The reason I took the risk of travelling to Bangkok to get my first jab at Bang Sue was that it was a walk in for the over 75s. I was at the point of despair being turned down by local hospitals and getting no joy from any of the registration sites. I had a feeling that when the vaccine eventually reached the provinces,  there might be an almighty .... up.

I suppose I'm lucky then, only 71 in CM and got a Sino<deleted> jab at McCormick followed up with AZ three weeks later

I am not sure 100%, but for example Taksin was convicted "in absentia".

Why doesn't that work in the Red Bull Boss case?

Because he is no threat to PM

Argon has a lower thermal transmission than nitrogen.

Very little difference - apart from the cost, like putting nitrogen in car tyres rather than air.

It took 5 years (or more) before his passport was cancelled: yet when a certain usurped female went on the run it was about a week before her passport was cancelled  !!!  Good job he wasn't a politician  55555

New subs, new aircraft, new tanks: keeping all his mates happy so he will be well supported next time !!!!!!!!!

Easy to tell if any gold is fake.

 

Get a bucket. Put the bucket in a bowl. Fill the bucket with good clean water; the purer the better. Weigh it. Put the block of gold carefully into the bucket. Carefully weigh, or measure, the displaced water. Weigh the bucket with the gold.

 

Compare the weight of the bucket with the gold to the water overflowed.

 

Easy peasy.

THAT only measures the volume of the block.  Using that measurement  you then need to determine the specific gravity of the block and compare it with the specific gravity of gold.  SG=Weight/Volume.  (SG = weight per unit volume)

This would shine even in the dark?

I worked in the nuclear industry (making fuel for reactors only) for 30 years and I don't glow in the dark. and neither does depleted uranium

Ah, the 'House committee for considering the proposal of setting up another committee' committee

More money to be had by everybody !!!! (And paid for by the public)

Hows about rinsing in a solution of sodium bicarbonate ???? It is alkaline but safe for human consumption.

Wowee: is nobody normal ? Drink at a bar until midnight (only 3 Chang), home and bed about 12.30. Wake 5, look at the clock and think F*** that and go back to sleep until 9.  I am 70yo this year.

Judging by the exchange rate to the baht he must be doing something right which the financial world likes. It has'nt shifted throughout this lockdown emergency.

Waiting until his masters have shifted enough out of the country: to reverse it when the baht tanks - again - after which it'll all come back and the buying will begin.

Why? Is that just the theory?  

If you buy one without a “key” then you need to turn off “auto updates”.

I was running a pirate XP, I turned on updates and was "spammed " from MS. Eventually I ran out of disc space so I was going to use a disc tool to expand that partition.  I could not. MS had locked the partition. I had to reinstall my pirate but this time with update turned off.  MS is cunning b*s*a*ds.

What's with the red boiler suit and  badges? Is it some sort of pilots , or first aid work wear? Serious question.

Wot no bikini and hot pants ??? But then who ever actually listens when a woman talks intelligently ?

Get a will, photograph your bank books, car/mc logbooks, any possessions you want to bequest and get a lawyer to say what to do with them,  list any contacts s/he may need,  pension providers, next of kin, anybody who might be interested in you being dead, tell him/her what to do with your body and die happy.

Curious nitrogen in tires vs oxygen? Thanks

No advantage: as one said 71%  versus  100%   <deleted> all except the cost.  The thermal properties are to within 0. 000x% the same twixt air and nitrogen.

Tanneries  ? : with the colour copper or chrome salts are liklely, not healthy on the skin.  

Here in  Chiang Mai we have an old recently uncovered temple complex  Wien  Gung Kham  (or somesuch) and that is built of the soft bricks so brick buildings have been around for some considerable time, although only single walls, no double walled structures.

Natural laws have no pity

Yes, I have a will that indicates bank accounts in England and Thailand, my assets are not large neither do i own a house / condo etc. in Thailand or England.

The money belongs to my daughters and I solely wish to ensure that monies in my Thai accounts go to them and not disappear in to the banks coffers

Take a photo of the front page of your bank books and enclose them with your will and name your beneficiaries.
