  1. No. I live in the real world where things that have happened in the past are related to things that are still happening today. quote "I'm guessing your going to hit the sad or confused emoji for this but that's fine". There you go once again, thinking that you know everything about every poster that disagrees with you. In reality you have no real idea, and in your own words you are simply guessing., as you seem to be when you believe that this problem has only happened during the past 4 years. October 7th 2023 was only a continuation of decades of war.
  2. quote "One would have thought that the last four years is evidence enough to take off the blinkers". Really? Perhaps you should research your subject more thoroughly. Try going back to 1948 and beyond, and look at the problems between the Palestinians and the Israelis. The Jewish people claim that their 'god', who has never been seen, gave Israel to them some 4 or 5,000 years ago. It is only mentioned in the Jewish holy book and nowhere else.
  3. Sorry Eric. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_1161 The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions'). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules. But I really don't want a bridge.
  4. You may have missed the thread title which reads quite clearly Prawit Visits Parliament to Sign In, Then Leaves – Misses 84 of 95 Sessions and it is in the Thailand Forum. It has nothing to do with The West or the EU parliament. Try to stay awake and on topic. If you are unable to do either, why bother to post?
  5. Like Trump and his "60 Minutes" deal that he pulled out of? Perhaps being fact checked on live TV is enough to pull out of a deal. After all to quote your post, "A man keeps his word and does not renege on a deal". So why did Trump pull out of the "60 Minutes" program?
  6. TBH I cannot remember the size, as it is more that 20 years ago that the house was built.
  7. You said "Just under 335,000 so far on Trumps OWN channel". My answer was Compared to what? How about comparing it to something relevant, such as the number of viewers who saw the show live on the Fox entertainment channel, or any other comparable video?
  8. So what is your problem? If you have a computer and can do internet searches, you have access to news from anywhere and everywhere.
  9. Lying and whining about fact checking on a live interview is in command?
  10. Is that a joke coming from an avowed Trump supporter?
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.

  16. 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?
  17. And holding your nose tightly.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Kenneth Williams has got the best line for Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZWTjQW49eg
  22. 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.
  23. Thank you. Perhaps it should be shortened to NIMBY.
