  1. Said Mr Bumble talking to fictional magistrate about his wife.
  2. I agree 100% and neither Trump nor the "US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour " has ANY business interfering in another sovereign country's business. Deal with the USA problems and get that right first. Revoke their visas and return them to the USA with the label of NOT required in the UK.
  3. Where can I buy skins in Thailand to stuff sausages with. I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet some 65 km from the city. and to my knowledge there is nowhere around that I can buy any. I would like to get size 32 to 38 mm.
  4. My AIS mobile is post paid and the sim is enabled. Yes it works for me, though I don't make that many international calls/ It works with DTAD as well but perhaps with different prefix numbers. For True and anybody else I have no idea.
  5. It seems to me that the buyers cannot tell the difference between a genuine article and a fake, and they are buying for the name and the face only.
  6. I agree, but I couldn't find any polite way of saying it.
  7. Well the sooner that the people of the USA get rid of Trump, his yes men and his acolytes, the better, IMHO.
  8. I agree with you, however the US public voted the gop and Trump into power, and it is up to them to vote him out. Sadly the damage that he has done to the USA and the world so far will take the USA years or even decades to recover from, even if it can recover from Trump and the gop.
  9. Perhaps that could be a valid reason why manufacturers went offshore to manufacture the same item at a lower cost to the consumer and still make a profit. Under Trump's tariffs, it will cost the end user, who will have to pay more for the same item. Who gains from all this? The manufacturer who will have to sell more? The exporter who will have to sell more? The importer who most likely pass the increase straight on to the end customer. The end user, who will have to pay more for the same item? The tax revenue department who will get less revenue as less items will be sold? The manufacturer who may have to finance building new factories in the USA out of their profits? IF they build new factories, they will take the opportunity to install the latest robots which in turn will mean LESS jobs available for workers in the USA. So in the end, who actually gains and who loses?
  10. I see that you are still relying on Fox "News" for information.
  11. The people do not elect the PM. They vote for a political party and if that party wins the most seats but less than an absolute majority it is offered first choice to form a coalition government with another party or parties. If they still cannot form a coalition government after a period of time (I think it is 30 days but I am not sure) the party with the next highest number of seats is given the chance to form a coalition government. If they are successful the the largest party in the coalition offers a name (or names) to be voted on by that party alone, to become the PM.
  12. It would also mean that somebody on the airside had to have 2 identical suitcases to hers, that person would have to carry the suitcases into the airside baggage area, know which suitcases were hers, swap the labels over, remove her suitcases from the area and hide them, all on full view of the other shift workers and the CCTV cameras. The alternative scenario would be somewhat similar if it was done in the hotel. The problem with that is that most people would shower and put on clean clothes from the suitcase, lock the suitcase and get it carried down to the check out of the hotel. The bags could also have been swapped by the taxi driver who took her to the airport. Then she would go to the airport and check her bags, where one of the questions is usually "Did you pack your bags yourself"? All of theses scenarios involve more than one person other than her and TBH, even though I wrote them, I still wouldn't believe any of them.
  13. The 99,900 baht is for the basic version only and for 1 scooter only which most dealers can sell you. However if you want a large number, IMHO it "should be cheaper to go directly to Honda. The article does not say if the cost of spares and service is included or if the Thai police service their own bikes. The article seems to be a bit short on details like that. If a police bike only averages 50 km per day, 7 days a week for 1 year that is 18.250 per year and 127.750 km over 7 years, so after 7 years it will be fairly worn out.
  14. What do you NOT understand about the expression IMHO? It stands for In My Honest Opinion.
  15. Please show me where I claim to "know". What do you NOT understand about the expression IMHO? It stands for In My Honest Opinion. It seems to me that I know and understand what an opinion is, something that you obviously do not.
  16. IMHO I don't think that there will be another coup. The current army is in 2 parts and the larger part is more loyal to the King than to the army high command.
  17. Why do you think that Thai Immigration has gone insane, just because they are enforcing the law? When you arrive in Thailand on any sort of visa there will be an expiry date when you have to leave the country. If you know that expiry date than you know that is the date that you have to leave by. Depending on the type of visa, you may be able to extend it in country or you may have to leave Thailand and get another visa. If you overstay by a day or 2 and then leave it is no big deal, just pay the 500 baht fine per 24 hours. If however you knowingly overstay for weeks and month then you are deliberately breaking the law. Are you condoning law breaking?
  18. Could this be a reason why Trump hates being fact checked?
  19. I ignore all his posts as he is on my ignore list. I only see any of his posts if somebody responds to him.
  20. Better to simply pack up and walk away, and completely ignore Trump and his acolytes.
  21. Very poor and off topic deflection. The topic is about Trump and Ramaphosa and nothing to do with ex President Biden. Why is it that Trump supporters seem to be unable to stick to the topic?
