Homeowner Kills 20-Year-Old Woman After Her Vehicle Pulled Into His Driveway
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
To get up to our house and speak to someone, people have to come 40 or 50 metres up the driveway. In 18 years of living here we must have had hundreds of visitors who wish to talk to my wife, me or our son. We don't have and have never needed a gun to keep them away. Many years ago we had a visit from the police and the army looking for a long gun. Should we have shot at them for trespassing? -
That might be so, if you can provide the evidence for it. How IMHO as usual, you are just beating your gums as you have nothing of any substance that can be taken to any court in the USA as evidence against ANY Democrat. I am sure that if there were such evidence it would have been acted upon by now.

Bangkok covers an area of 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi), ranking 69th among the other 76 provinces of Thailand. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=area+of+bangkok&sxsrf=APwXEdd-gJcu4bsaueLJ4-guYKlY1Hw2cg%3A1686465649380&source=hp&ei=cWyFZPCNFZSloASEwaDgAw&iflsig=AOEireoAAAAAZIV6gQ_O6jfjFgdV8dX26-yrD9RCVpN3&oq=area+of+Bangkok&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIKCAAQgAQQRhD7ATIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjoECCMQJzoHCCMQigUQJzoICAAQigUQkQI6EQguEIAEELEDEIMBEMcBENEDOgsILhCABBCxAxCDAToOCC4QgAQQsQMQxwEQ0QM6CAguEIAEELEDOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToFCAAQgAQ6CwgAEIoFELEDEJECOggILhCKBRCRAjoLCAAQigUQsQMQgwE6CAgAEIAEELEDOgUILhCABDoICAAQFhAeEApQAFizOWD7xARoAHAAeACAAY0BiAH_C5IBAzcuOJgBAKABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz Within one year of Chadchart taking over as governor he has had to stop the slow decline of Bangkok. kick every department of the BMA in its collective azz. make them do the job that are paid to do, and reverse decades of decline. Quite frankly, I am surprised that he has managed to achieve as much as he has in the year. As for quote "We are dredging drainage pipes, improving educational services, installing more lights in public areas, enhancing footpaths, and burying communication cables underground." How many different departments and agencies for example would be involved in burying cables underground? I can think of AIS, DTAC, True, True TV, every other cable company. The MEA as well. Then you need to add the department that does the planning, the department that gets the permissions, the department that actually does the work, then get them all in the same place at the same time to actually DO the work from start to finish in all 1,568.7 square kilometres. Whilst it may not be happening in your part od the town, it may well be happening elsewhere in the city.

One year ago I could sit outside, look at the grass growing and cut it for an hour in the mornings 5 days a week. Now I sit outside and look at the grass growing and wonder when my wife can find somebody to cut it. I need to get a brush to see my stepladders now as they are covered in cobwebs. It IS an age thing.

As my fluorescent tubes fail I get them replaced by the LED versions. I do have a stepladder and an 18 year old son who replaces them. Sadly he goes off to uni in August, so somebody else will have to do the grunt work. At 79 and with a balance problem, I don't climb steps. The short (2 foot) LED fittings I buy in the local hardware shop complete for around 150 thb. The bigger 4 foot ones are around 300 or so baht.

NO, they don't. They don't for example cover anybody who instigates a military coup, who at a minimum should be jailed for a full life sentence. They don't cover those people who are incredibly rich and have low friends in high places. They don't cover those UNELECTED senators, or the UNELECTED PM either, or those ministers in the cabinet. They don't cover those people who tear up the constitution in have another one written in the favour and grant themselves and their cronies for all past, present and future activities. They only apply selectively to the people like Pita and Thanathorn who the government don't like, don't want and are terrified of them winning. They certainly don't apply to the majority of the Thai people.

Trump says he's been indicted in classified docs probe
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
What saddens me is that there are posters, even here on ANN, that when a direct link is quoted from Trump, they cannot or will not accept as a fact that it did come from Trump. They will deny, prevaricate, deflect, twist the post in every possible way they can, yet still not accept the truth. -
I have an account at both Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank and download my statements every month. I get the option of Excel, CSV or PDF. Kasikorn statements are from the oldest date to the newest and BBK is from the newest to the oldest. For them I go to (I think data) on the ribbon, and change the direction. I then made up an Excel spreadsheet and copy/paste with the data I use regularly and sort it out from there. I have been doing it that way for years and I am comfortable with it.

As a regular attendee of state hospitals I certainly don't doubt those figures. If you visit any state hospital any working day you will find hundreds of patients, some of whom have been there since 5 am. You will also see the first line nurse, several in the registration office, several more allocating patients to doctors and perhaps 3 or 4 in the emergency room. There are normally 2 or 3 per ward working a 12 on, 12 off shift 7 days a week, and that is about it. In private hospitals, where the pay is higher and the hours shorter, you will find swarms of nurses. You will however pay a lot more in a private hospital than a state hospital for the same treatment and vastly more for the same drugs.

You will only be taxed on income deemed to be UK sourced by the HMRC. If you worked for a UK company abroad on a contract then that income will be taxed. If you did the same job working on the same contract but for a non UK company you will not be taxed on that income. Depending on where the second company is based you may have to pay tax on that income or you may have to pay withholding tax in the country where the contract is based.

I am like you and get a frozen state pension, an Armed forces pension and a company pension, the last two DO get uprated every year. I also get a P60 from each of those pensions every year, and I pay a small amount of basic rate tax on my Armed forces pension (the remains of my personal tax allowance of GBP 12,500 at 20%) and the full basic rate of 20% tax on my company pension.

But IMHO it will not just be in Bangkok this time but spread across the country. In addition the army group that Prayuth led for the last coup is no longer in favour. AFAICS the most powerful group in the military now is the King's Praetorian Guard and they should do as they are ordered, NOT by the army, but by another person at the very top of the ladder.

I took my first diuretic tablet this morning after breakfast. I had a morning nap of just over an hour and woke for a pee twice. I am still fatigued, but the Furosemide used to reduce extra fluid in the body seems to be working well. The drawback is that I am drinking more fluids and the Furosemide is dealing with that. Catch 22.

Do your own research and come up with the answer, then post it on the thread.
