When was your last previous meal? 8pm? 5pm? 1pm? 8am?

The Americans are the leaders of NATO and the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO is an American general - General Christopher G. Cavoli. He won't defy the American president. If America says no, NATO won't do it.

Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America Burma, Myanmar Kiev, Kyiv Turkey, Türkiye Which ones will stick the longest? I'll stick with the Gulf of Mexico for now. Google maps is trying to cover its bases.

The thread is still around. https://aseannow.com/topic/900969-birds-in-your-garden/ So is another thread on the same topic. https://aseannow.com/topic/1326956-birds-in-your-garden-2

He actually got an itemised bill but it was in Thai. You can a photo of in the Daily Mail article. I don't think the bill was expensive, and I don't think the overnight stay that was offered was too expensive either. They gave him a choice and he took the one he wanted. I see no valid reason for his excessive whinging. Well, I do actually - more Youtube views.

It looks more like a sunbird nest than a munia nest to me.

I don't know why many would believe that. IMO, many would more likely believe that withdrawal from the EU would stop the influx of European immigrants.

It appears you have not fully read the OP. "My daughter is turning 16 this month. She would like to buy a motorbike, showing me photos of different motorbikes, it scares me. I'd like to buy her a car. Can I register and insure the car in her name, she is only 16?"

On the issue of needing a driving licence to register a vehicle, I have bought and registered in my name three vehicles in Thailand (the last one was in 2023) and I never had to show my licence or provide a photocopy of it. My wife has never had to either when registering her vehicles. The DLT does not list a driving licence as a requirement for registering a new vehicle and there is no requirement to show evidence of a licence when transferring ownership of a car to another person. See below.

On the issue of car insurance, I entered details for a 16-year old girl on a Thai car insurance website to see if I could insure a car (voluntary vehicle insurance, not por ror bor) for a 16-year old. It accepted all the information I entered about the person and the car until it got to the age of the person. It would not let me continue until the age of the girl was 18. It would not accept 15, 16 or 17. https://insure.roojai.com/#/quotationInput

It looks good. I downloaded it and might try it if I can remember I have it.

Hi I did a Google search for you in Thai and came up with this website (they also have a FB page): https://pattayatutor.com/ That page says they tutor for both Pratom (primary schools) and Matayom (secondary schools). They offer private lessons and group lessons (2-5 people apparently). The page has prices and times, location details and contact details,

Perhaps those in high places can tell us exactly how they will go about transforming second-tier provinces into first-tier provinces.

Losing my internet connection. I lost it last week for a few days and it was awful. I had to go out and buy a book. Now that I have my internet is back, I have to try to be brave enough to open the book. I've red the cover a few times but it's hard to get stuck into a story when the world wide web keeps staring right at me. Life was much easier in the twentieth century.

In and of itself scales won't make your weight fall off BUT if you want to lose weight, you will need scales to know what weight you are now and to know when you have attained the weight loss you desire. Which ones to buy? I prefer digital scales with the smallest increment of 50g rather than 100g or 200g. They use a small battery - CR2032 I think. You can buy scales that do not use a battery. They use a spring mechanism. My opinion is that they are less reliable and less accurate. However, if you don't want battery operated scales and you are not too fussed about accuracy and just want a general guide to your weight, they might be a good choice for you. They are usually cheaper too. If you use the same scales in the same location, on the same surface and stand in the same way each time, most scales should be good enough for most people. How often to weigh? Daily in the morning after urinating. Don't worry if your weight one day is higher than the day before. That can happen. It's best to note the trend over weeks - generally downwards, generally upwards or generally no movement at all. To remember your weight and to be able to note the trend upwards or downwards, you might want to record your weight on paper or some other way. Good luck. .

What proof do you have that it is lies? Please post them if you have them. TIA. :)

That's true to an extent. China has been consistent in saying that they want Taiwan to rejoin China peacefully and not by force, but that if Taiwan ever claims independence, China would take over Taiwan by force - there would be war. That's the Chinese line. All Taiwan has to do to prevent war is to keep to the status quo, remain an unofficial independent country and all will be fine. Keep it as it is now, don't declare independence and there will be no war and no takeover.

Thujone, did you apply for Universal Credit?

I see he is embracing his Jewish identity. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/12/18/stephen-fry-anti-semitism-is-one-acceptable-form-of-racism/

It would appear neither the Egyptians nor the Palestinians trust the Israelis to let the Palestinians back in again after the conflict ends, which would be a catastrophe for them. Once bitten, twice shy.

A couple of weeks ago it was reported that hundreds of Palestinians had been arrested in Gaza. The Israeli military said some of them were wanted Hamas operatives. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/08/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-surrender-gaza.html

I thought it was rather good, coming at us in a sort of stream of consciousness fashion. Given the topic/content of the post, it seemed appropriate to me.

A guess or opinion is fine, so long as we know that’s what it is. I am actually interested in the facts – or at least what the IDF soldiers state them to be. But thanks for your opinion.

Is that what they said or is that what you imagine they might say?

It would be interesting to know exactly what they felt threatened by.
