This week my wife bought me a 70g bar of dark Dubai style chocolate with Pistachio (probably from 7/11).

When I opened the box it looked as though the chocolate had melted so I popped it into the fridge. Whilst it solidified the chocolate, I had to use a sharp knife to cut it into 4 parts and I ate 1 per day.

That was the first chocolate I have had in years.

Simple question WHY , like it never happened..

AFAIR, any MP in the house is protected by parliamentary privilege and can say more or less what they like without fear of civil prosecution.

As Thaksin is not an elected MP he would not be allowed in the house, nor would he be protected by parliamentary privilege. He would not be allowed by law to defend himself against any accusation, true of false, brought by he opposition, nor could he take any opposition MP to court, simply because they ARE protected by parliamentary privilege.

What is it you do again?

 

The people that think he's a moron are clearly projecting. 

 

Talk about unhinged

 

Funniest thing on the internet today that! Thanks for the laugh.

Actually Musk doesn't make anything.

He is simply an owner and a sort of manager.

The people who work at the companies are the people who invent and make things.

If they didn't work for him, they would most likely be doing similar things for other employers.

Some of the comments from IG are hilarious;

- Sure, because hackers make sure to leave their VPNs on and never cover their tracks

- Someone forgot to use their VPN

- Big Balls sold the  code on the dark web

 

Highly doubtful it was Ukraine. Not that they don't do crap like that, but this is more of a Russian adventure  scenario, or more likely a  fail at the website that is easier to blame on "Ukraine" than to address.

Well I just dis a search on Google Earth. Countries bordering Ukraine (perhaps you could call it the Ukraine area if you wish), are in no particular order

Russia (also occupying parts of Ukraine)

Belarus

Poland

Slovakia

Hungary

Moldova

and of course Ukraine itself

That gives 7 countries in the Ukraine "area", where the cyber attack could have come from.

Available on Ebay. I've just posted a link to the O/P.

Thank you/

Yes, but for me I am dragging up memories of some 50 years ago, though the principles have not changed that much, though the materials probably have.

And what "good" reason would that be?

You don't need skill - you simply need to be anything other that a straight, white, male.
Well - according to the RAF and friends.

What a load of rubbish.

Of course you need skills and qualifications.

That is why prospective RAF aircrew go to RAF Biggin Hill for aptitude tests before they are even considered to be allowed to loin the RAF.

Who on earth would become a military pilot knowing they could be prosecuted later for actually killing people?

Dangerous careers need support from the higher ups giving the orders.

It is not the higher ranks of the military that are the problem.

It is, and always has been the politicians who send the troops out to do all the killing and the dirty work. They stay safe making sure that their hands never get dirty, and then abandon those same troops when the crap hits the fan and the mess comes their way.

He has a prosthetic leg and needs an extra gas pedal to the left of the brake pedal. In Belgium he drives such a car.

My FIL in the UK had that same problem. He lost his right leg at about 5 years old.

The local garage fitted an extra throttle to the left of the brake pedal  and the other end was placed on top of the existing throttle. it was a steel rod with a throttle pedal at the left end, and (I think) a clip or a clamp at the main pedal end. The steel rod was clamped to the floor of the car with U brackets.

I can see it in my mind and describe it, but I have no picture to show of it.

When able bodied people drove the car a small box was placed over the extra pedal.

The car was a Triumph 2000 with an automatic gearbox.

An alternative may be a hand throttle, but that may be more difficult to fit to a car.

Sadly I cannot ask him as he died in 1998 and the car probably was sold or scrapped.

Trump lies when he says other nations will pay for them. He lies when he says companies will pay for them. Consumers will pay, so it becomes a tax. Be bold Don and for once be honest. It is a tax hike. And it WILL slow down the economy and result in a massive loss of jobs, and major inflation. This is very dumb policy. 

The sad thing is that many of Trump's supporters in the USA still believe him, and sadder than that, some posters on AN believe in every word he says as well.

'ey up. There's trouble at t' mill.

Damn. I was half way through replying to your post, when I looked for something and completely lost the reply. I will try again tomorrow. Sorry.

Throw him out now and send him back to Switzerland, not wanted here with that attitude 

Send his dog with him at his expense as well and see what will happen if his dog bites somebody there. Also ban him for life from Thailand.

At least it is one question he will be able to answer correctly and one that you can trust.  I wonder if he has a wall calendar  with a daily/weekly total?

 

PS; Are they actually "likes" as in "I liked that post" or are they not just emoji clicks which means it includes all the sad and confused clicks as well?

I think that they are simply emoji clicks.
