Good question. Seems to me that trump will quickly find an excuse to bomb the living / working quarters of the new guy. Trump doesn't care what damge is done and he doesn't care how many deaths happen. If the new leader is wiped out, will another son take over?

Did you read / did you comprehend his first message? Totally not difficult. There's specific reason why he had 3 suitcases and it's not connected to LT.

And neither do you, and the GOP don't decide. There's good and scaly folks, educated and uneductaed folks in every group.

So now you claim Obama did the same. Are you elling the truth ot just manufactured lies to suit the narative? Please asvise. A link would be the best.

So why do you spend time on this site?

Seems t m that Starmer is not that bad, his policies (some socialist) are pretty good, however the oppositin seem determined to find / create any reason to build some negative against him and force an election.

Typical antagonizing member, has a warrior keyboard to attack but too lazy to google" Re the underlined text, seems to me that anybody who posts comments / opinions or whatever should include enough detail so that any reader understands the point of the post. And not expect that the reader go to google to try to find the point.

Yep, and mostly because some folks post things which have no immediate logic.

And when will we see some progress with releasing all the epstein files?

"Don't care, it's only the Wokes in the west who have their nappies in a knot." What does that mean? Who are wokes? Does it mean, from any country / sistuations who respect the law? On Which seems to be a 'full respect for the law' approach.

Everybody has different circumstances which push them which appraoch to use 'rent' or 'buy'. Ultimately their choise, either direction possibly with good reasons.

"... fu*king annoying, smoking, noisy ..." and there's more. I hada big not cheap condo in downtown Bkk. Unit opposite was vacant then suddenly 3 girl's moved in. Door always left open, then regular severe arguments and fights with the security team / office team in the lobby who refused to allow a regular stream of previously unseen visitorsto get to the lifts / stairs. Then an incident - one of the girl tenant dumpers pile of fresh kitchen waste / veg peelings, past age opened food packs in the hallway, none of it wrapped. Several 'normal' tensnts and owners demanded the office come and look. They did and told the 3 tenants that this is not allowed, all garbage must be wrapped and then put in closed plastic bags and into the bins provided in the 'rubbish room' adjacent to the lifts on every floor. The 3 girl tenants refused yo listen and one kicked the unwrapped garbage arounf the hallway. Owners committe asked to help. They contacted the owner of the unit and demanded the tenats be removed within 24 hrs. If not, the office will contact xxx company and have the 3 tenants instantly physically removed, and the costs will be added to the monthly service bill given to the owners. Quick smart the owner arrived with 2 adult Thai sons and was horrified. it was soon discovered that a new member of the condo admin. office had rented the unit and the owner didn't know. Condo office lady was sacked on the spot. Owner quickly spoke to the cleaning supervisor and she agreed to help clean the unit thoroughly when the tenants and their bags had gone. Owner told the 3 girls (obviously all prostitutes) to be gone within 2 hours. They refused, insisting they would never leave and insisted raw garbage in the corridor is normal in all Bkk condos / apartment buildings. Owner called a snr. cop, his cousin. Three cops arrived quickly, they roughly packed the suitcases / gags of the 3 girls and then put the bags / girls in a police van and they were taken to a bigger police station to be locked up. Many units in this building were occupied by Thai families, many with 1 or several young children. The yelling, raw garbage in the corridor and more was quite upsetting for many of these kids (and their parents).

Very likely afraid to try to get to the bottom of it.

Sure, many Thai people are fixed in their thinking on this; they would never buy a second hand house or condo because .there's no status value in such properties. I put my very big (3 bed, 3 baht full kitchen high level floor) condo on the market, 1 yr old, fully repainted etc., in downtown nice green area of Bkk. A Thai couple arrived, I opened the door and they were arguing, she came in, husband stayed in the hallway. She liked the property, and she shared that her husband was adamant he would not come in because he had told his wife 'I am not going to tell my family or friends that I bought a second hand poperty, there's no status value in second hand.'

Is this the now very quiet but previously very reguarly on this site as Bob and many manifestations of Bob?

JIngthing, I well respect 99% of what you write. But not on this event, It seems that the Israeli soldiers were very close to the 14 yr old boy and I submit that they were close enough to see / realize it was a rock. Could they not use a stick to prod the rock to see if it was in fact an explosive device. Could they not have fired on the rock with specific aim to see if it exploded or just crumbled into sand etc?

A very agro owner / a Thai lawyer says 'that's not acceptable' and demands the new manager be sacked on the spot and asks for permission to recruit a new manager. Approved by the owners and with 2 weeks a new admin. manager starts work. And the work is excellent, focused, always up to date and speaks Thai and English. To this day still in the psoition with excellent performance and supervisies the office staff politely but firmly.

From just abve "...it is valid until leave you Thailand, unless you buy a new visa that will allow you to return to Thailand as a Permanent Resident, with all respect I find thie phrase / wording to be quite confusing. What it raally mens is getting an exit and re-entry stamp in your passport and a duplicate of the stamp in your PR book. The process to do this at a immigration office includes giving you a 'temporary visa' <with a number> issued at the immigration office where you are applying for an exit and re-entry stamp. It remains valid until uou return to Thailand when the original PR approval details become the main PR approval force (which is valid until your death* (unless you gain a criminal record etc. *keeping in mind that Thai PR is for lifetime (cheewit in Thai language), doesn't need review / reissue ever.

OK, but any potentail buyer should do a detailed deep dive into the numbers (especially financial numbers) on any of the documents mentioned above. I had a big condo in Bkk (3 beds / 2 bths, full kitchen)and more. AGM had been held every year but owners never informed of AGM date / time / location. All the documents mentioned were put up on a screen with a verbal warning from the condo admin. manager "NO PHOTOS" . Copies of these documents not available; admin. manager claimed that was illegal. Then we had a just retired very snr. cop buy one of the very big units. He asked (in cicie clothes) at the office 'when is the next AGM or all owners meeting?' Admin. Manager refused to answer. Then retired cop showed his business card and requested that his wife go and get his shirt with all hs rank etc.. This frightened the admin. manager and she then said 'next Sunday, but we don't publish the dae because that's illegal. Snr. cop said 'just a moment' and he called a snr police colleagues and gave the phone to the admin. manager. More discussion on speaker phone and the new retired snr cop asked the admin. manager to confirm 'GM next Sunday, starts at 11.00 am'. The still working snr. cop said "I will also attend with 2 of my inhouse police lawyers who are experts on this subject". Meeting starts and about 70% of all oeners had turned up, the new opener had made a private notice about the date / time / Location of the AGM, copy under every unit door 3 or 4 days in advance. First slide goes up but new owner (snr. cop) says I want to see the annual statement of outgoing expenses. Admin. manager refuses but the extra snr. cop stands up and says 'you cannot refuse, this information belongs to all owners'. Next, another owners says 'why is the bulding insurance so expensive?' Eventually the outside accountant stands up and she says 'I don't know'. Outside snr cop says 'please supply all attendees with a copy of this slide and signed proof that the 850,000Baht annual insurance bill has been paid for the current year.' Admin. manager, under pressure shows a banking record for a payment of 850,000Baht. but refuses to give details of who received this money. Further pressure and it's revealed the accountant has fled the meting And there's evidence the 850,000Baht went into her husbands bank account. Further checking reveals the same thing had been happening for many years. Bottom line: the buiding acyually had no insurance and had not had any insurance for over 10 years. Ouside cop tells his team to find the accountant and bring her back to the meeting.f Now a very snr. director of a mainstram big Thai bank joins the meeting and say 'my wife has informed me our building has no insurance. That's confirmed. Bank director says 'just a moment' then he asks for the screen of his smartphone to be shown on the meeting screen. It shows an insatant cover note providing full building insurance, issued by the insurance dept. of the bank. By now accountant is pesent in handcuffs, also the admin. manager who tries to insist she was authorised to commit the ofense of paying insurance premium to a private citizen. Meeting continues for several hours, admin. manager and all the office staff are sacked and told to leave the building with no documents....

Next big target should be netanyahu, but who would replace him and what would their policies be?

I'm coming up to 82 years old. I grew up in an isolated small mining city almost in the middle of Ausralia. The milk man delivered to every home 5.00 to 6.00am 7 days a week from his horse drawn car. Three or 4 days every week he lso had fresh (unsliced) bread from a bakery neat his dairy far, so 3 / 4 days every week we had fresh bread with breakfast and my dad loved his fesh bread, butter, plum jam and cheese. And a big glass of warm cow's milk. The milk man also had onions, potatoes, carrots and some more veg. Often my mum left a note in the billy can asking for 4 big onions, 4 big carrots etc. The milk man would write the price of the veg on the back of the note mum had written,and she left the additioal money in the empty billy can the next morning. My dad brought everythng inside and put it in our kitchen ice chest (not fridge, our Kelvinator kerosene fridge came perhaps 10 to 15 years later. Mum rationed the fresh bread every day, some for breakfast, some for lunches (dad and me) and some for dinner. Always fresh.
