As has always been the case, Great Britain is leading the world in political reform. Reagan said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction, and British politicians of every ilk are determined to prove him right.

A pity this discussion regarding emotional harm from school shutdowns wasn't had in 2020 when there was nothing to fear.

Somebody should tell them that synchronising or automating the traffic light sequences to respond to actual traffic volumes might be a step in the right direction, instead of a muppet BIB in the control box flicking a switch at their discretion to move a traffic-jam from one intersection to the next. As to the LED sign - you'll need sunglasses and SPF 50 driving down Beach Road.

Roundabouts are the obvious solution to Pattaya's traffic woes. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

He will be at his Mum's house.

I think it depends on whose brother-in-law you are, so can be as cheap as 20K - but I've heard 100K is the norm. That's to get your foot in the door, probably extra to have the examiner give you a passing grade. Downside is they still have to provide their own gun, ammunition, and scooter. The reason you see many BIB buzzing around on a pink Scoopy is because it belongs to their Ladyboy sister.

If I was a sceptic, I'd do a cost-benefit analysis of this undertaking, quickly conclude that there is huge cost and very little financial or environmental benefit, and even with an optimistic forecast of increased tourist spending, the payback period is multiple decades. They should have followed the western agenda and invented a fake crisis to make us believe the remedial work is a necessary crusade to protect and preserve the habitat of the lesser spotted callapa undulata crab, or some such drivel.

Hang on a minute - "misleading voters to secure votes" is the very essence of being a politician. It's the only essential skill necessary. What is the world coming to, when a politician faces justice for telling lies. Hell in a handcart.

Just another level of soviet style government nanny state intrusion into the disappearing family unit. A strong family unit and social unity are the enemy of the state. Big Brother knows what's best for you, all hail Big Brother.

Okay, who else expected a story about a heart transplant recipient?

I think that in reality, Dumbasaphobia had more to do with it.

Go to Lazada and search for something like "LED light fitting round". There are a host of fittings designed to fit into a ceiling fan with a light. They come in several sizes and cheap as chips, as in 70B. And you get a remote control and multi coloured options, a timer etc. They can be fitted magnetically or just use double sided tape. Wire it straight to the 220V switched wires in your existing flouro housing.

Capitalism by definition is discriminatory. Not racism, but classist discrimination. The seller will set the price according to the perceived ability and willingness of the buyer to pay based on their class or affluence. The free market will determine the outcome. Every decision a person makes is discriminatory. The act of buying a particular pair of shoes discriminates against every other pair of shoes in the world. Hats off to any hotelier who can squeeze a few extra baht from, or offer a discount to any socio-economic class in the course of doing business and striving for a profit.

Maybe AOC will select Kamala as her running mate, thus halving their combined IQ level and providing the GOP with bucketloads of ammunition.

Not that I'm a US taxpayer, but giving the same amount to all taxpayers is a very socialist policy and should please the Left. If Trump gave the refund based on the taxpayers actual contribution, the outcome would be vastly different. From Who Pays Federal Income Taxes? Latest Federal Income Tax Data The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.

I agree, this type of connector just add an unnecessary point of weakness or potential failure. Cable connections (especially in the switchboard) require a firm mechanical connection. There are even specifications for the necessary torque needed depending on cable size and connection type. Crimping is common on large cable installations, but the pro's use the proper tools that deliver the required torque. I might use these small crimped ferrules in a 12V situation, but not in a switchboard. EDIT: Call me anal - but when twisting wires together in this situation, I tend to also solder the joint to achieve the aim of keeping the wires joined when servicing, and ensuring a sound electrical connection.

Just twist join the cables and heat-shrink accordingly. The heat-shrink isn't really necessary, but does look good.

GPS, and women still can't read a map.

If the sevens installed a pie warmer and offered a decent pastie or steak & kidney pie, I'd be impressed. Fermented bacterial slices of pork offcuts, not so much.

American "football" was on the bar telly. I made a comment to a mate that the rules evaded me. A random American stranger overheard and took on the uninvited task of explaining the rules to me over the course of 15 boring minutes. I repaid the courtesy by explaining to him the detailed rules and intricasies of cricket. I think I lost him at silly-mid-on, or it might have been googly or thick outside edge. He was mightily impressed that the game was stopped occasionally for a cup of tea and then lunch. I went to the WC and returned to see that he had legged it. Mission accomplished.

This will be a major deterrent to illegal migrants, knowing that in 10 years their assets in Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria and Eritrea will be subject to UK inheritance tax.

I wonder if any journalist has asked Macron the ultimate question - what is a woman?

That only happens in the People's Socialist Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - and to those not familiar with the generosity of the British Marxist government towards illegal migrants, this is a fact. I'm frankly surprised that hordes of Mexicans and Nicaraguans haven't taken the Leif Ericson route and headed towards Europe. Seriously, if they got 20 miles offshore into the Atlantic (okay, the Gulf of Mex America) and radioed an SOS to the British border patrol, they'd send a boat down to pick them up. I wish I was joking.

So, the Wall Street Journal has not been selected to get a free ride on Airforce one, joining the other 3 million excluded news outlets who are free to buy their own plane ticket if they choose and write whatever they want - fact or fiction. Hardly a first amendment infringement.
