  1. Poor Thai girls like the money thrown at them by foreigners. They maintain their Thai boyfriends on the side while taking your money. What, you thought he was her brother??
  2. If people have died, there should be an investigation. But then, the authorities are likely to insist it's not true.
  3. If Dozy Don wins the election, it will be interesting what law enforcement will do if he commits further crimes while in office.
  4. Tourists may play a role but isn't water temperature the main factor? https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral_bleach.html
  5. In every large competition England is placed near the top but always has a problem finishing. I wonder if it is the pressure from fans?
  6. I do wish you could refer to the research that shows that you are correct in thinking 1. There was no propaganda to tell people what to think 2. There was no censorship 3. That many British knew Germans personally and realized they were evil after numerous interactions 4. That the education level of soldiers was similar to today and they had their opinions shaped by wide reading Or, did people believe what they were told?
  7. Our grandparents likely knew nothing of why they went to war, or the global politics at the time, or that the Daily Mail and King Edward XIII supported Hitler. They were very ignorant of the world compared with people today (education-wise). The Americans didn't get involved until 1942 (the war started in 1939). No one had any idea about the concentration camps and gas chambers until they found them. Looking at the war with rose-tinted glasses does not help anyone.
  8. I am lucky the boss asked if I wanted to retire and I said not if I have a choice. Love working.
  9. Provide the district office with the original and keep an exact copy at home. The date should be the same on both.
  10. They still have that deadly poison called alcohol I guess.
  11. To maintain Thailand's balanced and non-aligned position it should now issue a statement calling for Europe to stop providing arms to Israel.
  12. I have a horrible imagination, First day for Bannon in the prison showers he is welcomed by one of the Capitol insurrectionists. "Hey Bannon boy, yor sure do have a purty mouth." "Thank you. Please pass me the soap." "Hear it is boy. Gee, I dropped it. Will you look at that, there it is Mr. Bannon, near yor feet. Now why doncha bend over and pick it up like?" Brrrr.
  13. "For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear... "The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees [Celsius], and the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. Fifty percent may be acceptable to you. But those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution or the aspects of equity and climate justice." Whoever said that is more intelligent than our leaders.
  14. Always surprised how they set up a camera a good distance away but you never see tracks leading away from the spacecraft.
  15. Messy. Looks like he just resigned from the IBP, Independent Bukkake Party
  16. Not if you are good at them and win!! 😁
  17. Must admit no one is mentioning hobbies to keep the mind and body active. Cycling to remain healthy. Photography, chess, snooker, an hour in the gym every day, learn a musical instrument - learn Thai! People who never saved money (live for today!?) surviving on meagre pensions and bored out of their heads.
  18. The police can access corruption because they deal with criminals. The younger ones think it is a career with medical and pension benefits. The older ones think it has more than a few additional benefits. I have met some very polite policemen and policewomen who didn't ask for anything and I didn't offer them anything. It is really just a system that has continued for a very long time and is hard to stop without controlling the top echelons with asset checks followed by imprisonment.
  19. Not sure that carbon taxes will help lower carbon emissions as it is a tax that allows organizations to produce carbon as long they pay the protection money, sorry, tax requested (we gonna make-a you an offer you can't-a refuse). Same for carbon credits, "I want to continue to pollute, what should I do?" "Psst, I got some carbon credits you can buy and you will be able to continue to pollute." How about lower tax on the purchase of carbon scrubbers and tax reimbursements for those who cut their carbon pollution?
  20. I don't like to boast of my superpowers. Don't ask.
  21. Nothing wrong with prosecuting those who have committed crimes that can be proven in a court of law as Trump has been. No one is every above the law. Maybe a little problem about evidence....
