Land Dept Revises Guidelines for Foreign Ownership of Land
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I guess inheriting land from her indoors hasn't changed. Sell within a year or have the local government sell it for you -
Do Thai men get jealous we take all the hot women?
Purdey replied to MalcolmB's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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?? -

If people have died, there should be an investigation. But then, the authorities are likely to insist it's not true. -

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? -
Is This the Britain the D-Day Generation Fought to Save?
Purdey replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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? -
Is This the Britain the D-Day Generation Fought to Save?
Purdey replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -

Provide the district office with the original and keep an exact copy at home. The date should be the same on both.

Steve Bannon's Conviction Upheld: Facing Prison Time
Purdey replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -
"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.

Always surprised how they set up a camera a good distance away but you never see tracks leading away from the spacecraft.

I was bored out of my mind in Pattaya
Purdey replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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. -
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.
