Re: E-books and e-book readers

Anna's Archive has got really fussy, I've gone back to Z-library. I love Z Library. They appear to have every single book I could ever hope to read. Just finished the latest Jack Reacher. Staring on the latest Jason Bourne book. Well, it’s Treadstone, anyways. Agree with what you say - I do not kno...

All I have seen is that each packet is 3in1 coffee with milk and sugar. No thank you I do not want sugar

Re: The Beer Thread 2

I have also tried it and it is the best lager beer taste I know - but I do like English draught beer - I strongly recommend a trial and cannot understand why I have not seen any promotion ads!!

Re: Thailand general election fundamentally flawed: Human Rights Watch

^It's a mad outcome but probably a pragmatic solution under the present system as there is a case against MFP being investigated by the Election Commission under article 112. The most likely result of that is that any MFP led government wouldn't last more than a couple of months. They should have j...

Re: Thailand general election fundamentally flawed: Human Rights Watch

Well Pita didn't make it because the senate voted against. Huge numbers already gathering in BKK. I doubt there will be peaceful protests. It's more likely to be riots! Where is your evidence of "huge numbers gathering in BKK. ? I have not seen it and also your mention of likely riots is not v...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

It was well reported on this site in around April that we were into El Nino conditions in this part of the world and that this year would be very much drier than the last two years. So don't be too surprised - we have seen it before!
