  1. I was being facetious, as for using bags of almonds as the delivery system, there's always a first time, or maybe she baked them a cake with almond icing????
  2. To those whom think the death penalty is cruel. This man murdered a toddler. If he has a conscience he will be haunted by that for the rest of his life. It would be kind to hang him and put him out of his misery
  3. As I said in the previous reports comments: Perhaps she gave her victims a packet of poisoned almonds. The reason they dropped dead in various locations is because that is where they chose to open and eat the poisoned almonds. Perhaps many more escaped death because they didn't like almonds. Perhaps there are many more potential victims with unopened packets of poisoned almonds given by her as a gift
  4. Perhaps the victims were offered a bag of poisoned almonds as a treat from a friend. Perhaps she attempted, and failed, with many more people, because they didn't like almonds
  5. My cousin calls them pick up points for the emergency services
  6. Raising the minimum wage for someone who holds a degree?????????????????????? As Terry Pratchet said: "In most cases, a higher education gives not higher skills but a better range of excuses (for incompetence and corruption)"
  7. 427000 baht and a phone might cover the plane tickets. Either the thieves are stupid or this is a setup. I note that because of this and other incidents, Chinese nationals now have to gain approval from the Chinese Embassy if they apply to extend their stay in Thailand (?!) Conspiracy theory: these attacks are staged so that the Chinese government has further excuse to monitor its citizens abroad. The victims are innocent of political motive. The perpetrators are not. Illegal Chinese police stations are being closed down in other countries and their staff arrested but I see nothing for Thailand.
  8. Mmmm... Tasty up there along with bees in honeycomb and ants eggs. Actually just ordinary cake shaped to look like the animals
  9. took me a month before i first tried it i think it is far better than paper an more hygienic. unfortunately up here in Issan the water is cut off for 15 or more hours a day and the pressure reduced at other times our water tank isn't sited high enough to give adequate BG pressure so i'm reduced to using paper again and getting the septic tank pumped out early. looking to have a bore hole made so we are not reliant on the water utility company (we're not far from the Mekong). I'll be taking one or two of these devices back to the UK with me
  10. not an accident, it was an incident that could have been avoided
  11. I gave CPR to a lady for 15 minutes who had collapsed with Bradycardia. At the time I was quite muscular in the top half of my body so all I had to do to give adequate compression was lean into the sternum and keep my elbows locked. Even then it was very strenuous and exhausting. If this man was slight build he would have to put a lot of effort into the job, increasing his blood pressure and potentially risking ruptured blood vessels. R.I.P. mate 'job's a gud 'un'
  12. Working under dangerous conditions to find food and things to sell R.I.P. Sweetheart.
  13. A clever promotional visit to enhance (Market) Penetration and to be seen coming (to Thailand) in front of many people
  14. It would be useful and good reporting if the author of this story also published the name, address, phone number and email address of all the 'Authorised' passport renewal centres or directed the reader to an official web page where these centres are recorded
  15. To put This in context The motorcycle riders had been complaining about their neighbour allowing his dog to bark all night and defecate indiscriminately in public areas. The self entitled bully boy of a neighbour then knocked them off their motorbike with his car and reversed back to hit them again. He then returned with his gang and fired 4 shots, fortunately not harming anyone.
  16. I seem to have oil or something on my screen I can't see the images properly very unclear seem very blurred in important places I have tried using screen cleaner, alas to no avail????
  17. Thank you but even worded the way you say I would be very dubious. Ivorbiggun2 went on to prove he was trolling. Ignoring the fact that I had thanked contributors for useful answers and continuing the argument he also made what could be seen a disparaging comment (in the way it is worded) querying why I wanted my name in the blue book. My opinion is that he is one of the trolls who cruise this site looking for victims to insult and derogate for daring to show lack of understanding.
  18. Unfortunately it's not the police who hand out punishment it's the courts and lackadaisical justice system. I suspect that if the police handed out punishment the punishment would be severe and brutal with the perpetrators receiving the same treatment they hand out
  19. Thanks for your support youreavinalaff. Ivorbiggun2 Is a classic Troll i.e. hijacking the thread by creating an argument over a related but irrelevant issue. I recognised immediately what he was trying to do that's why I answered with 'because'. if I had fallen for his trap he would probably then have gone on to ridicule or disparage me. My query has been answered by yourself and others thank you.
  20. Thanks to everyone for responding. I was just a little miffed at having another delay. I have the relevant details and, as recommended, I will supply them. A bit cheesed off that they couldn't be bothered to inform me of this requirement when the 1 month waiting period started or during that period l. Instead they waited for us to come into the Amphur after the 1 month period was ended
  21. Exactly my point thanks youreavinalaff Why? Is irrelevant to my question
  22. We have been attempting to get my name in the registration book for my wife's property for nearly 3 months now. Initially someone (i will not say who) 'requested' we donate 10,000 baht to the Red Cross, which I refused. To-ing and Fro-ing with paperwork culminated in us being told that we must wait a month after the paperwork was approved. We returned to the register office after a month to be told that I must supply my mother and father's details. Is this a requirement to be registered in the book or is it just stalling?
