Didnt you hear? It was a vasectomy. ????

There is/was a south pacific airline that charged by the weight of the passengers as a standard thing.

So whatever was Tak's Sin, money talks providing a monopoly so you can get out of jail scott free. Too late for action appearing to appease the nation re the big bird that has flown. Again:- watch this space.

Oh no ! My worst fears for the future look like a reality in the making.

The "thin skin" could/should have been aimed at the manufacturer. Most toothpastes contain a frothing industrial cleaning agent Sodium Laurel Sulphate that should not be on anyones skin, or ingested with medications and some people are more suseptable to SLS than others, especially gum irritation. It is dangerous. Look up the safety data sheets. Now it goes disguised under at least 6 different names. Childrens eyes are at risk, not just as topical eye exposure, but systemically when their skin is exposed to SLS. Johnson and Johnson were proposing to sue another company that claimed their Talcum baby power was giving women ovarion cancer from the Talc ingredient. Instead, years later thousands of women are now successfully sueing J&J $squillions because of their ovarian cancer and by now the production of that existing product was due to cease. Their different formula quietly came into being many years ago and not comntaing talc. So good on that lady for speaking up about a reaction to that toothpaste. The brand name did not seem to be in the full story? but regardless, look for yourself on any ingredients list, which is usually only on the packet, not the tube.

So many out there effiectively said "watch this space". From 8 years to only 1 year now! Just watch this space.

What a load of gobledegook amounting to nothing!

He wanted to "breathe the same air as his friends" and now he "supposedly" has a lung problem and needing oxygen. A friend visited to Bangkok revcently and the air was unbelievably polluted. Who could guess what the overall plot is now? If ever there was a case of "watch this space" hey?

Poor kid. As phetphet said:-"10 years old and already addicted to yaba?" What a young age to learn the hard way that old adage "Dont start something you cant stop".

To complete the story of IZ, watch the doco on Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole.

IZ with the biggest heart passed too young. This clip shows his ashes at 3:40. given to the sea. He left us a legacy of "what a wonderful world" it actually is. ????

Sounds like they might wear 6 shooters on each hip in that State more than ever before as previously portrayed to the world in Western movies.? Beautiful school kids have been targets, and now includes Federal Judges. Could only happen in gun-crazy USA. W.U.A. Wake Up America.

The cowboy said:- "...so I could spend 12 weeks off work and spend it in Thailand getting my back better?" (a bit like the Disney quote:- "please dont throw me into the brior patch") . and ".. ..help find a good chiropractor in Pattaya who would take care of me" Others said:- "Why not get your USA chiropractor fill in those forms?" and "Perhaps because he does not even come close to qualifications?" Mai pen rai.. not a problem. Maybe the USA Chiropracor doesnt quite believe in his holiday story, or in reality hasnt heard the proposal, so cowboy should simply pay bribe money to the "good Thai chiropractor" like the police. (referring to a Chiro as a Dr. could surely only happens in the USA)

Yes, if it happened in Queensland Australia all 3 cops would have drawn their guns and shot him dead! The AFP might not carry leathal weapons at Queensland airports but the Qld Police at Brisbane International airport sure do. Thankfully the bystanders didnt see a traumatic killing at Don Mueang airport.

Mmmm wonder why you house had not been lived in for 3 1/2 years? Just joking.

A dose of King Cobra venom can kill 20 people. Good luck lady. Hope to hear a happy follow-up. Purely by the way, King Cobras are not really a Cobra :- "king cobras are Ophiophagus hannah while cobras are members of the Naja genus" "....the king cobra is the sole member of the genus Ophiophagus. It is distinguishable from other cobras by its large size and neck patterns. The name “king cobra” stems from its ability to kill and eat cobras." still the same:- If it looks like one, acts like one, bites like one:- LOOKOUT. ????

Sorry bro, so much empathy and caring advice out here hey. A bit more:- if she hasn't always been like that, and its not menopause? or not on drugs?. the psycho conditions others have suggested are possibles but Borderline Personality Disorder is often bought on by abandonment at an early age and covers a range of chronic mental challenges. If that scenaro is just surfacing due to say marriage/financial instabilities, nothing helps calm these random non-menstrual rages lasting 1 to 3 days. Staying calm yourself is essential. Beware:- attempts to abandon a relationship as suggested by others (if B.P.D) will exacerbate an already "stark raving insane psychotic episode" to an almost murderous level, especially during an episode and even an announced proposed abandonment can bring one on in 3 minutes. Hope for you it doesnt get worse before it gets better but do seek professional psycho advice? "Dammed if you do (leave) and dammed if you dont" was surely coined by the spouse of a BPD person.

A bit of a puzzle? How come two quite different pics? from the same incident? Or does this mean from the photo archives there's been more than one failure? The upper picture looks like a clean CO2 extinguisher. The lower pic was reported from the article about a 20kg "gas cylinder" then referred to it a a "fire extinguisher" at what sounds like the same incident? Looks like a powder extinguisher or is that ice from the freezing of released CO2? No wonder Almer wrote "I am easily confused, was it a gas cylinder or a fire extinguisher.? " Regardless, a life has been sadly lost.

HappyExpat57 relates :- Same thing with scuba cylinders. They have to be stress tested on a regular basis, and if they fail, a big ol' hole is drilled into the side to avoid this very kind of thing. Good safety advice, and even then impatient newbies might need to be wary (apart from the fracture-testing danger) of a drilling proceedure if done on a leaking nearly-full cylinder. Stranger tragic things have happened e.g. when an 1/8 inch hole was nearly completed near the end of a Japanese torpedo to release the compressed air, a bigger hole exploded and projected it 100+ metres and killed the driller. So sad about the departed Thai innocent student and bystanders.

Looked again at the pic and noticed how tall the person is and the woman presenting them with flowers might not be so happy with the judges decisions. "Where have all the Thai beauties gone? long time passing" "Exported to other countries? long time ago".

Surprised when zooming in there seemed no adams apple. As Petermik said . Me too dear Nong Lak

Sorry to hear about anyone suffering and its good that Phuket life savers are warning would-be swimmers. About 3 years ago the locals at Koh Samui ?? took down beach warning signs for tourists about the deadly box jellyfish there and an Australian tourist died.

Good one Bendejo. ????. But what about the Crown Jewels someone above mentioned? ???? Seriously though.. showing off and losing just the gold necklaces would surely be well known? Yup, "Your worst enemy is your ignorance."

So sad and It seems even slow speed traffic doesnt stop at zebra crossings.
