  1. The current (caretaker) government is already supporting over 14 million thais (though not the ones who really need the money) and where does that money come from? Every holiday the government picks up half the tab for transport and hotel bills. Where does that money come from? Certainly not from Prayuth and his illegal military coup mates.
  2. Would you believe Trump if he said it? He still tells lies every time he speaks.
  3. The latest "hot" news from "Fox News" only 3 weeks old and you believe it? Well I suppose as a Trump supporter you would believe anything from Fox News slagging President Biden off. How is your superhero getting on with his court cases?
  4. I suspect that he was persuaded to marry Diana even though he loved Camilla. Have you any idea what the divorce rate is in the UK? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/most-divorces-london-uk-census-data-b1062398.html The divorce rate in the United Kingdom is estimated at 42 per cent, with many believing these rates have increased in recent years. Unreasonable behaviour is the number one reason for divorce in the UK, with adultery being responsible for around 14 per cent of marriage breakups. I very much doubt that Camilla is or ever was a homewrecker and many UK marriages have ended in divorce through adultery, including mine and perhaps many other peoples living here in Thailand. My current Thai wife who I have known for 30 years next month and been married to for 23 years, Did NOT wreck my marriage as I managed that all on my own. You seem to have a particular hatred for Camilla. I wonder why? Is your married life so much "holier" than anybody else's? I have friends in the UK who are still married for the first time and friends who are on their 2nd or 3 wives. Does that make some of them 100% right and the others 100% wrong? Why are you not blaming Anne and Andrew for being divorced, but only Charles and Camilla. As for Harry, have you forgotten his brother William, who also went through the same trauma as Harry. He doesn't seem to have written any books blaming his father or his family for the divorce. He just gets on with his marriage, his job and his life.
  5. Why do you say Camilla is vile? You may not have noticed but that was a couple of thousand years ago.
  6. You may think so, but I and millions of other Brits would disagree with you.
  7. It is Charles Coronation and his choice of who should be where. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65213428 Community representatives set to attend the King's coronation have spoken of their joy at being invited. King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, have invited 850 people to the 6 May ceremony in recognition of their charitable contributions. The group includes 450 British Empire Medal recipients and 400 young people from groups chosen by the Royal Family. Julian and Maria Sturdy-Morton, who ran a lockdown food delivery service, said it was "humbling" to be asked. At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, the couple set up a network connecting wholesalers, who were struggling to stay afloat, with households unable to secure a supermarket delivery or get to the shops. Quality food which would otherwise have gone to waste reached 500 households in south west London, including 100 people who could not afford to pay. He has invited people who have actually helped other people and not the freeloading members and whiners in his family. Good for him and Camilla.
  8. But this government has been giving money away for years already, just not to the people who really need it.
  9. I failed the brake test as there were only 2 pedals for an automatic gearbox. It took me several tries to explain to the lady that my Ford Ranger has a 5 speed manual gearbox and 3 pedals. My right foot went to the brake pedal and my left to the clutch pedal which wasn't there, but is in my truck. I was also changing down the gearbox, which also wasn't there.
  10. I stay indoors during the heat of the day with a wall fan blowing on me. I use sachets of Oral Hydration Salts in a powdered form. I pay 5 baht a sachet OTC at the local pharmacy mixed with 750 ml cold water. I am up to 3 or 4 a day now and they seem to work for me.
  11. MTG calling Laura Loomer mentally unstable, a bigot and a liar. That must be the most stupid remark that she has made all week.
  12. Plus a caretaker government. with no legal authority to pass or even introduce any new laws.
  13. My last delivery for 5 x 20 inch, 5 micron water filters was 53 thb. Delivered within 26 hours. Standard delivery rate of 53 thb. Delivered from Bangkok to rural Kamphaeng Phet. AFAIR the shipper sets the delivery price depending on the courier they use. Incredibly good service from Flash Express and the supplier, 108 Water Mart.
  14. Just to save 3 baht a time. I would be lucky to save 60 baht in a year.
  15. Perhaps many of the aircraft could have been flown out, but the helicopters and drones would need to be transported out by air. Anything wheeled might have been driven out but tracked vehicles would need to be transported. That would have most likely have been from Kabul and all areas through the Khyber Pass, a death trap. into Pakistan and down to Karachi docks, some 1,400 km one way. The aircraft would probably have flown to Karachi airport before being dismantled and shipped back to the USA. The cost would have been enormous and certainly more than the value of the equipment. How many transporters would have been needed to be driven from Karachi to Kabul and return just to bring 1 or 2 tracked vehicles each trip. Not to mention the complicated agreement that would be needed with Pakistan to transit the country.
  16. my login page says a different day. Saturday.
  17. Nothing surprises me about Trump supporters, either here on ANN or in the USA. It proves that you can fool some of the people all of the time.
  18. Do YOU have the proof that they are all made up charges? If so, then publish it on the social media, send it to the courts and prove them wrong, send it to the GOP as they are looking to disprove it. But PROVE it, if you can.
  19. And ALL caused by one person only. Donald Trump.
  20. My State pension came in 1 day early as today is Good Friday and a long weekend including Easter Monday in the UK. I had forgotten about that.
  21. If more money is needed, then scrap the submarine and jet fighters and cut the military budget by 50%. Sack a thousand or more generals.
  22. Promise me that you will wake up and try to understand the world If the daily wage (assuming that you have a job) is about 380 thb nowadays what do you think it was in 1960? 50 baht a day? More? Less? So how can you save for your future, even nowadays? Company pensions in the west are paid into by the worker and by the government. I am still not sure if you are a troll or simply mentally deficient.
  23. And a war that ASEAN is ignoring.
  24. It is a forum and open for anybody to reply, whether you like it or not.
  25. There are older people in the villages in rural Thailand who HAVE to exist on the 600 thb pension and subsidies as they have no choice. When they die at least in the village where I live the Pu Yai Ban has a collection from everybody (including me) for their cremation. If according to you there are no poor people in Thailand why would this need to happen? You obviously have no idea of the real life of the Thai people out in rural Thailand.
