  1. 40+ years of driving and no accidents. How about you ?
  2. Your nonsense facts dispute nothing. Is it time for a break yet?
  3. Typical of your usual posts, inaccurate information which you cite as fact "backed up" by a link to some obscure website which you either haven't bothered to read yourself or you have read it but have been either unable or unwilling to actually understand the information presented to you' However for some reason you feel compelled to make these irrational statements and proclamations on a regular basis , and now look (above) some poor soul even seems to agree with you, bless him. Maybe you have a follower now, I didn't need to refer to your link (in fact the link doesn't even work ) to tell you that you are talking complete rubbish again although just out of curiosity I typed it into google and of course it immediately confirmed what I am about to tell you Whilst there are indeed rules regarding driving hours in the UK. which are quite strictly enforced, I would have thought that you,especially as someone who claims to have been some sort of magistrate, would be fully aware that these rules apply only to drivers of commercial vehicles over a certain weight, I seriously hope you were never actually allowed to pass sentence on any unfortunate soul who was unlucky enough to end up in the magistrates court where you claim to have worked , Especially for traffic offences if this is indicative of your knowledge of the details of traffic law. Whether you personally agree or not ,there is no legal limit for drivers of private vehicles, people are expected to use their common sense, So what on earth are you talking about ? I must admit that the thought of somebody diligently complying with a non existent rule and then sanctimoniously berating a person who hasn't done likewise, to be highly amusing. How many hours have you wasted, parked up in laybys, waiting for the clock to tell you when you could "legally" continue, how did you ensure you never broke the roles ? lol did you have a tachograph fitted? At least in your imaginary utopian electric car world, companies like amazon coffee and 7/11 will be laughing all the way to the bank , as the number of service stations will need to increase exponentially just to cater for the aging incontinent expats whose range will be decreasing inline with that of their chinese batteries Anyway what kind of electric noddy car do you drive, ?
  4. If you don't feel safe driving for more than 4 hours you should not be driving anymore ! you should voluntarily surrender your licence. That would be better for the environment, and safer for other road users too. It will not charge up in the time it takes to drink a coffee, which would be 5 to 10 minutes for a normal person. you must drink extremely slowly
  5. i would very much doubt it nobody on here would be that sad but then again...... , words fail me
  6. Well that certainly addresses most concerns expressed by others on here, Not ! All sounds a bit surreal to me, how on earth can they tell what year any money I send here was originally earned? Cannot see it ending well though, not without a loss of face somewhere along the line and probably by somebody quite important
  7. Indeed, who could believe that innocent minded "families" would even consider holidaying in Thailand's drug hell? especially when they may well find themselves surrounded by prostitutes or even worse some of the prudes who like to whinge on here There are no "virtue signalling weed heads" they don't have time to virtue signal, at least not on here, as they spend most of their time responding to the idiotic assertations of the anti cannabis brigade Why on god's earth would you feel it necessary to impose a 30 day restriction of any sort ? and what's the purpose of your "weed licence". You sound like a real bundle of fun , not , What is it about cannabis that you think encourages people to try other drugs? after all, the gateway drug myth was debunked years ago. I mean just think about it Are you really trying to tell us that you actually believe that cannabis, a simple plant, has the unique ability to encourage those who ingest it to further sample multiple illegal substances, how on earth does it do that ? If that was actually true it would be phenomenal
  8. So what would happen at the departure gate when a tourist, turns up ready to go home, who on the spur of the moment, decided to extend their current stay for a month and when their current stay is added to a previous trip to Thailand, earlier in the year, it exceeds 180 days. They naturally didn't think to bring all their tax related documents on holiday with them, in fact , depending on their timing these documents may not even be available. How on earth are they to be expected to declare and prove their income back home and how on earth would a Thai official be able to check ? If they funded their stay using credit cards (or cash) how could anybody prove what they had actually spent? So realistically what could happen to them ? |Sent on their way with an IOU? Locked up until they pay their tax ? That would be ridiculous, Nothing will happen that's what, Also whoever suggested that banks might be able to withhold 15% of all monies originating from abroad until the sender could prove whether any tax due had been paid is taking scaremongering to a new level. I doubt anybody has any reason to be worried, except maybe those living here permanently, who receive some sort of dodgy tax free pension from the virgin islands or similar, they might want to revue their arrangements
  9. And what has happened? nothing last time I checked
  10. neither will it have any effect on the amount of it smoked by young people in issan
  11. Well I won't argue that it can't be dangerous, one time a small piece of burning hashish fell out of a joint and burnt a hole in my favorite shirt ! And back in the seventies a mate of mine got mugged and had his bike robbed on a council estate in liverpool when he went to buy some weed, so yes it can be risky stuff. My personal experience tells me that although having smoked cannabis habitually for over 40 years, periods of abstinence, often for months, cause no discomfort or ill effects , Neither have I been admitted to any psychiatric facility. Addiction is a myth as is your recently invented "cannabis use disorder" lol This is my personal lived experience so I am quite entitled to say it. You on the other hand have no actual experience of cannabis other than what you have scoured the internet for Don't bother posting any more links to your usual selection of fictional anti cannabis rubbish, your last lot were laughable, why not do your trolling elsewhere instead of coming here to cause trouble and spread your misinformation
  12. Well done. good man I feel the same about pla raa but until now have never bothered to make a public virtue signalling statement about it
  13. well nothing except that, just like alcohol with its "devastating effects" on youths ,, under 18's are not legally allowed to buy it Your "risk assessment" however is spot on , the benefits, of whatever it is you are referring to (presumably legalisation) cannot never outweigh any adverse effects for you, indeed the two will always be in perfect balance, because as an obvious "none user" the legal status of cannabis is of no consequence, it has no benefits for you, neither does it have any ill effects so no need to be "afraid" of anything If I didn't smoke cannabis I really would not have the slightest inclination to post on these cannabis threads, in the same way that I don't waste my time repeatedly commenting negatively on other threads regarding activities indulged in by other adults that I don't agree with. Why do the anti cannabis brigade see any cannabis related thread on this website as an opportunity to spout their tired old rhetoric? One could be forgiven for thinking it was just a form of "trolling" which is, I believe, a form of antagonistic argumentative behaviour normally exhibited by teenage girls on social media.
  14. Of course, once its illegal again only over 21's will have access to it won't they? Have you not realised that Theoretically anybody of any age could order anything online should we therefore ban everything
  15. And what name should we give to the condition that affects people, causing them to wish to impose their views on the rest of society, and restrict the choices available to other adults,based on their illusion of possessing superior knowledge. A condition so serious that it causes its sufferers to devote a large proportion of their free time to scouring the internet desperately searching for anything that reinforces their own baseless prejudices regarding cannabis and then deliberately targeting pro cannabis threads in which to re post that rubbish, in effect nothing more than trolling
  16. no they are the people who abide by the law, I asked about those who take advice, there is a difference. (they are called sheep) Were you really a magistrate?
  17. Doesn't speak a word of english? yet he asked you "what was wrong with it" and suggested that" if it didn't work you should buy a new one" he also managed to tell you he was "returning to the office" his english would appear to be better than your Thai. Anyway he's not stealing your water, he is stealing your electricity, so simply start by switching off the pump when you are not there or not using it for any length of time. Or as others have suggested re plumb the piping from the pump to your house effectively cutting him off, Rightly or wrongly you should expect some unpleasantness somewhere during the proceedings
  18. And on the other hand it might not If that "comprehensive" list of negative effects was even half true, then people would just not be smoking cannabis. Yet even with the plethora of similar negative information that you, have diligently sourced from all corners the internet, and after nearly 100 years of negative propaganda from the USA inspired war on cannabis people are still smoking aren't they. This is despite the absence of any comparable amount of information promoting or advocating the use of cannabis Do you ever get the feeling that its you against the rest of the world? I think there's a name for that condition.
  19. Obviously moderation is preferable to excess, but as usual government guidelines are always going to be set on the low side. 2 small beers 4 times a week is not "moderate" alcohol consumption, it is negligible alcohol consumption, probably wouldn't even put one over the drink driving limit ! The advisory limits are obviously a compromise, designed to appease over zealous doctors who really would prefer zero consumption, but the reality is that the limits are set so ridiculously low, that no normal person takes any notice, They should be, and generally are disregarded by most people, What sort of person follows advice from "the government" ?
  20. a modicum of intelligence or a sense of humour is all thats needed normally
  21. Why do people post links to rubbish like that site (drugs . com) look at some of the cr@p they publish -: "possibly"..."possibly associated with some cancers such as testicular cancer" really? Nothing to do with the fact that testicular cancer might be a real concern to the young men who just happen to be the target of this "advice" yet links to other cancers are unclear,. more unclear than "possibly associated" which probably means non existent . May cause a "mood disorder" what does that even mean? reading that rubbish would cause anybody to experience a mood disorder Some respiratory problems,, Ok maybe, but after how many hundreds or thousands of joints? Gastrointestinal issues, none of which would lead to the production of b/s like this list looks like tiredness, drowsiness and fatigue all require a seperate listing in an attempt to bulk the list out a bit and hidden in the middle of this rubbish "a false feeling of wellbeing" its not a false feeling its a real feeling. and, eventually, "getting high" just to put all the non indulgers straight, a feeling of well being and getting high are NOT considered as "side effects" by any users anywhere. They are the desired intentional primary effects Finally has any body anywhere ever experienced the "facial flushing" referred to in the link? somehow I doubt it very much but i can think of one who posts extensively on this subject who will claim to have tried many "addicts" in court exhibiting such damning physical evidence
  22. Sadly for you drinking is not illegal, I suggest you start a new thread on here promoting prohibition, good luck
  23. There you go again,,,," but but but Anutin said,,,," as I explained before, it doesn't matter what he said. The words that came out of his mouth are one thing, what gets written in the statute book is another, and how the laws are implemented is a another factor, your views don't come into it, thankfully But turning things round a bit, if this whole issue was surrounding a U turn over the recent proposals to derestrict artisan beers, forcing small micro breweries to pour thousands of gallons of premium artisan ale down the drain. I would bet a weeks wages that you, like all the other hypocrites would soon find some sympathy for those affected and would be complaining how unfair it all was
