  1. The department of inactive posts must be huge. I wonder if anyone who has been sent to an inactive post has actually faced proper disciplinary action such as being charged, tried & penalised accordingly including loss of all benefits which were associated with the job.

    If all of the crooked, corrupt and colluded, MP's, and department ministers etc... were tried and penalised, there would be no-one left on either side of politics !

    Its a Paradox, the chicken or the egg?

  3. Perhaps all you clever dicks should take a look at this before you prattle out some more inane comments?

    Hokum.

    Do you actually believe the stats that North Vietnam pushed out?

    Bigger fool you if you do, I would trust the stats of a communist country at war about as far as I could throw a Mig 21!

    The link you posted isn't even verified.

    American fighters had a far superior kill ratio to the Vietnamese, 19:3 for the F8 fighter the F4 shot down 66 Mig 21's, confirmed kills and finished the war with an 11:1 kill ratio (although it started with a much lower ratio until a machine gun was fitted for dog fighting)..

    Considering that Mig 21's didn't often mix it up with US fighters but would fly in at top speed, attack bombers and keep going I don't see how the figures can be close to correct.

    The North Vietnamese didn't have that many Mig 21's and used them sparingly because of the kill ratio.

    "The entry of missile-armed, supersonic Mig-21's in early 1966 dramatically increased the VPAF ( Vietnam People's Air Force ) threat.

    The USAF's primary counter to the MiG was the F-4 Phantom II fighter

    Though outnumbered, VPAF MiGs had some significant advantages.

    Guided by ground controllers using early warning radar, MiG pilots only attacked under ideal circumstances, such as when USAF aircraft were bomb-laden, low on fuel, or damaged.

    The small, hard-to-see MiGs typically made one-pass attacks at high speed, then escaped to a sanctuary (either their airfields, which were not bombed until mid-1967, or to nearby communist China).

    Since they were always over friendly territory, MiG pilots could be back in action quickly if they survived being shot down.

    USAF fighter pilots had better training and superior aircraft, but they endured several disadvantages.

    One serious issue was missile reliability and performance. Over one-half of the missiles fired by the USAF during the SEA War malfunctioned, and only about 1 in 11 fired scored a victory.

    At the end of the Southeast Asia War in 1973, the VPAF had lost nearly 150 MiGs in combat to USAF fighter crews, while the USAF lost about 70 aircraft (of all types) to MiGs".

    It amazes and fascinates me, how USA claims to have won all of the battles, but actually lost the war.

    How can you win all of the battles and lose the war.facepalm.gif

  4. The junta are currently reviewing 'Neighbours' as a primary soap replacement. If this doesn't work they will fall back to 'Home and Away' or 'Prisoner'.

    That's all we need re-runs of Vera(Vinegar Tits Bennet)facepalm.gif

    Paulzed we have been going along fine for so many years and now some one has to spoil our day by causing us to think of old Vinegar Tits. Thanks Chris!

    Just think about the nude scenes of number 96 and it will all be better soon!!biggrin.png

  5. It's not unusual for a criminal to lash out when they get caught and blame everyone else.

    It won't do her any favours, she may well be up in court sooner than she thinks for defamation.

    Especially when all the evidence piles up and is sat on the table for all to scrutinize.

    In the press statement, Yingluck said the trip was personal. "I am now an ordinary person and I should have the same rights as all Thais.

    No.... you have the same rights as a suspected Thai criminal, and those rights do not include skipping out of the country just before being indicted on criminal charges.

    I am now 100% convinced this is all arranged with the junta to allow her to flee.... Bad decision if this is to maintain unity, she will just start stirring the crap when safely out of the country, and there goes all the unity work they have done up till now.... Not that there are any signs of unity.

    I agree, now there will be two crooked Shins, on the run and in hiding, that have lost face and looking to cause dissent.

  6. He said the fighter aircraft was able to destroy several F-105, F-4 and B-52 fighter bombers which were very powerful at that time. (MCOT online news)

    Maybe one of you military guys can set this straight, but I thought the B52 was a strategic bomber, not a fighter bomber. And I don't remember too many North Vietnamese aircraft ever taking to the skies--at least not while the USAF was there. I could be wrong. But there should be some experts out there who know.

    I'm not an expert but I do know that the Mig 21 was one of the best fighter jets made in its time, Was more advanced that the opposition fighters,The VC only had a few of them, the Mig 21 is still used in eastern Europe as a fighter trainer

  7. If you stock pile a global commodity doesn't that contribute to the global price dropping further e.g if there is too much of it then the price will drop due to low demand.

    Also LNG can't just be stored like rice in a silo, it has to be stored at minus 165 degrees Celsius and requires a complex facility to maintain the gas through compression and heat exchangers.

    I think someone dreamt up this report. coffee1.gif

  8. Condolences to the families of the deceased, and hope the injured recover, but in reality, just a normal day in Thailand.

    On the way to Phuket last week I saw two pickup trucks on their roofs under a bridge on the shortcut road in Ao luuk and I had one near miss.

    The week before on the way to Surat, I saw one pick up on its roof in a ditch, a two car and bike bingle,a truck rollover and I had one near miss.

    Just a normal day !! nothing to see here move along!!!

  9. This is what the evolving friendly socialist party in Germany did from 1936 on the conclusion of WWII.

    They fire bombed their own party headquarters, and took to the streets rallying supporters.

    I don't think you can compare that to Thailand's current situation.
