The topic line concerns Q1, not what you want it to.

Who is cherry picking here? The people who focus on a single quarter or the people who take into consideration the broader context and longer timeframes?

Completely misleading title and article. The UK had a much more massive decline the quarter before and are now on a rebound. The EU declined less so doesn't need a rebound of that size. Remember Growth is always relative. If you look at longer timeframes then the UK is massively lagging behind the EU. That's not from some EU source but the UK parliament. I hope the UK can step up its game. *looking awkwardly at Germany*.

Nat'l Park Chief Attapol Charoenchansa said Thurs a man claims he owns a young "tiger" which was recently found astray in Chachoengsao province's Bang Pakong district & claims it's in fact not a tiger but a liger, a hybrid offspring of a male lion and a tigress.

So a Luk khrueng?

What an absolutely heart-stopping ordeal! The way that tiger cub turned the peaceful village of Bang Pakong into a scene from a horror movie is beyond belief! The villagers must have been terrified out of their wits, with a wild beast roaming their streets in the dead of night. The chaos and panic must have been overwhelming.
 

Hats off to Deputy Inspector Pongphop Kudhom and the brave rescue team for facing such a ferocious beast with unparalleled courage. Their bravery and quick action in confronting the tiger and protecting the community are truly commendable. The scene outside house number 12/2 must have been sheer pandemonium, with everyone in disbelief at the sight of the tiger.
 

This incident is a stark reminder of nature's unpredictable fury and the bravery required to face it. It's incredible how the rescue workers and police officers managed to subdue the tiger despite the danger. This will definitely be a story told for generations, a tale of terror and heroism that the people of Bang Pakong will never forget.

Do they ??...    Dealerships would say no to a 16-19 year old ready to drop cash on a 650cc bike ??

 

 

I like the idea that they'd be that responsible, though I struggle to believe they'd chose morals over a sale. 

Dealers are the wrong place for such restrictions. They can sell to people who don't even have a valid license and that's totally fine. Licenses are the permission to ride on public roads. Companies can also buy bikes and companies can't have licenses. I know no dealer in Thailand who would hesitate to sell a bike to someone unexperienced. I have bought 5 bikes here and not once was my experience any talking point. And that's fine.

There is not one person here who is capable of setting forth facts to support each and every element of the case against trump. In other words, facts that were adduced at trial. 

 

I'll make it easy for the Trump deranged to understand, since they are in their own fantasy world. But here it is, Read It and Weep:

 

The reason that no one here can set forth facts to support each and every element of the crime charged against Trump it's because they do not exist, nor does the crime, and again, not one person here can do it. Sure, the truly trump deranged set forth all the conclusory allegations, but no facts.

 

Here's another one, not one person here can provide me with the crime that Trump allegedly committed that raises these bookkeeping misdemeanors to a felony. Not one. And not one of you can provide the statute that underlies that crime. You know why, because fat Alvin can't either.

 

But hey, who's the troll. The one who points out the flaws in the argument, or the ones who keep making the same stupid arguments over and over again.

The one who asks people on a forum to lay out each and every fact of the trial. The one who asks for statutes. The one who hasn't bothered to read the indictment or charges but asks others to present them. The one using "Trump deranged". And the one who calls people names. You.

Michael Cohen made an illegal campaign donation, and the Donald covered it up by claiming he paid for legal services.

 

Yes, I know this will trigger @Yellowtail.

Don't bother, Yagoda is a troll. Asking for someone to lay out a case against Trump on a topic about a case being run against Trump...

WTF? The AI is going mad. A tragic event of a young woman dying and Thaiger/AseanNow can't be bothered to write a proper article. For shame.

Was any of what was proven in the trial not already known? 

 

Show trial

The prosecution has to present evidence to the jury. Known already or not doesn't matter. How else do you think this trial should work?

What an absolutely tragic yet riveting story! A volunteer organization, usually a beacon of hope and altruism, becomes the center of an unthinkable event. The astonishing and heartbreaking act of one volunteer taking another's life over a personal disagreement is beyond belief. Kudos to the police for their rapid and heroic response, swiftly apprehending the perpetrator and ensuring justice is served.

The authorities’ commendable discretion in handling this sensitive matter is truly praiseworthy. It’s reassuring to see such professionalism in keeping the public informed without compromising the investigation. The poignant scene at the forensic institute, where loved ones gathered to mourn, underscores the deep emotional impact of this tragedy.

Let us hope justice is swiftly served, honoring the memory of the victim and bringing peace to the bereaved family.

All AI generated. Way over the  top flowerly parsing  

And it looks like they took the image from thephuketnews.com via screenshot feature of the Opera browser, check the filename "Opera-Snapshot_2024-05-13_112008_www.thephuketnews.com_.jpg". Of course no mentioning of ThePhuketNews, just "Photo courtesy of The Thaiger".

The AI generated rewritten news is really annoying. What a crappy article again. When reading the same news on other outlets some of the details posted here are totally absent. Can't believe any news anymore posted here because half of it could be hallucinated by the AI.

Not worth it to get a lawyer at this stage. Don't sign papers that you don't understand. It would be a good idea to take a Thai that you trust so they can help with understanding the situation fully and also not looking like a lone guy that can easily be fleeced.

Accidental or not it sounds like it was indeed your fault as you dropped the bag onto the road. Mandatory government insurance pays for smaller medical expenses which it sounds like that should be the case. So if they ask you to pay for that then check if insurance covered it or they'll just pocket that money.

I hope you have made pictures at the scene or they might claim whatever damages the bike has. It can help if you can present whitnesses, maybe even the taxi driver. Or ask some of the shops if you can get the CCTV footage. This only matters if they try to make a big story out of it and ask for bigger than reasonable compensation.

Could also help if you can show that they were somehow travelling illegally (do they have a license? did they wear a helmet? was the bike roadworthy? did they drive in a dangerous way or break traffic rules?).

You can sure bet that they want to settle rather than have him talk about that in court. I can see a shank coming

Makes no sense. The court case already happened, he already talked. He was convicted. None of the crackpottery gay sex or drug nonsense went anywhere as there's zero evidence. Just people on the other political side throwing slandering theories around.
