Oped, Postbag, Published on 11/12/2024
» Well done to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) for the excellent resurfacing of many roads in the Suan Luang area by using tarmac to eliminate all the recently installed red pedestrian crossings, white road markings and lane dividers.

» I have been reprimanded by a reader of ginger persuasion for failing to mention two significant days in the calendar for those of us who have grown up saddled with nicknames like "Ginger Nut", "Ginger Bonce", "Tomato Head", "Carrot Top", not to mention "Freckle Face". I plead guilty to allowing the recent "Cuddle a Ginger Day" and "World Redhead Day" slip by without a single bleat in support of gingers.
