    "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 won the war.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It is rather annoying when you see the the rate increase 13.8 to 15% but no mention of the reduced threshold which is the biggest deterrent. Many part tome workers who were previously exempt are now caught with employers and employees NICs. Then there is the frozen tax thresholds, but they haven't increase tax, like hell they have.

    Stop in front and get out and escalate. But he is parked behind not in front of.

    You can see him holding something in his left hand. What ever it was he was holding it it before he was hit. He didn't go to his car to retrieve it.

    The bus lost control, not the driver?

    The penguins in the Heard and McDonald islands must be quaking in their boots, if they had boots, with the imposition of a 10% tariff. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Heard+and+McDonald+Islands+

    That Sunda plate boundary looks very ominous.

    You do realise where the boundaries of the Indian Tectonic plate are?
