So in last-ditch effort, Deputy Mayor Manote Nongyai announced that old furniture, tree branches, rubble and construction debris can now be disposed of in individual and public garbage cans that will be collected on a regular schedule.

Oh. I don't live in Pattaya, but our dustbin men/garbage collectors have been taking our dead palm tree branches away for years.

Good luck with that.

That's what I thought. You could have called me "Skeptical of Ratchayothin" before I started looking more deeply at the overwhelming evidence. 

 

I even just went to check that the front door was firmly bolted.

I think that would probably be a horse.

Best regards to the boys in menu planning and the catering. Look on how much of your <deleted> food is returned when you clear the trays of incoming flights, where you provided the food. 

Less could be more, be it food as well as the avalanche of waste. Flew domestically on a TG flight operated by WE (Thai Smile), was given a solid paper bag with proper string handles containing a refreshment towel, a plastic bottle (specially packed) of RO water, a specially packed and inside plastic wrapped funny little blueish toast. Nobody left and right ate it and returned it with a disgusting look into the paper bag. Don’t tell me that you recycle the paper - all waste, from food to packaging! 

Didn't some airline staff used to ask if you wanted a towel, then if confirmed proceeded to give you a warm towel?

That would reduce waste, but be slightly more time consuming.

What the h@ll do you have against farm animals?  I for one don't want to  be eating animals that has been feed waste.   It's up to the airlines to start serving food that people want to eat. 

Ah, you only want to eat the ones which were fed the complete first-class meals. That's very ethical.

I remember those roll-on roll-off ferries.

I wonder what happens to complete unconsumed meals? Could they not be given to a food bank for the public to collect? Do food banks exist in Thailand?

How about food waste from partly consumed meals, where does that go at present? I would have thought it could be given to farm animals to eat. (I do mean those in the fields, not the ones looking after them)

Yes, but don't worry - after a couple of years getting "zapped" by 5g we will all be incapable of thinking for ourselves anymore!

Look on the bright side: A slice of pizza bought from 7 Eleven will heat itself while frying your brain - real multi-tasking.

I remember the 8 track stereo! Were you listening to Humphrey Lyttelton?

Or perhaps taking instructions from here:

This is slightly OT, although linked to the above:

I see there's some discussion in the UK at the moment about changing the law so someone causing death by dangerous driving would be give a life prison sentence.

I've just found the news report I mentioned above:

Find my device need the phone to be reachable via the internet and it does send a notification that the phone is being tracked.

Right, thanks. In that case we definitely don't want that option.

Nice to know I am not the only one concerned about kids and motor bikes,

I still think about a GPS, or maybe just tell him one is fitted and well hidden !

Hmm, I think weakness there would be him wanting proof by asking where he'd just been.

You can track his phone via https://www.google.com/android/find or even see his movement history. You could also track a GPS enabled android device installed on his motorbike for only the cost of the sim card and data plan. 

My son has a gmail account - I have the password, as he can't remember it if he gets signed out.

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work.

I tried to "Find My Device" by first only entering his email address:

It said "Couldn't send a Google prompt because your phone can't be reached"

That seems to suggest it will send him a message, which is obviously not what I want?

Son: Dad, dad, there's a man at the door with a bill.

Dad: No son, it's a duck with a hat on.

If he was 'pulled in' perhaps he's a convert. Must be the Holy See.
