!
  15. Same happening in Cambodia, Tonle Sap. Up to 2 million people facing the loss of their livelihood, as lake shrinks, due to reduced level of Mekong!
  16. I bet they are good on social media!
  17. I agree it's bad law making. In the UK, the government is apt to pass laws they think will get them votes, without thinking of the consequences. For example, in a sop to the anti immigrant lobby, all transit passengers arriving in the UK, will need an electronic permit, even though they are merely changing planes, and do not go through passport control. Heathrow pax are 35 % transit, and the airport is saying this is just a gift to Amsterdam, etc. The government made vague comments about securing our borders!
  18. Best to wear rubber soled shoes then! And rubber gloves, dual purpose!
  19. Without touching the overhead wire?
  20. No, and I get quite a lot of offers.
  21. I noticed that with Edge. It applied to other, similar, sites. I changed my browser.
  22. My guide told me there are still many areas around there that are still too dangerous to visit due to landmines, etc.
  23. It was just that you said they were a rare sight.
  24. At either end of Bar Street in SR, there are two bands playing, badly, Cambodian music. They are all amputees of one sort or another.
