Getting really serious (and this is true) Adolphe Sax was Belgian. He invented the saxophone! And running a London pub is Belgian Frans Schepperdsbusch

well, if you're going to get serious, Rene Magritte. If we aren't careful we may end up with more than six.......

that's Liverpool. You can see the wheels have been nicked.

that's rather the point, isn't it!

Bertrand is not French but Belgian. One of the apocryphal "six famous Belgians" that comprise him, Jacky Ickx, TinTin, Hercule Poirot and one other.

No Good g0d no! No But I tried my SIM in another phone that Ikeep as a spare, and the dreaded alert did not appear although the dreaded DTAc cr@p did. I suspect that without rooting (the phone, that is), I'm not going to solve this.

No, of course not. I'm in BKK, where did you think I was?

You would think in England it would be sirening 24 hours a day. What a #####

ok so you don't see it, which was part of the question some days ago. The source was the one you now quote. What's this about "your phone (or your government)"? Helpful as ever.............

cheers but the last of these is already turned off, yet as I said earlier the app is still in the apps-list and has no means of turning off all the permissions. What puzzles me most is that I am fairly sure it only appeared today, or very recently. I'm it may be a security problem.

4 years old (the actual card, not just the a/c)

Cheers, but not possible. The dtac app just automatically reappears every time I insert the sim. It's usually quite benign - but I cant see whether it's caused this alerts thing.

Where's this? I never have a problem locally (Samut Prakan) with the few meds I need. 3 pharmacies on the high street and all have staff any time I go in.

(should have said it's android). That occurred to me. dtac installed its app as soon as I inserted the sim, so perhaps it could be. But why now and, more significantly, how do I get rid of it? I have already disabled alerts in Settings (>advanced settings >wireless emergency alerts) but it still appears on the Apps list and shows no means of turning off permissions.

Coincidence? This am I read (in a media we don't mention) about a 'mobile phone emergency warning system ready next year'. Hours later, looking for something else, I see an app called "wireless emergency alerts", which I'll swear was not there last time I looked. it is in the app list in Settings but no icon on app pages, and it has all manner of permissions I can't turn off. All I can do is turn it to silent. I'm on dtac. Anyone else got this, or has it always been there? Should I worry? My phone is quite new and not cheap, so I don't really want to root it and risk bricking it.

simple. Ban media globally from covering any news from Thailand, eg shootings, scams, stuff we are not allowed to mention, etc. Include news about Thailand, eg from New York about stuff we can only read in foreign media. Good luck with that.

so how come you know she's going to "sue"? Nothing to that effect in the reports quoted. Tell us please WHO she will sue? Maybe you know the result too? How do you know the employer is female? I assume she will go for maximum compensation for the victim's family (and her company), which is no more than reasonable.

PM Advocates for Strengthening Gun Laws Absolute standard proforma response every time someone gets shot. Yawn.

Mate, you must be really special - the rules don't apply to you. Don't want to comply? Bye. And what's "a temporary long term stay not a retirement stamp requisit"? Another special one for you and the wife? Get real or sell the condo.

most of the world is overfilled with"dumbos". Why pick on Africa. Ever been there?

About 40 years ago, that was an ad for VW in the US. Finally got to you, I guess.

Thanks for this, I had no idea. Tell you what. You stand at the junction off Sathorn, and every time Plod comes out of his box, you explain it to him.

Yes, it's all surprisingly subjective. I gave up driving in BKK some time ago but I do recall getting a ticket for turning right from a "no right-turn" lane and, a week later, getting a ticket from a different BIB for NOT turning right from the same lane (Sathorn area). Arrows? They can't even see the Indians here..............

He was great in Blazing Saddles, too.
