I'd be much more impressed if he kept the PM salary and donated his other "salaries". You know... The ones that come in brown envelopes without a pay slip. 

Shocking that she was abducted from school. Where were the teachers and assistants? Did they even notice her missing? 

I'm not surprised about him escaping custody. The RTP are a bunch of clueless buffoons.

Indeed,  Lord Jeffrey Archer:- 

 

The Right Honourable

The Lord Archer of Weston-super-Mare

 

"On 19 July 2001, Archer was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice at the 1987 trial. He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment by Mr Justice Potts."

 

And he served half of his sentence in the Category "D" HM Prison Hollesley Bay in Suffolk. before being released on licence, retained his peerage and continued to be a member of The House of Lords. 

 

 

 

 

And the cabinet minister, Chris Huhne and his wife. Both jailed because she took his speeding fine and licence points for him.

I am 70 year old and have never had a girlfriend/wife who has been within 6 years of my age in my lifetime. When I was young the biggest gap was 20 years, now I am older currently the gap is 30+, she doesn't complain, nor do I!!

Your partner is 100 years old??? That's impressive. 

Article says 22m long sword. WTF. Even if it's a typo a 2.2m sword is massive. These kids should be punished severely. 

If you're downloading movies, yts.mx is a much better site to use. Their catalogue of films is enormous.

Listen , if they stole 3 BILLION baht then they may be good at scamming but their greed and staying in the same place proves their idiocy. If I scammed 3 Billion, I'd have gone some place with no extradition months ago

This ????. Pure greed. 200mil would be enough to last your lifetime and have a fairly luxurious lifestyle. Just quit while you're ahead. 

Only those that don't drive cars or ride motorcycles.

In answer to your over simplistic question, for starters how about… road surface suitability for grip & condition, repair records, gradient, safety barriers, signage, lighting, weather conditions? runaway escape lane? CCTV to check other driver involvement? 

I drove on that road last week from Bangkok to Mae Sot and the surface is in very good condition. There are regular escape roads/hills. The lighting on the road is pretty bad though. It was a terrifying road to drive in the dark but most other vehicles were sensible in their driving.

The million baht that the wife had in cash for his bail should have been confiscated and given to the young girl who witnessed her parents being murdered ???? 

500,000 bail and no doubt 500,000 in a brown envelope so that bail would be agreed. ???? ???? ???? ????

They will all come out as wrinkled as hell and looking in their 80s,  

So the rest of their bodies will match their 80 year old lady bits

If you read the article, they had to do 50 squat jumps followed by another 60 because the kids still didn't own up. 110 squats. I challenge any fit adult to do this. My daughter has juvenile arthritis and being forced to do something like this would cause an enormous amount of pain and damage to her knees. 

A better consequence would have been to keep the kids in at playtime and make them tidy/clean the whole classroom including the desk.

Funny, that's what almost every parent whose kid gets caught doing something wrong says............ "Nah, my kid wouldn't do that!" 

 

????????????

 

(I remember my dad being astounded when, at 30, I told him some of the things I had done as a kid. And I never even told him half of it, nor the worst of it! ????????????

 

I wasn't a good kid. I was just really good at being a bad kid!) 

 

Cheers! 

I fully expect my kid to do some of things I did as a teenager. Recreational drugs, underage drinking, vaping (which is what all the kids seem to be doing today) etc and when he's old enough to understand, I'll chat with him about it. However, I said my kid wouldn't carry a gun or ride a motorcycle on the wrong side of the road and without a helmet. I stand by that.

Most, if not all of the 'bad' stuff I did was completely harmless and not likely to result in the death of someone.

Would their offer of shelter be the one that's situated on Soi Suan Phlu in Sathorn? 

I'd rather be on the streets than in that hell hole.

For the wealthy, it's so they can force their butler/servant to say they were driving.

Must of been a great day playing golf no caddies, the day i did it at Greenwood everyone was ecstatic, felt great, quickest round ever 3.5 hours

Last time I played without a caddie was in England in 2019. I lost 3 clubs after leaving them greenside at various holes and a couple of iron head covers. I won't even get into the amount of time I spent looking for my ball because I didn't see where it landed. 

I never want to play without a caddie again. 

Hi All,

I posted a few (3) years ago that my wife and I were having problems and may need a divorce. Well, despite marriage therapy, it's finally happened and we've been separated for the past 8 to 9 months. However, divorcing in her country is now quite complicated because of Covid and could take a number of years. These' are our circumstances.

We're both non-Thai (I'm British) she's from an EU country. Married in her country (2013). Marriage was never registered here in Thailand or the UK. We have 2 children and have lived here for 8 years. We have agreed on custody and overnight stays at my house along with child support (which is more extortion so she will agree to stay in Thailand). We both have good jobs here so alimony/spousal support isn't required. Assets have already been divided.

1) As I understand, because the marriage isn't registered here in Thailand, it will have to be a 'contested divorce' which is a it more complicated.

Is it therefore possible to register to the marriage now and then get divorced (uncontested) a month or so later?

2) If number 1 isn't possible, does the fact that we've lived here for an extended period of time make it easier to go through the process of a contested divorce?

Thanks a lot for your help

The Michelin website states that tyres should be rotated every 6 to 8,000 miles (roughly 10 to 13,000km). This is something that is often overlooked. I know that as a younger driver, I never rotated the tyres periodically. I'll have to check if the Suzuki centre did this at the 6 month service a couple of months ago.
