Similarly i have an Onkyo Home Cinema Receiver which was working fine then suddenly cut out, no power. It is only 3 years old so i don't want to just throw it away but it's too heavy to post anywhere like Bangkok for repairs. So i am looking for any local repair shops in Pattaya. Will look at that one opposite Friendship.

Or willing to take offers from any one with electrical knowledge who may want to fix it.

From memory it is about 50 meters toward third road. I hope they are still doing business.

Debating the justification of the rebellion is a different matter altogether... but that will not change the fact that treason was committed.

I guess there was a lot of that until the empire was destroyed

Why? I was clear... because it amuses

 

what treachery? British officers and citizens betrayed their nation by rebelling against it... they were traitors.

The empire was given several chances to stop the heavy taxation and tactics, chose to be even more onerous, then the inevitable happened. It was a predictable response

Hello,

there used to be a repair shop on south road opposite friendship supermarket towards third road. Not sure if they are still there though.v

I read an interesting article about this today.

 

There are basically two options:

a) He is declared guilty

b) He is declared to be above the law

I wonder how the senators will decide. And in case they decide he is above the law then I hope every one of them will be prosecuted for willfully ignoring the constitution.

 

"This will be a pivotal moment for America. If the Senate does not call the witnesses, it is in effect saying that Mr Trump is above the law. That would be an extraordinary abdication of constitutional responsibility."

Is this article written by objective unbiased opinion writers? Or is trying to spin an opinion based on a desired narrative? Be honest

“The wise, very wise, founding fathers” did not construct what is now the electoral college... in fact, the devolution of democracy, as seen by changes to their vision, upset those wise men.

 

Madison and Hamilton (architects of the electoral college) were so upset by what they saw as a distortion of the original intent that they advocated a constitutional amendment to prevent anything other than the district plan

As an aside, it amuses me to think that some people feel that the founders were somehow wiser than modern scholars, despite over 200 years of learning since the treachery of the colonies.

What treachery are you trying to infer here? And why?

This whole thing seems remarkably orchestrated and phony
