Bert got kinky

DIKTHAI, why are you even asking this question? On your profile you show your location as Bangsu. Just stick your head out of the window and take a look if any of the locals are not wearing masks.

No private manufacturing company in Thailand observes anywhere near 28 public holidays a year, so these extra days will have little to no effect on the export market.

99% certain my private sector employer will be ignoring this announcement, I can’t say I blame them. Civil servants will love the extra holidays And that is it in a nutshell. The majority of Thai private companies do not follow all of the holidays otherwise they would not get any production done. The company that I work for gives us 13 days of public holidays and around that figure seems to be the normal. These extra holidays will be enjoyed by Government workers. As for the mention of '8 days in the UK', I would gladly swap to the UK system. I like many employees in Thailand work a 6 day week as standard, so those extra 5 days are swallowed up by the 52 Saturdays that I work. The only time that I worked Saturdays in the UK, I got paid time and a half.

That will be ignored by the anti-mask snowflake brigade, it doesn't fit in with their false narrative.

I don't believe much of this story, and it's being sensationalised. The 'confused' smileys that you are getting after your posts is because you seem to be posting onto the wrong thread. The reason for this assumption is that your posts are not making any sense at all (to an adult). Sensationalised? Did you even read the story? The dogs had to be removed from their original home because they were terrorizing the locals and then went on to do the same in their new home. Are you suggesting that the locals in both locations were equally sensationalising the situation? Did you not read in the original post that the police were 'organizing compensation discussions', do you think that the compensation was for the dog's owner? Did you bother to watch the video and see the man whose arm was bandaged and in a sling, was this sensationalised? Or the neighbours who came out to applaud the police for getting these potential killers off the street, do you really believe that their clapping was a show of support for the dogs or their owner? Really, if you are going to present an argument you should at least read the article that you are arguing about and maybe have some (even a tiny bit) of knowledge on the subject.

I think that I've got it. Is the answer 'artichoke'?

Is 'the government' that you refer to the Thai government, you are asking for logic from a Thai government? ????????

Thank you for continuing to make 'silly' statements and proving my point. ????

Unless you really are a moron, stop making moronic statements.

Some days more than others. When I wrote it, I was definitely serious.

Due to the major construction projects leading up to the handover, there were plenty of jobs (jobs aplenty) for Gweilo expats in HK during the 80s. As such I did an OSHA safety supervisor's course for the construction business. It was a mixed class with about half of the class being expats and although most of the Brits (myself included) only attended a few times and spent most of the course time 'on the wag' in the Galley Bar (Jardine House), absolutely nobody failed the course. Getting those projects finished before the Red Dawn marched over the border was the priority. BTW, safety rules for the bamboo scaffolding was part of the course.

What painter died?

Your board name says it all. Both sides were at fault but you red sheep will always try to make out that your red masters did absolutely nothing wrong. Pathetic.

That's strange, I cannot recall ever being married to her.

No wonder kids are growing up soft, Mrs. Thatcher would have stopped this nonsense. ????

I'm currently winning (just about) my battle, which while being self-medicated, was not all self. Good support is vital, my wife is my 'June Carter' and helps me to walk my line but I also had to talk to a few of my co-workers about my condition. I wake up every day now and say to myself "try your best to make today a positive day" and I then carry that out, just trying my best. At the moment that seems to be working for me. I don't know whether I am just on a rise and if I will sink again but at the moment I am trying. To all fellow sufferers on here, I really hope that you get through you dark period. I found that it helps you to talk with someone who has been there but most important is to talk to your loved ones about it.

Good question O.P., posts like this remind us that there is another side to normality. My question is, why do birds suddenly appear?

Yet when the police do not do their job, you all complain about that. It is the law and if you break the law (especially knowingly), you have to expect and accept to face the consequences.

I'm predicting that the follow up story will clear up the fact that she had kindly lent the car to her gardener/cook/maid, who is extremely sorry for any problems she may have caused.

I no longer buy green bananas. ????

For God's sake, take off your red tinted spectacles. Yingluck, Thaksin, Prayut, Samak, Chuan, they're all as corrupt as each other and everyone of them bent the country over and shafted it. Why are you so intent on defending corrupt politicians?

Forcing my beliefs by correcting a grammar error, you really are clutching at straws, aren't you.

You really need to learn to read.. I stated that her 'puppet master' had stripped the country's resources, so any court decision about Yingluck has no bearing on the Master Shin's actions.
