  1. You just have to come to terms with the fact that there will always be psychopaths like this popping up occasionally to wreak murderous havoc. There really are no practical measures to eliminate it,especially involving a legitimately armed policeman/soldier going into a vulnerable institution like a school. Fortunately it is rare here although I understand that comes as no comfort to the victims
  2. Ah,the myth of the 'good guy with the gun'.
  3. You really haven’t understood at all. This is about western companies switching production away from China and looking to manufacture elsewhere. Read the article appended to the post i responded to.
  4. Generals are not the most forward thinking,or even remotely capable when understanding even the basics of economics. This could have been the golden opportunity for Thailand had it properly educated its workforce,reformed its business practices and had some semblance of a strategy to incentivise foreign investment. The switch away from China is going to be huge and Vietnam won’t have enough capacity to cope with even a fraction of that. What a wasted opportunity.
  5. Is there something wrong with you that you don’t expect to live beyond 77 ? Because actuarial tables indicate that at 66 you are likely to live into your 80s. And do you imagine that you will live illness free until you suddenly drop dead ,no heart attack ,strokes ,Alzheimer’s etc? Because I hate to bear bad news ,but your body very likely has different plans for your demise!
  6. Not if it was properly managed with long term conservation in mind. Too often they simply sacrifice any good management for money today attitude.
  7. Somewhat shortsighted. There may be some short term personal benefits surrounding pricing and being less crowded,but ultimately a declining important sector of the economy and its impacts on the population who depend on it will not serve even you better in the long run
  8. It needs a new campaign " Ditch the mask,don a helmet ???? !" Might save more lives..
  9. You’re going to have to work on the subtlety aspect of your irony..
  10. Next time you might find all four tyres flat and the car keyed, what's your next step of retaliation? Easy,you leave the car there for 3 days! That way they’ve messed things up for themselves! ????
  11. I dunno,one in,one out? They’ve just got a real peach from Burma on the way in! ????
  12. The average good looks of Canadians will have been given a nudge upwards ! I guess my offer came second… ????
  13. Didn’t Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear try something like this,only much worse, with a Toyota pickup …and still it wouldn’t die ! ???? My daughter’s 8 year old Yaris in U.K. has only had 3 windscreen wipers and still passes it MOT with no advisories.
  14. It’s actually a fair condition when considering actuarial tables.
  15. Correct. Very many occupational pension trustees pay 50% to a surviving widow,but will reduce this amount proportionately if she is more than 10 years younger. It’s often spelled out in the general terms. Another tip is to advise the pension trustees she is your nominated beneficiary , advising them English isn’t her first language and lodge a copy of her passport and marriage certificate with them to preempt the requirement for her to provide ID when the time comes for her to claim.
  16. Never had any additional fees from Wise to Kasikorn. One of the easiest ever transfers to initiate which even takes you to your banks app to authorize the payment. Fees are clearly spelled out and overall unbeatable rates,certainly better than U.K. banks. Usually arrives in seconds/minutes too.
  17. The all too common sight of helmetless motorcycle riders all masked up illustrates the amount of critical thinking being employed by ‘lovely' Thais.
  18. The motorcycle rider was not in the wrong,but he was a classic case of being dead right … ☠️
  19. Business was brisk for him in the aftermath… ????
  20. That would be the case even if you had a fairly new Mercedes’ or BMW
  21. The most disturbing aspect is teaching English while writing "would of" ! Worse than underage sex in my book ! ????
  22. The same with pronunciation. And anyway it’s not difficult- see this : Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
  23. Perhaps just scale it down to Adolf ? ????
  24. My money is on NOT given description of injuries. Can’t understand that - I put full face helmet and gloves even if going 1 kilometre,it’s 20 seconds of your life …
