  1. Sorry to state the obvious but fencing in your garden (not electric, it would disappear) is the only solution. The shading material keeps the more adventurous so and sos from flying in. I left the gate open one time and lost my lovingly cultivated melon plants, bought a sleep outside dog and the problem hasn't come up again.

    I doubt that my neighbours would let me kill all their chickens with impunity, I am a bit doubtful about the veracity of the above 'bow and arrow boys' adventures' story. Not that I haven't thought about it.

  2. Yes burn the household rubbish.

    I do it twice a week on average.

    Around 6pm.

    What a hero. Hope you recycle as much as possible. Glad you don't live near me bah.gif

    What do you suggesst I do smartass,?

    Carry all my rubbish on a motorcycle.

    I have no refuse collector,nor do my neighbours.

    I am also thankful you don't live near me.

    Don't use the word smartarse if you are looking for a reasoned response. Our family of four+ dogs and a cat takes three medium sized bags of stuff to the dump every week. We compost a lot and let the neighbours recycle our beer cans and plastic. You could do something similar if you wanted to.

  3. Did you change everything, including location and then reboot? Don't use CNet as they often use 'wrappers'. Go direct or use FileHippo and the like.[/quote/

    Thanks, a light has been turned on.

    I forgot to mention that I use Firefox, in 'options' I found an option to delete Thai. Seems to have solved the problem.

  4. Does anyone else have this problem? I just tried to download a program from Cnet, all went well until the installation started, then the language changed to Thai, very helpful of course. I finished up inadvertently installing Baidu security which I have had bad experiences with before and don't need. After 15 minutes, Revo uninstaller is still getting it off my computer.

    How do you go about getting your downloads in English? Or is this only a problem with Cnet?

    Thanks.

  5. Yawn.. up here in Isaan we will just watch it on TV if it happens

    Maybe true and that's much what my 'Thai girl' says... that Thai politics has always been like this and it's just more of the same.

    Trouble is that the dispute is all about Isaan and the integration of the peoples of the NE and the north into the Thai polity with full emancipation and democratic rights. If things really blow up badly, it's hard not to see disorder in the provinces.

    ...Not too sure about that, the troubled southern provinces also have something to complain about, but I can't see Isaan getting itself organised in the same way as they have down there. Isaan doesn't want to see itself obliged to form alliances with Cambodia or Lao, that's for sure, and that would be the only way that they could gain some autonomy.

    Again (and this is just my opinion) I can't see this province (Buriram) wishing to get above the level of subsistence farming / odd jobbing / going to Bangkok for a year or two that they think of as a way of living.

  6. Deary me, repeat after me: small farmers get nothing from this scheme, you obviously don't understand how it works. We got ฿13.- /Kg, some of the guys with debts to pay off, which is most of the small farmers,had to sell for ฿12. Driving past the rice mills there were huge queues, people waiting for days to sell at ฿12., even less in other places. Who gets ฿20.? Mill owners, big land owners (like a certain family in the Ching Mai area whose name begins with T). A lot of rice gets paid for twice by the government, some even gets illegally imported from Vietnam.

    Please stop talking rubbish about the Isaan farmer's vote being bought by this scheme, at least around here people are mostly yellow shirts, (and not necessarily supporters of Suthep) the red shirts in Isaan are around Khon Kaen and Udonthani.

    The question is not about supply and demand it is about corruption.

    Educate the peasants? Well I guess you should come up to Isaan to do that, maybe you would get an education.
