I just wanted to be unemployed ...

I've been paying taxes all my life to many who achieved it.

Did you explore career choices from 6 to 12?

I didn't, and I also didn't know what I wanted to do when I left school. Maybe exploring career choices since 6 would have helped, who knows?

I think between 6 and 12 I wanted to be many things many of which were unattainable and not just because of education.

If you are having a problem dropping off to sleep dont let you mind wander or focus on something that may have bee unpleasant during the day. Counting sheep is a little boring. My sister years ago had problems sleeping so she focused on something more pleasant. She would imagine that she was planning a holiday  and imagined looking through the brochures. She would then imagine travelling to the nearest travel agent (yes this was a while back) to book her perfect holiday. She reckoned she never got to book as she always fell asleep. The point being think pleasant thoughts while trying to sleep .  My favorite thought if I am having problems is to be sat in the pilots seat of an aircraft and flying between clouds and seeing the blue sea beneath. me.

so many stories we don't hear the outcome, if only we had investigative journalism here

I dont think the life span of an investigative journalist would be that long.

I buy the beef trimming at Mackro for around 155 baht a kilo. Just boil it up and put in a mincer then mix with some biscuit, Depending on how big your dog is will make it a cheap or expensive option.

Nor do I, but that didn't stop me from getting caught up in the recent large fraud case.

Your CC/debit card must be online somewhere to be caught up in in the recent scam.

Yes, Most smart people have done that, I am not the smartest guy but I did

Not necessary for me if they dont do C.O.D for goods they dont get my business. I dont use any debit/credit card online here.

The banks will launch a publicity campaign, advising their customers to adjust the amount of the money in their bank accounts to not exceed the approximate amount of their anticipated online spending through the use of credit or debit cards to reduce their exposure to cybercrime.

So what about the money you are not going to use online? You want us to open a second account for that? Nonsense.

I preferred using a Blackberry but I dropped it and it broke the casing

If all else fails just buy a bigger sound system and when his karaoke comes on put your favorite song on. to drown his out.

Are you quite sure about that?

 

 

This refers to the 21st and not the 22nd

Just in case people need to know. There is no ban on the sale of alcohol by law for this public holiday on the 22ns October.

I agree that it's really minimalist in 2021

 

I have  neither of the above and would never consider buying one. 

Well at least they will have friends to talk with in prison.

And using up valuable hospital resources, which as far as i can remember was the reason it became law in the UK.

My point being that people who dont wear seatbelts/helmets dont normally kill other road users. People who drink drive and run red lights for example also take up far more valuable hospital resources and put your life and mine in danger.

Perhaps it was determined that the helmetless riders were driving under the influence as well. Would that satisfy you? Or perhaps the plod should only enforce the laws that you want them to?

It has been said the Red light cameras would be a good idea, but the number of bikes without rear plates would increase at least 100 fold...Cars and truck's plates would suddenly drop off along a road somewhere. What would you have the copper do? His job? Perhaps picking a better a better spot, yes. But trying to stop a speeding biker is near impossible at the best of time.

So stopping someone without a helmet should be their for there own safety and then fined to reinforce further behavior. You do not put them in danger to accomplish this. A vehicle from behind could easily have gone over them. Would you have been happy then for such a minor .offence. If he was so concerned he could have noted the number and followed it up.

Red light cameras are not the only way of detecting this more dangerous offence.
