the law student who had said she was against Israel says that she doesn't want to be Palestinian. i would have liked to heard more from her on that apparent contradiction.

Iran has executed two gay men who were convicted on charges of sodomy and spent six years on death row, a rights group reported. Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, which is considered one of the most repressive places in the world for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Last July, two other men were executed on the same charges in Maragheh, the group said. It added that last year, Iran executed 299 people, including four convicted of crimes committed as children. Also in 2021, Iran sentenced 85 people to death.

I'm sure there is a huge market, not just here, for a low alcohol, good tasting beer/larger, say 2% or 3%.....some people want to drink, enjoy the taste, but don't want to end up flat on our backs.

Get the same effect as 9.8% I'd buy that 

I still like a couple of pints of Hoegaarden when we go out a nice treat

Some years ago I knew a Thai guy who was gay AF, from Udon, he told me when he goes back home he has to behave normal, if he would get his head kicked in, 

The last time I bought a phone the guys in the shop did everything for me

even duct tape cant fix that level of stupidity

Unless she was drunk or can prove she was on her mobile I'd charge her with murder.

Probably both,

I used to live on Wiset Hill, back last decade and that was the road's accident black spot, with late night drunk drivers coming from Laguna.

They would speed up the hill and lose it on the crest at the start of the S-bend and slide into the oncoming lane.

 

One of my neighbours was rear ended by a Russian and finished up in the ICU and was later repatriated back home.

Seems, the median strip has moved the black spot to the racetrack that is the straight between the hill and Chalong Circle.

According to her Facebook page she lives in Phuket Town I noticed yesterday somebody posted a load of links about the accident today she has virtually cleared her page and she has blocked the comments,

I hate the "safety" sensors on my car. The lane sway detector pulls me back into danger when I am moving away from something on the side of the road e.g. a dog, vendor, pedestrian etc. The collision detection slams the brakes on when I am doing a U-turn on a narrow road or go down a sudden dip in the road. 

 

Fortunately they can be turned off but that has to be done every journey. Very, very annoying.

 

RIP to the 2 on the motorcycle. Being rear ended like that is my biggest fear on my motorbikes (it actually happened to me in 2020, resulting in 6 broken bones) and one reason that I tend to ride a bit faster than the traffic flow. In this case, the driver was going so fast that you'd have to be going stupid speeds to stay ahead. She should be charged with manslaughter. Probably reading something on her phone. 

At that point there is 2 lanes plus the hard shoulder, from what I can see the bike was over to the left had side, she must just completely lost it, I live near there

There is a Thai brand of coffee that have the pods for a DG machine, every so often in Tops a special deal like buy one get one, "Duchess" is the brand name and they have a web site maybe you can buy from there, 

Death by dangerous driving in Thailand should be manslaughter would be interesting to see the follow up what happens to her 

somebody is posting it all over her Facebook page, 

They should drop that afternoon no sales nonsense 2 till 5 most tourist think thats is stupid, 

When your on holiday nothing better than a ice cold beer or two in the afternoon
