Re: Quiz: Are you older than you thought?

What you use to beat carpets until they're dead. Long before fitted carpets, you'd lift the carpet and hang it over your washing line outside. Then you'd smack it repeatedly with your carpet beater to get the dust out. I remember them being used. Often you couldn't see the 'beater' for dust. Now you...

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

Since lockdown, I haven't really missed alcohol. I've got plenty of booze in the house but I've had two glasses since we were 'bubbled'. Not a bad thing I'm sure. What I do miss is the company ....... AWAY from the family!

Re: Quiz: Are you older than you thought?

I'm obviously past my prime but younger ones are catching me up.

I remember when my sister was half my age and now she's more than 4/5ths my age. So obviously I've slowed down and she's catching me up..... I love maths!!

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

Ignore my last. Never believe what comes out of someone's mouth without checking it out. The facts are: 1 was opening up for a clean. Another had 'handymen' in and has done some work in the bar and changed the name. And yet another is hosting a 'food cart' so gets away with it as she's selling food....

Re: Quiz: Are you older than you thought?

I got 48. God I'm old. I even recognise some from Granny's house when I was a kid.

In contrast, my 30 year old daughter struggled to get half of them.

My money's on BB getting 50/50.

Quiz: Are you older than you thought?

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

Well there are 3 local bars that are open. I won't mention names, but one in particular, a very large bar, wouldn't open unless he believed he could.
I may visit later and see what's what.

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

I've just been informed that several bars are fully open today. Certainly my local bars are open.

Has something changed?

Re: Coronavirus (Covid-19) News

Thanks for that, BB. I must have missed it. I'd read that they'd approved Sinovac for over 60's as well as under. Probably from some little tin god who didn't have the authority to issue statements.

Re: Buying online from Lazada

And I'm getting just the opposite. Ordered a new TV and Lazada themselves called on Saturday apologising for the delay in delivery which according to the advert should have been delivered between Thursday - Saturday. They promised delivery today, which they did, but even gave me the option on Saturd...

Re: Coronavirus (Covid-19) News

One thing that came out of that. After receiving data from the UK regarding the efficacy of AZ vaccine against the Indian strain was very encouraging as it's planned to use the AZ vaccine as it's PRIMARY vaccine.

I hope we're duly informed when they 'run out' of Sinovac and switch to AZ.

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19

And of course he's showing that he's been vaccinated with the AZ vaccine. Looking at the comments from Thais, one says "Well done Prayut. So you can travel through Europe whilst all the rest of us can only visit China! if and when we ever get vaccinated!"

What a dumb ass!
