  1. I think that he means the war that took place in Afghanistan, supported by the USA who organised and armed the Taliban to get the Russians out. In retrospect it probably was not the best political or military move. I will say no more, other than it was a long time ago and perceptions change over time.
  2. How many innocent men, women and children being killed, would be enough to make you happy?
  3. I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet which is about 500 km from you, if you live in Pattaya. The filters, sadly, are not reusable, so you would have to buy new ones. As for me selling you the old unit, I would not do that. I will give it to you, if you really want it, and want to pay the postage via the Thai post office. That way, if it is of no use, all it would cost is the postage. I have 3 thoughts in my head about shipping. 1 Thai Post Office. 2 Taking it to 7/11 as I think that they have connections with a courier delivery. 3 I have a feeling that there is a courier service not that far from me, but at the moment it is just a vague memory of where it is. I have never sent stuff using them, and my Thai wife has no idea where it is. We have however shipped a motorbike from the local post office to Chiang Rai successfully. What are your thoughts?
  4. Some more photos showing the base.
  5. Do an internet search for yourself and find out.
  6. It is actually posted in the World News forum, which is one of the many forums on Asean News. You don't have to read it unless you want to keep up with the World News.
  7. Now I know where it is, I will pull it out tomorrow and take some more photos after I dismantle it. I also remembered, after a while, that I used to put Vaseline on the rubber gasket, fitted the gasket on the cover, and then put the cover on the filter and clamped it. Over tightening the clamp was what split the cover, and I have nobody to blame for that but me.
  8. I just found this photo.
  9. I eventually found it today buried amongst the stuff at the back of my workshop. The one I have, but no longer use was a sediment filter made by a company called Filtex. They may still be in business here https://filtexwater.com/product-category/filter/ but they don't appear to be making this type of filter anymore. Having said that my old model had 4 x (10 inch x 2.5 inch) paper filters inside and was a sediment filter. The in and out pipes were standard female connections and 1 inch diameter blue water pipe connectors. You can find and buy the 10 inch filters through Lazada, as there are quite a few dealers. There are 5 photos in all, the first 2 are similar. #4 is where I pinched the cover with the clamp and split the cover. I cannot repair it and it sprays water out under pressure. I am sorry that this is the best I can do.
  10. So what is to be afraid of? If you have nothing to hide, why all the fuss?
  11. When in a hole, stop dogging, unless there really is a pot of gold at the bottom. So 10 or 20 years is not important to you. If you can't get it correct, why bother to post it? If you really think that I am trolling, then report my post.
  12. Really? Try doing some research on a topic before you post. The first part of 2014 was when Yingluck was PM, followed by an illegal military coup under Prayuth. Just do a simple internet search if you need more information. It is easy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaksin_Shinawatra Thaksin was deposed in a military coup on 19 September 2006. His party was outlawed and he was barred from political activity.[8] Thaksin lived in self-imposed exile for 15 years—except for a brief visit to Thailand in 2008—before returning to Thailand in August 2023. During his exile he was sentenced in absentia to two years in jail for abuse of power,[9] and stripped of his Police Rank of Police Lieutenant Colonel. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Thaksin-Shinawatra Although his party won a majority, the election had been boycotted by major opposition parties, which ultimately led the Supreme Court to declare the results invalid. Thaksin, in turn, did not assume office but nevertheless remained in charge of an interim government, and elections were called for mid-October 2006. In September, while traveling abroad, Thaksin was ousted from the government by a military coup, and he subsequently went into exile. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/2951716/criminal-court-permits-thaksin-to-travel-abroad The court hearing on Friday was Thaksin’s first application to go abroad since he returned home in August 2023 after 17 years in exile.

  13. Really? Thaksin was not in power, and he was not even in Thailand a decade ago.
  14. Tell that to the 10 year old girl who was bitten and her parents also. I am sure that they will feel much better about the dog bite then. The best solution is to put ALL soi dogs down, and if an owned dog is put down also, tuff. It should not be wandering the streets.
  15. At his own expense I assume, otherwise it will belong to the USA and not Trump personally. BTW, if all the Greenlanders accept Trump's offer, where will they live? If they sell their house and land, they will have to leave their own country, and live where?
  16. I have a vague memot of something like that in Global house years ago.
  17. I used to have one vert similar but it was a sediment filter with a collection of discs inside. I could take the cover off and wash each disc individually, reassemble it and it was almost as good as new. The reason that I replaced it was that the outer casing had split and I couldn't repair it. I will have a root around in my workshop and see if I can find it in the morning, but it is dark and after 10pm, plus I have no idea where it is.
  18. Better still, leave Greenland alone to work out its own destiny with Denmark and the EU. Let ALL the people of Greenland work out their own future
  19. It was a secret in the 1950s and 1960s. If you read the OP, it explains in fair detail how it was rediscovered.
  20. And then you see the military making illegal coups every few years and NEVER getting punished and people like you come up with comments like this. What do you expect?
  21. I think the runway ay Suvarnabhumi is longer and the crash crews are bigger and more practised than at Phuket which makes the PAN call easier. I also suspect that the crew called head office in Russia for instructions.
  22. Bad idea. Why pollute the ocean when the SOP is to burn the fuel off rather than dump it?
