  1. Layoffs will be happening world wide in 2024, all part of the hard landing, the recession that the FED said wouldn't happen.
  2. What about the bio metrics on the Italiens passport? I thought this sort of thing was impossible these days
  3. I suspect director-general Sahakarn will be getting a Rolls Royce for Christmas.
  4. Isn't that his Job? why the back up, unless a vehicle was needed to transport him, the man was drunk and the cop is armed
  5. "receiving only a fraction of the payment" would appear to be their biggest complaint.
  6. All conflicts have different qualities of gains and losses, ever since Lawrence of Arabia it was clear that the middle East is a riddle trapped in an enigma. Palestine was only trouble for the British with no promise of gain. Kenya had the Mau Mau uprising which didn't have popular support and was brutally put down by British troops who also resorted to torture and murder, there was gain to be had there, conflicts have their own logic. The Arabs are only united in their religion which has caused them to remain static in their development, once a beacon of advanced knowledge in mathematics, science and medicine, they have made backward steps united only in there hatred of the west on whose progress they now rely on. The state of Israel with its European educated populace is an island of progress in between backward looking states who, instead of seeking to benefit from the progress of their neighbour seek to eradicate it, the ferocity of the conflict should be understood from this angle.
  7. He also predicts (in secret) that he will have a healthy bank balance in 2024.
  8. Wars result in the deaths of the innocent, a thousand years of conflict has shown this but human stupidity stops us from learning from our mistakes. When one considers that even our close cousins, the Chimpanzees, engage in war it would seem that such aggressive behaviour is built into our genes. Reprehensible as this is, there is no excuse for posting false accusations, America, like any major power, has a history of meddling in other countries affairs to the detriment of those countries citizens but there is always a selfish logic behind it, the Ukraine / Russian conflict has the hallmarks of such geopolitical logic but not the Hamas/Israel conflict, this is a war that nobody wants, the roots of which are complicated and deep. During WWII the controlling power of Palestine, Great Britain, promised Palestine to both the Palestinians and the Jews (Israel wasn't a country at that time) in order to gain their help against Germany, after the war Britain tried to halt the influx of the Jewish people from all over the world, it didn't succeed and today we have what we have.
  9. Not unlike the whole world if all the economic experts are to be believed, only the FED believes in a soft landing. The market is betting on a rate cut in the first quarter because the money tightening has been overdone, it will be too little too late, the economic damage has been done. Large rate cuts will lead to a false bull run in stocks, a last hurra before the collapse and then there will be a rate cut race to zero causing another spike (a bigger one) in inflation.
  10. Another war on top of Ukraine/Russian war must be the last thing the USA wants, any conflict with Iran is going to be a disaster for world trade on top of the world economic crisis we are heading into in 2024. Your little hate post defies all logic. The powder keg that is the middle East doesn't need any extra help from outside to explode as Iran and Russia in Syria are already joyfully meddling in affairs of destabilization.
  11. because maybe he fears his pension provider could possibly learn of the divorce from the embassy resulting in a pension reduction.
  12. He's done a runner your honour, nothing we could do to stop him as unfortunately no computer notification was sent to the immigration computers at the airport, it's a mystery.
  13. Of course they are available, I'm buying a pair, however I don't think the lenses are made in Thailand. Diamond eyes aren't a thing in my area so its a choice between two Top Charoen sites.
  14. Surely they've missed out on a free STD check up week, meet your favorite bar girl at the clinic, consolation prizes for a HIV infection.
  15. I presume his incarceration has stopped him from gathering enough money necessary to prove his innocence.
  16. Pragmatic, very sensible, why get involved with the skulduggery of either side.
  17. Same for Germans I believe, but with the bribes has the evidence also been destroyed....lost.
  18. Working out like a treat isn't it, who said Thais don't plan ahead.
  19. So would I, but would you kill him? What was the story behind the Italian's actions? probably a tit for tat situation that got out of hand but you're right, don't annoy the neighbours, you'll lose in the end.
  20. That was my bad, she was referring to the frame I picked up and showed her. I need what is called a progressive lens which has basically 3 different strengths. I don't think these lenses are made in Thailand, the best ones are made in the USA and Ireland. Cambodia has a poor health system, Cambodians come to my area even for just dental treatment, so it surprises me that you could get your eyes checked on these sophisticated machines (that my eyes were checked on anyway) in Cambodia. My case is complicated by the fact that my nose was broken some 50 years ago and the center of sight has to be somewhat offset (but I'm still a handsam man, so I'm told by the missus)
