    THAILAND PLANS to call on Germany to provide a German-made engine for a Chinese-built submarine already purchased by the Thai navy, Defence Minister Suthin Khlangsaeng confirmed today (Sep.7).

     

    Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and Deputy Prime Minister-cum-Foreign Minister Panpree Pahitthanukorn will likely call on the German government to allow the sale of the German-made MTU396 engine for the Yuan-class S26T submarine being built by China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co. in a planned meeting with their German counterparts during the United Nations General Assembly session in New York later this month, Suthin said.

     

    Relationships between Thailand and Germany and with China would remain intact if the Germans eventually agreed to sell the sought-after engine for use with the Chinese sub by the Thai navy, according to the civilian defence minister.

     

    Nevertheless, Thailand’s first Chinese-built S26T sub is not expected for delivery until after next year, given snags in the procurement of the MTU396 engine which was among German military hardware and equipment on which a sustained embargo is imposed for sale to Asia’s superpower.

    A WOMAN and her new husband who had tortured one toddler to death and seriously injured the other were given life in jail yesterday (Aug. 30), Amarin TV said.

     

    The small boy, Phi Phi, was just two years and one month old when he died on May 26, 2022, after being severely tortured while her sister, Chao Kha, was badly injured on August 1, 2022 when she was just three years and four months old.

     

    Ms. Natthornwit Na Pattani, 27, the biological mother of the two children, and Mr. Tinnakorn Kamonsilp, 29, the stepfather, were charged with murder by torture and brutality and attempted murder with their death sentence being commuted to life imprisonment after confession.

     

    In Chao Kha’s case there was a rape charge as well.

    My family has a long established car dealership/servicing/MoT station in the UK. I am mostly retired from it now, however I have seen thousands of cabin filters over the years. Trust me, your filter is not 'degraded', in fact the filter material is still fairly clean. However the pleats are chock full of rodent droppings and the rodent has chewed part of the filter.  Be thankful you don't have a BMW or Mercedes, the latest BMs and MBs use biodegradable plastic insulation on the wires - its basically mouse food!

    this works very well on car wiring

    Probably good advice BUT winning a legal action and actually collecting the $$ can be two very different things...people have a way of disappearing, moving, not having any $$, delcaring bankruptcy and eventually it cost more to pursue in time and legal fees than it is worth so they get away with it and the landlord is still stuck. 

     

    But as said if u at least inspect the property a few times u might get lucky and see what is coming and get rid of the idiot before he rips the entire place apart and disappears into the night.  There are laws as to how LARGE a deposit can legally be collected so good luck with that one.

    buy damage and rent payment insurance figure it in the lease, get a 90 day deposit and cleaning fee. up front.
