  1. Underlines the fact that the sex still relies on exploiting women in poverty.
  2. the two reservoirs used also supply other areas in Surat and NST - they too have water shortages. Samui has very small reservoirs and aquifers
  3. look again, you'll see where they were fitted!
  4. trouble with those smaller trucks is that they may also have been used to empty septic tanks!
  5. the ppipeline comes from a reservoir.
  6. depnds on how much the local topography has been changed by development etc.
  7. you just can't properly visualise those figures.
  8. No such thing - Camembert is origin protected....which BTW under EU regs Stilton no longer is so it can be copied throughout the world. It is also symptomatic that Brexiteers know so little about "the good things in life". Your comment about British cheeses just shows how little you know about world cheeses and the varieties available - bet you don't even know where Cheddar is.
  9. iff your ddress is on. work permit, that is enough.
  10. not such a plan if you are locked in a cell.
  11. It is a sad fact that the average Brexiteer is so dim that they can't even understand allegory but prefers to rely on prejudices instead of rational thought. PS it's spelt "sauce" and that would be vinaigrette.
  12. He will be given a different visa that allows him to be kept in custody.
  13. Brexit has killed all the agricultural export markets and reduced farmers subsidies No matter what they do, you can't grow avocados in UK nor Camembert
  14. Brexit import charges will ‘cripple the industry and drive up food prices’ The government has been trying to hide this for years but now it is coming into force...... https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/brexit/brexit-import-charges-will-cripple-the-industry-and-drive-up-food-prices/689956.article?fbclid=IwAR3FPx1wep5OwHdwXBQA5ULGiMzJXCKleMnUhuhE4oKjQxv7UME1DFw8QiQ_aem_ATYZcysZnvraCBPsjBg5XEG0IreC5UdALXC3klA59nLBDVigGyXm5FyQ6Zi0jtwNWdQL9ntg00ntN9KVqJjJX8od .
  15. so what are these 'margins" - and is it only motorcyclists who "ignore" them?
  16. 1 - the law - If you swerved, it's your fault. Simple. You re meant to drive in such a way as to stop before hitting an obstacle in front of you. 2 - To understand roa safety you have to stop using the blame game and take a holisitc view of the situation.
  17. I used two of Seatrans ferries a couple of weeks back and they were, quite frankly, scary. As i lived on Samui for some time I use both the mainland vehicle ferries many times and with a lot of trepidation. I've spent a lot of time on ferries around the world notably the Spirit of Free Enterprise - you then spent a lot of time looking to see what makes a boat safe in the event of a mishap and the Seatrans I went on did not inspire confidence. The design of some of the boats and the vehicle decks would not be acceptable in many countries the life jackets were not properly accessible I've ever seen thm moving with the loading doors open. I don't know how often these boats are inspected, but I do know how insectors are "treated".
  18. You are clearly not capable of a reasoned discussion on the topic.
  19. Your premise is wrong, so anecdotal and worthless as an argument then -Have you no idea how to put forward an argument??
  20. ...and you are basing that opinion on what evidence?
  21. We don't know the cause of the fire yet and any report is likely to be skant and amateurish. However, as tourist numbers reach the pre-Covid peaks Thailand's poor attitude to health and safety is likely to become more exposed. It is worth bearing in mind that many car rental and insurance companies will not allow their vehicles to be taken on ferries. Any vehicles damaged may not be insured. At present they say it was an engine room fire - I would have thought it was equally possible that a vehicle or some cargo caught fire. In many countries this kind of incident would result in thorough review of the safety of ferries to the islands - in Thailand sadly it will result in a semi=plausible explanation by local authorities and a return to "normal" service ASAP
