  1. Sadly, I think that all the army radio and tv stations are still up and running.
  2. Or did the despised army sell out to the PTP, to retain some vestiges of power?
  3. How do you KNOW that the bike rider was travelling too fast? Were you there with a radar speed gun? Perhaps you managed to read the speedometer on the bike? Perhaps you have no idea, and are simply making an assumption or a guess?
  4. Looking at your post the car driver ALSO had plenty of time to indicate (which he didn't) and plenty of time to stop (he didn't stop either). So why should the bike rider be at fault?
  5. IIRC you claim that your Mum was bombed out during WW2. That means that YOU share the RAF responsibility with ALL Brits. If you really want to know the current policy, I suggest that YOU contact the MOD in the UK, and stop wasting your silly posts on me, especially as I left the RAF in 1984, some 40 years ago. The MOD and the government make policy, NOT serving airmen.
  6. I do hope not. That would be a cruel and unusual punishment to those poor innocent jurors, and I am sure that it would be against the Geneva conventions.
  7. Why do you persist in trying to drag up ancient history time and time again. The world has moved on from the 1940s. You, it seems have not. To my knowledge from 1960 to 1984 the answer is no.
  8. What confuses me is people like you who believe that every Palestinian is a Hamas supporter. Probably most Hamas people are Palestinians but NOT every Palestinian is a Hamas supporter. That would be akin to saying that every Jewish person is a Zionist which is clearly not true.
  9. You are correct. The war started back in the 1930s when Palestine existed as a British mandate, long before Israel even existed. Read up on the Stern gang, the Irgun, the Haganah and Likud, who were ALL proscribed as terrorist organisations.
  10. Neither. Just saying how it is. His Hamas? Nor have they slaughtered over 34,xxx Palestinians.
  11. I skipped the insult. I can't be bothered to reach that low level.
  12. Has Trump got over his defeat by President Biden yet? Yet YOU seem to believe that Hilary Clinton is bitter.
  13. We had the first rain since 22nd March in rural Kamphaeng Phet this afternoon, It cam with 3 power outages in 30 minutes, the third lasting 2 1/2 hours. Over Songkran we had the family and a couple of friends for a few days. 11 of us using electricity, a/c and water. My BIL fixed the downstairs a/c and that is now back on for 3 hours a day. My bedroom a/c is on for about 9 hours a night as were the 2 upstairs a/c. There are always 3 or four fans running somewhere 24/7. I got the electricity bill today covering Songkran. I was surprised and somewhat happy to see that it was only 39% higher at 4,511 baht compared to last month. My wife and I have gone back to dip showers from a 200 litre barrel in the hong nam. It is much cooler though the first load can be a shock to the system. The cat seems to be coping quite well, and luckily we have no dogs to worry about. The average temperature in April 2023 was close to this year but about 4 degrees hotter than 2022 We also had a lot more rain in 2022 that this year. It is easy to say, but try to stay inside and keep cool. Dip showers 2 or 3 times a day are great, if you have enough water to spare.
  14. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald Donald is a masculine given name derived from the Gaelic name Dòmhnall.[1] This comes from the Proto-Celtic *Dumno-ualos ("world-ruler" or "world-wielder" Perhaps his parents had big ideas when they named him.
