Read once about a love revenge tale involving honey undetectably placed inside curtain rails.

House became infested with all manner of insects which no pest control activity could ever remove.

House Uninhabitable & Unsaleable. Abandoned. 

“Those red hat guys don’t believe in facts or logic.”

True , but neither do many (high profile) Dems either……

that Andrew Yang makes sense though……but who else…….. ?

learn to read & process statements.learn to debate. no false statement from my side.asked a straight question. also learn not to obviously & ironically falsely accuse people. there is no difference between the two words. your choice is not in common usage. mine is. you also fail to properly respond to my rebuttal. then repeat original lie.learn from the beating here.unless you want to present again as a typical programmed leftie troll.

Wrong about Sophistry as defined. Was challenging Absolutist Views. Straight Question. No Deceit.

Greeks understood (invented) true democracy including right of free speech, speaking ones mind, etc.

Fully Agreed Chomper. Spot On. BUT those loons are Fascists not Conservatives.Important Distinction.

Right & Left Extremes are Both Absolutist Totalitarian. 

Stalin - Hitler- Mao- Pol Pot - Franco- Galtieri, Amin, etc. were substantially of like deranged mind. Fortunately QAon & Antifa crude loons will always be fringe with no chance of even local govt. power.

However, Left in Power does allows itself to be infiltrated & controlled by Marxists and clearly has Minorities in high office NOT based on merit. Right in Power rejects Fascists and includes on merit Minorities in high office.

arguments here about whose media is best descend quickly into tiresome gutter “ad hominem” attacks and, I suggest, require replacing with evidenced reasoned cases for Big Ideas to solve Real Problems like Poverty, Hunger, Disease, Crime, Education, Politics, etc.  Remember when those used to be Big before Identity Politics, Celebrities and “Media”took over ? 

Mis / Dis Information is easily avoided by rational vigilant minds going to Source Data & Accessing Finest Commentators/ Philosophers rather than profit- orientated / political- based/ small- minded/ biased Entertainment “Media”. The Impartiality rule is Important but near Impossible to sustain now. Next step down criteria for todays media then is Balanced & Factual. 

Look, I am a liberal conservative ( as originally defined) but freely and rationally accept the case that NY Times is old school gold standard reporting (not entertainment) and far superior to Fox or Sky, which in turn are worse than CNN.

Have been persuaded so only by the evidence produced here. BBC are much improved off late, perhaps looking to NY Times ? Actually now turn the sound on for CNN, at least a “decent” media outlet (Wiki / CNN Controversies, quite few & mild). 

Wondering though how many of you NY Times fans can also equally now accept that even Fox & Sky sometimes make legit points & are not always all wrong ? None, right ? as already evidenced here. 

scuba: no “user error”. explained this is a test transaction. Hsbc & Wise have set up online transfers between themselves in a certain fixed way which users must follow ( fixed drop down menu with generic sort code different to my ac sort). Wise already confirmed this. Hsbc gbp 25 trace in process since Friday yet still no word. No response either to my two Online HSBC Banking Chaser Messages. Alternative is Phone Banking or Intermediary Routing, which methods no doubt open up other issues.

same process as first jab.vax centre gives you vax batch paper to take to specified main govt. hospital who issue a final govt. vax cert. in english matching passport.get it reduced and laminated as carry card. forget that useless govt. yellow vax booklet copied from WHO but all in thai language form and never required.

Left our Gate in up position ten years ago. Removed the Security Hut too. Too much traffic and access delays . Guests, Tradesmen, Utility Readers.Gate Mechanism broke often. Access Cards Lost. Added CCTV and Lighting.Residents / Caretaker everyday observation. No problems. 

The “law & system” here for Foreigners is Profit - Humiliation - Control, nothing else.

Member posted here about a 60k bribe to “remove” a six year westerner overstay. Too Cheap so hard to believe. But plausible if it was 600k.Road rage thai murderers of foreigners walk free after token one night in jail. Everything For Sale here.

Just decided Covid Visa Amnesty (finished 30 Sept 20 ?) would never End ?

Covid Extention or Longstay Visa just was not for him it seems. Probable “Visa Exempt” leftover ?

Any more detail of his visa status ? 

Favourite Overstay Story here was that Hungarian woman on Samui /Eleven Years ! Record Surely. Or that French guy doing two overstays of 3 & 5 years, entering overland illegally….twice ! or Indian guy with 8 years OS recently….. fascinating tales of unhinged desperate folk…. 

there is no future when young only the “now”. getting yourself “set” is all. only once I had five years training / experience & business degree / professional qual / starter apartment and first overseas job ( aged 23) was there any “ future” too consider.

completely useless document. required nowhere here. unrecognized outside as names & dates in thai form not matching passport. MOPH covid vax cert, in western form, matches passport, with QR code, is better and surely is sufficient vax proof.

not sit ups. can cause hernias. causes most military injuries. squats better. check Dr Berg on You Tube.

complete diet & exercise program required for sustained weight loss & fitness.

insufficient detail.have same basic situation. my lady is a gem, together ten years now, educated, hard working, uni. architect- trained, fully trusted. our son is seven. thai and western citizen. leasehold owned property and vehicle in my name. no paternal birth cert. rights here without marriage or court order. if you separate, your moral obligation would be limited to providing for mum and kid until kid leaves home or full time education, assuming the lady is broke with no skills or family support.

bkkjet: my explanation was of course basic “ big picture”. your detail is well thought out but omits the annual 1900 baht and is exclusively bank interest based but thats fine as gives the cost model certainty.like other Direct Immi Fans, the non- financial bs/ humiliation/ principle / changes are not considered. not just about the money.

its “ obvious” if the obvious cost and principle of tying up that 400-800 k every year, plus the explained & known work / humiliation / changes/ uncertainty involved, is ignored. that’s silly.

25-30k Agent Fee is Market Rate for Retirement Visa & Extn ( min. 15months)

Inc. Local Immi Stamp ( not “Chonburi”) & All Reporting & No Financials.

Use only Agent Personally Recommended and Ideally an Immi. Officer.

ED Visa / Extn. max. 12 mths. Use Only Recommended Private Language School as “Agent”.

Attendance technically required & audited but in practice not enforced.

Buying the Right or Option to Learn.No Financials. 45-48 k Total. 

First Option way superior on Cost Value Duration, if available, unless you actually want language tuition.

Note: All Immi Passport Stamps, compliant with above, & also on Immi. Computer, are “ Legal “.

Irrelevant “how” they got there. Near Zero Audit / Challenge Risk.No matter what any righteous

“ experts” here may say……

quite impossible. better than Norway or New Zealand. ludicrous public relations stunt, grouping private & public hospitals here. private hospitals with top service maybe but doubt it re. skills. Plus Western healthcare is basically free ( USA aside) as well as world class. 

Matching OP preferences, would recommend south west or south coast hillsides, away from the towns, with seaview and nice beaches. Lower Kata Hill on Rawai border, opposite Big Buddha for example.Cant understand recommendations for muslim townships. Nor the Pattaya - dwelling trolls who dismiss superior Phuket.

Replace Bailly or Lindelof with Maguire surely….

Bissaka a Liability now….Pogba dreaming of Real next year….

Too many precious superstars up front & midfield who do near zero defensive work.

A 750 mill. group of great individuals…..never a team to win Prem or CL.

when watching the top three Prem teams, you can see the difference

just finished watching the Leicester game…..

now if only Messi could come to Newcastle…..
