The room with my guitars and computers is getting cluttered and I want to hang the two electric guitars (including one really heavy Gibson, and one acoustic guitar on a wall to get them off the floor and out of the way and yet close at hand to use whenever the mood takes me. The big problem is, I understand that the walls are not made of bricks but of breeze blocks, which are perhaps a bit weaker. I really don't know. My questions are, does anyone have experience in hanging guitars on a wall made of breeze blocks, and which brand of guitar hooks are especially good for this? Is there any other way of doing it? Thanks in advance. Example taken from the web.

I have encouraged my Thai staff to use it to correct the grammar and spelling in their emails and documents before sending. It has worked well, and their written English has markedly improved. A lot better now than native speakers who confuse your and you're, lose and loose.

Sickly Thaksin Involved Hands-On In Allocation Of Cabinet Portfolios
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
<Sob!> Brave Thaksin, sacrificing his health to help form a government to serve the people while his sister carries on her business in London where Thai criminality has no meaning. -
McKinsey foresees AI technology dominating Thailand’s future
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A good strategy. Keep Thais low educated and dumb while using AI to do the smart work cheaper. -
Knew him years ago and he was a creep back then. Just too cocksure his daddy would always get him out of trouble.

Police officer damages woman’s motorcycle, leaves note, pays for repair

A pity some snide commentators can't take this at face value. There are good policemen in Thailand. -
Thaksin to get extra security and “adequate conveniences” while in prison

The other prisoners are probably helping to clean his room. Using toothbrushes probably means they might not make the deadline. -
Chinese resurgence transforms Bangkok’s Huai Khwang into new Chinatown
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
If rental prices went up it is because Thai land owners put them up to gouge the Chinese. Chinese cannot legally own land here. Chinese have always been the kings of commerce here. They built the first paved road in Chinatown because Thais were interested in farming not shops. Jealousy of their business acumen led to a lot of racism. As we can now see. -

Latest date for ex-PM Thaksin’s return is August 22
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I read he was flying in from Singapore. Maybe I am wrong, but why is a developed state ignoring the fact Thaksin is a wanted criminal? Is it because everyone outside Thailand knows he was stitched up? Let's see what happens on arrival. -

Better solve it fast. Looks like they were hacked up. Tourists are going to love it. -
Thai man turns himself into police after raping 20 year old Burmese girl
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Slightly off topic but worth passing on. One trick someone taught me many years ago if attacked in Thailand was don't bother shouting help. Shout "fire!" Thais react to the idea they might die and run out to see what's going on. -
How hot are (real) Thai women though!
Purdey replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Many ordinary, yet beautiful, girls are against marrying or dating fat, old western men and their parents will scold them if they are seen together. Sad but true. -
I would hesitate to put the (most certainly) leftist British Labour Party together with the more centrist U.S. Democratic party (in comparison). If AI is left leaning at all it is probably because human development has taken the liberal route over a long time. Female emancipation, end of slavery, social welfare programs are no longer considered leftist but rather the norm. Some may not see it that way though.

Thai Private Sector Seeks Help As Chinese Products Flood Market
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
TBH you can import anything but if people don't buy it then you won't make money. If Chinese products are selling this is just competition. Thailand just hasn't focused on manufacturing, so this is coming back to bite them as China is oriented forward making lots of cheap products
