Yes, sir! By the way - as you're in teaching mode, you should really answer questions that are put to you - not just ignore them e.g.:- "...... at least attempt to be accurate." Could you explain where I was inaccurate? Just to increase my "self awareness". "Try focusing on the facts and content of people's messages." I do try, honestly, but sometimes the poor spelling and grammar confuses me e.g. "whom who don't even know" Maybe I should try harder, Sir?

".........all while remaining generally useless, at least attempt to be accurate." Got to give you a "Confused" emoji for that one 😕 And I didn't think that spelling correctly was a particularly "useless" talent to have, nor that "spelling errors and grammatical errors are entirely different aspects of writing"? Whoops, here's another one 😕

And it sounds like you're one of those big macho guys that has one or two Pit Bulls for company.

"Anyway, the radio station said Italian." By the use of the word "anyway" obviously you're implying that you believe the radio. "It's what I heard....." on the radio? "Geeze some people have too much time." "Pot - Kettle"? Anyway, all this is becoming rather "confusing" - "Italian", "Belgian" - who are we to believe? Enough for me - the guy's a prat anyway!

"I've got more important things to do,......." Yes, I'm sure you have - like listening to the radio? 🙂

Some/many people do not put their school or University on their profile So the Radio Station is bound to be correct? - ha ha

Grammar Police here - it's not a "witchunt" or a "witchurt" - it's a "witch hunt"!

From his Facebook page:- "Former Managing director at mezelf No schools/universities to show From Eeklo, Belgium"

"It's a pittance." Correct - probably spends that on a day's dog food and a drink or 3.

You obviously haven't been bitten by an out of control dog! If it's had a blast of spray in its face, it's not an attempt to blind it - it's a "come near me, or anyone again growling and snarling, you'll get another dose of this" Another point to bear in mind is that dogs can smell fear and if you are backing off in fear, it is just as likely to "have a go" as it is to go away.

Finally - an overstayer that is a criminal, which justifies the millions of baht and man hours spent on catching "innocent" OAP's living out the last days of their lives in a decent climate

And Pit Bulls are still legal - in spite of the fact that they are acknowledged to be probably the most dangerous breed in the world.

“Recently my neighbor told me that my dogs have been chasing people on bikes. I was surprised, my dogs don’t even own bikes.”

I like it! "Corrie" instead of "Eastenders"! I wonder which accent the Thai kids would find harder to understand - Mancunian or Cockney?

Did I not read somewhere that the standard of education in Thailand is "abysmal" - especially in written and spoken English (which, like it or loathe it - it is accepted Worldwide as a "second" language) So to remedy this shortcoming, they reduce school hours to "incorporate more practical and tech-based learning." Marvellous!

"................go quietly and you can keep your ill-gotten gains,........." The problem is that he doesn't need his "ill gotten gains", having such a wealthy wife, which is why he is unlikely to go quietly, and I think you are right about leaving the dirt with lawyers. It leaves the hierarchy in a difficult position - for once they are on the back foot, and can't buy their way out of trouble. As a previous poster has said, he ain't gone yet!

Pol Gen Surachate said the money he spends comes from his wife Sirinatda, the daughter of Bancha Panitchapong, a billionaire transport and property tycoon in Songkhla, his home province. The daughter probably has a rather large bank account in her own right.

"Mr. Panthong Loikulnan of the Customs Department mentioned that standard airport X-ray inspections can miss narcotics concealed in luggage." Ooops! What a giveaway! However, to be fair, "In response, Thai officials are now implementing more stringent measures to prevent similar incidents." Would that be to check all luggage? 🤪

On their official website (Gov.co.uk) even the British Government say that conditions in Thai jails can be "harsh", so I think one can assume that life in the UK may be a bit more tolerable for him - especially at that age! ("Honest, guv, I'm a changed man - It all happened so long ago during a depressed period of my life. I was on drugs and couldn't control my emotions")

Ha sip - ha sip!

Extract from this article:- "...........leading to his detention and highlighting an ongoing issue of foreign nationals flouting visa regulations in Thailand." Friday, 7 July 2023, 14:16"Within the next three months, the number of overstayers should be reduced to zero, as they are more likely to engage in criminal activities, which can adversely affect Thailand’s tourism industry, Pol. Lt. Gen. Pakphumpipat said." Note that the article is dated Friday 7 July 2023, and today is Monday 24 June 2024! Maybe he was a tad optimistic!" They say 'owt"! "Overstayers are more likely to engage in criminal activities" - Gob****e! they are more likely to just keep their heads down and avoid the law. Is Pol. Lt. Gen. Pakphumpipat still in the same job? Can't seem to find any articles about him since July last year. He has maybe had his 15 minutes of fame 😁

"Unclear where the fake product was actually prodiced (produced?) and packaged and by whom." ".........distributing fake Xanax pills across the dark web from makeshift labs in the West Midlands, UK." Still no explanation from you on that one. Pfizer's concern would not be patent protectionism but rather having their particular brand associated with a sub-standard and potentially dangerous product. I did mention that in another post to another reader:- ".....(and don't tell me that it is because they want to safeguard their reputation!)

Is it important? Do you want to "gawk"?

Who are you to tell me that I "have no idea how many millions of lives are destroyed through illegal drugs?" And get off your pompous high horse telling me to "put my brain into gear before make (making?) anymore (any more?) stupid comments like that". It has a LOT to do with Pfizer losing money - why did they take 5 years of time and money investigating this affair? Think about that while you're drinking your cocoa (and don't tell me that it is because they want to safeguard their reputation!)

Part of the article says ".....distributing fake Xanax pills across the dark web from makeshift labs in the West Midlands, UK." Seems pretty clear to me!
