The so called crime is taking children from the war zone to a safer place yes or no ?

So you don't know what the so called "war crime charges" are ?

You are the one saying I haven't read the charges. Are the charges about taking children to Russia or not ?

No, I said that the USA and it's affiliates ignore the ICC when it suits them to, and that the so called Putin "war crime" is very spurious.

Considering that the USA and affiliates ignore the ICC as they please then I won't waste my time.

Yep very suspicious how taking orphaned and or displaced children to a safe place becomes a "war crime"...even more suspicious is that this is the only "war crime" they can find to accuse him of .

An exhaust pipe on its own will make very little diference to performance on a "normal" four stroke engine unless it has been deliberately restricted at the factory (diameter of the hole restriction for legal /licence reasons) In the case of a 2 stroke engine then the exhaust can make a big difference to performance. A nice stainless steel exhaust is a good investment as is should last the life of the vehicle/owner. exhaust "header" and "muffler" are not the same muffler is to keep the noise down and all Thai registered bikes should have a muffler with a T.I.S stamp on it.

Why not they are far worse "war criminals" than Putin.

Yes there is also another shop on Theprasit same side a bit further along towards Sukhumvit that has a large selection of electronic components...ill post a Google map to both shops when back at my computer...tomorrow.

It's you that keeps moving around all the time how do you expect the "security agencies" to keep up with your location ? 😋

There are a few Granite suppliers along the Sukhumvit road heading south starting from the " Pattaya floating market" till "Nong Nuch gardens" maybe a few more if you carry on along the road but I have not noticed them.

@Longwood50 how's the mobile phone update going ?

Factually In your own mind yes of course. I have quoted for brevity not to alter meaning.

Just like the rumoured plans for The Avenue ? I think the Tukcom building was originally a hotel so maybe back to that or another huge massage parlour like the one next to Friendship.

State pension when I started working was available at 65 now they increase the age for eligibility every year until eventually no one is eligible..they would rather spend that pension money on Ukraine,Israel and anywhere other than the workers who paid unavoidable taxes in the first place 🤮

Comment on the prime suspect saying he would bring the pipeline to an end ? nope none at all. @candide obviously does not not understand sarcasm 😋

2 tier Starmer chose Davos over Westminster.

Yes that is what you do the sabotage stopped any chance that Germany would make a deal for the return of cheap Russian energy instead they had to relay on the saboteurs to supply the energy !!!! no comment on the prime suspect saying he would "bring the pipeline to an end" ??? yes "deflection" 💩

Actually it seems you are "misinformed" about the subject. Remember before the sabotage one of the pipelines was shut for maintenance and the Germans would not release vital parts to enable a pump to be repaired due to stupid sanctions they then "cut of their own noses to spite their face" by totally rejecting Russian oil and gas...soon the German manufactures where hurting badly in need of the energy having to pay extortionate price from alternative countries....it was rumoured that the German government was about to relax the sanctions on Russian energy then what do you know ? Russia blew up the pipeline to teach those Germans a lesson ? errr probably not ! Zelensky and Co hatched plot to blow up the pipeline but the CIA got wind of the plan and "persuaded" him not to do it...however a bunch Ukrainians who hatched the plot where not happy and on a drunken whim hired a yacht and carried out their plan successfully ? Or was it someone else who said that if Russia invades Ukraine the pipeline will be brought to an end.

Yes USENET still exists except now you'll probably have to pay for a connection to a decent server with good retention,propagation and speed...used to be the case that ISP's would include USENET in the service At least they did in the UK Pipex,Demon and even British Telecom offered bundled USENET.

I agree with you on this point. That's why more speech is better than less speech the more discussion that takes place the more people realise that they have more in common with each other than they have differences Just the 2 that matter of course anyone can say they are a multitude of they,their,them's, he,she,it depending on the phase of the moon.. freedom of speech allows that, it should also allow others to disagree.

Interesting indeed considering .

I think forums in general, the moderation policy probably didn't help much,now its all Fakebook,X/twitter and the abominable TikTok. None of which I use... the bestest IMHO was USENET /soc.culture.thai that was some crazy stuff back in the "good olde days" now unfortunately just full of SPAM like most of USENET.

In another thread you say "If a society going to succeed, and make most people pull in the same direction for everyones best, there need to be some kind of contralled stream of officially facts and news." The result of what you propose is the very thing you are complaining about here...when people are censored/controlled, most eventually just stop posting anything at all that is why free speech is vitally important for a healthy society be it online or in the "real world" (a few freethinkers will continue no matter what as that is the only way to break the cycle/spell)...

The thing about Amorn/physical stores is that you can take an old broken part with no id number there and compare the dimensions with a replacement part that may be from a completely different model or manufacturer but is close enough to fit..maybe requires a small modification to work,that's something that is almost impossible to do with an online store..saved my bacon a few times 🙏
