We had this house built 22 years ago.

To save yourself from asking more silly questions, please read the Op and watch the video that goes with it. Now, I am 80 years old and I can still read, watch and comprehend. Why can't you? If you need more information, ask The Thaiger as they published it.

In my wife's house, all the sockets are earthed. Probably because I bought 3 core cable (live neutral and earth) and a 2 metre copper rod that was hammered into the ground outside and connected to the circuit breaker box.

Try reading the OP again but slowly. quote from the OP In an attempt to leave with the other woman, her husband got into his car, and in a desperate bid, she jumped onto the hood.

Have YOU ever been a farmer and worked the land. or were you just an unemployed layabout living off the government?

There have been many people far more well known. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Napoléon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill, Stalin, Adolf Hitler, to name but a few. Trump is little but a passing fad.

Who will pay for the upgrade? Let it be Phuket who will benefit, and if they need money, go to the AOT (who will also benefit) and TOT for it and NOT the people of Thailand, the majority of whom will never use it.

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I am re reading them for the second time.

So when you are moved 3 or 400 miles away do you still want to send your child to the same school they are already at, or move to a new school close to where you now live? Have you NO idea how the real world works?

The Army is NOT evil. Why not blame the politicians who send them to other countries in the first place.

And for the greater glory (or not) of the RTA.

I have a few you can have, but make sure that he pays for the postage up front.

If it is such a good job, why don't YOU sign up and take it on. Then YOU can go home in the morning and explain to your wife that you are going on deployment, but you don't know where or when, or even IF you you will be home again. If you are lucky you may have time to visit your child's school to say goodbye to them. People who have no idea what they are talking about really annoy me. .

Stop your whining about things that you have no idea what you are talking about. When you used to work in the UK did you move to other places every couple of years? In my 25 years of service, the longest I ever stayed in the same place was just over 3 years and the shortest was less than 2 years. Most of the time I had no choice in where I was sent. That was from 1960 to 1984 and I believe it is worse now. It not only affect the serviceman or servicewoman but their wives and children. And YES, they pay their taxes and NO they don't, in your words of ignorance, scrounge from the lower orders . Most of them come from the lower orders as you so quaintly and erroneously put it. Many of them work unsocial hours, do shift work and are paid NO extra for doing that, are on call 24/7 and are expected to put themselves in danger, so that whiners like you can sleep safely and whine about how hard you are done by.

IMHO I think that it is more of a case of a person with no ideas and no experience trying to save money with no forethought of the side effects.

The mere fact that he was trying to murder the king and many others is irrelevant to the topic then.

I agree with you. Why must it be a general, army or police in the first place. It should be a sportsman or a sportswoman who has actually achieved something in the international sporting world, and is recognised as an international sporting star.

He is 80 years old (the same age as me) and I retired at age 65. Why didn't he quit while he was ahead. If he can't afford food the cut back and live simply, as most other people do when they get older.

IIRC it was old Adolf who said something like guns before butter, but I can't find the quote on the internet. Found it. It was actually "Uncle Herman". “Guns before butter” was a slogan used by the Nazis to describe their policy of prioritizing military goods over civilian goods in preparation for war. The phrase was popularized by Hermann Göring, a Nazi leader, in a 1936 speech in Hamburg. Göring said, “guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat”.

And neither can you.

quote "What a hopeless farçe all this is". You are almost correct, apart from the easily forgotten fact that have been NO wars in Europe for the last 79 years. OTOH, Russia only managed to keep its grip on the territory it held from 1945 until the 1980s. Under Putin however, Russia is desperately trying to annex those territories back, starting with the Ukraine.

Great idea. Kill 80 million people and where will the radio active fall out go after nuking Iran? It will kill millions more people and make parts of the world uninhabitable for years to come. What will the USA allies think about that, especially if the radio active clouds head their way? Where will the oil that powers the rest of the world come from if the Arabian Gulf is closed? Do you truly think that other Muslim states will simply let it happen without retaliation in some way or other. Are you looking to start WW3?

And somewhere in that area is the casualty and the first rescue crew to find him. Nice try but no cigar.

So how big an area is needed to lift a stretchered casualty and a crewman through a treeline that maybe 30 or 40 metres high and which tree would the casualty be under? If you are going to use a helicopter for a mission like that you need at least 3 or 4 fully trained crews and at least 2 dedicated helicopters for the task, and who are familiar with the area. The alternative is the risk of losing a helicopter and its crew and the casualty. When I worked on 22 Sqn air/sea rescue, each flight had 2 helicopters, 4 aircrews and 3 ground crews who were available 24/7/365.

Proof is always a good thing to have for the prosecution. Whether she is innocent or guilty, I have no idea and unless anybody was at the court all the time that she was on trial, I doubt if anybody else knows either. The judge made his opinion on the evidence brought before him in a legal court, NOT in the court of the internet social justice.
