How did you report on-line, isnt that only available to hotels etc.

I was led to believe that you can report TM30 online as long as you sign up to do it by registering at your local immigration office? The same way as the hotels etc have to do.

I have a 'Whole house surge protector' fitted prior to my consumer unit. Seems to work.

Touched on this subject ... child abduction ... and it’s pretty shocking what is going on under our noses. Governments need to put more resources into stopping this.

Above is 'Off topic'. 

I won't bother watching 'The Disappearance of Madeline McCann' as the documentary contains nothing new.

Quote

 

The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann landed as a full eight-part series. Was it worth the wait? Did it confound the rumours and the doubters? No and no, not by any conceivable metric.

It was a simple retelling – in what felt almost like real time, so leadenly was it done – of the story of the three-year-old’s disappearance from the holiday resort of Praia da Luz one terrible night in May 2007. It was a blatant cash-in on the vogue for the true-crime series that have become a staple of Netflix’s output since the success of Making a Murderer a few years ago, but without any of the justifications previous works in the genre have provided. It was not the disinterment of a forgotten case, it was not the re-examination of a suspected miscarriage of justice. It offered no new facts, no new insight. It didn’t even have a point of view.

Just finished watching Netflix take on the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Does the prog get answers to the 48 questions Kate McCann refused to answer when questioned by the police? I'd only watch it if it did.

It's safe to assume that these six dogs, just as yours hadn't, had not hurt anyone until this either!

You could safely say that about all dogs. And how do we know all 6 dogs took part in the attack. Probably just assumed that cuz 6 dogs were found at the scene.

They named the victim as a grandmother without posting proof, is that also plain wrong in your mind or is it only pitbulls that need to be proven every time they are mentioned in the news?

I took it at face value. It was a woman victim. Same as I looked at it in that she was attacked by dogs.

You'd be suprised how easy it is to buy a Pit Bull in the UK, I know a few people in my small town that own them.


Obviously you do not know what a Pitbull is cuz they're banned in the UK. The dogs you know of are not Pitbulls. Quite a common occurrence from people who don't know dog breeds.

Quote

Both the ownership and breeding of pit bulls is banned in the UK due to the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991. They're not the only breed that's outlawed, either. ... The other three breeds that were outlawed in this Act were the Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro.

According the article below they were bred for fighting.

Originally in the Victorian times they were kept to keep as family pets due to their good nature with children. It was only later that they were bred and trained for pit fighting.

Are pit bulls aggressive by nature?

The findings were a mixed bag for Pit Bull Terriers. The dogs were among the most aggressive toward other dogs, particularly those they didn't know. Pit bulls, the researchers found, were not significantly more aggressive than other breeds toward strangers and their owners.Aug 3, 2011

Ah, this old myth. The woman in question had decided to kill herself with pills. The devoted labrador was desperately trying to wake her up.

If she was asleep and her face was numb how did she know the dog tried to wake her? Why after trying to wake her did it suddenly changed it's mind and chewed her face off?

Quote

On the night she was bitten by her dog Tania, Dinoire had by her own admission taken a large amount of sleeping pills and was as a result numb to her pet’s attempts to wake her.

No I grew up in the hood

What's 'the hood'? It's okay I found it.

Hood is located on the Sacramento River and California State Route 160 15 miles (24 km) south of downtown Sacramento.

Set width and height restrictions into the road then they can't travel along there

Never underestimate Thai drivers. If there's a short cut they'll find it or make it. Never let hardships deter.

Typical Thai male. Only brave when their mates turn up.

My two kids' sleep have been interrupted by very loud shrill noise that seem to imitate bird calls. It takes place in the early hours in the morning, sometimes at 2am, 4am and 5am. It does not seem to be produced by real birds. To me it comes from a mechanical or electronic device.

Why don't you go out and find where the noise is coming from instead of getting us to guess what device is making the noise? Simple innit?

You should take into account too the amount of people riding bicycles.

We/I am talking cyclists and pedestrians combined. Those 2 combined exceed the amount of motorcycle/cars in Thailand.

riding a bicycle is a lot more dangerous than riding a motorbike here.

Depends on what roads but in general I agree.

WHO credits only 8% of deaths on Thai roads to bicycles and pedestrians. So that would indicate it's better to cycle or walk in Thailand.

These clowns, who claim to want to leave the EU, by their actions, will ensure we have either the softest of Brexits or none whatsoever. Every strategic manoeuvre they get involved in is an abject failure.
