Vagrant picked up after threatening schoolkids with a spoon and fork

Did he threaten to eat them alive?

I just read in BP that the army says it can't secure 5000 kms plus of land borders they can only try their best.You could hop onto the round about of lockdowns and wait for a virus that brings 95% protection against severe symptoms or rely on the 95% protection against developing severe symptoms that not having a vaccine brings.95% of current infections don't develop severe symptoms which is the same as the protection claimed by some vaccines.Many say how wonderful it is and how clever we are.

'the army says it can't secure 5000 kms plus of land borders'

I'm surprised the army would admit something like this.

Firstly, it proves they're incapable of securing the country against any potential invasion.

Secondly, doesn't that usually come under the heading of 'national security'? Obviously only when it suits them to say that.

I explained to the very helpful nurse that in the UK you just pick up a freely available organ donor card and always keep it with you

Did it not change recently, to be in line with Wales, where you can opt OUT of organ donation as opposed to opting IN?

I didn't know that, I haven't been in the UK for years. It's a very good idea though.

May cause a problem for illiterate religious fanatics opposed to the idea.

Another Bt400 billion has been allocated for economic revival, though this can be redirected to the relief fund.

Being cynical would make me ask, "Who's relief fund?"

Were you hoping the gf might be a chain 'smoker'?

The National Security Council (NSC) will punish the officials who let illegal migrants sneak into the country.

Perhaps they'll be moved to an inactive post. Oops, looks like they're in one already.

Did the one in pink win for having the most 'outstanding' hair?

The nimwit policy of mask wearing at restaurants has already been tried in the US. Just too difficult to pass food through the cloth, and alot less fun. 

 

If precautions are to be put into place, they need to be practical and backed up by common sense and science, not panic and fear mongering. 

'Just too difficult to pass food through the cloth'  I thought that was a problem some time after consuming the food?

This is the second story I've read about organ donation in the past two weeks.

As the posters above have said, that it should be automatic unless opting out.

A few weeks ago when I tried to donate blood, after a long time trying I still found I was unable to, as is anyone who resided in the UK between 1980-1996 for a period of more than 6 months (mad cow disease).

While I was at the bloodbank, I asked the nurse if she knew how I could become an organ donor. That proved impossible too. She said it wasn't easy to do in Thailand.

From what I can see, it seems you have to be in a hospital as a dying patient and (someone) tell the nursing staff at the time.

I explained to the very helpful nurse that in the UK you just pick up a freely available organ donor card and always keep it with you. I'm sure details must also go onto a national computer by now, able to check instantly.

The nurse said here they can only do what government allows the health system to do. A real shame.

Unless of course, anyone has more information?

That's right, 100% focus on migrant workers and let Thai's go about their business as normal because this is spread by migrants only. They really cannot stop themselves from being massive racists can they?

Apart from when the Chinese were visiting as covid took hold. There has not been any blame towards them, only the 'dirty ferang' to coin a well-known recent phrase, for passing it on. It must have originated there - in Ferangland, next to Lapland.

Have you ever taken a photo in your life or ever contributed to anything??

 

Nevertheless, all the very best for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks!

Didn't you see my photo a couple of posts before yours, of the solar hot water experiment in the garden? It wasn't taken at night though and  I didn't have 100 metres of lights to put on the LDPE pipe!

Charging 'em is a bit petty .. surely just a good probing would suffice ..

I'm sure there would be a queue to do that - after all, the headline did mention a 'major bust'.

I see you've put some red and white lights around the vent pipe for your septic tank. Very festive!

Airbnb is certainly legal. Whether or not you are legally renting out your property is a different thing. Short term rentals should have a hotel license, long term rentals don't need this.

If you rent out a room in your house for one or two nights with Air BNB, are you saying you need a hotel licence to do this?

Edit:

I've since found some info on AirBNB clarifying this:

"For example, please take note of the 2008 Ministerial Regulation under the Hotel Act, B.E. 2547 (2004), which states that short term property rentals shall not require a hotel license if:

The property has four rooms or less;

The property can accommodate a maximum of twenty guests or less; and

The rental of such property merely provides an additional source of income for the owner"

She said you'll be ok if you're - and I'm quoting here - "under 50% sh-t" any more than that and you're toast mate. LOL!

 

Luckily my misses is pretty smart and doesn't believe in that sort of nonsense. She was with her sisters who do though.....

"under 50% sh-t"   Hopefully I'm not dying yet - I'm under 50% shot.
