Here it's discounted for some time already, but not  buy 1 get 1 free. I think it's 189 for one.

You are right 189 for all the range . So a bit of a con from the store but still a saving of about 100baht.?

Will be topping up tomorrow and freezing a couple of packs.

Thanks for the heads up!

Trump has a huge ego. He won't ask Musk for advice - at least most of the time.

And Trump likes to shoot from the hip.

I am sure he will f@# up many times.

Luckily, I am not an American and I can watch this soap opera from far away.

 

Possibly, but a $44 billion plus investment in to Trump's "success" carries a lot of weight and no doubt huge payback for the assist!

Matlock is worth a watch with Kathy Bates (Misery) as the lead.

The latest series (5) of All Creatures Great and Small is it's usual warming tales of vets in Yorkshire around WW2.

"The BBC has released a new seven-part natural history series, “Asia,” narrated by the legendary Sir David Attenborough. This groundbreaking series explores the incredible diversity of wildlife and landscapes across Asia, the world’s largest and most populous continent." - Brilliant as always.

Having never played or watched a game of chess in my life, I was initially uninterested in the series:

The Queen's Gambit (TV Mini Series 2020) - IMDb 8.5/10.

However, after four years I finally got around to binge-watching the entire series and I have to say it's a worthwhile must-watch for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Watched it when it first came out, very good! You don't have to be in to chess to enjoy it.

Mrs has had Bronchiectasis for many years. Tends to flare up with changes in the weather when pollens etc abound, usually twice a year.

Usually a 10 day dose of Amoxicillin/potassium antibiotics and phlegm OTC meds does the trick.

Apparently they investigated over 26,000 this year and if you look at the results in the original post there were very few that actually turned up a problem.

"This year's efforts saw the DBD scrutinising 26,019 juristic persons across sectors like tourism and logistics. Out of these, 498 were thoroughly investigated.

While 371 were cleared, 64 faced charges over accounting issues and 63 remain under further investigation, with four companies suspected of acting as nominees."

Certainly not a concern for those using the company route to buy houses I would think.

I think there are some that do haircuts as well.

I grew up in the UK in the 1940s and 1950s. In those days education, appearance, speech, behaviour, intelligence, law and order, and humour were all vastly superior to what you can see today. Very sad.

I agree, things are certainly darker than they were years ago!

My wife has renal chalets but since the "new easy" online system change from the older online system we cannot do online, local immigration don't seem to know why

Did you re-register with new username & password?

Renal chalets sound novel!

10 year old thread!

Nevertheless, friend  who takes in many strays usually uses a vet near her village for around 1400 baht.

Asked for a quote from a "new "  pet clinic not too far from the airport and was quoted 12,000 baht ( did include blood test).

You can probably guess where she went.

Yes, the PACs are included in the spending, but I think you are off on what Musk spent.

"Elon Musk acquired Twitter for US$44 billion in 2022. This massive deal marked a significant shift in the social media landscape."

Musk is 100%  MAGA plus!

Yet Harris outspent Trump by what, two to one? 

 

No one believes you guys anymore. You're going to have to start telling the truth now and them in you want to regain any credibility. 

 

Harris/the left represents the people talking down. 

 

Trump represents the people being talked down to. 

 

Musk did spend $44 billion on Trumps behalf does that count?

The voters of America gave Trump and his masters a free rein, or is that a free reign?

He will do exactly what he wants subject to his backers approval and the Dems will have to simply suck it up. We already know the law does not apply to some individuals in the good ole US of A!

Bought HP mini desktop from Lazada not long ago works fine, 2700 baht

.....or after January 20 that requires a functioning human being in charge.

Elon has it all in hand, and Russia have now confirmed they want recompense for their help.

Trump is meeting with Biden tomorrow at the Whitehouse.

Perhaps one of his final acts as POTUS would be to take Trump out in the oval office and claim presidential  immunity.

Unfortunately that would leave the way clear for  Musk ,Thiel ,Putin and manager Vance to run the country from 2025 onwards without having to oust Trump themselves.
