  1. Or for attempting to smuggle 'milk powder' into Australia?
  2. That's a good road, half of a four-lane. Broad shoulder for motor cycles plus two lanes for vehicles. The broken-down truck would, I assume, have been on the shoulder so she would have pulled out into lane to her right still leaving a free lane for following traffic. The distance to Hua Hin from where she was found is around 70km. That's a long commute by motorcycle.
  3. In my experience a half-shaft would fracture before wheel nuts snap. If the nuts have been overtorqued when fitted a wheel stud could fracture but all four?
  4. Quick, get the Press in now to witness the desruction by burning of this narcotic in case...er...someone breaks into our police station and .....er.....steals it.😋
  5. For me the PROS of EVs are still outweighed by the CONS and, it seems from the slump in sales in many countries people are turning back to ICE and hybrids.
  6. How come sex toys are banned but glittering carrots are not?😋
  7. Shifting from neutral to first without using the clutch does it for me.
  8. Speaking fluent English incoherently? Geordie.😀
  9. I think this refers the physical state of loan defaulters after a visit from the enforcers. I seem to recall a previous administration giving encouragement to people to buy new cars which resulted in a large increase in sales. Predictably, a very high number of buyers were unable to maintain loan repayments. I wonder who was PM then?🫢
  10. As you do at 1 o'clock in the morning...... A euphemism perhaps. The property for sale could be very spacious, ideal if you have the furniture to fill it.
  11. I think it was the 'stern' warning which scared him shirtless....😋
  12. Presumably these are a different species of macaque to those confiscated from unlucky Pierre reported yesterday?😏
  13. Especially one with a rear glass door which unlocks and opens when shaken.....😋
  14. At USD 85 each these birds aren't going cheep. As with the macaque confiscation threaded earlier, the trem 'bulbul' under CITES is a Classifier. If the birds reported here are illegal they would be Straw-headed BulbulStraw-headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus) recently moved to Appendix I of CITES.
  15. I think the photo is from his Halloween party album.
  16. In photo 1 my reaction was the same as the two men in the centre. Dull, uncomprehending features. ......(thinks) Why are we being shown this shiny cylinder? Just where are the QR codes? Inside?
  17. Was it paint or orange conflour powder? Answers, on a postcard please, to D.Trump, USA.
  18. Has his specific expertise been identified? I would like to attend his workshop and get expert tips on carpentry, joinery or machining. He seems to turn a lot so lathework perhaps?
  19. In CITES, the term 'macaque' is a classifier. There are many species of macaque monkey yet the article does not identify the Frenchman's pets. A number of areas in Thailand, for example Lopburi and districts of Ratchaburi, are home to large populations of macaques where they have become a pest. Reacting to residents complaints local authorities have been capturing them and neutering males before releasing them back into the 'wild' yet now they are protected species? All baby monkeys are 'cute' but can become a serious nuisance when matured so unlucky Pierre is better off without them. That said, will they really be going into responsible care? .
  20. The bargirls can't afford them. A Brazilian if your lucky.
  21. As written, the above statement implies that responsibility rests with the banks to check their customers accounts and report 'suspicious' transactions. It is my understanding from British press reports that the banks have to give DWP access to accounts and they will determine any fraud.
  22. Yes, I was aware of that but it seemed appropriate to mention the parallel need for safety in a domestic situation. To my surprise, as I read down the news clips there was the report of an elderly lady burned in her kitchen quite likely due to a damaged gas hose which would seem not to have had a shut-off valve on the regulator.
  23. We'll send our Keir Starmer over to give him a few tips......😋
  24. Apart from vehicles, homeowners should check the gas regulator which the currently have at the end of the hose connection to the cylinder to ensure it is the auto-shutoff type. There are still many old type regulators in service.
