Could be a smoking gun but almost guaranteed those guys would be involved.

^… only so far it can go though until prices rise wholesale proper. which then hurts the minimum wage people. Economics 101. There are also typically double or more the number of staff here than you’d see in a western shop. Wages will have to rise steadily in kind with making the workforce more efficient and harder working. 😙

Issues with access by the looks—property can be acquired btw if you know what you’re doing. Not going to comment further on this since we don’t know it all… probably connections through the other party’s woman (the perp)? Farang also by the looks. Maybe you’ll get a dose of karma in the future, dude! Beating up on old folks indeed!

But Thai can fly in farangland, no prompem.

Yes it does. The guy might love dogs for all you know. I do. But when they are allowed to bark all day, it is not cool. There is a massive difference between incessant yapping and occasionally barking at a stranger.

… or they bark incessantly because that’s what they do. Yours is a typical ‘dog person’ response. What a world to live in! When they recreationally bark like that, they are a menace to everyone bar the owner. I’d bet my bottom dollar that most people in the vicinity of that noisy mutt are pissed off. Thailand’s stray dog problem and relationship with dogs in general (I.e keep them caged, let them intentionally bark all day, biting kids, causing road accidents etc) is third world and one of the downsides to living here. There’s one by us, albeit probably 100m away, that stays chained up in the back garden and can recreationally yap ALL day. It’s disturbing from a high up condo so must be a nightmare for next door neighbors. Not really the dog’s fault, it is squarely on the selfish owners. Big fines should be dished out to get these selfish people to change their ways or you’ll have more of the above… people taking it into their own hands and killing their dogs. The way it goes in other countries is you get a warning from the authorities followed by a fine, then if it continues you lose the dog. This is how it works in a civilised society to prevent people’s lives from being disturbed by others. Putting up with it because it’s ’good for security’ lol is head in the clouds Thaier than Thai nonsense.

Nothing or block her unless you consider her a friend. It’s a stock message and guaranteed it would be sent out regularly to all her customers. You paid for your time and owe her nothing, forget any guilt. These girls working the big ticket areas are not poor, esp if lookers. Very likely earning more than you shaving away in Blighty.

Yes. Very risky. As for the no god thing, and C&P, I wouldn’t count my chickens on that either… not in the way it’s been sold. No Country For Old Men… a classic. Hate that Brolin and wife had to die, but of course they were secondary and the story was all about the sheriff and the changing world.

Hmm. If we weren’t meant to eat meat, we would never have evolved the way we did, esp the brain. As to the sometimes barbaric way we treat cattle, well that’s another matter.

Let’s hope they keep that child, Vance, out of the room this time.

The drone attack on Moscow was good timing > Russia unlikely to agree > Russia looks like the bad boy… but we already knew that.

What a lovely friendly group.

Gawd 😴 Nothing to do with greatness (dear me), all about self-will and not wanting some non-elected foreigner making policy. How would you feel about some random country that doesn't speak your language making up your rules? Agree with the op, the US is untrustworthy and is losing friends faster than most of you are losing hair.

Exactly. Easy for them to say. Imagine US government willingly giving up the eastern seaboard to Putin, for example, or he will turn the entire country to ash? Alright Ukraine is in a bind, but the Yanks have no real empathy since they have never been invaded (revolutionary wars don't count, where the Brits 'beat' themselves). Getting into bed with Russia on this is sickening. America, you have sold your soul.

Yes at least it drops it down on default mode, although is still using up real estate. I’ll keep it on dark, however to save eyes. Thanks anyway.

Ukraine Russia

Funny, this type of thing never happens to me, or if it has I can't remember and likely got over it fast (people cutting in line etc). There's a time and place for having big balls, but this stuff is best let go, or perhaps leave the ego at home.

Pretty amusing if it went AWOL or grew a conscience and started firing on its maker... Trump Tower would be good.

2023 At times, Thailand's regression into third world mentality is deeply worrying. Anyone, esp foreigners, can find themselves in trouble real quick. Best not to argue with the natives, even when in the right, though of course if you're getting shafted, what do you do... Hope these guys find justice and can move on.

Carney is switched on and a great speaker, and ANYBODY is an improvement over Trudeau! However, he is still too left. We gotta get more leaders near the middle--preferably somebody that nobody wants--or we'll keep bouncing to the extreme on either side, which just pisses off 50% of the population.

And neither will you ever be as you're identified with your mind, as is 99.9999% of the population. Ditch the past and future... but not McDonalds.

Reckon developers do this kind of thing to keep sites relevant in Google. Fair enough but make additions disable-able... it's not helping, navigation already worked well. Even the orange 'up' arrow is superfluous. 🙂

‘Keep Russia secure’? Lol. I mean, who was ever going to threaten it? It’s all bs so that ‘strong men’ be relative. Basically he wants them all to be killed. The bloke is a nutter, but there are many in his shyster government that think he’s a wimp.

We all know international tickets since Covid have skyrocketed, but the op seems to regard domestic inflation. It really is getting pricey. They call it ‘demand’. That is just a made up word. What it really is is greed! I’m with otters, if you don’t need to, don’t fly.
