Just found out about the Diptheria outbreak today from my wife. She said they were doing free immunization in the village medical center so I got my booster done. The doctor advised that there 3 people reported dead from Udon area.

Hi again,

Its funny that after I posted both Prenders88 and Parrot both logged on to FB with no problem. I play a game through FB and they all thought I had left our alliance because my base and depos all changed to another color while this FB drama was happening lol.

Hi JimboLV

I use Chrome already and did all the rebooting of modem and Comp but to no avail. Went to bed grumpy lol

Woke up and all is well. FB access again and therefore access to War Commander.

Was down for 5 hours before hitting the sack.

Its OK now.

Thanks
Kevro

Thanks Parrot,

Thats strange as I get the error message stating a site issue and that it should be available in a few minutes lol. Been getting the message for near on 4 hours. Have re-booted pc so I might do same with modem. Thamks again Parrot.

Or is it just me lol

Hi
Anyone having trouble connecting to Facebook. Been down for nearly 3 hours yet message just says try again in a few minutes.

They can always use the vertical runway they built with money for a horizontal runway!!!!

Trubrit We were at the Rongrian Thepnasorn (the school mentioned having a show in the initial post) for the school show on Saturday night. On leaving at around 9.45pm we had to make our way through several gangs of youths facing off in the car park outside the school, none belonging to the school I ...

The traffic lights there have always been an accident waiting to happen. If waiting to cross the road and you get a green light and you proceed straight away you take your life in your own hands. I have sat there and watched half a dozen cars blast through the intersection under a red light as the g...

Geez your lucky Tamada, Got caught at the usual road blocks going to Nong Khai. Showed my license and was told it had expired and told me at was 200 baht fine. Then another cop started jumping around all excited and pointing out that my brother in laws car was out of registration, 1000Baht. They for...

Thanks for the confirmation guys. I was a bit worried at the time that it might have been our neighbour who is a tuk tuk driver based at the intersection but have since seen him and another we see around the place. These sugar cane trucks and there drivers are a menace on the roads. I have personall...

Hi, I am hearing that there was an accident today at the Nong Wua Sor traffic lights on the Udon to Nong Bua Lumphu road. Surprisingly a sugar cane truck was involved and possibly a tuk tuk. Apparently the truck was a mess and unconfirmed report that the tuk tuk driver was killed. Can anyone confirm...

I learn something everyday. I 'googled' the internet and was surprised just how many different species of Cobra there are. I was also surprised that an individual Cobra doesn't spit as others do. I just keep away from all snakes as I probably wouldn't know the difference between a grass snake or an...

Here's another good site.

Maybe I need to change title to "Close call with a Cobra" as it could be one of the 3 types found all over Thailand with a fourth type only found down south.

Thanks slotmh The Monocled Cobra is a nasty piece of work and more venomous than an individual Cobra. The Malayan pit viper is way up there on the snakes to avoid also as its the one most likely to bite. Won't move out of the way or make itself known like a Cobra, just bites. I went back to the rubb...

Hi Guys, I'm sure the snake was sending out a warning by hissing and it certainly worked. Not sure if it was as scared as I was though. The pet Mongoose for protection sounds like a good idea except the brother in laws would be drooling at the thought of Mongoose for dinner. They have done it before...

Hi Parrot I reckon 2 or 3 steps more and I would have been bitten (and maybe history) as I was walking straight down the tree line but looking to the left to inspect the trees. I was wearing nothing but the Adda open shoes at the time so no protection. I had heard earlier about a neighbour who was w...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has had any dealings with a Cobra. I myself was just out checking our rubber trees from ground level to about 3 meters for any new growths when I noticed some movement on the extreme edge of my peripheral vision. I stopped and looked and there was a cobra around 2 t...

Joe says to Paddy: "Close your curtains the next time you're making love to your wife. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday." Paddy says: "Well the joke's on them stupid bastards because I wasn't even at home yesterday." Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing nak...

Hi again,

Just got back from our Rubber farm and re-read the post I made in the dark this morning. All over the place with that one as I was in a hurry to get to farm before it gets to hot. Apologies for that but you probably get the gist of what I was on about.
