  1. Yes he does. Military justice, and they look after their own.
  2. They do, but those detection dogs are in a different department and have different training methods.
  3. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vineyards+in+the+uk&sxsrf=ALiCzsYwR7iqlUwQ7SCRIbQuEa1TifYEFg%3A1668058995994&source=hp&ei=c49sY870OYGr-QaW5YfABg&iflsig=AJiK0e8AAAAAY2ydg63z4ereyy9R27-yzardXuG6S7PI&oq=vineyards+in+the&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYATIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQ6BAgjECc6BQguEJECOgUIABCRAjoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6EQguEIAEELEDEIMBEMcBENEDOhEILhCDARDHARCxAxDRAxCABDoICC4QgAQQsQM6CAgAELEDEIMBOgUIABCxAzoICAAQgAQQsQM6DgguEIAEELEDEIMBENQCOgsILhCABBCxAxDUAjoICC4QsQMQkQI6CAguENQCEIAEOgsILhCABBDHARDRAzoFCC4QgAQ6CAguEIAEENQCOgsILhCABBDHARCvAVAAWLJfYNF_aABwAHgAgAG1AYgB6A2SAQM5LjeYAQCgAQE&sclient=gws-wiz People also ask How many vineyards are there in the UK? There are over 800 commercial vineyards in the UK (England and Wales) and some 165 wineries. Over 8,000 acres (3,500 ha) is now under vine in Great Britain. The wine industry is one of the fastest-growing agricultural sectors in the UK, with sales of English and Welsh wines up by 31% to 9.3 million bottles in 2021.Jun 22, 2565 BE
  4. The problem with educating or trying to educate people on this subject, is that they will only listen and be educated if they want to. From what I see here in rural Thailand is that mostly they are not interested and don't care to listen.
  5. Just another cynic who cannot believe in a good luck story about Thais when one comes along. Many decades ago my Mum told me that if I can find nothing good to say about something, it is best to say nothing. Looking at some of these comments, she was right, yours among them.
  6. Brought by the military coup government that ousted him and had control of the justice system.
  7. Not necessarily the whole justice system but perhaps only by that court. Having said that, it would depend on the exist laws and if there was any way he was legally allowed out on bail and if he had an existing passport. If he did was there any way he could be made to hand it in. If he handed it in, he could claim that he had lost it or it was stolen and get another. How easy that would be I don't know but it used to be fairly easy to get second passport for 'business' use. While there is usually good communication between the court and the local police forces, to block his passport would mean the court making an order to the passport office and also to the UK Border Force, and they in turn would have to post that info to every airport and seaport in the UK. Perhaps he could have gone to Belfast (no passport check) and over the border to the south and flown from there. If he was out on bail who knows what what he got up to?
  8. I have a similar problem deciding on the height, and I think that the best way would be for us to put our hand and lower arm straight out, as though we are actually holding the cane. Then get somebody to measure the height to give a reasonable starting point. That gives 3 choices. 1 Order a cheap cane of that height. 2 Order the cane that you want in that height or perhaps 1 inch higher, which you could cut back a little if it is too high. 3 Order 2 canes, one at the measured height and one an inch higher and return the one that doesn't fit.
  9. Perhaps this Lazada link may help. https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=wooden+walking+sticks&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.search.go.585a44edWnlUgD
  10. So many cynical posts about a young girl who obviously loves her Mum a lot. Good for the young girl. I for one am proud of you.
  11. The soi dog problem nationwide has no one solution that would be acceptable to all sides. IMHO a lot can be traced back to the Thai version of Buddhism where due to 'karma' you are reborn as something better or worse than what you are in your existing life. I personally don't believe that. I do believe however that most Thai dog owners buy dogs, or get them from a temple or the soi, without the slightest idea how to look after a dog and all that entails, and just push them out into the soi to scavenge food and water where they can, when they become a nuisance and become unwanted. People in the west are taught differently and the majority of owners care for their dogs, registering them, getting them chipped etc. Having said that there is usually a surplus of perfectly healthy 'cuddly' animals dumped at the animal welfare centres around February and March when the excitement of the Xmas puppy has won off.
  12. I was counting all of Thailand not just Bangkok as the soi dog problem is nationwide and not just Bangkok so where would YOU relocate them to? Who would decide which, and how many dogs, would be considered a nuisance? i have no dogs any more and at 78 I wouldn't be able to look after them, however since you asked, over the 18 years we have lived here we have had 3 generations of them, so around 15. I had the last 2 put down as they became chicken and duck killers, which is not nice when we kept chickens and ducks as did our neighbours. My neighbour had 3 dogs and a bitch. One dog was killed running into a scooter and the rider was taken to hospital. Of course NOBODY claimed ownership of the dog. Now they have 2 dogs, 1 bitch and 3 puppies. The animals are fed and watered and left to wander freely anywhere. None have collars or tags, none are trained, all of them are shouted at when they bark or fight each other. They get little or no TLC. What would you do about them?
  13. If you are on overstay, one thing to do is to keep your head down, not cause any problems and fly under the radar. The best thing to do of course, is to keep your visa up to date and not be a problem to anyone.
  14. I had never heard of the verge so I Googled it. Then I did another search and ended up with Reuters who I have heard of, and they tell a different story. To be fair these were posted before Musk took over. But people choose to read and believe the news stories that they want to believe nowadays and ignore the ones they don't like. I am not, never have been, and never will be a Twitter user. I prefer to read a story, rather than have it truncated to 480 characters including punctuation and spaces. https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-where-did-tweeters-go-twitter-is-losing-its-most-active-users-internal-2022-10-25/ Exclusive: Twitter is losing its most active users, internal documents show. Oct 25 (Reuters) - "Is Twitter dying?" billionaire Elon Musk mused in April, five days before offering to buy the social media platform. The reality, according to internal Twitter (TWTR.N) research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. Twitter is struggling to keep its most active users - who are vital to the business - engaged, underscoring a challenge faced by the Tesla (TSLA.O) chief executive as he approaches a deadline to close his $44 billion deal to buy the company. 5 minute readOctober 27, 20222:46 AM GMT+7Last Updated 12 days ago Exclusive: Twitter is losing its most active users, internal documents show By Sheila Dang Oct 25 (Reuters) - "Is Twitter dying?" billionaire Elon Musk mused in April, five days before offering to buy the social media platform. The reality, according to internal Twitter (TWTR.N) research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. Twitter is struggling to keep its most active users - who are vital to the business - engaged, underscoring a challenge faced by the Tesla (TSLA.O) chief executive as he approaches a deadline to close his $44 billion deal to buy the company. These "heavy tweeters" account for less than 10% of monthly overall users but generate 90% of all tweets and half of global revenue. Heavy tweeters have been in "absolute decline" since the pandemic began, a Twitter researcher wrote in an internal document titled “Where did the Tweeters Go?” https://www.outlookindia.com/business/where-did-the-tweeters-go-docs-show-rapid-decline-in-active-twitter-users--news-232696 https://www.wionews.com/world/where-did-the-tweeters-go-twitter-is-losing-its-most-active-users-report-suggests-528400 https://gizmodo.com/twitter-losing-heavy-tweeters-as-elon-acquisition-looms-1849701365 https://canadatoday.news/ca/exclusive-where-did-the-tweeters-go-twitter-loses-its-most-active-users-internal-documents-121890/
  15. What I did when I shared my library was simply posted the hard drive they were on to my mate and he copied the library to his hard drive and sent mine back.
  16. It is most probably doomed anyway, with or without either of them. The rats, sorry, party hoppers, are already leaving for other parties. IMHO anybody who jumps once won't hesitate to jump again. There used to be a UK TV show, called the Price is Right, and their saying was "Come on down, the price is right". Aptly named for Thai politicians.
  17. Run into it with your car or pickup and see how many people claim it as theirs. Ask their names and addresses and explain that the insurance people along with the police, will be coming around to collect thousands of baht to repair the damage to the car. Then you will find the owner, IF there is anybody left.
  18. Just where would you relocate all the millions of soi dogs to? A different province perhaps or another village or temple, as long as they are not near your place? That is a typical selfish NIMBY attitude. A sort of good, all the soi dogs have gone, they are now somebody else's problem.
  19. They have the right to advertise where and when they like, in exactly the same way that you have the right to buy their products or not. I don't expect that they will be heartbroken if you don't buy their products.
  20. Looking at the original photo I would think that the drainage gully at the top would need to be at least 1.5 metre square, with 1 metre drainage pipes every 15 to 20 metres apart and running the whole length plus of the slope, and the pipes need to go in first before any piling. As for the piling and filling, I have no idea other than it will be huge and very expensive IF it is done correctly. However TIT.
  21. Then like me you probably use an ad-blocker.
  22. That will require at least 4 extra staff working a 3 shift rota working 8 hour shifts and rotating every week, unless they shift those camera feeds to an actively monitored panel full time.
  23. I go to the general hardware nuts/bolts/batteries/tools/batteries/tractor spares shop in the big village and but it in a 5 litre container. I can't remember the price, but I decant it into a smaller bottle for easier use.
  24. Well there is this from the BBC News website this morning. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63524219 Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has defended sacking about half the company's workforce, saying he had "no choice" as Twitter was losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day. A tweet from Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, referred to "approximately 50% cuts company-wide". But Mr Musk said the social media giant's commitment to content moderation was "absolutely unchanged". There is more on the link.
