    If only Russia hadn't not been directly involved in the Donbass from the start so that the Minsk agreements were useless as Russia was not a signatory of the Minsk agreement. You are completely knew sided. The Minsk agreements have never been respected by Russia and its proxies.

     

    Gosh, if only Russia hadn't not invaded Ukraine! You also forgot this slight detail! 🤣

     

    Deflect, deflect, deflect!

     

    The Minsk agreements were a sham, never intended to be implemented, were simply killing time while Ukraine killed more Donbass ethnicans.

    If only Russia hadn't intervened in Donbass and Donestk, arguing it did not sign the agreement and therefore had no obligation to respect it. 😆

     

    BTW, Trump said 3 years ago! 

     

    If only Ukraine hadn't shelled the Donbass for eight years.........

    If only Ukraine had implemented the Minsk agreements.

    If only Germany and UK hadn't admitted the agreement was just a stalling tactic to get more war materials in place.....

     

    Gosh, if only.

    You're not helping your cause.

     

    "Sure, everyone knows they're corrupt, but only the fifth most corruptedest!"

     

    John Wayne Gacy may be a bad dude, but there are a couple even worse than him, so why not let him out on work release to perform as a clown at your kid's birf'day party?

    Yeah, whatever.  If you want it so badly, volunteer and head to the front and put your derriere's where your mouths are. Hatred is so passé too.  :thumbsup:  ☮️ 🕊️

     

    Would that include 5x deferment Biden, and 4x conscription dodger Zelensky?  I can understand why they think it's safe to send kids into the trenches now.

     

    Even Hitler served honourably at the front.

    This thread is about the risk of losing a lifetime of contributions to the Social Security Fund.

     

    Not hardly.  This is just another entry in the endless spewing of deranged rantings.

     

    Where exactly is the threat of losing "a lifetime of contributions" by auditing payments of benefits?

     

    The actual threat to your benefits is the system imploding sooner than expected due to corruption, fraud and abuse.

    oh !! please !! dont be a knuckle head

     

    Okay, fine..........most corrupt IN EUROPE.

     

    Heck, they'll even fire a prosecutor for a measly $Billion in loan guarantees, just need a BigGuy even more corrupt to make them an offer they can't refuse.

     

    I said, “Nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.” They said, “You have no authority. You’re not the president.” The president said—I said, “Call him.” I said, “I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.” I said, “You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.” I looked at them and said, “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

    I will put it again for you as I did page 6 this topic:

     

    And as per Section 35 of the Immigration Act (1979) as you roughly reference above, if a 'competent official' chooses to waive the nominal extension requirements, he or she is allowed to do so to the tune of 2000 baht as stipulated in item 3 of the Immigration Act (1979) fee schedule.

     

     

    This would be good to know if true.  But if true, that would allow an official to waive only the 2000 baht filing fee, not the underlying requirements for the extension, which are not detailed in the act.  

     

    I've read the Act but can't find that statement in any form.  What am I missing?

     

    Section 35 states:

     

    Each application of an alien for extension of temporary stay shall be made in the form and with payment of fees as prescribed in the Ministerial Regulations. The alien may be permitted to stay in the Kingdom pending the decision.

    Yes, it's very specific and accurate information, but hey, you just kick back, have another Leo, and continue to do NOTHING.  It's all a hoax, like Covid.   :cheesy: 

     

    Me?  Do nothing?

     

    I've got money in the bank, baby.  My visa extension is legal.

     

    I've filed my taxes this year, and last year, and the year before.

     

    And I got my three Sinopharm jabs.

     

    How 'bout you, Charlie Brown?

    That doesn't really surprise me.....    I have a very poor impression of US Authority figures abusing their menial powers wherever possible..... 

     

    It would be good to have clear information through....   my comments referred to destinations in Europe and Asia where airlines generally seem far more tolerant and understanding of the fact that it is humans they are transporting.... 

     

    I've flown with bike box(es) between China, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia on Asian budget airlines.

     

    Never, ever a problem.  Even with box sizes.  US is strict about that as well.  Asian budget allows me to cobble together my own box large enough to hold the bike without removing wheels.  Length limit was 2 meters, longest that could fit into the cargo bay.

     

    Also no problem separating into smaller boxes if I so desire.  One airline sells 32KG luggage, which could be a single large carton, or 32 separate 1kg boxes.

    We travel with ski bags... (190cm long) anything that can get thrown in there does - I don't think anyone ever has checked.... in the UK, Europe, Middle East, here or Japan...

     

    I've heard from folks that fly US domestic, boarding agents will inform passengers that TSA goons don't permit any extras in the bike box.  They'll find it when they open the box, pull everything out to inspect, and then damage it when the below average IQ stormtroopers try to force your carefully packed bike back into the carton.  Square peg, round hole = bigger hammer.

    That guy wasn't even "cycling" per se just riding a bike on the side of the road. Could have been a motorbike or a walking even.

     

    The lorry snuck up on him and turned without looking. Not sure what anyone could have done about that.

     

    Gotta have a rear-view mirror on a bike.

     

    I always check for traffic behind when coming to an intersection, looking for vehicles, especially 10-wheel trucks with trailer, turning left.

     

    Read too many stories about turning trucks drifing into the breakdown lane and squashing scooters.

     

    Always check the ditch and have a bail-out plan if something from the rear starts drifting too close.
