Has anyone taken the time to look at Walden's website? I did. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe. Their page titled The Method will leave you speechless. After that, you can read all of the five testimonials. Yes, five. I'm going to pop into my local Walden International School to take advantage of their

Free Demonstration

You are welcome to come to our school and have a free demonstration of the Method, we are sure you will enjoy it.

I'm sure I will. Everything I've seen from the OP and his website reminds me of Gerald Ratner and his famous speech:

Although widely regarded as "tacky", the shops and their wares were nevertheless extremely popular with the public, until Ratner made a speech on 23 April 1991. During the speech, he commented:

“ We also do
cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated
tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People
say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?", I say, "because it's
total crap." ”

He compounded this by going on to remark that some of the earrings were "cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but probably wouldn't last as long." Ratner's comments have become textbook examples of the folly of making fun of, and showing contempt to, customers. In the furore that ensued, customers exacted their revenge by staying away from Ratner shops. After the speech, the value of the Ratner group plummeted by around £500 million, which very nearly resulted in the firm's collapse.

This isn't about God! The moronic part of all of this is that the God of Islam, the God of Christianity and the God of Judaism is the same God. To murder and site God as the reason is doubling you eternity in hell.

He is a Londoner for sure. The media is saying probable Nigerian Muslim import.

There is a video, here

He does not look Islamic to me and does seem to have a strong British accent.

Cassius Clay is an American for sure. He has an American accent. He is definitely a Muslim; he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Does he look Islamic to you?

''It is important that the country produce its own original items instead of building on someone else’s idea''

But copying is what Thais do best.

Govt offering cash for photos of forest fires

Hooray for Photoshop!

It's quite common in private schools for parents to be able to view the classroom via the school website with a password.

If you don't believe me, turn off everything and see if your meter is moving. Mine does. I go back in the house and turn off the a/c breaker and the meter stops. Since turning off the breaker I have seen B400 per month drop on my bill per air con unit. It's your money so up to you.

in the old days, when you turn things off, it was "off".

Now days, when you turn thing off, its actually "asleep".

People dont want to wait for things to power up and finish its bootup period. So manufactures designed appliances to "sleep". In the "off" state, the clock may be still running, its in/out circuits are still on, waiting for you to use your remote. This may be called the "overhead" power, or the quiescent power for the system. This "overhead power" while its much less than the "on" power, still adds up to a lot of power draw, if you count the numbers.

Again, set your thermostats higher

use fans instead of AC where possible

turn off all unused lights

If everyone contributes, that should be enough to push off blackouts.

This is not that uncommon in other countries

as well as the belly-aching about it

If you're near my age, then you'll remember a time WITHOUT AC

be thankful for what you've got

If you turn off your air con but don't turn off the breaker switch you still use a lot of electricity.

Can you please explain the logic behind your statement?

Simple answer no. Two Thai electricians told us to turn off the breaker. I thought they were mad. I looked at the meter with the T.V. and computer on and it was going round like a rocket. I turned off the a/c breaker and the meter slowed right down. Check it out for yourself.

Why Do Lao Expats Hate Thai Expats?

Sexual frustration. It is illegal for a foreigner to have sexual relations with a Laotian woman out of wedlock.

Human nature the world over. If the male staff at the accommodation haven't yet told her, it means they don't fancy her. Add that to the fact that she is being cheated on...

Just ask a technical question about a product. After a few minutes of consulting each other, they will will respond with "mai lew" and avoid you like the plague after that.

Please, could anyone advise of a photo shop in Chiang Mai that can definitely provide passport photos that meet British standards?

Many Thanks

Kim Jong-un is getting himself into a position where he either loses serious face or goes to war. If he wanted to go to war, he wouldn't need an excuse. We've seen this kind of posturing many times before. If he wants to have a go, then he should do it rather than talk about it. Either way, he'll be an embarrassment or incinerated.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about this being brought to the attention of Thais via T.V. or newspapers? No Thai I have spoken to has heard anything of the sort.

"Can some of you Chiang Mai residents post some pictures of the
smog/smoke/air pollution? I think a lot of us would appreciate seeing
it."

My friend has been trying to get his queue on line for a couple of days but every attempt to get onto CM Immigration's web site has failed. Does anyone know if they are re building their site or if anyone has successfully got onto the site in the last few days?

Thanks

To get a work permit you need to produce a tax receipt from the previous year. I've only ever been asked once to provide this to Labour Department in many years, but one day you'll be asked.

Great! No more police scams and paying tea money.

To put the burning law into perspective, the owner of the land near my home has about twenty longan trees and burns leaves once or twice a week. The fires are lit at about 5p.m. and there is a huge column of white smoke which can easily be seen and also there's the smell. Opposite this is a police station. They must be able to smell the smoke as we can and the police station is closer than we are. If the police can't be bothered to cross a road to put a fire out what chance do we have enforcing the burning law?

I thought that skilled workers from other Asean countries cannot earn more that their Thai counterparts. So if Filipinos want to teach here from 2015 they will have to take a pay cut, won't they?
