  1. So she had to overtake the offending car once ? "So she had to overtake the offending car once ?" ".....she passed him normally,...." Which is exactly the same thing, is it not?
  2. "............when a car abruptly overtook her twice without signaling. She assumed the other driver was in a hurry." You couldn't make it up! How did she get ahead of the other car after he overtook her? "She assumed the other driver was in a hurry" Most people that drive fast are!
  3. I can understand their concern. In the North West of the UK, there is a very desirable area known as the Lake District, and in the largest town Keswick (and surrounding areas) the houses are being bought up as "holiday homes" by wealthy Southerners. This has pushed the prices up to the extent that owned housing is now out of the reach of young locals trying to get their first house, and they either have to rent, (at inflated prices), or move to a different location, which is not really acceptable.
  4. “Public prosecutors will not oppose their bail requests if the defendants seek temporary release.” "So, if you want to join your pal in London - no problem"!
  5. "Get a stick and whack the dog to send it on it's way." You're a braver or more foolish man than me - it would take more than a whack from a stick to send a pit bull on its way!
  6. And Elon Musk, whose help of a mini submarine was rejected as unworkable, causing the "Great Man" to call one of the rescuers a "pedo guy". Spitting out the dummy or what?
  7. "Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra had suggested that the unusually high water levels in the Mekong River could have resulted from China releasing excess water due to their own flood situations." Ah, so it's "Gospel" then?
  8. Must be terrifying for the trapped victims - a bit like the lads from the "Wild Boars" trapped underwater in the caves near Chiang Mai a while back.
  9. "......as a felon he can not hold a position in the government" Apparently, if he was in the USA he could!!! 🙂
  10. Oh, they will know all right, but if they're not having to foot the bill for the parties, they won't care about a crime he committed years ago.
  11. "However, while the case was still in court, Mr. Bradshaw left the country and was later issued an arrest warrant." What case was that then? The suitcase? 🙂 If he's left the country, how come he was "issued an arrest warrant"? Maybe should read "a warrant was issued for his arrest"?
  12. "............leaving officers to use their discretion." Recipe for disaster!!!
  13. Maybe for the new Government who listened to their own Tourist Authority (TAT), who will no doubt have said "We need numbers above all else to make us look good"
  14. "The local authorities have yet to release an official statement on their plans to address this ongoing issue,........." What?!! They haven't even organised a meeting yet?
  15. Probably the counting system installed by ?????? You got it - TAT!
  16. "................focus on numbers of tourists instead of benefits,...." And I think TAT can be mostly blamed for that with their obsession for numbers!
  17. Well, whaddaya know? There's a surprise!
  18. "Fake charges"? You're as bad as your master! "I'll agree with the verdict as long as I win"?????? I am sorry but I see no sense in your rhetoric, so you are going on my "Ignored" list, but I find it alarming that so many people think as you do. 🤯
  19. "Why the heck should a tourist be cleaning up rubbish on their holiday that's just daft" I can't remember saying that, - I did say a similar thing about cleaning beaches though. Are you not quoting somebody else's post, and attaching my name to it? However I do agree with it being "daft"! And I made no reference to the Aussies at all - it does look like they were just having a bit of fun. Your point about property owners not paying the "council tax" is a valid one, which is why I suggested incorporating the "garbage tax" into the electricity bills , but I am referring to the PUBLIC waste bins - they seem to have all but disappeared - why?
  20. All part of Thailand's "Rich" heritage! 🙂
  21. Friends like Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall for instance? Anybody's friends will speak highly of their friend otherwise they wouldn't be friends now would they? Talk about stating the bleeding obvious!!! By the way, I do not profess to be an expert on Trump - I only go by the things that he has done (and been convicted of) and to be honest, I can not understand how a convicted criminal can even be ALLOWED to run for President, and understand even less people like you and the hordes of people who support him! Mind you, I'm British - I probably have a different mindset to lots of Americans! And when you say Biden and Harris have no friends, I believe you are talking out of your "butt" - they wouldn't be where they are if they didn't have any friends, now would they?
  22. Agree with lives a "good life", if you mean having a lavish lifestyle, but it depends on how you interpret "good"! And I have to disagree about "nice guy", but there again I don't know him personally - do you?
