    That's sick and disturbing to watch.

    I'm not the biggest Bible fan, but I'm glad the Bible dude stepped in and started preaching in this particular instance.

    We HAVE strayed from God indeed to witness this fat tub batter those women. 

     

     

    I thought it was a bit of light hearted fun. Mr. Big clearly wasn't trying to hurt the ladies, and they both had padded head protection while he had none.

    Most of the action seemed to be them bouncing off his rather large tummy.

    I wonder if these international schools even preclude students from using their phones in classrooms. Probably not. And of course no teachers will fight for them to stop using phones either. Why would they. They don’t care. It’s seriously so easy to tease out what is really going on in these schools. Nobody cares, and parents know this too they are just too caught up in their jobs and work life to admit it to themselves.  

    A phone is a useful tool, my kid is in CEP (Chinese and English Project), and uses it to help him with Chinese/English/Thai translation.

    Never heard of this stuff actually happening to people myself in Thailand / Asia. I do remember they did this at a guesthouse I used to stay at a lot, they would need to close for several days before being able to open again. I could imagine we breathe bad things at places all the time, that have mid or long term impacts potentially, but is there seriously like the danger here to be in a room, where it just kills 2 people instantly, by staying there 1 or a couple of nights? Sounds like WW2 stories.

    Happened in Chang Mai a while back ....... they knocked the hotel down in the end.

    Seems a bit xenophobic?

    What about the Philippines?

    Can't you get this there too? 😦 

    Been to the PI loads, it's a great place for a beach holiday.

    But the internet isn't great, and the electricity tends to go off a lot.

    If I didn't already have a house and family here, I might have considered it, or Vietnam or Cambodia.

     

    I'm generally a happy person wherever i am, always plenty to do.

    'Island of Thieves' by Glen Eric Hamilton is ready to read on my Kindle, not looked at today's movie/tv offerings on the torrent sites, chicken Madras in the freezer, I'll probably have that with spaghetti for lunch.

     

    Too much choice of things to watch/read/eat/drink next to ever be bored.

    It's 10, 000 plus 10,000 extension only once giving a max 360 days over a 5 year period

    Can't think of any extension that wasn't priced at 1,900bht.

    Seems a standardised charge to me.

     

    Not sure the government have thought it through though .........

    If you don't have a long term VISA, you can't open a Thai bank account, so how would applicants get 500kbht in a Thai bank account?

    You'd already need a long term VISA to get the DTV, and you'd need 500kbht in a Thai bank to apply, and you could probably only apply from your home country ......... everyone would be running in circles to try and fulfil the application conditions!

    What a frivolous claim, what on Earth are they thinking?

     

    Why would the airline remove them for being black? I'm quite sure they fly plenty of black passengers on any given day. Surely the explanation given by the airline makes a lot more sense. 

    Easy to judge, if a number of black men were allowed to remain seated then no crime. If all the black men were removed then criminal.

     

    Op claims 8 black men were removed.

     

    Looks like the Airline are about to get a well deserved spank!

    Surely this is illegal, as a business operator you can't offload all your liability onto the staff.

     

    What if there was an armed robbery? Make the staff pay?

     

    It was the waitress fault as she didn't watch the payment complete.

    Up in CM if you pay with QR, the waitress takes a photo of the payment screen as confirmation.

    This event was negligence on the waitress part.

    Did GBP 4000 from Wise to Nationwide last Saturday. Immediately out of my Wise, advised that it would take 6 hours. OK, there was a UK Bank Holiday on Monday. Nationwide told me to get a Forward Trace with Wise. Money was with Nationwide all the time, for 'Verification', and arrived on Tuesday. Nationwide gave me GBP 50 for wrong information. 

    Sent GBP 40 to Virgin Credit Card yesterday.......still not arrived, but debited from my Wise account immediately. What's going on here. 

    What's going on is Nationwide isn't a proper bank and it's been like that forever.

    Yes, your picture looks good to me, too, but with a cheap aerial I can still not choose any channels. I do need a receiver to connect the aerial to. Am I right? Well, I have ordered the newest PSI receiver.

    Now what ThaI tv channels can you get with that aerial, may I ask?

    If your TV is under 10 years old you will be able to get all digital channels with a simple aerial.

     

    Satellite tv is dead and gone.
