SAS Shooting of Four IRA Men in 1992 Ruled Unjustified
War does have consequences. The size of the gun welded on the back of the truck tells us they were going to continue the war. Perhaps asking them to surrender was never going to happen but that is the consequence of thinking you are hard men.

Former Russian Beauty Queen Faces Harsh Conditions in Thai Immigration Detention
Overstaying for a short time is usual not an imprisonable offense. Must be more to the story.

US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border
I have to agree that closing hospitals where poor people are sick is the right decision by a country which does not want to be a part of global society. It isn't fair to ask the rich to help the poor. Let them eat cake. As for those who cross the border to get cheap health care, let their own countrymen pay for them even though they can't afford it. Why care for the sick and poor abroad while rich countries already have a lot of sick and poor, which they have no intention to help?

Thanks for the response. I know CT Music and visited many years ago but at that time nothing was broken so I didn't ask. I will follow your suggestions. Thanks again.

Thai constitutional rewrite may require multiple referendums
These referendums are not cheap. Give 10,000 baht, take 20,000 baht maybe.

Is Trump's Gaza idea possible?
It may be possible, but will the area be full of Trump Tower, Trump Hotel, Trump Casino?

Pedal Repair in Bangkok
Not sure if I should post effects pedals here but I have a vintage Ibanez PT9 Phaser from the 80s that just stopped working. I don't think it is seriously damaged as I have never dropped it. Could be dust I suppose but I don't want to try to dig around inside myself. I know there are several guitar repair shops but do any of them repair effects pedals? The only shop that says they do Bangkok Guitar Repair says the owner is currently in the USA. Can anyone suggest a shop? https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.tPlHMaB3PHK5Gui3fpyXRAHaHr&w=180&h=185&c=8&rs=1&qlt=90&o=6&pid=3.1&rm=2

Tens of Thousands of Federal Workers Accept Trump Administration’s Resignation Offer
Great idea. Pay the CIA guys to take a holiday in Russia. Others may get a job, but they are mostly administrators. What will they do if they can't find anything that their history degrees qualify them for?

Trump Revives Plan to Build $100 Million White House Ballroom
Wasting money like this is the opposite of what he promised voters. I understand that he will get a lot of the costs back if he hires his own people to build it.

Activists demand Parliament clean house on old prostitution law
They will have to issue receipts for money received so that their income can be taxed. Maybe carry a credit card machine in their handbag. Then there is the annual audit if they are registered as a company or spot check by a tax inspector. In the real world they imagine they won't be bothered by any of these except they will get the benefits like social security.

Why do women wear backless dresses with dirty great bras?
In Thailand I suspect that women like the dress on the mannequin and in the privacy of their home. But they won't go strapless or braless outside for fear of being thought a slut.

British husband of the Thai ‘Lady of the Hills’ bailed - video
I still haven't seen anything that says how she was murdered. Why were her parents not concerned that their daughter was not contacting them? Did his family in the UK never visit or call them? Bit of a puzzle.
