Why not release the ages of the people dying, I think that has a lot of relevance on this disease, i.e. one size does not fit all.

 

We hear of how many people get infected, but not how many have recovered, i.e. there are two sides to the coin, why are we only being shown one side, all the time ?

Because people who recovered are able to carry on with a life. The ones who die have done so through no fault of their own and have left behind families. That is the only numbers that matter.

Before these Muppets came along the only Q I knew was in Star Trek ???? 

Don't forget Q in James Bond films.

Another major bust acting on a tip off !  Why can't they find drug dealers by themselves ? Less than 10 grams of drugs, but still more than in the tons of Ketamine in the warehouse bust !

There is no mention of him having a knife or any weapon. So you are just presuming without knowing the facts, If he did have a knife then it would be OK to shoot him if you think he is going to cut you.  I train in weapon fighting and when knives are involved then there is no second guessing. Its kill or be killed.  The trouble with police forces is that they are not trained to shoot with any precision, only body shots, which will normally kill.

I am surprised he hasn't opened the US borders to everybody from everywhere !  

What about the disappearing giant catfish ?  Even the local fishermen don't see them any more

Why have so many of them used the excuse that they have a mental illness to try to escape prosecution ?  If they really do have mental issues then they should have stayed at home, not go out to a riot.  And where were all the security ? Just a few cops. You would have thought that there would be trained professionals guarding the place. Maybe there were at one time but Trumpy got rid of them !

At this point it might be simpler and less expensive to just start a new airline, I mean the THAI brand is not exactly a shining bit of smooth silk anymore.

 

Pay off the debtors with some cash, and stock in the new airline.

 

 

Greta idea !  The problem is paying off the debtors. A 380 pilot friend of mine told me how much it costs for a plane to fly in stay overnight and fly out again. You would be amazed how expensive it is. Thai must owe millions of dollars to airports and all the companies that make, what we take for granted, actually happen smoothly. I was amazed how many companies are involved in the whole process e.g. food, cleaning, fuel, loading and unloading, security, maintenance and inspections, ticketing, and the list goes on, many that you would never guess.  Thai have also planned on stopping dirct flights to Perth. Thats us screwed !  This route makes money !

So what will the unarmed guards be carrying ? A biro ?  A pencil ? as used to kill in John Wick films ! A mobile phone ?  A belt ?  All weapons in the hands of a trained fighter. But really, guns would be the best thing.

Motorbike taxis are a great way of spreading the virus. Everybody uses them. Many thousands of trips every day.

if they are vaccinated they should be allowed in!

Why ?? Have you got proof that all the vaccines being used will stop a person carrying the virus and passing it on ?  Of course not !!   You are talking <deleted> !  No company has proven that yet.  Cos that is the problem every country is facing.

What annoys me is that people can still fly all over the world from the UK !  We are getting them here in Perth, which is almost the safest city in the world. They should stop all International passenger flights from UK. Or is that just too obvious.

Is there is a leak after the meter for it to register, then it's not the responsibility of the PWA, but the householder.

And how big a leak would you need to get a bill of B50,000 ?  

It is quite clear from the picture that it is made from Lego bricks !

.. and don't forget maintenance..

They said they would check air quality every 6 months !  Should be done every week. That would be as much maintenance as will ever happen. Maybe knock off a bit of dust with the famous feather duster !

Easy !  He had an illegal coup and later voted himself in as a lifelong PM with support from all his ar$e lickers.

The challenge is getting out of and then back into Oz, the government is making it difficult in both directions with over 30,000 people trying to get back into the country but no flights and beds in isolation.

I have heard that Thai will stop flying to Perth. Only Sydney and Melbourne. That will stop a lot of Aussie  tourists, if it ever happens.

"28,884 people did not even have licences."  ????

Now in any civilised country with a similar population I don't think the cops could find that many unlicensed drivers in a year!

And that's only the ones they stopped !  Wonder what the real figure is ?  We all know that none of the kids riding to school have a licence, and in most cases no helmet too. But the police don't care ! The police are the problem stopping the solution !!

The number one cause of accidents is driving under the influence, at 33.96%, followed closely by speeding, at 33.45%. Most accidents so far have involved motorcycles, at a current 82.03%.

 

Why doesn't the Gov add details that are fully relevant and easily available?

 

Were the accidents due to

• scooters going the wrong way on roads
• trucks / cars going the wrong way on roads
• more than 2 people on scooters
• people without valid driver licenses for cars / scooters
• motorcycle / scooter people wearing helmets???
• u-turns involved???

Simple answer is that the government and the police DO NOT CARE about drivers and passengers
