Gosh! Thank you very big!

Sit tight, don't spend too much! Ozy dollar now at 18:1 in Oz 13:1! As the temperature rises you're as safe here as anywhere else.

Well said Mr Rooster, everyone agrees although it would be nice if our "suntanned brothers" took it to heart!!

The White House has just issued a statement following Donald Trump's acquittal.

Here it is in full:

 

Today, the sham impeachment attempt concocted by Democrats ended in the full vindication and exoneration of President Donald J. Trump. As we have said all along, he is not guilty. The Senate voted to reject the baseless articles of impeachment, and only the President’s political opponents – all Democrats, and one failed Republican presidential candidate – voted for the manufactured impeachment articles.

 

In what has now become a consistent tradition for Democrats, this was yet another witch-hunt that deprived the President of his due process rights and was based on a series of lies.

thanks Bazza! If only Hansen could get her act together and emulate Trump!

You should live under a bridge! Your trolling has reached "art" form. Could you send some of your "clear thinking" up to Phrae...we're dying of dust and smoke inhalation!!!

Apart from the distractions of "Samui Bob" thanks rooster, I've probably read about 95% of your blurbs and I hope you continue for the next appreciable length of time! I've been here for 23 years and to sit in a beer shop, drink a leo and watch the passing parade is one of my life's pleasures!

Burning makes it easier to cut by hand.

 

Have you ever tried it?

 

The husk they burn is very sharp and difficult to cut by hand.

 

Once you burn that, the stock is very easy to cut.

 

Plus burning gets rid of any large snakes lurking.

In Australia "green" harvesting is the norm! It's better for the farmer and produces more sugar! Apart from "bagas" (the cane residue after the sugar has been extracted) who on earth would burn untreated sugar cane? This country has some very odd farming practices?

sitting back, calling the grand and great grand kids...having a sanger in a slice of bread and a beer!

Even given the dubious facts you have quoted, they don't support the conclusion you have drawn.

The op hasn't considered the impact on local communities, 200,000 people spending 600 baht a day = 120m baht a day! x 4 (the common multiplier for benefits to the community) becomes 480M Baht a day!!! This money would be totally lost to the economy! 

It would have the same effect on Thailand as loosing Ranong province or Nan! Do you think that Thailand wouldn't notice the loss of THB 175,200,000,000 a year from it's economy?

I'm not sure what an Ambo is. Is it an aborigine or do you call them Abbos?

An ambulance worker/medic.

At least it will cut at least an hour off every journey as every train takes at least an hour to travel through Bang Sue spaghetti!

Very bad. But I wished also people would be stopped to use electronic devices for vaping at every corner here in Thailand. It is much worse than smoking for others since a lot of "smoke" is created. Since I can see it now so often I am really surprised that nothing happens. I have thought it is not allowed... 

The "smoke" you see is moisture with traces of nicotine, which, by the way, is good for you!

How about  stopping the economic warfare being waged on Iran by Trump?

I see, let them build the nukes and carry on with their terrorist groups like they have in the past? Gee, why didn't Trump think of that??

So just where is the big river water getting stopped/diverted at? And by whom?

 

 

China!

Aaaaagh! Did he really say that? The water table in Phrae is lower than a snake with fallen arches and he want to drill more holes! Maybe time to retire methinks!

Just curious; do the Aussie's have Smoke-jumpers?

No, the fires move so fast that the "jumpers would in all likelihood be trapped and die (no way to get them out), people don't realise how hot the ground gets, six months after the "Ash Wednesday" fires ,the ground 2 meters down, was so hot that it would cause paper to catch fire!! So they couldn't even dig in to save themselves!

true, sugars and bad oils probably the worst ingredients and since I'm not a fish sauce fan I give the majority of it a pass - I cook daily to ensure my wife and I eat healthy..

fish sauce is 37% salt! Think about it when you watch Thai people pour the sauce on...it's like putting a teaspoon of salt on your meal!!!

Is MSG natural? I guess sugar is.

Yep, it's made from papaya enzyme and of course sugar is natural! sugar, it's brown when it comes out of the plant so they spin it to remove the molasses...until it's white! Look it up, the process is very interesting!

If yours is so strong why are you scared to allow new witnesses?

How can the witness be so strong when he sent the "email" on the 25th and Sondeland said he heard about it on the 18th? It looks like the Dem's have inserted a "straw man" into the mix??
