But the person responsible will not die in a trench of hypothermia, nor will he be wet, cold , hungry and miserable. IMHO, until the Russians get rid of Putin the war, because that is what it is, will drag on. If you were able to talk to the Russian troops, a majority would be more than happy to give up and go back home alive without missing fingers, toes or other body parts to frostbite and hypothermia.

Those 32,xxx posts are since 2003 which actually works out at less than 5 posts a day (I had to use the calculator to work it out). IMHO I don't think that any developed nations are already looking forward to the next pandemic. How can you plan for something that you don't know will happen? If you stockpile vaccinations, how many different vaccinations of each type to you stockpile, and what happens to the stocks that you don't use and have paid for?

Good for the western countries, who are helping the Ukraine to get and keep warm during the bitter witter which is coming.

They did not ask to be there. For that you can blame only one person, the homicidal maniac called Putin whos delusions of grandeur rival those of Napoleon and Hitler. ANY troops of ANY country who are not supported by their country and their leaders, deserve sympathy, as they are thrown into conflicts and wars simply as cannon fodder.

I was responding to his post about the capitalising of the words themselves. I don't know of anybody up here who has actually died of Covid, but my son who is in his last term of M6 was told on Sunday not to come to school today as 5 of his classmates reported in with positive Covid symptoms over the weekend. They are all 17 and 18 years old and healthy so they should be OK. The problem that I see is on the forum is that if anybody has the symptoms and dies, too many posters still believe and post that that is what they died of.

I paid 95.75 baht for 2 litres of Meiji black cap milk in the local 7/11 in rural Kamphaeng Phet this morning.

Why?

People are still catching Covid/covid and dying worldwide and you are muttering about capitalisation, something that doesn't really matter. You need to get a life.

BTW the Philippines was a colony of Spain from 1571 to 1898 when the Spanish ceded it to the USA in 1898. The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer leading a fleet for Spain, marked the beginning of Spanish colonization. In 1543, Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos named the archipelago Las Islas Filipinas in honor of Philip II of Spain. Spanish settlement through Mexico, beginning in 1565, led to the Philippines becoming ruled by the Spanish Empire for more than 300 years. During this time, Catholicism became the dominant religion, and Manila became the western hub of trans-Pacific trade If you are going to tell the story, then tell the whole story or provide a link for posters to read if they wish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines#Early_states_(900–1565)

I feel sorry for the Russian troops simply because they are poorly trained and very badly led by their officers. A good officer makes sure that their troops are well fed, sheltered and looked after. A really good or a brilliant officer makes sure that his troops are fed and sheltered before himself. However it seems that the Russian army officers take after their leaders and look after themselves and leave their troops to find what food and shelter they can. It is NOT the way to win a battle or a war, and the troops will only reluctantly fight and only then if they have to.

Pure speculation.

Some people cannot afford to take the time off in case there is no job to go back to. At this point nobody knows what he died of, including you. So why are YOU speculating that he died of a covid infection?

I used to use it mainly to keep up with the area where I was born, an excellent forum on old British cars, a forum on steam locomotives, one on steam traction engines, another on where I used to be stationed during my time in the RAF and a local forum where I live in Thailand. The area where I was born had some great photos of local interest, especially to me.

I am still in Facebook jail after a month as somebody hijacked my account. Facebook assured me that it is usually sorted out in 24 hours. It is now a month and how can you contact Facebook? Through your Facebook account, which is of course suspended.

Where does it say that he was a drunken, belligerent criminal?

The police were not waiting for him. He came to their notice simply because the neighbours complained about him.

Why? There is no money and nothing in it for them.

Maybe like me at 78, he can't be bothered with leaving Thailand. If he has nothing to go back to in Finland, why would he want to go back? When I go to the local state hospital, all I need to show is my hospital registration card, no passport or visa stamp. As long as he can pay the hospital bill, the hospital won't report him. As for a random police check, mostly when they see a farang they ignore me.

Probably by keeping a low profile. He may also have moved from a different district and a different IO. If he did the previous IO won't care and if he didn't report to the new one they probably wouldn't know that he existed. He would simply fall through the cracks of the system and if he kept a low profile nobody at Immigration would know and his neighbours would keep themselves to themselves. IMHO he brought it on himself by becoming a nuisance and upsetting his neighbours and they got fed up with it and shopped him. I am 78 and I think that if my wife reported to the IO that I had died, then they wouldn't bother to look for me, and probably not bother to search or ask the local cops to look either. That is just my thoughts.

Boring

Most of us know but there is no party political discussion, yet. It is interesting to me, the reason behind their blank refusal.

And which political party has been blocking the move every time?

Why would any Thai political party want a born loser on its books?

I think that you are a bit out on your flight costs. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a41956551/cost-per-hour-to-fly-us-military-aircraft/ The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter costs $41,986 an hour across all models, including the F-35A for the Air Force, the F-35B for the Marine Corps, and the F-35C for the Marine Corps and Navy. The Air Force in particular is stuck with the headache of replacing the F-16, which costs $26,927 an hour, with a plane that costs 25 percent more to operate, permanently raising costs. The other main problem is that normal aircrew will not get that much of a chancer to pilot them/it as all the air force generals will want to first and if one of them breaks one, Thailand will be buggered. The 2 that they want to buy will not be equipped with any weapons or state of the art electronics, nor I suspect will they come with a spares and support package. https://breakingdefense.com/2022/03/f-35-to-get-more-expensive-in-next-deal-program-exec-says/#:~:text=Under the terms of the,million during the same period.
