Politics Pita Promises Return as PM Amidst Khon Kaen Mayoral Campaign
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
To bring reality into the equation and before Pita can confirm his words, first the party must win a general election with an overall majority of perhaps more than 300 seats. so that they do not need to form a coalition government. Next the party needs to win an overall majority in the senate. If they cannot win either or both then it is just talk and hot air, Thailand already has far too much of that from the current bunch of politicians. The other tricky bit is what will the military do IF he wins? Nothing is cut and dried yet, and until the next election and its follow up, nothing can be guaranteed. -

Trump Wants Alcatraz Back: ‘The Rock’ to Cage America’s Worst?
billd766 replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
IMO it will cost millions of USD$ to bring iy up to a habitable working an living condition then it will need staffing for 4 shifts 24/7/365. Where will they find enough staff for that. I think that water, electricity can/will be piped from the mainland, but everything else will need to be brought by ship. Does that Trump really understand anything? -
Myanmar Junta Blamed for 200 Deaths Despite Post-Quake Ceasefire, UN
billd766 replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
It is what many dictators and illegal military coup leaders do on a regular basis. They have no interest in reality nor in the population that they are controlling. They understand only violence, which keeps the population cowed, and makes them richer. -
It actually is NOT your NHS or my NHS or even "our NHS". It belongs to ALL the British citizens world wide who have paid their contributions. So you are advocating legal theft. There are very many British people living overseas who have paid taxes from their first day at work and will continue to pay tax until they die so why should they be penalised for making their own decisions what to do with their own life, without nanny government interfering.

And all Trump needs to do is to tell Putin to stop the war, remove the Russian military from ALL of the Ukraine and share the rare earth minerals etc. Good luck with that little task. However, do NOT expect the USA to come to the rescue of the Ukraine. Oh Horlicks, I have just remembered that the USA, under Trump, has pulled out of the peace negotiations with Russia and the Ukraine.

Worst Joke Ever 2025
billd766 replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
Some wonderful ideas here. -
IMO smashing all the stuff up with a hammer will only lead yp a bigger pile of broken bits foe me to get rid of, and they will probably end up in a landfill and pollute the environment. Something that I really don't want to do, especially if anything can be salvaged, reused or resold by somebody else.

IF a general election were called this month I think that Reform would win by default. IMHO neither the Labour or the Conservatives seem to have any policies that are attractive to the voters, the Lib-Dems and Greens don't seem to have any policies at all which doesn't leave any other options than Reform, who don't seem to be any better than the rest, but at least they cannot be blamed for for the state that the UK is currently in.

I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet and have a similar problem. We have old mobile phones. a tablet, 2 old laptop PCs, an old desktop, old keyboards, mouse, 4 old UPS, cables, power supplies and I can find no way to dispose of them. I don't want to throw them in the trash as many of them still have the apps and probably some data on the as well. What can I do with them?

President Zelensky....Master of the Deal!
billd766 replied to xylophone's topic in Political Soapbox
I am not sure if he likes the truth or not, but IMHO he doesn't understand or even want to understand it, unless it comes from Trump, in which case it MUST be the truth, because Trump has said so. -
IMHO, I don't think that you would need a reciprocal agreement to pay into a UK bank. Again IMHO, there should be a requirement to upgrade ALL state pensions to the current level and a far better Dual Taxation Agreement (DTA) between the UK and Thailand confirming that income tax must always be paid to the country that it was earned in, and not the muddle that it is now. Having said that, I was never a civil servant in the UK HMRC, nor was I ever an expert on international taxation laws.

You are farang, cannot adopt cat. It’s our policy
billd766 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
We never had a problem adopting a kitten/cat. It turned up a few months ago meowing for food. My wife fed it and she adopted us. Now I am the one that feeds it in the morning and opens the kitchen door at odd times if the cat is hungry. She is an outside cat and very sociable but on her own independent terms. -

Junta Airstrikes Kill 8 Civilians in Northwest Myanmar
billd766 replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
It is much easier for the illegal Myanmar government to bomb, kill and injure innocent civilians, than it is for then to attack armed freedom resistance fighters who fight back. -

And naturally you, and you alone have proof of that. If you have the proof, then feel free to post it. If you don't have the proof, why are you whining? Just get on with your life and ignore the things that you cannot change and don't affect you personally. -
Looking at the video, it appears that the scooter had come to a complete halt and was waiting to turn right. I cannot see if she was indicating or not. The Honda was going very fast compared to other traffic earlier in the video, but did not appear to slow down or attempt to turn away from the scooter. How sad for the poor woman and her children. RIP.

He reminds me of somebody screaming out to the world world, "Look at me, look at me. I am still here and I cannot be ignored". However he has been on my ignore list for quite a while, so the only time I see his posts are if somebody responds to him.
-
OK. Start your thread and keep a check on the response and compare it to this thread.
-
Probably because the UK political leaders are nowhere as near stupid as Trump. Plus most Brit posters understand about staying on the topic at hand, unlike you. Of course if you are a Brit there is absolute no reason why you shouldn't start a new thread about that topic, instead of trying to divert this topic.
