  1. The "I am just the driver" story was unconvincing. The RTP know more about this trio than the report contains.
  2. A post above raises a more important consideration, that of glaucoma. Another 'silent' disease that can go unrecognised but lead to serious consequences later. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, it must be treated and brought under control before any cataract surgery. Five years ago, in Thailand, I went to see an othamologist due to deteriorrating vision. When he told me I had glaucoma I was surprised and then concerned when he explained the likley outcome if it had not been diagnosed in time. He also told me I had cataracts in both eyes and that was what was affecting my vision. Pressure was 35 in RE and 31 in LE. I went through the pressure reduction treatment until they stabilised after a year and then had the cataract removed from my RE which was the worst affected. Recovered comfortably in a few days. Then, continuing the glaucoma drops I returned to live in UK and, last year had cataract removal LE. Took much longer to recover but eventually vision stabilised and synchonised. I now have good unaided distant vision, improved close-up vision occassionally using specs for small print. I am in a Glaucoma Screening Programme at a local hospital with bi-annual appointments. Only use glaucoma drops in RE daily. If you suffer from dry-eye along with cataracts, there is an additional procedure that can be carried out during cataract surgery which can restore thhe eyes natural lubrication and drainage. Adds about 10 minutes to the cataract removal. Fixed my problem and avoids separate surgery. Worth mentioning this at your preop if you have dry-eye. I encourage all readers over 60, even if they are not currently having vision problem to get a pressure check regularly. It could save you grief later.
  3. The video shows the pickup driver being fatally catapulted through the windscreem. Does not seem to have worn a seat belt so any airbag deployment would not, alone, have prevented ejection.
  4. I think that is the most likley outcome.If they can show prior offences then a custodial sentence is possible. Now, if that had been a gramme of a Class A drug..........
  5. I hope the concerned netizen is satisfied that she has protected the public from the dangers of reckless driving and that she has been overwhelmed with new friends on her BookFace account. 🙄
  6. And the price of the 'permit' from the park 'manager' is?
  7. Although not stated in the article, I don't think the prescribed penalties for Exporting controlled herbs without a permit are too onerous. Perhaps an AN Forum member knows and could comment.
  8. I thought somebody shouted "BOO" and scared them shirtless...😋
  9. There has been a surge in demand from Africa and Asia for British made 12 cylinder diesel generator sets on wheeled chassis.
  10. Wow! I hope the Colonel managed to get the reserved Roller out in time.
  11. I bet the vehicle behind was tail-gating (OK...I know were the door is....)
  12. I guess the cover of night did not appeal to them. The visit was uneccessary because, as the Thai public were informed, China had given assurances that the returnees would be well treated and reunited with their families. 😏
  13. Seven vapes confiscated. Almost as many as can be found in desk drawers in a police station.
  14. I think it was contraversial because people THIS side of the border were enjoying commissions.
  15. Install CCTV to cover all entrance/exit doors with monitors in the driver's vision.
  16. The guy is just taking his aalbino python for a ride.
  17. Just get a widow seat on the platform side of the carriage. Each stop, hang out of the window and make the 'tipping bottle to mouth' signal and the vendors will come a'runnin.
  18. I lost my wife there. But is gets worse. I found her again.
  19. After paying your Angkor admittance fee in USD only🙄
  20. "Hello. Ayatollah? Could you send someone to pick up one of yours, .........Yeah, re-education should do it. Maybe a stint in Yemen......No problem...Byeee!"
