Burma Bill

Fake news??????????????????

For reference: across the border in Cambodia, both King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and the Prime Minister Hun Sen have made separate statements of condolence to the UK.

Yes indeed and thank you for pointing out my glaring mistake. I have corrected it in my OP

Thank you and my apologies for such a glaring mistake. I have corrected it in my OP.

Yes indeed, Prince William (currently the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Cornwall on Charles becoming King) should become the Prince of Wales, being the eldest son of King Charles, but the final decision is with the King. Before he passed away, Prince Philip asked Charles to confer the title of Duke of Edinburgh on Prince Edward (currently the Duke of Wessex and the King's youngest brother) on the death of their mother, Queen Elizabeth. This is another decision yet to be made by the King.

RIP Your Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 2nd. Long live King Charles 3rd.

Or a "sleeping partner"????

With a touch of magic, turn it into a Quidditch Stadium???

IMO The Police hardly "rushed" if the young lads parents were already at the scene. Very sad, RIP young man.

Yes indeed, a train journey I have experienced, travelling onwards by road to Hell Fire Pass. The current terminus of the line is timetabled as Nam Tok on the old Burma Railway. For reference (today, 7 September 2022): SRT governor Nirut Maneephan said the four-bogey train may be used for trips from Bangkok to places like Sai Yok Falls in Kanchanaburi .......................................... https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/national/40019799 Personally I find it rather sad, having visited the Commonwealth War Graves in Kanchanaburi, that a Japanese train could run again on the Death Railway built by the Japanese brutally using massed forced labor (both military and civilian).

I totally agree and maybe he will (back in August 2020 in Lop Buri)) A school director, who killed 3 people, including a young boy, .................. was sentenced to death by the Criminal Court on Wednesday. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/school-director-who-killed-three-people-during-gold-shop-robbery-sentenced-to-death-by-thai-court/

IMO, who would want to walk along any street in Pattaya at any time of the day - NOT ME!!

Oh really??

and on his arm??????

Cat burglar electrocuted Well I never!

Oh dear, sadly how long before we read "pedal cyclists killed when hit by a speeding car"

Add your vaccination status if interested. Never been tested for Covid-19. Never had symptoms other than a mild cold. Body temperature always normal. 4 vaccinations - 3 Sinovac, 1 Pfizer.

Yes, myself, but not in Thailand, in neighboring Cambodia however what "theoldgit" kindly stated is exactly the same for me. I also receive a UK Local Government Pension which has the same benefits. I am taxed at UK source on both pensions. It is my State OAP that is frozen at 102 GBP per week without any benefits. For reference, you can set up your own CS pension portal whereby you can change personal details and check your pension benefits and payments etc. https://members.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/

Personally, I find this "Fruit Resort" in the same Province (Kanchanaburi) much more crazy. Remotely located near the Burmese border with the nearest town 30 km away. Each "room" is modelled on a fruit - shown pineapple and durian (smell free??) rooms:

With the greatest respect, proof please. I have not knowingly become infected with Covid-19. I have never been tested as I have never felt unwell. I have never experienced any symptoms other than a mild cold which a hot coffee and a paracetamol relieved. My body temperature was always in the range 36 to 37 (normal). I no longer wear a mask but do regularly wash my hands. Personally, I regard myself as never being a Covid-19 patient. I have had 4 "jabs" so far. 2 starters of Sinovac, then first booster Sinovac and second booster Pfizer. Due third booster shortly.

Yes indeed - I wholeheartedly agree!!

Best of luck to all for the new season - from a former UK football (soccer) referee.

With respect, 11 countries have banned e-cigarettes including neighboring Cambodia ( for reference should one decide to do a border run). 3rd August 2021:- Kingdom lauded by WHO for banning all e-cigarettes 11 countries (Bahamas, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Kuwait, Myanmar, Pakistan, Panama, Qatar), https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/kingdom-lauded-who-banning-all-e-cigarettes
