And of course, YOU have all the evidence and the links to prove it. So if you have all this proof and evidence, why have you not done anything about it? Alternatively you have nothing but BS to say.

And this is just your opinion as a professional interviewer. BTW, just how long have you been a professional interviewer, and which company do you work for?

I do as my blockage is still there but at least the toilet is usable. The honey truck crew are sure that the can fix the problem, but it means isolating the water supply, easy, removing the water tank, fairly easy, if they need to remove the toilet, that will be difficult as it is concreted to the floor 20 odd years ago and not put in with Rawl bolts and anchors. They will have to remove some tiles, 2 or 4 I think and possibly the wall before getting to the short pipe connected between the U bend of the toilet and the down pipe T junction from the upstairs toilet, which is where I think the problem is. They will probably have to replace that short pipe and hopefully not have to remove the toilet completely and dig up part of the floor as well.

AFAIK Lazada matches the seller and the buyer. The seller chooses the shipping company and get its shipping costs from them. You order items THROUGH Lazada and NOT from Lazada. You choose the item that you want from a list of suppliers on the Lazada website. Lazada neither sets the prices nor the shipping costs. If the shipping costs are more than advertised, you have the choice of cancelling the order and going to another supplier, or simply accepting the price and the shipping costs. Lazada is just an intermediary company and it gets its commission from the seller.

I would think that commerce slowed down. Dock yard work would certainly have done. OTOH for the Spanish workers, no work = no pay. It was a double edged sword. For the Spanish government, it would have been a diplomatic problem. For Spanish workers, it would mean a choice of finding another job in Spain for less money or going hungry and going into debt. Gibraltar is still there, despite Spain and the UK Labour government. Freedom to choose is important, don't you think?

And holding your nose tightly.

I have a similar problem here in rural Kamphaeng Phet. I have used the plunger and that sometimes works. I have also used a plumbers mate which is a long flexible rod which you feed into the toilet, then crank it around and move it on a bit and repeat. That does not work for me. Do you live in a 1 storey house or a 2 + storey house? My toilet which bungs up is on the ground floor. The upstairs toilet works OK and flushes properly but the ground floor toilet gets bunged up now and again. One short term fix is to pour a kettle of boiling water into the toilet and do the same with another kettle full of boiling water, then use the plunger. That usually clears my problem for a while. Hopefully I have managed to attach 3 drawings which may help you understand how toilets work and the pipes attached to them.

I know about Oct 7th going all the way back to 1948. How about you? Because this did not start in October 7th 2023 but way back in 1948 or were you not aware of that. The details are a bit vague, but it was happening many decades before that, or did you not know that either.

If you tell the truth, the fact checkers have nothing to do. and you have nothing to worry about. OTOH if you lie and the fact checkers catch you out there is nobody to blame but yourself. Claiming that everybody else is wrong and only you are right especially when you are fact checked and called on it, simply makes you look stupid.

Kenneth Williams has got the best line for Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZWTjQW49eg

The US says the Israelis have the right to defend themselves. Don't the Palestinians have that same right to defend themselves? Does that right mean that they have a free hand to invade Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and in the past few days to attack the UNIFIL. To starve the Palestinians in Gaza, destroy the infrastructure, water and sewage, to destroy apartments and hospitals, to kill an estimated 43,xxx Palestinian men, women, children and babies, to injure over 100,xxx an estimated Palestinian men, women, children and babies? That is only in Gaza. How about the West Bank and in the Lebanon. I don't think that is what the Israeli people want either. It is certainly what Netanyahu and hi war mongering cabinet want.

Thank you. Perhaps it should be shortened to NIMBY.

What I find amazing is that the human rights supporters et al, never seem to take asylum seekers into their own homes and personally provide support for them, whilst down crying governments for not doing enough.

The special election should be at their OWN expense.

IMHO the retirement age for ALL politicians should be that of the normal Thai workers. An exception to that should be that if they reach the retirement age during that period, they should be barred from standing for parliament.

What a great idea. I wish I had thought of it.

Quote "What a bunch of completely brainless creatures in uniform ". Actually the people to blame are not those who endeavour to enforce the local bye laws, but those that sit in air conditioned offices dreaming up and passing the laws in the first place.

Better still, cleaning the sewers and the drains. A useful public service.

There are UPS available at a price but if you are old and poor, you may not be able to afford one. I am a little surprised that the hospital did not supply a UPS with the equipment. Having said that, equipment supplied by the state hospitals is not always returned when the user no longer needs it.

It you are bed ridden and confined to bed it is very difficult to get up, travel to the PEA office and explain the situation. I tend to think that her family would normally pay the bill, perhaps at a 7/11 if that were nearer. Again I think that her family could have gone to the PEA with a letter from her doctor explaining the mothers situation. Here in rural Kamphaeng Phet, my meter is read on 23/24 monthly and the payment date is the 3rd of the following month. If I forget, a reminder is put in the electricity box on the 10th of the following month. How many bills you can stop paying before before being cut off I have no idea. 2 or 3 perhaps, depending on the size of the bill.

But it was an issue with the Spanish when the Spaniards living in La Linea, who work in Gibraltar couldn't cross the border to go to work

IMHO there is a vast difference between playing a hero on screen and reality. The first is fantasy where at the end of the day you take off your makeup, and go home at the end of the day, and being in the front line where people really are trying to kill you and you don't get to go home for weeks or months. Where you live on cold food or even no food and sleep where and when you can. Cold, wet, dirty and hungry. In many cases you go home in a body bag weighed down with dirt or sand if they can't find or recognise enough bits of you. In some cases you do go back home with bits of you missing, to a "heroes" welcome after which you are simply tossed aside as no use to man nor beast.

It was made quite clear at the 2 referendums that the majority of the Gibraltar people want nothing to do with Spain.

I am so upset that you have ignored me. I think I will go to my room and cry. OTOH you are ignoring me so you won't see my posts. I, however will still be able to see yours. It sort of defeats the object like burying your head in the sand so that nobody can see you.
