UK Forecasting Fear: Has the Met Office Lost Sight of Its Mission?
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The UK weather forecast mainly affects the people of the UK and any UK tourists going back in the next couple of days. It is of no use at all to Thailand where most people onl need the local weather report. -
Our UK State pensions Late in crediting our bank accounts
billd766 replied to jwest10's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Mine gets paid directly into my Wise UK borderless account. I must have missed the bit about where it is paid directly into a Thai account. If I did, my apologies. -
Our UK State pensions Late in crediting our bank accounts
billd766 replied to jwest10's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If the payment due date is at the weekend or on a UK public holiday, my 3 pensions are always paid earlier. I don't think that I have ever been paid late yet. -
Uf Y sharpen outside tools like the garden shears, the sickle or the weed whacker blade, I usually use my angle grinder to get the nicks out and the finer bench grinder to finish them off. they don't need to be as sharp as the knives.

I bought mine from the local hardware shop, though I did go online to get a picture and a translation into Thai. I generally use olive oil (I have some handy) and give each knife and the cleaver about 50 stroke on each edge.

Video Outrage as Tourists Caught Urinating on Pattaya Beach
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Do you really think that Indians are the only people on the beach at night? Public toilets would be available to everybody and NOT just the Indian people. -

Perhaps the Pattaya city council should consider increasing the number of public toilets and keep some of them open 24/7/365. Just an idle thought. -
Report Phuket Cannabis Shops Raided in Major Regulatory Crackdown

How about the relevance to Thailand Phuket Cannabis Very few people care about the Mirror, which is a daily paper published 8,000 miles away in the UK. -
So doing better than some countries over Covid and congratulating the USA about the 4th of July are Prayuth's high points according to you. Yet committing an illegal military coup, stealing the entire country at gunpoint, tearing up and re-writing the legal constitution doesn't seem to matter, interfering with the proper election process which was ongoing doesn't seem to matter to you either. NEVER being punished for any of this does matter to me. Prayuth was a failure from the start and always has been. He didn' even get elected at a legal election, even though a political party, the UTN was created especially for him.

Of course if you have a problem with Thailand buying the submarine, (IMHO it is a waste of time and money), I suggest that you take it up with tha admirals who ordered it in the first place, all the Defence Ministers who dithered with it in the first place, and Prayuth under whose illegal coup government ordered it in the beginning. IMO, Phumtam signed it off instead of playing pass the parcel with it. However that is simply my opinion. YMMV.

UK Starmer’s Rebellion Problem: Cracks in Labour Could Deepen Fast
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Rachel Reeves is a politician. Politicians must have thick skins or quit their job. If she was crying, especially in Parliament, because plan A doesn't/didn't work, then roll out plan B. If you don't have a plan B then you are in deep trouble, and a few tears won't help you out. -
AFAIR the EU is protected by the independent UK, independent French and the independent US nuclear "umbrella". I certainly wouldn't trust the USA under Trump at the moment, and I am not sure how far I would trust the French either. If the EU were to get its own independent nuclear deterrent, which country or countries would control it or would it take a consensus to release it. By which time it would most probably be too late to be of any use.

There is nothing wrong with the crossings. It is due to the many stupid drivers and the complete lack of enforcement and punishment. What should happen, but probably won't, is that the bus driver should be charged with multiple offences and jailed for a minimum of 10 years, lose his licence for life, be sacked from the bus company and the bus company fined 19 million baht.

There is no point in doing something if it isn't going to work. -
Covid was a while ago and I can remember back to 1993 when I first came to Thailand to work. What was in the part now is still in the past. If Prayuth was such a great leader as you claim, why was he not a member of ANY winning political party, why did he NOT get enough votes to be elected as an MP. After all the UTN was created especially for him to become elected and become the PM. That didn't turn out so well did it? Come out of the stolen past, and into the real present and the uncertain future of Thailand.
