  1. It looks as though the MG dealer in Kamphaeng Phet has closed down for some reason. It is on the route 1 southbound from KPP, and it looked all shut up and deserted and no cars in sight anywhere, not even an MG, on Wednesday afternoon 19 March 2025.
  2. And out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet we were at 128 or 46.5 this morning. Now it is 119.
  3. Why? I have no interest whatsoever in watching F1. You are probably correct, but that is not what @henryford1958 who I was responding too, actually said.
  4. But that is not what @henryford1958 who I was replying too, actually said. His words, not mine. Let's hope it's not at Buriram with no accommodation within 50kms.
  5. The problem with all this for Trump is that he can only delete stuff in the USA. He cannot delete stuff that is already freely available on the internet, as many other people may well have downloaded it already, and that will be totally outside his control.
  6. Would you like to do a search for accommodation in BuriRam? There seems to be a large number of hotels and booking sites that seem to prove differently to you.
  7. Thank you for that information. My Thai wife, not a wifey or any other name, of 25 years is called Saisunee
  8. Personally I prefer to pay COD. That way it is safer as nobody can access my credit/debit card, i don't have to go through the return hassle of using a "wallet", and if it doesn't turn up. then I haven't paid for it anyway. However that is just my opinion, others may differ. Also if I pay in cash I can look at the heap of money and ask myself, do I "REALLY" need this item, or do I simply like and want it?
  9. Convicted in a court owned by the military, after an illegal military coup to oust him.
  10. And you know this how? Do you know them personally? Did you go ton the trial that they didn't get? If you claim something, why not at least try to back it up with facts or a link.
  11. Not only deporting them, but in handcuffs .
  12. Why should he be worried? His country is Thailand. BTW, he does have a proper name which is Thaksin. Perhaps one of his screen names s Tony. Is watchcat your real name or simply an alias? And which is your country of origin, since you seem to be questioning Thaksin's?
  13. I wonder what has happened to Trump's claim that he will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, or is that a forbidden (by Trump) subject nowadays? https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/15/trump-says-he-was-a-bit-sarcastic-when-he-claimed-he-could-end-the-war-in-ukraine-in-24-ho US President Trump claimed he wasn't being serious when he repeatedly claimed he could end the war in Ukraine in 24-hours during his presidential campaign. https://apnews.com/article/trump-russia-ukraine-war-solved-f51b96e4e690341caee65358bcbab1fa Trump says he was being a ‘bit sarcastic’ when he promised to end Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours President Donald Trump speaks to reporters during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House in Washington, Thursday, March 13, 2025. (Pool via AP) President Donald Trump speaks to reporters during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House in Washington, Thursday, March 13, 2025. (Pool via AP) By MICHELLE L. PRICE Updated 8:49 AM GMT+7, March 15, 2025 Share WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that he was “being a little bit sarcastic” when he repeatedly claimed as a candidate that he would have the Russia-Ukraine war solved within 24 hours — and even before he even took office. Trump was asked about the vow he repeatedly made on the campaign trail during an interview for the “Full Measure” television program as his administration is still trying to broker a solution 54 days into his second term. “Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that,” Trump said in a clip released ahead of the episode airing Sunday. “What I really mean is I’d like to get it settled and, I’ll, I think, I think I’ll be successful.” It was a rare admission from Trump, who has a long record of making exaggerated claims. https://www.wsj.com/video/watch-trump-says-as-president-hed-settle-ukraine-war-within-24-hours/0BCA9F18-D3BF-43DA-9220-C13587EAEDF2 There are many more links saying similar things. IMHO, Trump as usual, was simply shooting his mouth of with no idea what he was talking about.
  14. So if Canada cuts off oil supplies, cuts off electricity supplies, heavily taxes all oil tankers traversing Canada from Alaska to the USA, raises tariffs on all US goods to the equivalent or higher than the US rates, does that mean that the USA will not be affected in any way at all?
  15. For the confused poster who posted the confused emoji. If you cannot understang rhe written words, just try looking at the pictures.
  16. I am just reading Spike Milligan's series of his part in WW2. A very interesting story. I am on book 4 of 5 where the Allies are fighting their way up from the toe of Italy. They are not are history of WW2 as much as a personal recollection of what really happened during that time.
  17. The USA is whining about 40 Uyghurs being deported from Thailand to China. This is one way the USA deports illegal aliens. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp9yv1gnzyvo
  18. It is also cheaper to buy, far cheaper to use per flying hour, needs far less maintenance and is not reliant on fixed airbases which are vulnerable in a war situation. Spares are cheaper and it cannot be "switched off" by the USA.
  19. And the cows seem to be the ones with the brains.
  20. Not of course that Riclag would be biased in any way against, in his own words "the left wing".
  21. It would be interesting if the US-based Freedom House did a survey and a poll on the USA now, especially if the pollsters were non white and women or of Hispanic origin. I suspect that the USA would get a lower rating than Thailand.
  22. I am 80 with osteo arthritis in both kneecaps. I found exercises for the elderly on the UK NHS website. I spend about an hour a day doing 5 exercises at home, and take an exercise day off. usually once every 7 to 10 days. No gym fees, and I can stop at any time my body gives me a warning. I have been doing it for 2 or 3 years, but I got lazy and took 6 months off last year. This year I started again back at the beginning and it is harder to do than before I stopped. Some links if anybody is interested.

  23. I do a daily forex rate check on KBank, Bangkok bank, Wise UK where my pensions are sent to and XE simply as another reference. KBank is usually the worst followed by Bangkok bank. Both are lower than Wise, but when I transfer from Wise to BKK bank I get a better exchange rate, and XE is simply another reference.
  24. He is supposedly a former MP. Why has he waited so long to bring this topic up? Is this a new thing that has just started, or has it been going on for years, even during the time that he WAS an MP?
