    Hard to believe they spent a load of money on plane tickets and hotel/restaurants just to commit suicide.
  2. Purdey
    I doubt anyone can follow who will receive the money and a few million will go to people who died in the last 6 months. I also doubt the government's records are up to date. Politicians will pocket a portion and this will not help poor people.

    Unfortunately, any Thai government cannot cancel bad debt as it will allow people to think they can get into debt again and again and the government will miraculously take it all away again and again. Better education is a long term solution - for teachers.

    I do think that intelligence and life experience helps a lot when voted in to represent others. Voters aren't expecting someone who doesn't know more than themselves.

    Cheaper to send robots with AI. Tech has advanced so much that sending people into space is an unnecessary risk. Anyway, what human wants to live on the moon - the cheese is green!

    I read the who NYT article (too long to post the whole text here) in full. Biden called on Saturday. Trump didn't. I later read he called a few days later when all the news agencies had already pointed out that he didn't call immediately. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/not-trump-biden-dialled-widow-of-rally-shooting-victim-she-didnt-pick-up-6116808 Also, on that Saturday, Biden called Trump immediately the same day.

    People are right to be suspicious. Imagine them saying to each other what a great hotel, have you got your passports? Let's go home. No, wait, we forgot the poison.

    What is the Daily Caller? Some guy in his basement?
  9. Purdey
    Nope he didn't. It was all over the news. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-joe-biden-corey-helen-comperatore-wife-called-rally-1925577#:~:text=The silence from Trump contrasts,didn't talk to Biden. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/us/widow-call-trump-biden.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nj.com/politics/2024/07/trump-hasnt-even-called-but-wife-of-man-killed-at-trump-rally-wont-take-bidens-call-heres-why.html%3foutputType=amp

    Of course, you're right. Another document required in every country is the probate. Sorry, slipped my mind.

    I was reading quite recently that the main KPI of a charity leader is fundraising. Seems like he took this very seriously. Western organizations in Africa, like the UN even, have misled donors before.

    What sort of spending would be required to defend against the Famous Four? The UK is in trouble after years of Tory mismanagement and unlikely to be able to turn things around in less than a decade.

    By the laughter following what he said someone else thought it was humour. Like trump talking about no-go areas a few years ago. Ignorance.

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it the Rocketeer? No it's the Muskateer.
  15. Purdey
    I agree, but if officially stamped government documents are not accepted, what is?
  16. Purdey
    I know someone whose relative died in Thailand. He went to the bank with the will and death certificate. The manager read both and signed off. These documents were stamped and signed by the district office. PS This is why the will maker should deposit the will with the District office. They know who made the will.
  17. Purdey
    Banks will do whatever is written in a legal Thai will. Best to leave it with the local District office. They will confirm it is your legal will later.
  18. Purdey
    Sorry, typo.
  19. Purdey
    Maybe you missed the bit about Biden trying to contact the family and Trump preferring golf.
  20. Purdey
    Just goes to show, check the legality of taking drugs abroad before leaving home.

    So when the budget was 500 billion baht it paid 50 million people. Now it is reduced to 450 billion baht it still pays 50 million people. 50 million times 10,000 Baht is 500 million Baht. What have I misunderstood? Or is it about the source of funding only?

    Capitalism is all about beating the next person. Can't compete? Get out of the market. However, today it seems to be, we can't compete so let's ban their products or put up artificial barriers.

    Thai parent: "Don't hit bullies back." Christian parent: "Here's an AR 15. Go back and show that bully." There are different styles of parenting I guess.

    He tried to leave via the front door?
  25. Purdey
    So unruffled the next day he went to play golf. What a hero. He forgot to check in on the family of the dead guy though.
