  1. quote "Unfortunately I am currently handicapped to drive there". Now that feeling I know very well lately. Mostly all I can do now is sit, watch and give advice. It is incredibly frustrating seeing somebody do the work that I used to do easily, plus waiting for somebody to turn up to actually do the work.
  2. I have a Mitsubishi 305ER but that covers the 2 floors of the house and my MIL old house/kitchen. I put a 1 inch valve on each side of the pump and the pump O/P can be regulated by the O/P valve. It has a bonus of being able to easily remove and replace the water pump should I need to.
  3. https://www.wapcar.my/collect-faqs/honda-jazz-specs-1637661540248#:~:text=Fuel recommendation Your vehicle is,higher may be used temporarily. Fuel recommendation Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded petrol with a research octane of 91 or higher. If this octane grade is unavailable, regular unleaded petrol with a research octane of 88 or higher may be used temporarily.
  4. What the Republic group omit to mention is that the £345 m/ year is only a proportion of the revenue raised and the other huge portion goes to the Treasury and into the general spending area. However I would not expect anything better from them. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1220546/crown-estate-revenue-uk/#:~:text=In 2022%2F22 the revenue,by an independent public body. Net revenue profit of the Crown Estate in the UK 2013-2023 Published by D. Clark, Jun 29, 2023 In 2022/22 the revenue profit of the Crown Estate was 442.6 million British pounds, compared with 312.7 million pounds in the previous reporting year. The Crown Estate is a collection of properties nominally belonging to the British monarch, but managed by an independent public body.
  5. Good golly. Oh no I'm not. But you soon will be.
  6. Perhaps because too many US voters looked at him, saw what he really is, disliked what they saw, and got rid of him by legally voting in President Biden. Another reason why he did not stay is because both the popular AND the electoral college voted against him The saddest thing about Trump, is that even now, nearly 3 years later he cannot believe that he was not wanted,

  8. There are many people who believe in him, even here on ANN/TVF.
  9. It is NOT the UK government but the UK Home Office that is the problem. Very few, if any are willing or capable of putting their own lives on the line, so they use the fallback excuse of, our hands are tied and we cannot change the rules. One of my best managers told me many years ago that rules were meant for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men. He was right as is proven here. A different manager told me later that it is better to do it first, and ask for forgiveness, than not do anything at all. The acronym he used was JFDI, and he was also right.
  10. Not according to TripAdvisor or CNN travel. Nothing in Thailand in their top 10 beaches in the world. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/best-beaches-2023-tripadvisor/index.html Top 10 beaches in the world for 2023, according to Tripadvisor 1. Baía do Sancho - Fernando de Noronha, Brazil 2. Eagle Beach - Aruba, Caribbean 3. Cable Beach - Broome, Australia 4. Reynisfjara Beach - Vik, Iceland 5. Grace Bay Beach - Turks and Caicos, Caribbean 6. Praia da Falésia - Olhos de Agua, Portugal 7. Radhanagar Beach - Havelock Island, India 8. Spiaggia dei Conigli - Sicily, Italy 9. Varadero Beach - Cuba, Caribbean 10. Ka’anapali Beach - Maui, Hawaii
  11. Trump has the attention span of a gnat, but only half the brain power. IMHO he is just as annoying.
  12. Really? You can prove that I suppose by publishing the links etc, otherwise I only have your unsubstantiated word, which is on a level with mine. quote "That´s a well known fact." Well you claim it is so, therefore prove it.
  13. It is called common sense really, https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/WLD/world/population#:~:text=The current population of World,a 0.83% increase from 2021. The current population of World in 2023 is 8,045,311,447, a 0.88% increase from 2022. IMHO ANN/TVF has most probably less than 100,00 registered posters, and possibly less than half of those are not active, Quite a few short of the 8,045,311,447 people in the world. Of course you system of mathematics may differ from mine, but for more than half the world population TVF would have at least 4,022,655,723 + 1 registered users and I seriously doubt that they have that many. Unless of course you know better,
  14. Why should they NOT be expected to campaign/ contribute to schemes aimed at helping Britain's homeless? The reason is called democracy. IF/when Republic gains enough votes to establish a political party, win a general election and make the laws then things may change, Until that point they should obey the same rules as the rest of us do. Taking your example, why should I have to pay income tax on my pensions in the UK when I left the UK in 1999? The answer is those are the rules, whether I like it or not. As for your comment quote "You might as well criticise the RSPCA. As far as I'm aware they do nothing to aid the homeless (humans) either." The answer is that the RSPCA was not set up to aid the nomeless in the UK. Any idiot can understand that by the title "Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_for_the_Prevention_of_Cruelty_to_Animals The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) is a charity operating in England and Wales that promotes animal welfare. The RSPCA is funded primarily by voluntary donations. Founded in 1824, it is the oldest and largest animal welfare organisation in the world. Nothing about helping the homeless in the UK about it at all.
  15. Having read the OP link I did not see any price or value of insurance at all.
  16. I remember the Johnny onion man from the 1950s at Poole in the UK. They were big rasty onions too. Made to make your eyes water.
  17. If at 75 you cannot control your motorbike, then it is time to quit. I made it to 76 (just) before I quit. Now I am 79 and I have had 2 blackouts so I quit driving at 78.
  18. Then why don't they take the soi dogs to their home and look after them properly?
  19. How odd that you say that, My son who went to state schools in rural Kamphaeng Phet was taught English from P1 to P6 and M! to M3.
  20. Quite a few, but not all older people may fit your theory but they are dying off and more and more younger voters are coming forward. It is THEIR country and THEIR future, not yours or mine and definitely not the dinosaurs future.
  21. Naturally you have the proof that Pita and the MFP are supported by the USA, otherwise we only have your word, which IMO is not worth a lot. Talking for yourself again. quote "We all move here to escape that." No WE all did NOT move here to escape that. Who is WE anyway? You certainly are not talking for me nor I believe are you talking for many other posters. So who ARE you talking about when you claim WE?
  22. But who criticised him? The UNELECTED senators, the caretaker government parties? The main difference between Wan Muhamad Noor Matha and the rest of the yapping mob, is that he was LEGALLY elected to his position and they were not.
