    I cancelled a trip to Hua Hin over Christmas because I thought if another lockdown happens, I would not be able to get back to Chiang Rai.

    I just hope the provincial government does not close golf courses and swimming pools like they did last time. I'll be happy to comply with closure orders when someone is able to demonstrate a coronavirus cluster at either.


    So do I but you’ve got to get ahead of the virus not wait for it to appear else you’ll end up in the mess Johnson is making in the U.K. ! 
     

    Gym closure hurt me the most last time followed by golf courses - though in the last lockdown there was always a bar prepared to serve you.

      How about yourself ?

    Do you think that the UK should receive food aid from UNICEF ?


    If I thought you had the intellectual capacity to handle this I would be almost tempted to reply!

     

    However if you believe hungry U.K. kids should receive no support then that tells us quite a lot about you. Does it matter a <deleted> where it comes from as long as they get a decent meal in them !

      My point was that numerous other posters (who sit on your side of the fence) made valid reasons as to why the UK deserves food aid more than African and I agreed with their point of view  .

      So, if you disagree with them, write a reply to them .

    Why not criticise UNICEF for taking food from Africa and giving it to the UK ?

    It must be rather confusing for your side , to celebrate the UK needing food aid , at the expense of African kids .

    You seem to want to have your cake and eat it 

     

    Know when to stop digging chap

    Is that why the average man in the EU street has little to no idea of what the EU has been doing all around him for years?

     

    I daresay Dimitri Rogoff, president of Normandy's regional fisheries committee or Olivier Lepretre, who also serves as vice-president of France’s CNPMEM Fishermen’s Committee and president of the Hauts-de-France Regional Committee, may have noticed an article or two before they discarded their chip wrappers. They are both up in arms at Macron and Barniers failures. French fisherman, Jean-Yves Noel, warned UK ships and lorries will face a blockade if there is a no deal Brexit. He commented: “If we can’t fish in their waters, they can’t sell their fish here." “We will block their boats and lorries, that is for sure.”

    The Irish fishermen must have heard some rumours somewhere too. Seán O’Donoghue, chief executive of Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation, who represent Donegal fishermen, said the concession would be an “unmitigated disaster” for the Irish fishing industry.

     

    Is there some sort of EU press censorship? So long as some europosters in Thailand haven't read anything about their negotiator's failure, I suppose all will be well with them.

     


    It is obvious you don’t have the first clue of how the EU works, and even less on economics,  outside of what The Sun tells you. 
     

    and still the obsession with fish (0.1% gdp) continues ....

     

    ????????

    This is my bet too: I see a deal tonight as unlikely even if at the moment, they are negotiating.. 

     

    I think we are heading for a repeat of the Withdrawal Agreement. Boris will accept before the deadline, he'll get the deal ratified by the parliament, signed by the queen, say it's the best deal ever. Then he will try to renege again to keep the benefits and reject the constraints. 

     

    The whole deal hangs on the punitive clauses, not the word of the UK. 


    Its so embarrassingly transparent - Bojo tells everyone on a daily basis how far apart they are then at the last minute shortly after he caves in, will announce he’s got a deal. What a hero ! What a statesman ???? 

     

    It will have the sun readers fooled but no one else

    Unilever picks London as its home over Rotterdam

     

    Anglo-Dutch conglomerate denies U-turn after finally choosing the UK capital over Dutch city as its HQ

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jun/11/unilever-picks-london-as-its-home-over-rotterdam

     

    Unilever, you may have heard of them, they make Dove shampoo, Marmite, Colman's mustard, Hellmans mayo, Walls ice-cream, Magnum, Domestos, Sunlight, Axe/Lynx underarm sprays Ben and Jerrys, etc etc have chosen to base themselves in postBrexit Britain rather than Rotterdam inside the EU. Maybe their drivers and hauliers thought differently? Who cares what the delivery crew thought, end of the day big companies base themselves in the best place for business. And this end result is one of the worlds biggest companies just dumped the EU like a hot potato and based themselves in lovely Britain, a country that is about to be back in control. Wonderful.

    Unilever 55555 

     

    Desperate much ? 
     

    Do you understand the word ‘Industries’

    I told you (in your original guise) that picking fruit & veg was the norm during school holidays in my youth; as was clearing rabbit warrens with a ferret down the ol' Y fronts or a trip to the coast armed with mackerel feathers. If I were in UK today i'd be clearing invasive crayfish from the waterways as that to is a 'Brits-won't-do-it' affair in the eyes of remainers yet they're easy to catch, delicious to eat & it's FREE to do so.

    I have read that a couple of times and not for the first time I haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about !!

    yep I saw that, so pre Brexit 10,000 permits for those evil foreigners to come and pick fruit and veg for the bone idle Brits too lazy to do it for themselves (as everyone told the government they would be) - next year 30,000 !!!!

     

    haha Brexiteers - it’s like shooting fish in a barrel !

    UNICEF are  publicly seeking donations in the U.K from the General Public .

    The £ 25 K worth of food they gave to the UK , wouldnt pay for much advertising .

    They did it as a stunt to advertise themselves and receive more in donations 


    Who has told you all this ? Do you hear voices ? 
     

    You’re claiming wild assumptions as facts which isn’t making you sound too clever. 
     

    As for claiming one hungry child can’t be as hungry as another hungry child and therefore should be denied food is frankly stupid!

      That was a publicity stunt by UNICEF .

    Whoever decided that the UK kids needed food, moreso that many other hungry kids in the World , really needs to get sacked .

       He is depriving genuinely hungry kids in the World a meal and giving the food to a Country where its not needed just for publicity .

      He needs to go


    Where have they said it was a publicity stunt ? 
     

    So hungry U.K. kids of which there are shedloads aren’t genuine ? They’re faking it right ? 
     

    Stuff the hungry U.K. kids right ? and Brexiteers love to claim they’re patriotic !

    Whereas the EU thought YOU would dictate the conditions and UK would have to accept. How has that turned out for you?

     

    Looks like the gun boats will be sent out to protect our waters now. I hear they will be requested to also protect Irish waters from EU fish thieves. 

    You really do have a bizarre obsession with fish ! 
     

    I note recent unanswered questions have been a tad difficult for you but here’s an easy one, I would hope, is fish more important to the well being of the U.K. than unfettered access to the single market ? 
     

    Only tonight it’s Boris who has been given that very ultimatum - right now he will be panicking like <deleted> that he’s swapped some cod for a huge trade arrangement !!
