  1. ALL the Tory leaders were remainers (including Cameron, Boris and Teresa)! In fact the only MP I know for sure who wanted to leave the EU was the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
  2. If it's Boris Vs Sunak, I can confidently predict the Tory party membership will vote for Boris. You all know why!
  3. I would have to disagree with Mr. Pie. Liz Truss did exactly what she promised to do before being elected. Her promises may have been dog poop, but that is what she was elected to do by the Conservative party members. Obviously what she should have done was nothing, and just made excuses for the first 6 months, "I need to set up a committee to explore this and that before taking any action", would have been her best option.
  4. Maybe they could promise to rejoin the EU? And increase taxes on the rich .........
  5. Nobody can predict what the UK pension rules will be in 7 years time. Could easily go the same was as OZ and NZ, not living there = no pension. They could also raise the state pension age to 80. Or the country could go bankrupt under Conservative rule. All I can tell you, it's best not to tell your government where you are or what you are doing. Shhhhhhhhh ..................
  6. As the Thai lady admitted they were following the porsche, its likely the same events would have happened wherever the car stopped.
  7. Thais often flee the scene then hand themselves in next day to avoid testing. The Thai police/courts don't seem to have a problem with this behaviour. Even if you killed a policeman. Did they test the Thai man for drugs/alcohol? What were the results for him?
  8. 2001-2009 I worked as a teacher in UK 'estate' schools. Abingdon, Oxford, Bodmin, and assorted Cornish mining town schools. These schools were rife with gangs, violence, drugs, in fact they were so bad they often couldn't employ regular teachers, but needed to employ specialist people like me who were employed to work more as 'prison guards' than educators. If you return to the UK without enough money to live in a catchment area for a good school, your kids will end up in the sort of school I used to work where the education was realistically non-existent
  9. Sadly you're wrong, When a job is advertised that doesn't pay enough to allow staff to rent local accommodation, you won't be able to find staff. Housing in the UK has become too expensive for normal people to work and live. Advertise for staff and offer them accommodation as part of their wage and you'll find plenty of people to work for you.
  10. Doubt the driver will be deported or blacklisted. 1. He didn't commit any crime. 2. He's married to a Thai, and they tend not to deport married foreigners even if they do commit crimes in Thailand.
  11. Looks like one of the 'Power Rangers' evil foes to me.
  12. I think you mean 'middle left' aka Globalists. I'm 'extreme left' (Marxist) and they all call me a fascist as well. Sadly, the general population don't know the true works of the great man Karl Marx. If they don't want to redistribute land owned by Royalty/RSPB/National Trust/Church/State/etc., to the people, I ain't gonna vote for them.
  13. If only there were a plausible party to vote for!
  14. Agreed, they selected her as the only white person on the ballot form.
  15. Obviously sensible guys!
  16. Can't say I ever viewed nursing as a viable way to make money. So not bad luck but poor judgement IMHO.
  17. I'd argue 'informed consent' wasn't a consideration in the legal process 40 years back (1986).
  18. I've always found a nice selection wherever I went in Asia.
  19. "Under New York law, battery is touching another person, without their consent, in a way that a reasonable person would find offensive." I'd say it was the 'without their consent' part they failed to prove.
  20. Doubt the Conservatives will choose a non-white for PM.
  21. You've never picked a woman you thought was great, but turned out a disaster when you got her home then?
  22. Thai Buddhists pray for money, luck, lottery numbers, death to their enemies, etc. Which makes it a religion, end of!
  23. For those of you that want many western hybrids at almost ZERO cost. You need 1. bucket with a lid (https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3877968807-s14851835737.html) 150bht (this one includes net pots) 2. aquarium air pump + air stones (https://www.lazada.co.th/products/magic-8800-set-2-magic-8800-air-pump-set-i224945627-s343749738.html) 150bht 3. net pots and collars (https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3399576160-s12566860900.html) 90bht 4. a 'mother' plant Fill your bucket with tap water (you can adjust PH6.0 and add small amounts of nutes, calmag if you want) You want the water to touch the bottom of the net pot, (cut any ribs off the bottom of the net pot for ease of removing rooted cuttings) and the bottom of the cutting to be just above the water line. My net pots didn't come with collars, so I cut some bits of foam to hold the cuttings. (Note: don't make the collars so tight they pinch the plant stems) Fit it all together, check the bubbler is making bubbles to cover the water surface. Put your cuttings in the collars, and then in the net pots (trim off excess leaf). Place the whole thing in the daylight (but not in direct sunlight) Wait 5-10 days while it bubbles away, until you feel the roots are dense enough. Transplant into pots and potting soil, not in strong sun for at least a week until new leaves are growing. My 6 cutting bucket has produced 5 rooted clones in the last 5-8 days. When 1 clone is rooted, I just take a new cutting. Way easier than growing from seed, the bucket just needs topping up with a glass of water every 4-5 days. The theory: water bubbles splash the stem of the cutting causing it to grow roots. Warning: your cuttings will go completely limp for the first few hours, but will recover into firm upright plants within 12hrs. Note: the trimmed leaves will die and fall off as the plant roots. Anyone in Chiang Mai want to swap western cuttings/clones PM me. I currently have Bubblegummer, Tropical Punch and will soon have Cheesilicious. I have no interest in Thai plants as I already have too many grown from cheap Thai seeds.
  24. There are many challenges to growing quality hybrid cannabis in Thailand. the greatest being no suitable soil. You need a light soil, with little in the way of nutrients. All the potting soils and 'din dee' I have found contain high levels of unknown fertiliser that burn your plants roots. So I grow in G4 Coco Coir perlite mix, this chap sells the complete mix, enough for 2-4 big pots around 200bht. https://shopee.co.th/วัสดุปลูกรวมชุด-เพอร์ไลท์-เวอร์มิคูไลท์-พีทมอส-5*-1*-10-ลิตร-(แบ่งบรรจุ)-*สามารถปรับปริมาณ-เพอร์ไลท์-เวอร์มิคูไลท์-i.193303481.4004570476?sp_atk=5683ae19-efd0-449b-b8d7-0989de8d3ef0&xptdk=5683ae19-efd0-449b-b8d7-0989de8d3ef0 You will also need a PH pen (100bht) and chemical fertiliser, https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3143669263-s11722895229.html Wesco 30-20-10 for veg (125bht) https://www.lazada.co.th/products/1-wesco-30-20-10-te-i294906795-s495848547.html Wesco 0-52-34 for flower (250bht) https://www.lazada.co.th/products/wesco-0-52-34-1-i3284837794-s12188013737.html And Citric acid crystals to adjust the PH of your liquid fertiliser. Mix the Coco and perlite together, wet the mix thoroughly, place in a 3l or 5l cloth pot and you're ready to plant your Jiffy pellets (vermiculite is used to sprinkle on the top to discourage insects burrowing into the mix. Water around the pellet, never on the plant until water drips through the bottom of the pot. There are no nutrients in the coco so after day one you need to fertilise EVERY day. It takes me around 20mins/day. Veg phase, (if in a tent 16-18hrs of light/day) Day 2 mix up your 30-20-10 fertiliser as directed on the packet, put your PH pen in the mix, it should be 5.6 (a bit either way as acceptable), water in Thailand is normally 7 or above, so stir in a few citric acid crystals well then test with the PH pen again (a small pinch of citric acid makes a big change so a little at a time). Once the Ph is correct water around the plant (never on the plant) until it drips freely through the bottom of the pot. This needs to be done every day. Flower phase, (if in a tent 11-12hrs of light/day) Mix up your 0-52-34 fertiliser as directed on the packet (don't assume the same mix as the previous fertiliser), again you need to adjust the PH, this time to 6.1 with a little leeway in either direction. Pour around the plant, never on the plant. Sometimes Coco coir is washed in salt water, this isn't suitable for your plants, the supplier I suggested provides a perfect product, the compressed plastic wrapped 5Kg bricks are also usually OK. Big advantage of Coco, you can't over water your plants, any excess drips through. Over watering is the easiest way to kill cannabis plants.
