  1. Lets' be honest the site will only publish what it's dishonest lying principal wants to see and which will be, in his view, falsely beneficial to his reelection.
  2. Surely the gov't wildlife agencies should be taking care of this issue, not the mainstream police.
  3. Maybe, Some years back the paymaster made it very clear j'pob was not his favorite and the paymaster also instructed his son who was often being seen with j'pob to stay well clear of this loudmouth who is rather pink tainted. (But I'm not criticising that, just his natural behavior, his choice.)
  4. I'm 80 in a few months and I do forget things. With my ATM card I have trained myself to seriously go through 'routines',e.g: After doing a withdrawal: - Is the cash in my wallet? - Is the ATM card in my wallet? - Is the slip in my wallet? - Is there any cash not yet collected in the slot that pushes the cash out? - Is my ATM card sitting in the slot in the ATM machine? - Is there any slip not yet collected from the slip 'output' slot on the ATM machine. - Is my wallet back in my pocket? - Is my smartphone in my pocket? For me this deliberate step by step 'routine' works. I now apply a 'routine' to other activities, e.g.: At BIG C etc I suddenly think of something more that I need to buy, not on my shopping list. I DON'T think 'oh I need to get that item before I leave'. I go immediately to that product shelf and put it in my cart I never 'abandon' my cart, I take it with me every step. Then I resume my shopping from my prepared shopping list.
  5. What do they mean by 'container?' Seems rather doubtful it would be 10,000 shipping containers. Or...
  6. In common language, the application form for an Exit and Re-entry stamp?
  7. Is the Thai Immigration Bureau responsible to handle cases of foreigners working without a WP?
  8. Or give you a false number, same as in any country.
  9. "News.com.au - Australia leading news site" Just an opinion which many would never agree with. Same owner as Fox news in the US and Sky news in the UK and in Oz, all owned by Murdoch, very right wing attitudes, loves trump. You tube now overrun with Sky news videos praising how wonderful trump is and how bad biden is and the law is so unfair to trump.
  10. Bottom line: military and police newbies are well aware they could face some rough situations, however I don't see the need to use words like de-sensitised.
  11. ".... bullying; and there will always be instructors who cross that line ...." True, we had a new NCO training instructor at basic army training (conscription), he had just returned from active war service. He called the whole platoon onto the parade ground at 3:00 am in the morning, had to be full nude. Temperature was hovering around 5 degrees. No other training staff present. He told all the new recruits to open their legs wide and put both hands on top of their heads. Then he walked along behind each line of men and used a baseball bat up between the legs to hit each boy very hard on his genitals. And if the boy fell down he got a second serving. Next morning the platoon officer was present, several boys got the courage to tell the officer, he was horrified. New training NCO never appeared again and late next day the camp CO came to the barracks, everybody present the CO apologised and said the training NCO had been given a dishonourable discharge with an order he was never to be employed again by the army, police or any sort of security service, and 1 year in a military jail.
  12. I moved into an apartment in melbourne Australia not realizing that around the corner (in a dead end cul de sac, no through traffic) was a large Jewish temple. The temple has a very small carpark. On Saturdays large numbers of worshipers descended, they just drove into other residents / house owners yards, multiple vehicles parked on their lawns, prohibiting the house owners from getting their cars out of their garages etc. Also covered the footpaths with cars, and occasionally ran over small trees. Some community complaint letters to the temple admin. produced answers, such as "Well they have to park somewhere, what do you suggest". On one occasion the above (para above) happened and a very disgruntled house owner put up a very large sign with one word "WALK". It was pulled down, the house owner put it up again, pulled down again and this happened several times.
  13. I'm confused Jingthing: - Are you expanding my comment? or - Are you suggesting something else? I would certainly agree there's arrogant people everywhere / every society / every sub group and just individuals.
  14. You wrote: "Jewish humor is like fine wine...... And most cannot truly appreciate it, if one is a gentile...." Your statement seems to me a good example of Jewish arrogance.
  15. Same to legally adopt an above 18 YO adult to be your legal child, as your child. I can be done and there's a mountain of documentation, referenced etc. After approval by the interior ministry more admin at local amhur office (not for approval) to complete all the documentation, issue new ID card, and letters to agency which issues driving licenses, road tax book, tabien baan records, banks, passport office. This takes a while but initial approval by the Interior Ministry is not challenged.
  16. There's also the point that tourists may well be angry at not being fully informed that the places they are traveling too are not really fit for humanity and they should have been told.
  17. Thanks for that. Could you please show a couple of photos of reflective blinds.
  18. That's a point but I sympathise, my bedroom (second floor) is by far the hottest room in the house. The other second floor rooms much lower in temp. Ground floor not too bad. Roof tiles on all the second floor rooms get full sun, but one exposed wall (with double glass sliding doors, double glass) get full on sun from about 09.00 am. The other exposed wall with 2 double glazed large windows from 10.00 am. These 2 exposed walls were quite hot to touch but we painted them with heat reducing paint (Home Pro) and that did reduce the temp. Had 2 contractors look at installing insulation (roll type), both declined because the roof cavity is too narrow and so much other stuff (drop down supports for the ceiling, wiring). Both also indicated they would not ask their staff to work in the ceiling cavity because of the extreme heat, any month in the year. But they did both offer to remove the gyprock ceiling, add the insulation and fix a wobbly ceiling fan from within the bed room then reinstall a new gyprock ceiling. It's a quite large room, less than 2 days to complete the work. Both quotes 4,000Baht. Late this year in cool months we will go ahead with the plan in the paragraph above. Already have air-con, took the room measurements to an air-con shop and they calculated how many BTU size air-con needed. LG.
  19. This subject has made the headlines again and again over many years. Is there any actual progress at all?
