Woman Injured After Monkeys Snatch Her Bag With Food

Those monkeys and the majority in other places are vermin and should ALL be put down. -
Thai EV sales surge by 603% amid government incentives
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I wonder how much of a year on year gain there would have been if there were NO government subsidies and EV were on the same footing as ICE vehicles. I.E. no subsidies. -
It seems as though in the responses, 1 poster gave me a thumbs up, 1 poster agrees with me and one poster is confused. Well Mr Confused, why not respond in writing and tell me why you are confused, and I will see if I can explain it to you in a different way. Perhaps I didn't make my response clear enough.

Wise always send me an email telling me when my pensions arrive in my Wise borderless account. I transfer it the same day to my Thai Bangkok Bank account and keep track of it. Wise also send me an email telling me that my money is in the Bangkok and the time it will be available and they are rarely more than a couple of minutes off. They even tell me if it will be late due to a Thai bank holiday.

A long time ago I relearned how to drive a manual when the company gave me a very old Leyland (I think) truck to work with. It had a 5 speed manual gearbox (on the floor), a 2 speed rear axle, and NO synchromesh in the gearbox (called a crash gearbox back then). I was given an hours tuition and was taught how to double declutch (I still do most of the time in my 2001 Ford Ranger). It was called a crash gearbox because if you got the engine revs wrong you could still get it into gear, but you would go partly deaf as you shoved it into a gear. I also used to drive an Austin/Morris J2 van which had a 4 speed column gearbox change and if the gear lever worked you were in a gear, though not necessarily the one you actually wanted. Quite often yo would change up or down and get reverse instead. Nasty evil machine that was. I have also driven an old Armstrong Siddeley that had a pre selector gearbox. You could select any gear you wanted while driving and nothing happened until you used the clutch and it would then change to whatever gear was selected. My first wife in the UK had a couple of DAF 44s or 55s and she loved them.

If the Palestinians do that, all well and good. However at the same time the Israeli's must also hand over Netanyahu, his entire war-mongering cabinet and all the generals and field commanders to the ICJ, after reminding them that the excuse "I was just following orders" is NOT a valid excuse as was clearly pointed out at the Nuremberg war trials after WW2, when the Germans were accused and quite rightly sentenced for the genocide of many of the Jewish people, along with the genocide of homosexuals, transvestites and gypsies from all over Europe. The Israeli's must also give up all the land and settlements that they have built on stolen Palestinian land since 1973.

British man quits England for Thailand’s tropical tranquility
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I wonder what he will do when he learns that he cannot actually own a house in Thailand legally? A condo, yes, but a house. I wonder if he also realises how difficult it can be for a foreigner to get a loan etc in Thailand? -
Fani Willis decision in Georgia judge’s hands after final hearing
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You still believe that a convicted criminal is better than an honest man. I feel sad for you. I won't even bother to answer your posts any more. -
Fani Willis decision in Georgia judge’s hands after final hearing
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yet millions of gullible Americans, and even people on this website really believe Trump would be a better president than President Biden, including the gop members of the senate and the house. That is the desperation level that the gop has reached. A new lower level of belief and desperation in the swamp. They actually want a convicted criminal to become the potus. -
Swiss “doctor kicker” previously verbally assaulted an ambulance driver
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Why? It is not as though you can do anything about it, if you did have his criminal record. -
Thank you. The question that I asked was, though I probably didn't put it that well, was basically does it or should it, make any difference if the money I am transferring to Thailand is last years money, or in my case this years money as it arrives in my Wise bank account. I do understand that my military pension is non taxable (non assessible) in Thailand, so would I need to the Thai RD? I have a print that I made showing the breakdown of the dates and amounts of my 3 pensions transferred to my BBK branch in Kamphaeng Phet for last year and I can probably do another 5 years back if required. Mike, if you need those figures for last year, I can PM them to you.

Foreign Man Throws Glass At A Thai Woman In A Dog Cafe

The simple answer is don't go into a café that allows dogs. Common sense 101 and not rocket science. -
Worst Joke Ever 2025

I was so glad that I used an English clock to teach my son how to tell the time, and NOT a clock with Thai numbers. -

And who will take the responsibility when the body bags start coming back to the USA? Who will take the responsibility when that war mongering manic starts throwing nuclear weapons about? Putin won't give a monkeys. HE will be safe in his bunker under the Kremlin. It won't bother him if 100 or 200 million Russians die. How many millions of other, innocent people will die because of him? HE will have won the war to nothing.

A good curse would be "May the fleas of a million camels (a thousand camels would not be enough) infest the multiple crotches of the gop, their fat so called leader, and ALL the magadontians who support them, and may all their arms be to short to scratch them". And may the war-mongering Putin, his war-mongering cabinet, and all his war-mongering supporters be infested with a thousand leeches each.

I have spent the last hour digging around the internet, not Lazada, and there are 3 companies in Bangkok, one that does casings here http://www.botthailand.com/casing/natural-casing.html also here https://www.desertcart.co.th/brand/sausage%20maker and they sell sausage casings and sausage sausage stuffers here and the other company does a lot of different seasonings. https://www.ubuy.co.th/en/productuk/3VMO5XYYW-premium-pork-sausage-mix I had to do a fair bit of back and forward work searching for odd bits. I have a George Foreman meat grinder that I bought in NZ years ago with a sausage stuffer attachment and I used to have/still have/but I have NO idea where it is now, separate sausage stuffer that I used a few years ago. I can't even remember if it was a vertical or a horizontal stuffer, push down or crank handle. The problem that I found in making sausages is unless you are making them commercially or you really really like sausages, is that after the first 5 kg or so that you eat you get bored with them. It is also a lot of work for a small quantity.

I am thinking about making sausages again here in Thailand. Does anybody know where I can order online, seasonings and sausage skins? I used to order that stuff from a company in the UK called Weschenfelder and get a mate to hand carry it. I sent them an email last month asking if they could post stuff and they don't send offshore now, as the cost of shipping it is 4 or 5 times the price of the items. I used to get the skins from Makro, but they came in a 1kg frozen lump of various lengths and all tangled together.

It probably won't remember a 20 year old conversation and repeat it word for word either.
