One time I was at the transport office doing the colour test and a guy in front of me was obviously colour blind as he kept saying the wrong colours, after 3 wrong attempts the examiner said "if you say green again you go home" she then pointed to a new colour on the board and the guy shouted out "green" everyone in the queue laughed the examiner laughed and she let him continue onto the next test ! The traffic light braking reaction test was at times pretty disturbing to witness, the depth perception test was a bit more difficult to see who had bad problems but there where many "do overs" on all these tests.

Polish Biker and Sidecar Driver Hurt in Thailand Accident
johng replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
That's a rather politicly incorrect term but made me laugh. link to the original article https://siamrath.co.th/n/533994 looks like the 19 year old foreigner was driving a big bike at speed wearing a pair of shorts and trainers. They should have taken him to Wat Yarn hospital which is much closer than Bangkok Pattaya. This stretch of road is now a very dangerous 5 lane in both directions race track be careful out there. -

The illegal sanctions imposed on Russian industries and finance. Gazprom was apparently denied essential equipment that would have allowed the pipeline to re-open...and then it was blown up to make sure it never did. And so blame it on Putin conveniently he's a mad man right only a mad man would do such a thing ?

This is what they will have you believe ...that the numbers are minute except when you look at the yellow card,VAERs and insurance company figures.

@Lacessit You did not hear the news that Germany smarting from the gas restrictions where in talks with Russia to re establish gas flow...then miraculously the pipeline was blown up making sure 100% that they had to rely on much more expensive imports of gas...from whom ? Who would be imposing the massive penalties for breach of contract if the contract could not be honoured due to illegal sanctions on equipment being supplied to one party. Not to mention Biden himself saying on video that the pipeline one way or another would be stopped.

Glad to have made you laugh...because it is laughable to suggest that children can or even should be shielded for nature.

No one saw it but it doesn't matter because someone might have and those someone might have been children who of course should never witness anything explicit let alone sexually until the age of ??? 16 ? 18 ? 21 ? what should adults tell the "little angels" when they witness stray dogs fornicating openly on the street in broad daylight. What if they ask about "the birds and the bees" (totally natural procreation) should they be scolded and sent to stand in the corner for such insolence ?

Gazprom didn't collapse there where concerted and deliberate efforts to deny Europe Germany in particular of cheap Russian gas Remember the Nord stream pipeline ( Putin did not blow up his own pipeline) just part of the idiotic push to end fossil fuels when we are no where near having viable alternatives and sustain our current standards of living.

I had a similar issue eventually the trader working with Lazada refunded money directly to my wife's bank account perhaps you have a trusted friend or relative that could act as a proxy for you ?

If I had bought a 400cc bike and it couldn't do 160Kph A.K.A 100 miles per hour I'd be very disappointed...considering that a more than 20 year old 150 cc machine can reach 160kph quite easily. Looking at the damage to the Fortuner the bike was going "quite fast".

Stricter Telecom Rules Introduced to Fight Cross-Border Crimes
johng replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Almost completely impossible to limit electromagnetic signals to a countries border. Enclosing the whole of Thailand in a faraday cage would work but not so good for the tourism industry. Of course they know its impossible but will use this excuse along with any other to impose more stringent controls on phone users internet users and the service providers. -

https://www.thedailybeast.com/frontline-ukrainians-fear-new-aid-from-us-will-be-a-disaster Oleg sighed when The Daily Beast told him about the events 5,000 miles away in Washington, D.C. “Are you serious?” he said. “Now this war will just continue.” and “In my mind, and all of my friends, this money doesn’t help Ukraine,” he said. “Our country has too much corruption.” “The new money will just prolong the war, and civilians and the military are tired. People want peace and negotiations. Not the continuation of the conflict,” he added. -
So we are in agreement... great. 👍

You should "do some of your own research" yes I know its frowned upon and the "fact checkers" say you'll turn into an misinformed moron if you do but just ask google for "infection fatality rate of COVID-19" The social and economic disaster was inflicted by the so called leaders of the countries....except a few notable exceptions Sweden being one.
