US Embassy Refuses to Pay Β£14.6m London Congestion Charge Bill
RobU replied to Social Media's topic in World News
This is regurgitated news. It was reported by the BBC over 3 years ago and has once again resurfaced on the BBC website. The amount has increased but the circumstances are the same. The fines will never be paid because of diplomatic immunity. -
Frustrated son attacks late-arriving rescue crew, causing father's death

More accurately. The son often acted aggressively due to substance abuse causing mental health issues. -
One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
RobU replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Turbulence is not necessarily visible unless water vapour (clouds) is present so pilots cannot avoid it unless it has been reported to them from the ground observatories. Air pockets can occured in clear, otherwise untroubled, sky and you don't know they are there until you hit them. And the plane drops suddenly hundreds of feet because the air pressure in that air pocket is considerably less and the wings cannot provide adequate lift -

I agree with you. This used to be a good forum with references and links to articles in other publications. The Thaiger was noted for it's atrocious reporting standards, zero facts checking and lack of editorial oversight. I suspect, as someone else has said, that articles from other publications have been fed into the ChatGpt AI and it's output published without anybody actually reading it prior to publication Apparently this AI is also better at translation than Google Translate. I am searching now for a another forum the Thaiger has ruined Asean Now with plagiarism and stupidity missing out relevant details or publishing outright lies, as in this case -

There was no signal from the pilot the air pocket they hit was totally unexpected -
One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
RobU replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I suspect that there was no warning of the turbulence and the aircraft unexpectedly hit an air pocket and dropped sharply. How many people unbuckle in preparation to go to the loo or to stand up and walk around as recommended to prevent deep vein thrombosis during a long haul flight at any given time? The number of people injured is consistent with that proportion of the passengers. -
Thanks I have forwarded a number of emails as attachments I may have forwarded a couple of them twice, I apologise if so Cheers RobU

Hi I am receiving emails about Asean Now threads that I have never looked at. As if I was following that thread. These emails have been occuring for the past 2 weeks. Today my inbox was inundated with this spam. Can you please stop sending these spurious emails. Cheers RobU

Poll Reveals Majority of Thais Back Reclassifying Marijuana as Illegal
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This article is pure plagiarism copying directly from an article in another English language publication but, as usual omitting other important facts https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/19/nida-poll-majority-of-thais-support-reclassifying-cannabis-as-narcotic-public-backs-medical-use-over-recreational/ -
British family leaves UK for Thailand for lower costs of living
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
She appears to own an online gift shop. Basically acting as an intermediary between the gift producer who packs and delivers the gift and the customer. She will hold no stock just simply passing the order to the company that produces the gift and taking a commission. -

RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's the Thaiger, publication of half truths and omissions gathering news from other online sources, rewriting it, omitting important facts then translating the finished article from Thai to English. Not reporters, just collectors and correlators and not very good at it either. -
Jeremy Clarkson Reclaims Title of UK's Sexiest Man 2nd Consecutive Year
RobU replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Still no reason for Clarkson to scream at him and punch him. He couldn't get a steak cooked to Clarkson's taste. The kitchen got it wrong. He apologised and said he would get it sorted, then bully boy Clarkson kicked off. -

RobU replied to Social Media's topic in World News
He was very much junior to Clarkson no where near the income level. It was a team not a hierarchical structure Clarkson abused and punched him because he didn't procure a steak to Clarkson's taste most certainly not a senior producer https://www.quora.com/Why-did-the-BBC-fire-Jeremy-Clarkson-What-was-his-punishment-for-getting-into-trouble-with-a-producer-on-the-show-Top-Gear-TV-series -

US Considers Criminal Prosecution Against Boeing for 737 Max Crashes

Good. Executives of Boeing literally got away with murder, because they paid blood money. Individuals who oversaw this incompetent and dangerous system and tried to blame the pilots need to be prosecuted and imprisoned -

Midnight Mayhem: Tiger on the Prowl Alarms Thailand Locals
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
It was a small cub probably curious and playful originally then became frightened by the crowds of noisy people. I doubt whether anyone could pick up a grown tiger and throw it in the back of a truck.
