    Says everything there is to say about the hatred of the British by the EU. "and pressure from France and other member states to uphold a “Buy European” policy." Where do the French think Japan is?

    CN is China I guess. "flee tyrannical govts, oppression" you mean just like China? At least China bullies countries to take back its own refugees. May be the UK should bully France more to take back the ones crossing to the UK.

    The trouble is it goes read only on my computer. So have to uninstall and down load again or buy a package.
  4. Alexjkr
    Still free but after a while it becomes read only unless you buy a package. But if you uninstall the programme then re-install it the free clock starts ticking again.

    It comes up all the time here but what is a Netizen?

    And despite all the surveillance https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/14/heathrow-baggage-handlers-haul-stolen-items-20644482/ Very lucky to get a suspended sentence.

    When somebody works at a major airport and is aware just how much surveillance there is.

    The Victorians got the whole of Britain connected by rail in a lot less than a century. Using Thai expertise how long would the US have taken to connect the East and West coasts?
  9. Alexjkr
    Yes it did take a long time to get initial approval however the Thai rail ling has already started. It is only the next stage. Mind you the UK has ****ed up the last 5 miles from Old Oak to Euston. A bit like ending the Thai link at Rangsit then everybody piling onto a commuter train.

    I have no idea. Bank holiday this week end. I will check next week.

    Think how long it is going to take to do the 1000km from Bangkok to the Malaysian border.
  12. Alexjkr
    I read that as construction starting in 2031. Six years from approval to construction start?

    So many pot holes in the UK needing to take a wheel off is quite common. Up until last year my car was old enough to have a spare. Now the car I have has no spare, not even a space saver. And not run flat tyres. How useless is that.

    So was it 40 feet or 20 feet? Makes a difference. I would have thought 40 feet was survivable.

    I had the shingles vaccination about 4 years ago. I was never told that I needed a second shot. The only problem was I was due get a covid vaccination at the same time then there was a last minute decision not to have covid and shingles at the same time.

    "A Swedish man inadvertently caused a security scare at Udon Thani airport by leaving a suitcase containing explosive ingredients." Then said there was nothing hazardous in the luggage. I assume that the man being "uncooperative" was made up to justify the Thais going into panic mode.

    Not even the spare wheel. The wheel that you just took off will do. Cars in the UK don't even have a spare wheel now.

    Official tour guides have a guide id. I assume part if the bribe is to give the illegal guide an id. The guide then get free entry to tourist sites. How about the tourists sites looking at the tourist guide id and the Thai id card. Or are the tourist sites in on this as well. Seems to be Thailand is doing what Thailand does best and is protecting the officials taking the bribes.

    The penguins are fighting back.

    I can't speak for ID photos but mobile phone cameras are wide angle and distort the face. I hate the way I look in mobile phone photos, I prefer taking with a proper camera. I remember from my 35mm days and learning photography, even the standard lens on a 35mm camera was too wide angle for portrait photos. A slightly telephoto lens around 80mm focal length was best.

    The last time I was in a swimming pool must have been 50 years ago.

    Interesting that the US applies safety standards but the US expects other countries to ignore safety standards. So the US is expecting the UK to import Chlorinated chicken from the US.
  24. Alexjkr
    Untrue since the US still applies a tariff even if there is a trade surplus in their favour. And of course applies a tariff on uninhabited islands.
  25. Alexjkr
    Arm twisting negotiations? The US has an $11.9 billion trade surplus with the UK and the UK got hit with 10% tariff. The only negotiation is what the punitive tariff that the UK puts on the US is. It could be worse, the Netherlands has a negative trade balance with the US and a EU member has been hit with 40%. Trump really doesn't get this international trade thing does he.
