Frank Tyson: Video shows moments before black man dies in police custody
RobU replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It is common sense not to kneel on someone's back in the manner shown. It restricts breathing by compressing the ribcage. He died from asphyxia because the arresting officers were untrained in restraint procedures and incompetent -
Paetongtarn apologises but vows to continue posting
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So you are trying to say that no child ever plays with its granddad's toys or belongings therefore they must belong to the children? -
What he did was enforce the law. The corruption of slipping a few thousand baht to immigration to get around the rules for visas was one of the things he cracked down on. It seems many people think that police corruption should be stopped as long as it isn't police corruption that they find advantageous.

Of course they have, this is a last ditch attempt to owst him or as least slur his name so he is dropped from running for chief of police. The methodology is not valid and they know it however they hope it delays his career sufficiently to be able to hide their misdemeanours.

PEA advises on cost-effective air conditioners amid Thai heat
RobU replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Ours went off last night for about 2 hours, first time this year. Last year we had no power outages whatsoever which was incredible. I think solar panels and batteries are my next big purchase -
PEA advises on cost-effective air conditioners amid Thai heat
RobU replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They forget to say that the larger the room volume the more it will cost to cool. I have divided both our bedrooms Scandinavian style with glass wall dividers and a sliding door, so that one half holds the bed only and the other half holds the wardrobes etc. i.e. a dressing room and small sitting room. Therefore a much smaller volume to cool at night and during the day in the dressing/sitting room but still have the sensation of relative spaciousness. Each original bedroom was L6m x W3m x H3m. Our living room is huge and costs a fortune to cool during the day. Hence looking at getting solar panels for use during the day -
House committee finds CIA at fault in investigation on sexual assaults
RobU replied to Social Media's topic in World News
A highly secretive organisation using it's requirements for secrecy to hide misdemeanours and abuse selected staff for the pleasure of senior staff. Sounds about right. -
I am a former registered nurse. I worked in the operating room in the UK. Basically there is no need to wear a mask in the OR so the male dominated theatre technicians stopped wearing them. Yet the female dominated Nursing staff insisted on keeping them. The reason being that even the plainest woman looks sexy when only her eyes are visible. My female colleagues paid great attention to using eye makeup which enhanced this feature

I had a similar problem water main burst in the village all the water from my tank drained into the village system even though the stop cock was closed. Faulty stop cock which wasn't a apparent when the village water supply was at normal pressure

Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
300 baht is peanuts tourists and potential tourists won't even notice it. This is a roundabout way of raising money for government coffers. That's fine if it goes into improving the infrastructure, but I seriously doubt it. It will probably be used to fund bonuses and pay rises for civil servants -

Phuket Hospital Appeals for Respectful Conduct from Russian Patients

He's a troll winding you up. It's obvious to anyone with a brain cell that you were not being racist but merely pointing out the rarity of black african people in nordic countries, which is a fact. -
Songkran Splashing Sparks Fight Between Pattaya Win Driver and Indian Tourist
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Still no excuse to try and grab a 7 year old child. It's a tradition of many years and is promoted worldwide. I spent 2 very happy days with my nieces and nephews throwing water and having water thrown back from complete strangers. He knew what he was letting himself in for when he decided to come to Thailand in the hottest months of the year during Songkran in my province it is very much for children. -
Songkran Splashing Sparks Fight Between Pattaya Win Driver and Indian Tourist
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The water thrower was a 7 year old boy. I doubt whether it was a 'soaking'. The tourist must have been aware of the time of year and what happens just an ignorant pig. -
Not het up, not racist just making a reasonable observation. You shouldn't post your Far Eastern racist anti British propaganda in a forum where at least one of the members (me) has a qualification in semantic logic. Your language is the product of an education using terminology only used by China, Russia and their totalitarian associates.
