It was one arrest, that's all, but you're suggesting that no other police work was going on in the Phuket force while this man was being arrested, yes? 

Perhaps not, but where are accompanying stories concerning other criminals being apprehended on the same day and time?

You think that every arrest is reported to the media?  Seriously?

Yes, show me the quote were I said he should or shouldn't win. "End this nonsense", to quote you, if you can't.

I didn't claim you said he should or shouldn't win, you made that up.

From your post...

"But you were commenting on winning. You claimed you were not, I said you were...".

That is buying cannabis, not selling publicly.

 

This discussion started when a poster claimed that pot was legal for sale in the US. i.e there were cannabis cafes and boutiques selling it to the public throughout the US  It is not, apart from in two states.  Selling cannabis that way is not the same as an individual buying his own, which may be  legal. It is the selling that I was commenting about.

What States are those?

You don't know how to use Google?

and repairing cars which would be 100% written off in the West.

What's your basis for saying that as though it is something peculiar to Thailand and bad?    Written-off vehicles are frequently repaired in the west, insurers' writing-off of vehicles is a financial decision.

What have his politics got to do with it when he doesn't decide who gets the award?

In short, he is not "Norway"!

In short, nominations can be made by anyone who qualifies, it does not have to be a country!

The subject is "legal sale on organised premises", not "legal purchase".  There's a difference.

Not sure what talking about but it is much more than two states.

"You seem confused".

Not at all, I wasn't commenting on who would win, seems that it's you who may be "confused", not me.

But now you're saying you were not commenting on who will win, in other words, 'who gets the reward'.

No, I never gave an opinion on whether he should win.

Plenty of time for that to be sorted out, he's nominated for 2021.

Why in god's name would Thunberg get nominated for the Peace Prize?

2 years in a row. She was expected to win last year. Trump was not even shortlisted last year. Now go cry a bucket over this. 

So she lost two years on the run; who exactly "expected" her to win? 

Trump has been nominated this year so, to quote your own wise words, go cry a bucket over that.

It is because of his political opinions that he decided to nominate Trump.

How do you know that, do you know either of them?  But, so what?  Perhaps he made his nomination based on objective observations.

Again, so what, what have his politics got to do with it when he doesn't decide who gets the award?

It wasn’t a gift from Norway, it was an individual rightwing Norwegian lawmaker, who incidentally shares Trump’s adulation of Putin.

Speaking to CBS, Tybring-Gjedde’s daughter Mathilde, who is a Norwegian member of parliament for the centre-right Conservative Party, hit out at Trump’s nomination.

"The prize is given to those who have 'done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.' Donald Trump does not come to mind when I read this description," she told the news outlet.

"Tybring-Gjedde’s daughter Mathilde hit out at Trump’s nomination".

Ignorance.

Have you seen how un-smooth the roads are? or the potholes? Ferraris, need pristine road conditions, unless every journey you wish to be doing a claim against the insurance for the front and wheels.

A lot of Ferarri owners in Thailand would disagree with that generalism.  Ferarris do not "need pristine road conditions" anymore than many other cars do, they're all designed for road use and they all move about on those wheels that you seem to think is such a big problem.

And even with 10M readies in the safe not all businessmen are bent.

I seem to remember not long ago a Thai politican who was robbed of a few 100 million Baht he kept in his cellar. Just normal practice in 3rd world countries i suppose.

This has nothing to do with the ex-Transport Minister who was jailed for that, this is about a group of Chinese "visitors".  Similar situations occur in non-3rd world countries, a description that does not apply to Thailand.

A 13-room condo in Ek Thani Condo Town?  I suspect that there may be a tiny bit of exaggeration in this story.

I took this to mean there were 13 units on each floor.  Easy to understand when you can read Thainglish like I can.

Obviously, the reporter had misinterpreted the description of the place but this is not Thainglish...

"Cake ... lives on the ninth storey in an apartment with 13 rooms", it's English.

Brake failure?
You can see the smoke from the tires as he/she locks up the brakes at the very last second...

No, that cannot be clearly seen.  But, of course, if that was the case, it is possible that the brakes could have failed immediately after he had slammed them on after working for a split second.

 I have spoken to the plice, the tax department and a lawyer. They all tell me that they need her signature on the papers.

I sympathise with your situation but that is what I was suggesting would be the situation, it is her company, after all, being the majority, controlling shareholder.   You seem to have covered yourself as far as the authorities are concerned, maybe you should just walk away from the situation and forget it.

Imagine the chaos that could be created if minor, non-controlling shareholders were able to close down a company without the owner being aware of, or authorising, it.

Most Thais cannot read a map as this is not part of basic education.

Most countries' basic education system does not include map reading on the curriculum so, using your logic, most people in the world should not be able to read maps.
