  1. There IS no cease fire at the moment, and until there is, AND it is fully observed by BOTH sides, I don't believe anything that comes from Trump's mouth. As for Starmer, he may speak for himself, he may even speak for the entire Labour party (which I doubt), but he does not speak for me. Nor do the Tories speak for me. I stopped believing in them when the grey man stabbed Margaret Thatcher in the back in the 1980s to become the PM.
  2. And just what HAS Trump done? Brought more peace to the world? Please explain exactly where he has bought more peace to the world. Israel/Gaza? NO Ukraine/Russia? NO Thailand/Cambodia NO The USA NO
  3. Then either you have been asleep for months or you need new news sources. It was all over the international news networks at the time. Alternatively , if you were not so lazy, a simple internet search would have shown you that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_strikes_on_Iranian_nuclear_sites On June 22, 2025,[b] the United States Air Force and Navy attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran as part of the Iran–Israel war, under the code name Operation Midnight Hammer
  4. The way that Trump and Hegseth want to decimate the US military there probably won't be enough people left to station the base anyway.
  5. YAs I understand it, to power a lot of houses etc by solar, you need a lot of solar panels and a lot of land to put them on and land costs money. The airfield where I was based in the 1960s is now a solar farm covering the entire runway. https://www.power-technology.com/marketdata/power-plant-profile-raf-west-raynham-solar-pv-park-uk/ RAF West Raynham Solar PV Park is a 49.9MW solar PV power project. It is located in England, the UK. Runways 02/20 1,765 metres (5,791 ft) Concrete 08/26 1,325 metres (4,347 ft) Concrete If you click on this link, then follow it down to Runways Direction and hover the mouse cursor over direction the is a photo of the solar panel site. And that is the area needed/used for only 49.9MW solar PV power project, What posters here don't seem to take into account is that they are powering 1 house, they don't seem to factor in the cost of the land, the cost of the solar panels, cleaning and maintenance, which is easy, when you are young and fit or if you have heaps of money. Who will look after it when you are dead and gone?
  6. But not I think as epic as if it was given to Greta Thunberg. Now that would set the cat among the pigeons.
  7. I always was under the impression that the 3 best ways to stop drones were, 1 Signal Jamming and hopefully tracing the control signals back to the source, 2 Overflying the drone and dropping a weighted net over the rotors. That should work for rotor powered drones, but not I think for propeller or jet engined drones.
  8. Keep Trump out of ANY peace talks. His success record so far is zero, despite all his blustering. I can remember his claim of ending the war between Russia and the Ukraine where he claimed that he could end it in one day, even before he was elected. Yet it is still going on. How about the Israel/Gaza war ending? Or the war in Rwanda, does that ring any bells?
  9. IMHO, by radical judges, Trump meas judges that oppose his actions which are mostly against the law.
  10. Amelia Earhart would be 128 years old now. Will finding any wreckage bring her back to life again? She disappeared in 1937, some 88 years ago and the majority of the world has either forgotten her or never even knew about her in the first place. Yet Trump has started yet another pointless diversion away from the Epstein files.
  11. And what absolute hell will Trump bring to the Palestinians? Already they are targeted by drones, helicopter gunships. tanks and armoured vehicles, shot at by the IDF for target practice, starved of fuel, food and medicine, their villages, houses, condos and infrastructure stl0len and destroyed, blockaded by land, sea and air. All Trump has to offer is to either use nuclear weapons, invade Gaza, or shout BOO very loudly. Long on threats but short on detail. Typical Trump statement.
  12. And it is so sad that they don't.
  13. Of course there is an insurrection. The greatest president in the USA has said that there is. And he would NEVER tell a lie, would he? 🤣 🤣
  14. Not me. I would simply let you die and concentrate on people worth saving.
  15. And are YOU out every day wearing a sandwich board warning of the dangers of non vaccination?
  16. Do you really think that @Nick Carter icpwould EVER admit to being wrong?
  17. Yet it is also bizarre that people support Israel and the IDF when they have slaughtered over 64,xxx men women, children and babies in the same period. In addition, Israel and the IDF are systematically starving the Palestinians of fuel, food and water, committing genocide, demolishing and destroying Palestinian buildings and infrastructure. Murdering entire Palestinian families, stealing their land and giving the land to illegal Israeli settlers for illegal settlement You think, without ANY proof, that Hamas are probably raping Israeli hostages, but you have nothing to back your words up with, and that alone justifies what Israel is doing to Gaza.
  18. Assuming of course that there will be an election in 4 months time and that the BJT win an overall majority of seats and form a single party government. It also assumes that the CC and the EC (and the military) agree with it. I don't think that the PP can win an overall majority, nor do I think that the PTP should be written off just yet.
  19. The best advice that I can offer (I use the 40,000 thb system through the Kamphaeng Phet office ) is that you not bother asking friends but talk directly to the Immigration department at Korat. They will tell you their requirements and it will be up to you to meet them. AFAIK all Immigration offices have the same basic requirements, BUT each IO can ask for extra documents or information. KPP for example wants to see 12 monthly statements and none must be less than 40,000 thb, even if the monthly average is above that level for the year. They also want 12 months bank statements plus a letter from the bank confirming that the account is in your name only. They also want to see that the bankbook is updated the same day that you apply, even if you only deposit 100 thb. The statements also need the bank stamp and be on the bank headed paper and either the bankbook and/or the bankbook need to show that the money came from offshore. In the bankbook it is usually coded as FTT or similar. On the bank statements it is usually shown as an International Transfer. I normally apply a couple of weeks before the renewal date. Bangkok Bank require 3 bank WORKING days notice for 12 months statements, not just 3 days notice,
  20. And that is the highlight of your day? What a sad life you must lead if that is the best that you can offer.
  21. And then look at all the 64,xxx plus Palestinians Killed by the IDF, and then you wonder why the Israeli's are disliked world wide.
  22. I have just done a quick search on Google for battery operated lawnmowers.\ and I have come across 2 main problems. 1 All of the sites want me to accept their cookies before showing me anything. 2 None of the sites seem to want to show their prices. I have a problem walking and standing as I have osteo-arthritis in both knees. so I can only cut the grass for a few minutes at a time before taking a break. I have about 2 rai to cut and most of it is long rough grass and scrub. Does anybody have any good links to models and prices? Thank ypou for any help that you can give.
  23. I have a similar problem with Cloud Flare and AN, but ONLY after 10pm Thai time at night. I can use AN all day with no problem, but after 10pm Cloud Flare asks me once only for verification that I am human. It doesn't matter if I am already online or if I have just come on line. I am not using a VPN and it only happens with AN and no other website. As soon as I am verified, the problem goes away.
  24. I spent 25 years in the British military, Does that mean I should get 25 votes?
