Isn't there a Thai equivalent of what happened in the officer class in the old British Raj when a gentleman disgraced himself in some way?

A brother officer would say to him "come along old friend do your duty and end it like a gentleman".He would be courteously escorted to the library where a loaded revolver and a bottle of decent malt would be found.Then the doors would be gently closed until it became extremely clear they could be opened again.

I'm guessing the Thai equivalent is unloading a full clip at the gathered journalists.

Not only in the British Raj, but in any country were honour and integrity are inviolate.

Perhaps he had to get some shopping in.

Seems like a nice boy.

I'm not talking to you, so there.

if it was me i would install a small water pump close to the house

problem solved

I disagree. Yes the problem solved, but you have the cost of the pump and the cost of running it. Maybe the likelihood of power failures also. I'd just go for a small release valve at the top of the loop to bleed the air occasionally as the problem seems to be an airlock.

I installed a tank in the roof space which supplies an electric shower and domestic water. It's barely 3m above the shower. The old shower worked perfectly until it failed due to old age( a bit like me) The new one failed to work. I removed the water control valve which came with the shower and it works perfectly.

For my sins I installed a Laufen toilet system a few years ago. Apart from having to clean the inlet seal periodically, the problem is having to hold the flush button down until the flush is complete. Any answers to this problem?

Will Truevision be showing the Six Nations Rugby? If so, what channel?

Just leave it alone and be careful when working around it and don't work too near! It looks like a hornets nest, several of which I have had in my garden. Eventually they went of their own accord. Don't let any children play near them. or even ban them from the area. Kids are always tempted to throw things at nests. A recipe for disaster.

I have just had a molar extracted by my local dentist whom I have been using for years, and it was completely painless. He does a great job. The worst part was when he put my head in the vice.

Where is our leader who wants happiness for the people. Support these people who have occupied this land for generations and not the greedy land grabbing developers who are destroying the country, with support it seems by the people who are are supposed to protect us. I feel ashamed.

As if the ocean doesn't bring out tones of debris every day for every piece of garbage to get the local

existed and the media buzzing... and yeah, the locals could tell the different between aircraft

metal sheet and just any other piece of metal....

I don't think the locals offered any opinion on what type of wreckage they found. They gave their opinion on how long it could have been in the water on their experience.

After 30 years driving here I can't see any problem.

A guy wandering down the middle of the road in traffic gets hit by a bike that's on the wrong side of the road. Darwin is to blame.

Rubbish! The motorcyclist had ample time to slow down but as usual didn't bother.

After watching this, even if my potholes are much worse, I'm glad to be away from the 'jobs worth' and claims at every opportunity situation. It would seem that this council has more chiefs than Indians. Much the same as most councils the world over I suspect.

I wonder when the same thing will apply to Thailand. Going up the road from my house is like trying to cross the Gobi Desert.

"Almost £80,000 has been paid out by Lincolnshire County Council to people claiming compensation for damage caused by potholes and verge ruts".

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Thailand is still a third world country.Thinking Thais must be feeling frightened, ashamed and embarrassed.

Trump and Palin? They make good pair. Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello were better.

Moved to where?

Perhaps our glorious leader should direct his comments to the parents, especially for them to understand democratic rule. Come to that, perhaps he should take a lesson in it.

I heard that he was complaining about a continuous ear bashing from Graham Norton and Doctor Who on True Visions so called BBC entertainment channel.Can't True Vision have a bit more vision and get some decent British programs on, or there will be more people tempted to end it all.

Just another of his hang ups

Another case of shoot first. Ask questions later. Seems to be the norm lately. Going off half cocked !

Is there any emotional counselling available for the dog after the trauma?

What about counselling for the inventor?

It is the 'Me first' syndrome' .

A snake bit a tourists nose. Antidotes were administered, but unfortunately the snake died. I hope she recovers soon.

Our unofficially adopted son, we have raised him since birth and approaching 15 will shortly he be finishing ME 3 and moving on to a new school where the fees are much higher. So far, we, my wife and I have paid for his education, but now we will be over stretched to meet the higher fees. His mother, a farmer whom he meets up with on special occasions has very little income and I am considering using her financial position to obtain a government loan. Has anyone experience or knowledge of obtaining a government loan for further education. His English language is excellent and his school exam marks show him at 3.75%. out of the top figure of 4. Any pointers and advice gratefully received.
