My EV easily does 300+ miles on a charge. Insurance is ...

I know it’s boring to repeat myself, but EVs are garbage. The market for them has fallen off a cliff in the UK. Expensive to buy (unless you buy a Chinese sh*tbox), massive depreciation, high maintenance costs, high insurance, minimal range, fire risks when charging, excessive weight, battery degrad...

Surely this is just someone’s sense of humour? The first one was Saturday March 31st 2007 and has since become a worldwide phenomenon. "Earth Hour has grown to become the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, bringing together individuals, communities, businesses, organizati...

Well, there are these two sisters who work at a bar on Soi88…

Sorry, am referring to Morning Bread in th above post

My favorite is Morning Bread opposite G Hua Hin Hotel on Soi 94. They bake their own fresh bread, and open at 7.00. But this morning I had a buffet breakfast at G Hua Hin, they just started to offer it. I have had buffets in all major hotels in Hua Hin, and G is the cheapest, under 500, and has goo...

It's less efficient by a factor of at least three and requires someone to build a huge hydrogen production and distribution network. And batteries are less than 20% as efficient as ICE. Tha...

Though the vaccinations undoubtedly saved many, particularly those with underlying conditions, the 'forced' vaccinations of the young and healthy (lose job without vax, can't participate in normal society without vax, kids can't study without vax) will no doubt prove more and more controversial as ...

The Wimbledon bus immolation is another nail in the coffin for EVs and their apologists.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Booked my flights for my next visit last Wednesday. Can’t wait…

As I see it, this Gov't are intent on spending cash they don't have: 1. Free holiday insurance. 2. 10,000฿ handouts. 3. Wants a bigger minimum wage rise. 4. Electricity subsidies for the poor. 5. Extension of fuel subsidies. Should I go on? I don't think the the Gov't can carry on like this indefin...
