If Wife Dies Before Me.
billd766 replied to NoshowJones's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
It certainly clarifies it for me. You have described what, where and how you did it, and yes it was reasonably simple as both offices are in the same vicinity. Why other people may not believe you, is that for them the Provincial Amphur office and the Provincial Land office may be kms apart. -

Bank insists I wear a mask

Just a thought. If you were to go to a country which requires you to wear a mask, would you comply with their rules and regulations and wear a mask? -
Bank insists I wear a mask
billd766 replied to happydays's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
So out of 70 odd million people in Thailand a huge 3 948 members, 81 online are members. Am I impressed, not in the slightest. You seem to be a foreigner like the majority of posters here and ResistanceTHA does not apply to you anyway. -
EU corruption scandal: European Parliament offices searched

Believe it. The bigger the institution the more corruption there is, and the easier it is to hide it. -

My pc has an ad blocker. He has a mind blocker, so whatever you post in favour of common sense and mask wearing, he will mind block, because he does not agree with it, therefore you, me or anyone else are wrong and stupid. He is already on my ignore list. -
LTAT Mulls EV Replacement of Diesel Long Haul Trucks
billd766 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I see trucks around that must be 40, 50 up to 60 years old and still giving service. Now the LTAT will expect the new owners to pay the selling price of each EV truck at 5-6 million baht, AND replace the batteries every 6 years or so. To meet that target you can expect the cost of transport to sky rocket, which in turn will raise the cost of living even higher, given how much transport is moved by road. Where will all these truck charging stations be, and how long will it take to recharge the truck batteries? Serious thought and forward planning seems to be missing here. -
If Wife Dies Before Me.
billd766 replied to NoshowJones's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
My wife's family live in Bangkok, some 350 km away from us and we are on good terms with them. The house and land are to go to our son (18 years old now) when she dies. -
It is easy to impersonate anyone on Facebook. You can create a new account in anybody's name or you can simply hijack the account which is what happened to me. Only if Facebook notices the account goes against their "Community Rules" with they do anything. What they did to me was suspend the account IN MY NAME and contact details and they say it will be sorted out, usually within 24 hours. If you appeal against it then the account is suspended and after 30 days the account is shut down, OR SO THEY SAY. My account was suspended to me on 30 October this year yet it is still active today. You can appeal to Facebook but you need a Facebook account to talk to them. Catch 22 rules. I could regain my account but to do that I need to know the password that the hijacker is using, I need my email address and my phone number which is suspended to me as it is in use on MY hijacked account. Catch 22 rules.

XBB Covid Variant Spreading In India Will Soon Reach Thailand: Expert
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have just done a Google search and it seems that the USA is suffering, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/us/coronavirus-hospitals-capacity.html https://www.npr.org/2021/12/19/1065626395/hospitals-are-still-reeling-from-delta-as-omicron-cases-start-to-multiply https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59960949 The UK seems to be the opposite https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51768274 It seems to me that, if you want to search for a result that suits you, you can find one. It all depends on your point of view. -

Bank insists I wear a mask
billd766 replied to happydays's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
quote "People like you are the main reason why we have the issues with these totalitarian governments and government-matrix-agents worldwide nowadays." ???? ???? ???? Stupid people similar to you believe that they don't have to wear a mask to visit a bank, and get indignant and upset when they are not allowed to enter the bank without wearing a mask. They believe that it is an affront to their human rights and they demand, in their arrogance to be let in. OTOH smart people put on a mask for the period that they are in the bank. and take it off when they are outside again. I guess that makes you one of the stupid people, that there is no hope for. -
I am 78 and feeling my age. Between my neighbours hose and mine are 1 male adult, 3 female adults, 1 male teenager and 2 female teenagers. ALL the teenagers have had Covid despite being vaccinated plus one adult female. Of the 3 remaining adults there is me with 2 Pfizer jabs, my neighbour with 3 Pfizer jabs and my wife with 1 Sinovac jab. None of us has had Covid. None of us take vitamins, None of us are particularly fit. None of us believe it is scaremonger time and it never was.

Why would I have the desire to find out anything about Hunter Biden? I am not a US citizen so nothing about him affects me. AFAIK he was never in any government position and only is of interest to some people because he is the son of the current US President. Whether he took drugs, had porn on "his" laptop, did deals with other countries is a US problem. If he broke US laws let them deal with it. If there is enough evidence to convict him, then so be it. If not then let him alone to live his own life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden

The oldest Thai person in the village where I live died a couple of years ago. He was a few months past 100. I am 78 and have several farangs friends in their 80s who are still alive. There are lies, damn lies and statistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics The phrase was popularized in the United States by Mark Twain (among others), who attributed it to the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli.[1] However, the phrase is not found in any of Disraeli's works and the earliest known appearances were years after his death. Several other people have been listed as originators of the quote, and it is often attributed to Twain himself quote

Why should we believe you then? You offer no proof, you call many professional people liars but offer no proof, the link that you might have posted will be deleted according to you, so you won't post it. You claim that an unspecified group of Spanish scientists who found that found a very interesting undeclared ingredient in ALL of the "COVID-vaccines, but you won't say what it is. You claim in your words "There are literally thousands of independent doctors and scientists talking about it nowadays." but offer nothing further. Yet you expect people to blindly accept your word. As for your claim, "I know several people who got more or less severely sick just from the "normal" vaccines Sinovac and Sinopharm in Thailand. One died." My older neighbours grand daughter got Covid aged 14, my younger neighbour and her daughter aged 16 got Covid, my 17 year old son got Covid, All were vaccinated and all survived. My elder neighbour, 62, my wife 55 and I at 76 all vaccinated never got Covid. The vaccinations were Pfizer for most of us and my wife only had 1 vaccination of Sinovac. You can believe it or not, however I am not claiming anything else. You can believe whatever you want, as most other people do, and if they/I do, it is what we believe. You are, but offer no proof.
