    Really? A "Hi-So" girl has no reason to do that. She already drives a Merc and lives in some penthouse apartment provided by her rich father.

    What you are referring to is a "Mia Noi", or "minor wife". They are mostly girls from the provinces trying to get an education that their rice farmer parents have no hope of providing.

    Right on, but maybe it is an Imperial Machine & doesn't deal out Metric ones.

    You shouldn't wash Land Rover parts and tools in the washing machine. You will be in big trouble if your Mrs finds out!

    I bought a powder coating kit for small parts. In the interests of domestic harmony do NOT use the kitchen oven to cure them.

    Why do we talk about a 'meteoric rise' when meteors only fall?

    I

    I guess that would depend on where one is viewing it from, ie. The next galaxy?


    If one is standing on one's head, would that make a difference to one's perspective?
