I think we all can relate to this. Live life like it's your last day etc etc. Unless you experience an unplanned visit to intensive care, tomorrow you'll just carry on as usual... wasting time. Time is the greatest gift we have. It's not just an untimely demise we need to be
Just heard that an old Birmingham nightclubbing friend from the 1980s has died of a heart attack. He was 57. When I get terrible news like this, it always makes me question why I give the future a single nanosecond of worry. RIP William. You were a terrific guy.

There have been a few stories recently of Cobra snake attacks. Most expats in Thailand have encountered a Cobra at some time. Here's something most expats don't realise... a Cobra bite can kill you in 30 minutes or less.
Grandma was in shock as her grandson called to say "I love you" before saying he was bitten by a cobra and died on the phone. ​At 9:00 AM on October 23, 2025, Pol. Lt. Col. Thanakorn Rattanawilai, Deputy Investigator at Bang Sao Thong Police Station, Samut Prakan, along with a

The new Central Krabi will be opened on Friday, by Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul. The roads outside will be closed (no times given) and the diversion along some very rural roads. Maybe Friday won't be a good time to visit.

It’s been a full seven days. My opponent @McAuliff4VA has not uttered a word to condemn Jay Jones. He has, however, scrubbed these photos with some help from Suhas Subramanyam, in hopes that you wouldn’t see them. If John McAuliff lacks the moral clarity to condemn calling for

Hoo Fckin Ray! The worst rainy season for years is finally coming to an end. Need a cold, dry snap now to get into some serious camping. The list is prepped and ready.
The Meteorological Department confirmed on Monday that Thailand has entered the final stage of the rainy season and the transitional period into winter, as a cold air mass from China begins to move over the upper part of the country. #General

This incident doesn't sit well with the company they work for, and at least one of them has now been fired.

A truly tragic story, my condolences to the family. A pickup parked close to the rear of a waiting ambulance and refused to move, thus preventing an emergency patient being loaded for transfer to another hospital. The patient later died. Would the outcome have been any

Central Krabi. The wraps are off, and the wall is down. Now we can see how it will look. If you saw the construction site a few months ago, it's amazing how they've got this far so quickly. Looking at the place last night, it will be equally amazing if they can complete

Emotions are not problems, they are lessons waiting to be learned. This simple chart shows how we can move past toxic emotions into playful enjoyment of the present moment. Each level has 3 emotions, a psychological need that causes them, the impulse that arises from the

It's that time of the year again, the major update for Windows 11. This year's update is 25H2. Some are dreading it, others claim it's faster. I'm running Windows 11 pro, with all the AI stuff removed. How did the upgrade go? Including downloading, it was done in less than five

The X creator monetization program certainly needs some work. At the moment, it just encourages clickbait garbage and stolen content.
🚨#BREAKING: An X executive has reportedly suggested that the platform may discontinue its creator monetization program claiming the initiative has ultimately caused more harm than benefit to the platform and its community.

If you remember John Candy, this is an excellent watch. Hard to believe he died 31 years ago.

And to round things off, here's a rather nice Chevy pickup. Wonderful...there's something about American cars from the fifties and sixties.

#Krabi Bike Week finished last night. Always a lot of fun and a great crowd. Big showing from Malaysia. Miss the days when Carabao used to rock the place, though. Now, not so many custom-built bikes, either.

Recently, BBC News went live on X, but instead of a news event, viewers found themselves watching East Enders, a flagship BBC soap drama. Totally unrestricted, anyone from anywhere in the world could watch. As a British expat, I would like to watch BBC TV sometimes, but due to
Scratching my head tonight. @BBCNews is supposedly editorially independent to BBC and a PSB funded by the licence fee. But every day I have to read their self promoted news about BBC entertainment shows given headlines. There is more important news than Strictly.. #licencefee

The car is indeed a Rover P6. The TC stands for 'Twin Carbs'. They were quick, so made good police cars. The P6 featured a lot of intuitive design, including a large engine bay capable of accommodating Rover's gas turbine engine. Although a prototype was made, it never saw
