  1. So now they talk about band-aid ideas. What about a comprehenice re-think / re-write of all the aws about gun ownership and serious/continuous controls and much improved laws to strongly reduce the numbers of guns in the community?
  2. Their video report on this, including footage inside the main rooms of the pre-school and some interviews has already been shown on the CNN INternational news several times, several days ago.
  3. Did he lecture them? What did he say to them? Do you know? Can he speak English? Can any of the current batch of snr. police speak English?
  4. Already seen the footage on CNN several times, a couple of days ago.
  5. So now know all rooster is a medical expert and epidemiology expert, really?
  6. Maybe boring to you but to me it's a situation where a country making economic and democratic progress has been violently invaded by a dangerous thug, causing much death and destruction. Ukraine didn't ask for this invasion. Have some respect. There's also the point that Putin wants to return to the old USSR set up and has no hesitation to use severe violence. If he wins Ukraine there's several more old USSR 'countries' who will be next and have little power/resources to fight back. A domino effect, and where does it end? Boring, so I guess you don't care. Perhaps worth thinking ahead.
  7. and on less than logical support for a long-term proven liar and conman.
  8. And, if the same as in many previous years they get some remission on their sentence and they are not that far from their release date. Also, the only prisioners allowed to join this activity are those who are totally trusted to not run away, they realize that would be stupid. And they are not chained together - they are not a chain gang.
  9. The Ukraine war is way more than a yawn with thousands killed because a nasty despot wants to take their land and their lives, with torture, to get it. Have some respect.
  10. Interesting. I'm also aware of the massive numbers of people in the Philippines carrying handgunds. Once visited a big company oil refinery an hour out of Manila, 90% of the staff on duty carrying handguns. Like many situations in the Phils. gang warfare with shooting common and had happened many times, rounds bouncing off / penetrating processing/pressure vessels, pipes etc. Normal for the Phils.
  11. Just announced, they're going to do an autopsy on him again. Why? Are they saying there's doubts the first autopsy wasn't accurate or wasn't performed correctly? Nothing ever seems to be done correctly! Until we get much better quality, more sincere, more ethical people in snr. positions nothing will change.
  12. Or put it another way, what value added, unique and highly intelligent better than average contribution can they make to the development of Thailand and a better quality and equality of life for all Thais? None! This is what puts Singapore way ahead, all the ministers / permanent heads of ministries are the cream of Singapores' capability. They shine again and again. Plus Singapore a long time ago realized that if you want the best you have to pay for it. The ministers / headsand seniors are paid the same as the captains of industry in the private sector. It works.
  13. Further, If you are renting a house or apartment you'll need to submit a full signed rental agreement (all pages) in your name, this will also be used as proof of your domicile address in Australia. You also need to submit (proof of ID and domicile address) a paid utility bill: electricity, gas landline telephone etc. Mobile phone bills are not ccepted to prove ID or domicile address. Australian bank statements showing your name and domicile address (must all be the same address) are accepted for ID and domicile address. If you have internet banking, for many banks you can update the address yourself online. In your Assets and Income statement you need to give details of what property you own in Australia. All of the above is automatically 'assessed' during the processing of your OAP application to check if you are entitled to 'Rent Assistance'. Is you are entitled to Rent Assistance it will be backdated to the date you lodged your OAP application, and the 'Rent Assistance backpay' included in the first payment you receive along with the actul OAP money and energy allowance backdated to the date you applied for the OAP. This first payment is deposited to your nominated bank the day after your OAP has been approved.
  14. What would be better news is that because he's a convicted drug runner and spent 5 years in jail he's not allowed, by law (and common sense) to ever hold any position whatever in a Thai political party for life, prohibited for life from running as a candidate for any political party or as an independent and probibited for life from holding any position funded by or handling Thai taxpayers funds. Further he should be encouraged to leave Thailand for a nice beach vacation then be prohibited from re-entering Thailand for life.
  15. Shooter, ex cop, shot himself not long after the sad incident, his body found quickly.
  16. I've noticed some cars, in disabled spots, with an official sticker on the inside of the wind screen, maybe 10 cm X 10 cm with a wheelchair on the sticker.
  17. Clamps also won't deter selfish rich hi-so folks, just task a low level employee to get the clamp removed and bring the car home.
  18. Or, why not call Bangkok Bank call centre and ask them if you can deposit it into your BBL acount, cost etc?
  19. Perhaps even hallucinations...
  20. True, the subject is: Banking: Risk Manangement Banks all over the world use pretty much the exact same principles.
  21. And nowadays Thai banks prefer to use the Thai ID number if you have one, rather than your original passport number. For this purpose most/all banks will accept your Thai pink plastic ID card or the Tabien Baan book. Banks prefer your Thai ID number because it's for life whereas the passsport number changes every 5 or 10 years and needs to be updated at your bank.
  22. There's also a numbering protocol of 99 or 10 for land which has no other land/houses nearby therefore no other house/building numbers. So what's possible is the first house that appear in the whole vicinity is 99/1. My very old English neighbor just mentioned that two hundred years ago and more the numbering of houses was a total mess but during the industrial revolution and the appearance of row houses the numbering started to be logical and this started a trend towards sequential numbering.
