  1. In North America the move away from diesel electric locomotives is just getting underway. Union Pacific has ordered 20 battery powered units from Caterpillar. Canadian Pacific has been testing a hydrogen fuel cell locomotive retrofitted by Ballard Power. A number more have been ordered.
  2. This likely goes over the heads of police, judiciary or politicians.
  3. I'm sure from your tone that you are very proud that the U.K. was a complete basket case dealing with the COVID. More deaths per cap than nearly any other industrial country. Where the class system meant rules applied for the general public but not for their betters like Boris. Sounds like you should have stayed there.
  4. Are there 70 countries in Africa? My brother has been wintering in east Africa and hasn't reported any shake downs
  5. This may just be some sort of semantics within the central group of companies. There is nothing in the Canadian financial news about this. You would think there would be seeing that it was owned by a Canadian family.
  6. This picking on Canadians must stop. A couple of drunk, loud and belligerent Brits get in a scuffle. How often have we heard of that before?
  7. It takes time to divide up the anticipated spoils. Seems getting rail lines built is another thing communists do better.
  8. It's her that needs convincing not us. The ladies of Thailand know full well why foreigners settle in LOS.
  9. Best just to move on. You took a big gamble and lost. It would take days to read all the similar situations detailed in posts on ThaiVisa.
  10. Yes, it's a tragic occurrence. The type of thing you only usually read about happening around the USA southern border.
  11. It's tough but the industrialization of the economy requires it. These people should be resettled without cost to themselves in an area as close as possible.
  12. The Thai people are resilient. They will overcome these tough times. This may be hard to understand for someone who comes from such a neurotic homeland as you do.
  13. True, many of my American friends attested to being millionaires when they could still get embassy income letters. Then the big crash happened, 555.
  14. This was stated in the context of Thailand where that sort of coin is indeed rich.
  15. OK, a real Cheap Charlie but what's your point other than to say you're rich which apparently it's an American trait?
  16. During ice hockey season have shower, get dressed, catch baht bus to iRovers to watch my hometown team.
  17. Could it be he didn't trust her to pay it back or was he the one who came up with the scam?
