IIRC you claim that your Mum was bombed out during WW2.

That means that YOU share the RAF responsibility with ALL Brits.

If you really want to know the current policy, I suggest that YOU contact the MOD in the UK,  and stop wasting your silly posts on me, especially as I left the RAF in 1984, some 40 years ago. The MOD and the government make policy, NOT serving airmen.

I find it amusing that trump and his ilk are famous for screaming fake news fake news and here we have it in factual verifiable form as to who the author is and to who’s benefiting………and I believe the women perhaps trump will have to show his junk to the jury 😂 

I do hope not.

That would be a cruel and unusual punishment to those poor innocent jurors, and I am sure that it would be against the Geneva conventions.

Why do you persist in trying to drag up ancient history time and time again. The world has moved on from the 1940s.

You, it seems have not.

To my knowledge from 1960  to 1984 the answer is no.

It just blows my mind how some people can support Hamas, but a whole country supported hitler so I guess it's possible. 

What confuses me is people like you who believe that every Palestinian is a Hamas supporter.

Probably most Hamas people are Palestinians but NOT every Palestinian is a Hamas supporter.

That would be akin to saying that every Jewish person is a Zionist which is clearly not true.

Isreal started the war in 48?

Go back to school.

You are correct.

The war started back in the 1930s when Palestine existed as a British mandate, long before Israel even existed.

Read up on the Stern gang, the Irgun, the Haganah and Likud, who were ALL proscribed as terrorist organisations.

Same for me, though up country. My fridge/freezer cannot keep up, my bedroom A/C is struggling, don't need electricity for the electric shower, water comes out hot.

 

My 2 cats are near dead, the dog isn't much better, my electric has gone up by about 60%, via the f/f and bedroom A/C and fans, and folk come on here saying it is no different to any other year.....(tools).......🤔

We had the first rain since 22nd March in rural Kamphaeng Phet this afternoon, It cam with 3 power outages in 30 minutes, the third lasting 2 1/2 hours.

Over Songkran we had the family and a couple of friends for a few days. 11 of us using electricity, a/c and water.

My BIL fixed the downstairs a/c and that is now back on for 3 hours a day. My bedroom a/c is on for about 9 hours a night as were the 2 upstairs a/c. There are always 3 or four fans running somewhere 24/7.

I got the electricity bill today covering Songkran. I was surprised and somewhat happy to see that it was only 39% higher at 4,511 baht compared to last month.

My wife and I have gone back to dip showers from a 200 litre barrel in the hong nam. It is much cooler though the first load can be a shock to the system.

The cat seems to be coping quite well, and luckily we have no dogs to worry about.

The average temperature in April 2023 was close to this year but about 4 degrees hotter than 2022 We also had a lot more rain in 2022 that this year.

It is easy to say, but try to stay inside and keep cool. Dip showers 2 or 3 times a day are great, if you have enough water to spare.

Well, it doesn't show how the racist Thai started it all. The Thai racists deserves it and more.

DO you have any proof at all, any links, or do you think that your word is sufficient proof at all?

Were you even there at the time?

Until YOU come up with something concrete, your post is simply BS, racist and meaningless.

Nonsense.  There are probably less than 10 EV haters that post here, you being one of them.  Once a claim is refuted and accepted with source posted, I am not going back over >200 pages to find it for you, you probably read it anyway are just being obtuse.

 

Your own link provided enough evidence that those EV's are from bankrupt ride share companies.

What happened to your link? Or are you still too lazy to look for it?

Down to insulting people now, because they disagree with you.

The link is one of these 204 pages, I'm not going to waste time looking for stuff previously posted when your own link says they are from bankrupt ride share app companies.

So you are too lazy to search for a link to refute the link I posted, and rherefore I am supposed to accept your unsupported word.

To quote my old teacher at secondary school.

Poor effort, must try harder.

He was right about me, just as I am right about you.

And Netanyahu is the biggest problem in the ongoing Israel/ Gaza conflict, followed very closely by his (hand picked by himself) war cabinet.

As I said in my first post, it was false because they were actually vehicles from companies that went bankrupt.

 

You can’t abandon something when you go bankrupt, you’re no longer the owner.

 

We’ve been over and debunked this article or other versions of it last year, it’s a fake story.  Chinese EV owners are NOT abandoning them, they love their EV’s.

Keep beating the EV drum, but not that many people here in Thailand really want one and can afford one. If is is a fake story then publish the link that denies that all those vehicles have not been dumped, abandoned or whatever.

You can deny it as much as you wish, but if those people wanted to get rid of their EV they would sell it for whatever price they can get for it. They would be foolish not to do so.

If you are right and I am wrong then ALL those reports must be fake as well.

Now I would rather believe the people who made those reports and put then out on the internet for anybody to look at and fact check, rather than believe you, when you can't even post a link proving that it is fake.

3 hours ago, JBChiangRai said:

yes your own link suggests it’s a fake story and if I may quote

 

This time, the cars were likely deserted after the ride-hailing companies that owned them failed, or because they were about to become obsolete 

Actually it wasn't my story but picked up internationally.

If the vehicles were abandoned for whatever reason and not false. then the story is true.

Unless of course you come up with a better link to say that the story is false.

It doesn't matter that the ride-hailing companies that owned them failed, or because they were about to become obsolete, but the fact is the vehicles actually were and still are abandoned .

Did you miss what happened on the 7th of October last year? You don't think that it was hateful, murdering Muslim savages that attacked Israeli citizens? The Palestinians started the war and what did they expect Israel to do? Slap their hands and ask them not to do it again?

Do you think that the war started on October 7th 2023, or just this phase of it?

Should I say anything about the 32,xxx Palestinians' killed and the 66,xxx injured by the IDF or the countless dead buried in the rubble of their houses, apartments, villages, towns and cities? Or don't they matter?

Christianity has reformed over  the centuries. Islam has not.

It has reformed so well that each nation in the west believes that "god" is on their side.

It has reformed so well that there are so many christian religions have split off into sects within sects such as Catholics, Protestants, Church of Scotland, Baptists, Methodists etc and that is only a sample of the UK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_England#:~:text=After Christianity%2C the religions with,irreligion%2C including humanism and atheism.

What are the top 10 religions in the UK?

After Christianity, the religions with the most adherents are Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, Buddhism, modern paganism, and the Bahá'í Faith. There are also organisations promoting irreligion, including humanism and atheism.

According to the 2021 census, Shamanism is the fastest growing religion in England

When all the muslims convert to Christianity, Buddhism Hinduism etc, there will be peace.

Why should ONLY muslims have to convert?

Perhaps if or when ALL religions are abolished there MAY be peace.

fake story

 

ex-rental vehicles company went bust

True story.

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-china-ev-graveyards/

The story was dated 17 August 2023

It seems as though the oldest EV.s dumped are now about 7 years old and obsolete already, and some are newer than that.

A lot of other links on the internet telling the same or a similar story, if you want to do a little research to sort out true and fake stories and publish the links.

Do you have the link to prove that it is a fake story?

That's all very well but maybe not so efficient use of expensive high performance F-16s.

 

In 1992 the US sold to Thailand three E-2C AWACS having detection and tracking range of up to about 370 km or 230 miles - that would be sufficient for monitoring surroundering Thailand border airspaces.  But likely retired by now.

What AWACS does the RTAF have today if any?

 

I did find an article dated 2009* that Thailand would buy as part of an acquisition package of Swedish fighters, one turboprop S-1000 AEW by Saab, spread over a 5-year budgetary commitment from 2008-2012. Purchase of another Saab AEW was planned over another 5-year budgetary commitment from 2013-2017 but was "delayed." Perhaps by the RTA coup in 2014 that might have competing military needs? 

But today TRAF is using F-16s (apart from just accumulating flight time) for monitoring nearby Mynamar airspace suggests Thailand now has no AWACS.

* https://defenceforumindia.com "Thailand Buying JAS-39 Gripens, AWACS," dated Dec. 20, 2009

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_340_AEW%26C

In this link it looks as though the RTAF has only two Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft though how accurate the article is I have no idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Air_Force

In this article the aircraft are from 702 Air Control Squadron based with 7 Wing at Surat Thani. There is a sort of map that shows Surat Thani as about half way  between Prachuap Khiri Khan and Hat Yai, in the southern part of Thailand.
