What about the cruelties of the Ukranians? Western media are not allowed to discuss this.

I condemn torture from all parties, it's mostly out of hatred. If you want someone to tell secret information, there are more 'humane' ways to do it.

Shameful comment, only one country to Blame..... X

Oh wow, good one - you said "lieland" instead of "Thailand"!! 

Vietnam isn't a patch on Thailand in many aspects.

Vietnam is my favourite destination nowadays, been going to Thailand for 30 years

Everybody's blaming the judge, but she has to go by the facts presented to her, the the facts presented by social services were grossly wrong, because of an "inexperienced" worker.

 

Well, even "inexperienced" workers can take one look at the file which has details of all previous abuse, and then also can check the child for marks of recent physical abuse.

 

But she presented a case to the judge that is perfectly ok to let the child go back to the custody of this murderous father, I believe perhaps because she was "charmed" by him, and/or just didn't give a dam about this particular kid.

 

RIP young one. 

Everyone blames the judge because she was at fault... several times

Since the OP is "clearly" a biochemist, probably a PhD, he must already be fully up to speed on MHC-I proteins vs MHC-II.

 

Yes, each of us has a unique protein structure around every cell in our body. While within an individual it's always the same, between individuals it's unique. Proteins are large and complex molecules, so there are slight variations in the bonds each protein has as well as the way it folds. The lucky ones among us might have gotten a certain HLA-B*15:01 allele from one of our parents. Really lucky people got one from each parent.

 

That allele has the ability to bind with certain peptides that result from the breakdown of the Covid-19 virus as it enters a cell, which turbo charges killer T-cells and B cells to block that virus from infecting more cells and destroying the ones it has infected. Such individuals are 2.5 times more likely to suffer no symptoms from Covid-19 infection (if they have one HLA-B*15:01 allele from one parent) and up to 8.5 times more likely to suffer no symptoms if they got that allele from both parents.

 

Luckier still are those folks who inherited the Delta 32 gene, a gene which not only protected one's ancestors from the Bubonic Plague, but also makes it unlikely the carrier can become infected with viruses such as HIV or Covid-19.

Good explanation but far too complex for the conspiracy numpties to take on board.....

No vaccine here, I came through with no covid symtoms.

Unfortunately those who succumbed to COVID are unable to post the same are they? I know 3 people who died with COVID symptoms....

The speed limit is 60 in that area. 

So the article says the car took 50 metres to stop, that would suggest it was traveling at about 50mph or 80 kph?

I always find picking up a stone works well

Yes, considering the extent of the damage and that no other vehicle seems to have been involved......perhaps 66 is getting too old for a crotch rocket. 

Possibly the daftest comment here. I'm 66 and ride an H2, been riding for 50 years, I'd say experienced.

My friend was on this flight and said it was awful! She said it was 3 hours being unloaded and then the following day, they spent another 3 hours on the tarmac before take off!! Not a great start to the holiday!!

Husband's guilty as sin......

I used to get daily email notifications from Asean now but they stopped a week or so ago all my settings are correct,can anyone suggest why I no longer receive my daily email?

in general it is illegal to shoot someone when they are running from you and no longer a threat.

Which is the problem they simply steal from others less able to protect themselves. Pity he didn't get the other two. Wonder how many others will suffer at their hands?

your country sounds like a criminal's paradise

Yes the UK is. Good on the guy I reckon, pity he didn't get the other rwo

Yeap it's illegal to park like that, I got fined 200 a few years back, that's how I found out it's illegal!!!

Western food is good at The Good corner opposite the Kavinburi hotel. I've just booked the new Banbua hotel which gets excellent reviews. Pannerai is also a good hotel.

That's another reason not to go to Phuket

I usually go once or twice a year. 2 reason for me, Thai pass 

Hassle and cost of flights! I was looking at July or August but £1000 each is too much, I'll go elsewhere

Sleep with me pattaya or hotel amber. Both about 1000bt but very good! Book with Agoda just off soi Buakow

Always made a point of visiting the Blues factory when on holiday to see Lam play, excellent guitarists and bit of a showman. Get well soon
