With the current defamation laws in place, did you really expect the agency to be named?

I note that Jimmy J has not responded to either of my posts.

I have a better idea that I am sure that you will like. Let us completely abandon the Ukraine with its 40 million people, not to mention its food and mineral riches which they were sharing with the world. And while we are at it, why not grovel and apologise to Putin and lick his boots. We could tell him that he can walk into any former soviet block country and the West won't invoke NATO and he can do what he wants. Unfortunately the rest of the world may not agree with that. BTW while you are blaming the USA and the ROW for sanctions can you tell me when the sanctions started? Was it before or after the Russian invasion of the Ukraine?

USA sanctions are NOT causing this at all. Russia invaded a neutral peaceful democratic country and the reason is in his own mind. The sanctions are a reaction to that invasion. If Russia stops attacking, withdraws all its troops from the whole of the Ukraine, pay damages to the Ukraine, then, IMHO, the sanctions will ease over time. Did the US, EU and world sanctions justify this action by Russia? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61967376

But AFAIK it is NOT in the constitution, it is the second amendment, Therefore it should be fairly simple (to me at least) to strike that amendment down and write another, saying that if you wish to bear arms, they must be black powder and you must enlist in a militia regiment which only uses black powder weapons.

BC, Before Covid, when the annual fair came around the villages, they all had a Bingo stall though not for money prizes.

My line was 75 but I had been riding less before then.

Not actually correct as there are thousands and perhaps and perhaps millions of older vehicles on the roads that when you lift the bonnet you can see all of the engine parts with not a computer socket in sight. Newer vehicle all you can see is a big piece of plastic, the dipstick, screen wash etc and the computer socket.

His story is about he, and only he has the experience and knowledge about EVs and that you are nothing but an arrogant know nothing Jack me lad. With varying inputs from different posters with varying experience and questions I have learnt far more from this thread than I ever got from his. I will stick with this thread.

And Thailand has no submarine rescue ship to my knowledge nor has it any qualified rescue crews. There is one in Singapore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Swift_Rescue One in Vietnam https://www.asianmilitaryreview.com/2021/08/v Another here but I don't know where they are based https://www.damen.com/catalogue/defence-and-security/auxiliaries/submarine-rescue-vessels https://eurasiantimes.com/indian-navy-hunts-for-submarine-rescue-simulators/ The Thai submarines are totally useless without proper engines, and not much use if you have a problem with one and if you need it rescuing.

Now that would be a brilliant plan but would require standardisation between all EV manufacturers and battery manufacturers as to the standard size battery in different sizes. It would would require battery replacers to keep a stock and they could standardise prices also. What would be needed is at least 3 people qualified to inspect each battery and decide if it is worth repairing or scrapping (depending on if it is a cheap or expensive battery as original. Who would own the battery stock at the shop and how many batteries of each type and cost to hold would be a problem, though not a big one. It would certainly extend the vehicle life, though I am not sure where software and hardware upgrades would be done if required.

From what I have read on TVF over the years it seems to be the bigger IO in cities. bigger towns and tourist areas which seem to be the worst. Perhaps because out in the smaller provinces they get less customers and are more relaxed and can spend the extra time without their bosses on their backs all the time. I know after going to Suan Phlu a few times in the old days out here the IO is a nice place to go.

So what IS the "norm"? You seem to blame the women all the time. IIRC, for me at least it was a shared responsibility between the two of us and nobody else. 2 x yes = yes 2 times no = no 1 time yes and 1 no = no

2 hours ago, KhunLA said: I believe the warranty is it won't degrade below 70% within those 8 yrs. And I'd be hard pressed to put 200k kms on a car in 20 yrs now. I won't be out & about as much, and I seemed to put 100-120k kms / 7 ish years on past cars. I read most EVs get 1500-2000 cycles out of their batteries. Using a very negative 1000 cycles for the MGs, and your looking at 400k kms before battery needs replacement. That's a very negative estimate. Use the 1500-2000 range and it's 600-800k kms. ..... nuff said My 21 year old Ford Ranger has 443,xxx km on the clock and is STILL rattling along, so your 200,000 km in 20 years seems a very low estimate to me. Only 10,000 km per year?

Well that is one car, NOT an MG, and if the video timing is correct it takes only 1 minute 42 seconds to replace the battery and requires no humans at all. What wasn't shown of course was the cost of the replacement battery and if a discount was given for the old battery. Now fast forward 8 years and replace a battery that has been in situ for 8 years. The battery tray will be rusty, covered in all sorts of crud, bolts rusted in and bent and it will need physical support from humans to get it out. The chassis may have to be cut as well as the battery frame holders and it certainly the old battery will take much longer that 1.42 minutes to remove and may be worth twice the sq/root of FA. So what will you car be worth then?

How dare you try to bring commonsense into a subject like this? Don't you know who my Daddy is?

If they can be found, and if they have a job, and if they are not on benefits.

In a perfect world you are correct. Sadly however this is far from a perfect world. and many men do a runner when faced with being a father. They simply ignore the woman and do a runner.

What the hell does a 72 year old man know about women's bodies and how they feel? Decisions like that should ONLY be made by women. There is that word again. May. Equally, May not.

Thank you Sheryl. I did a Google search last night on Tramadol and I am not happy with the doctor. My wife took me to hospital as I was in severe pain for my bad back. I had a couple of X-rays, a blood test and some meds including Tramadol. That fixed my back and knees great. Last night I did a Google search on Tramadol and I am sure that is the cause of my problem. I have attached the Word file with my comments. He gave me 15 days supply of Tramadol 50mgand I have 2 days left which I will dump. I have had trouble sleeping at night for the last week or so but I kept falling asleep in the day. I stopped taking Tramadol on Friday and I reckon it will take me another week to get over the Tramadol. Tramadol side effects.docx

No it isn't. I spent 4 years working in BKK during the 1990s and another 3 years in the 2000s and more time later on. I have lived here full time since 2001 and up in rural Kamphaeng Phet since 2004. Perhaps it was me but I always got a smile and I still do nowadays, from younger girls, older ladies and men too. I have experienced no rudeness but as I said perhaps it is me and my attitude towards Thais.

To be fair to some of them the IO at Kamphaeng Phet and the one at Nakhon Sawan are/were both very good and many of the staff speak good English and are very helpful too. I think a lot of the problems are the IOs are different in most offices and some of their clients are less than helpful too.

There it is and I have even made it bold and underlined it for you. https://thephuketexpress.com/2022/06/24/suspect-slashes-tires-of-another-vehicle-that-parked-too-close-to-him-in-patong-gets-a-thousand-baht-fine/ One thousand baht was fined to responsible parties after a conflict over parking in Patong this week. The Patong Police reported on June 21st that a victim filed a police report after parking a car in front of a restaurant in Patong before going inside for dinner. After they finished dinner and came out the victim found that their car tires were slashed and flattened. Police continued their investigation and identified the primary suspect. The suspect admitted to the crime because they were disappointed that the victim parked their car too close to the suspect’s car. The suspect was afraid that their car might be scratched and lost their temper, slashing the tires of the other vehicle. However, the victim does not want to take legal action against the suspect. The suspect agreed to pay for the tire damages and was fined 1,000 baht for causing nuisance. Both parties shook hands after the disagreement and put aside their differences. Law enforcement did not release the names of the individuals involved.

I normally order my BP and diabetes tablets by email once a month. I have been on the BP medicine since 2006 when I had 2 stents fitted.

Thank you for the information. I will ask the pharmacy. He normally tells me if there is a generic or an alternative.
