  1. I read an article once and have searched for it. It was about Hong Kong refusing UK 'recycling' materials, because the UK operators were not separating the material correctly and were including plastics hidden inside batches of cardboard. China subsequently banned British (and other?) recycling trash. But the better part of the article explained the scam that was British recycling and the legal 'rules' that abetted the fraud. I'll keep searching for it.
  2. The fact is that the Palestinians don't want to leave as refugees. They would not be allowed by Israel to return and their land would be stolen.
  3. Can't you ever agree with anything? He never claimed it was a real nurse.
  4. You reap what you sow. Fretting about rises in antisemitism when Israel is murdering innocent Palestinians by the thousand rings hollow to me. If Israel stops murdering women and children maybe antisemitic incidents will fall. Reading the shameful report above, makes me ask the question of how an antisemitic incident is defined? Maybe it is defined as criticising the slaughter by Israelis. It is crystal clear to me that while Israel might win the battle, they are finally losing the war for hearts and minds around the globe. And that can only be a good thing.
  5. I am under the impression that if trips are taken within Thailand then. TM 30 is not required. My wife checked this with the I/Os there and we have always operated on that basis without problems.
  6. I'm heart broken. I thought he was clean, although I did wonder how he managed to have all those houses in Bangkok on a cop's salary. Another one bites the dust....I suppose someone really clever will remind me that he's innocent until proven guilty....but still we still have out thoughts and as a realist, I have to say, he's probably guilty as hell. But off they throw the book at him, will they throw the book at the ones who actually ran the schemes....the 8 senior policemen. Nah I think they'll let those guys off with a 200 baht fine.
  7. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/21/barely-10-per-cent-of-europeans-believe-ukraine-can-defeat-russia-poll Link tells the story, you can read in full in the Guardian (which is not a reliable source in my opinion), but they are reporting on an independent piece of research from a reliable source, and the results of the the poll jive with what one might expect.
  8. Very stupid to call anyone who disagree with slaughter of innocents as 'Israel/Jew haters'. I disagree with the slaughter and wish it would stop, end off story. I cannot understand tpeople who try to justify it, especially those that take the easy route, avoid arguing the morals and call everyone who disagrees with the Jew Haters.
  9. I think the answer is no, no one has changed their minds. People like me, who are revolted by the slaughter of innocents are not persuaded by arguments that attempt to justify the slaughter who argue that Israel is right every time it comments an atrocity. It's like tow football fans arguing, neither win change their support for their team because of the other's arguments.
  10. Or American back to the Indians and Australia back too the aborigines
  11. Get a non-O visa based on retirement and you don't need insurance.
  12. Sorry the two genders is grounded in fact, and is not a religious dogma. The contrived genders are not genders at all except in the minds of the deluded. Sorry.
  13. Khan and his ilk are a menace to decent people. reasonable people who believe their own experience and senses and who know there are one;y two real genders and that contrived genders are not genders at all.
  14. I disagree, Russia is in the right and was provoked severely by the west. They have conducted the war in the the most moral fashion, scrupulously observing the rules of war and minimising civilian casualties (in marked contrast to Israel's tactics in Gaza which are designed to maximise civilian deaths), whilst Ukraine have resorted to terrorism against civilians, not that I blame them in this asymmetric contest where they are outgunned. Putin, although you may not like him, is a humanitarian and a gentleman whereas Ukraine shoots down a plane that it has been informed is full of named exchange POWs.
  15. !5 years pumping hard water (presumably) is not a bad life. The pump doesn't owe you anything, but beware the new pump you buy will probably be inferior to the old one and not last nearly as long.
  16. Ahhhh didummms....you poor wickle fing. You must spend all day on AN?......23000 posts that's roughly 10 posts a day for 8 years every day. For what it's worth, seeing as how you went to the trouble of posting but don't care....I think you should be a super-extra-golden star member for giving up your whole life to AN.
  17. Yeah, nice....should have let her take her kit off.
  18. Totally agree....Thai Airways are idiots, but who knows what extra benefits the directors received for buying Boeing? No wonder Thai went bankrupt with all the corruption. Why didn't they buy decent quality planes from Airbus?
  19. Read the article, Thai are purchasing 787 dreamliners not 757s.
  20. Cancel these certificates. From personal experience, I know that Bangkok hi-sos came and fenced in thousands of acres of Pak Chong ion the 70s when the Pot Koh Sor was introduced. Most didn't farm but grew banana trees and stuff to give the appearance of farming and held onto the land to try to change its designation via bribery to chanote. I tried to buy a 55 rai lot, so I do know about this because extensive discussion with the land owner (thief). I also know and had a much discussion with an owner of 500 rai that was fenced in run as a farm and miraculously became chanote.
  21. I simply do not believe a word the US government says any more. Supporting a Palestinian state? Yes while vetoing a UN humanitarian resolution to have a cease fire. Watch what the US do and believe that. The words they utter have no bias in truth.
  22. Serves him right, well done girl. You sold your body for 10,000 baht, pretty decent price in my view.
  23. Shameful US vetoes for a this time a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by Algeria.
