Sorry, but I had to laugh. These muppet terrorists think that they can beat and subdue Israel, Good luck with that idea.

Frankley, none of them, they are all hopeless. I would suggest an off shore account with the likes of Chase. -
Former Miss Switzerland Finalist Murdered by Husband Then 'pureed'
Doctor Tom replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That was the usual media exaggeration. The illiterates that write these articles nowadays, will never be in line for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Most can't spell, or punctuate. -
Are you "all in" in your relationship?
Doctor Tom replied to sidjameson's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My view: you arrive to 'life' alone and you leave it alone, plan accordingly. I met and married the love of my life and my best friend at age 21 and lost her to life and cancer some years later. I will never be as emotionally vulnerable to another person, ever again. -
World’s best hotel: Bangkok’s Mandarin Oriental steals the show
Doctor Tom replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
In my view, the Oriental is very 1970s in ambiance and convenience, poorly located for most people and over priced. It always reminds me of the India of old. I prefer The Landmark or Grand Hyatt, both excellent hotels, well located and reasonably priced. If its a river location you are after and convenience is not an issue, The Peninsula beats the Oriental in my view. As a final point, it is nowhere near to 'the best hotel in Asia'. I could name at least 3 in Singapore and one in India that offer a much better experience. -

'Couple of months' is a cheap wedding nowadays. Upwards of £30K is not unusual in the UK. Madness -
What was your job (profession) when you moved to Thailand
Doctor Tom replied to still kicking's topic in General Topics
Among a few other things, I was the Part Time CEO of a UK Education Charity, BIG mistake. I found out very quickly that very many Charities, by no means just my own, are full of hang wringing liberals, who are without an ounce of common sense, judgement, business acumen, or even charitable feelings towards others. When I left, I cancelled all of my charitable giving, bar selected Military veteran ones, that I knew to be well managed. -
you just gotta love Cats !
Doctor Tom replied to Social Media's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Cats are utter psychopaths and so entertaining. I love both cats and dogs but the cats are the prime source of amusement. -

Fatal Accident: Man Falls into Charcoal Furnace in Sisaket Province
Doctor Tom replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
He may just as easily have suffered a medical seizure of some kind, stroke or heart attack. Its an unprofitable speculation point. The poor old chap is dead, end of. -
I forgot to add to my post. a report to the police could help. It's not a criminal matter, but they are often open to a civil intervention if an 'administrative fee' is paid. A conversation along these lines may assist. Having explained the situation, words to this effect: "I know that this is not a criminal matter, more a matter of him disturbing my harmony. Perhaps you would be kind enough to have a word with him. I understand that this is a civil matter and therefore an administrative fee may be charged in circumstances such as this?" Two alternatives here: " perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me how much this fee is" or : " I have heard that the fee is usually 5,000 ( pick a number) Baht, is this correct?" Best to have this conversation with just one cop, not a group of them. It worked for me once.

I have two trees close to my garden boundaries that regularly grow over the wall . I make sure that each year they are cut back to the environs of my land. Its called being considerate and I have excellent relationships with the near land owners. Report it to the local Head Shed, if no action, a Lawyer's letter saying you will cut the tree back yourself, making sure that you don't trespass, and give the dick next door the bill.
