Spain does have a couple of small enclaves in North Africa, Melilla and Cueta, but whether they count as the Sahara is a matter of opinion.

They are exclaves, not enclaves.

Yes, the motorcylist should not have been there but (and yes there's a but) the Kiwi seems to be moving pretty quick (hard to tell but sure flies past the truck and the white pickup) but how did he not see the motorcycle. The middle lane was clear to move into to avoid the collision and there seems to be absolutely no movement to avoid.?

You do realise that the helpful circle around the motorcycle was added later, I trust. With a likely closing speed around 120mph and no headlight, it is not easy to see and reaction time would have to include the time taken to realise that it was really happening.

What is the point of showing a pixelated hand?

I hope the bank he worked for, HSBC, can stand up and do something for him.

If anyone can afford to help then they can.

Its a bank. Of course they could afford it but they won't. They need it for vastly more important bonus payments.

But times have changed. Picking up hitch-hikers can be dangerous. Likely to rob or mug you. I would not pick up hitch-hikers in my country and definitely not low life foreigners in Thailand. 

The main thing that has changed is your media driven paranoia.

Phew! We can all sleep safe and continue to eat black plastic trays.

Just ask yourself, will the uber-rich benefit from no deal? Like they did when the UK exited the ERM.

He was not in public, but on a private property, he did not asked to be filmed, nor had given permission for video to be posted.

 

It does not say he was on overstay, when you handed over to immigration you get deported, you do not get handed over for a cup of coffee.

 

Furthermore read this again 

 

It was not stated in the story that he was being deported but INN quoted police spokesman Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen as saying that the cops had not stood still in the matter and that they were determined to stamp out wrongdoing by foreigners including people on overstay.

 

Yes it was a private party at a private venue, do not need to be a lawyer to figure this one out, unless you think hotel is a public property.

 

There was entry fee which makes it a private party once again held at a privately owned venue.

 

There was no sex act or nudity but silly acting.

 

It makes no difference where hotel is located or where pool is visible, it is still a private property

So if I pay an entry fee to go to a televised football game with 99,999 others at a privately owned ground, you don't consider that to be public?

But then if it is private, you don't need permission to film - or do you always give permission to be filmed with CCTV on private premises?

The DB5 is the start of 'countless' Bond films.

There have been 24 Bond films so even if it appeared in all (which it didn't, only in half a dozen or so) it would come to ..... 24.

Is counting beyond 23 something special nowadays?

I can't imagine where he got the idea to make ridiculous statements and then claim that anyone who can prove otherwise is creating fake news. Only the most crooked manipulators would conduct business like that.

Jeremy who?

Wikipedia - Big Lie

History repeating itself.... Again!

I guess amulets are a bit cheaper than fixing any problems in the road or educating drivers about conditions.

The lighting is a bit odd but I reckon it is Elon 'Pajero' Musk. Can he be arrested immediately please?

It wasn't a miracle. It was good science conducted by some very smart people.

Not that common in Thailand.

Pointless advice when nobody is going to take the slightest notice.

I'm sure his BFF in the Kremlin could come up with some 'evidence' but maybe he told the old man to just follow the script.

UK to warn public every week over 'no-deal Brexit'

Who was it who said that if you repeat a lie often enough people will start believing it

Shows what can be done with international co-operation.

Something way beyond the mind of most politicians nowadays.

A few of these would be handy.cant understand how a place like phuket with 10,000s of people going into the sea each day haven't got anything like this..

Because it costs money to buy and maintain them.

And the ones illustrated cost the government £0. Not a bean. RNLI is a charity and is not government funded.
