  1. Timings timings !!! Get your history right my friend. Tit for Tat is fine. pushing your head into the sand to avoid the inevitable is cowardice. Israel is far from cowardly. They are doing the 'Free World's' job for them as the rest of that World doesn't have the balls for it, or the principles.
  2. Hopefully. Iran needs to be dealt with, sooner or later. I vote for sooner.
  3. and Iran backed Hezbollah attacks preceded that. Lets at least get the timings right.
  4. If you think that, then think again. The sole reason for the programme is to develop nuclear weapons, and yes, that is illegal. They were helped by both the French and the Pakistanis, no surprise there. Yes, you are right, in that the totally inadequate treaty was quite rightly torn up by the US, so there are insufficient to no checks going on.
  5. The biggest disappointment in this report is that the strike appears to be at a low level and did not target Iran's illegal nuclear programme. That is just putting off the inevitable.
  6. A slight change to that statement, Patty locals don't seem to like tress, in fact most city likers and dwellers World wide seem to hate green stuff that grows.
  7. They had better !
  8. Because they are as thick as a brick. Hotter and harder to keep clean, but they all want to look, like gangsters, hence the illegal heavy tinting. Pathetic.
  9. Believe me, the general Thai population are as clueless about the workings of government agencies as we farangs. They dispise them as much as we do. and suffer the same frustrations and inconsistences as we do. A Thai friend of mine, an academic, told me that civil servants here are the bottom of the food chain, lower even than farmers.
  10. Any Amphur, any where can issue a new ID. Beware though, my g/f also expired ID and her Mother had to pitch up with her, and her Birth Certificate, before they would issue a new one, because for some reason, the thumb print ID didn't work. Apparently, if you are legally married, the husband can vouge for the wife, on production of the M cert. It was not at her Blue Book Amphur, but one in another City entirely.
  11. A slight difference for me. I use an agent to get my yearly extension, mainly, or even solely. because I can't stand Immigration offices or IOs. I too use the 800K rule, but I usually drop behind after month three, usually around 200K, so only 600K in the account. My agent usually applies for my extension up to 30 days before it's due. In that circumstance, I always ensure that I do my top up to 800K 3 months before the extension date, rather than 2 months. My agent tells me this is not necessary, as we are applying early, so the 2 months still stands. But as we all know here, it's all okay, until it isn't, so I will stick to the early top up.
  12. For the avoidance of doubt, Argents cannot get you a DL nor renew one. They can help with the paperwork, which is easy anyway, but you still have to go to the LTO for the checks and issue of the DL. No point using an agent for this.
  13. Its like naming your house. Hopefully, this ego maniac, sociopath will be spending lots of time there, so why not.
  14. How about sharing her name??
  15. Unlike other countries, Which other countries? I don't know one where that is the case. You are always wise to shop around, regardless of the country. shop around. hence the rise of internet shopping. .
  16. Private hospitals here are fully private businesses, usually partnerships, and set up to make a profit.
  17. Who and what is? The Met Police in London are no better. He stacks up quite well against the last Met Commissioner, who was a corrupt (in the wider sense of that word) disaster, and pretty good against the present Commissioner.
  18. You don't know what you are talking about.
  19. And with equal respect to you Sir, that is not the criteria for a straight cop here. He made every effort to ensure that Immigration policy and law was being followed and tried to stamp out payments under the table. For that alone, he should be commended. And for that alone he is hated by many of his less straight colleagues.
