Fauci Reveals Trump's F-Bomb-Fueled Call During Early COVID-19 Crisis
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If I were to say what I thought you are I would be banned, I certainly don't think that you are a prosecutor but perhaps a lawyer as you seem slippery enough at not answering questions. Out of curiosity. Are the Nuremburg ll trials a product of your imagination too? -

Naturally you have all the links and proof of the rubbish you are spouting and you will also be willing to take Dr Fauci to court over it. You do have 100% proof and enough to take it to court, don't you? BTW what ACTUAL medical qualifications DO you have? -

In the early days our son caught Covid, but my wife and I didn't. My younger neighbour and he daughter got it, my elder neighbour didn't but her granddaughter did. None of us were vaccinated at the time. Go figure that one out. -

If this is a forthcoming book, how do YOU know so much of the contents already? How can YOU say that it is a masterpiece of dis-information, if you have not read it? -
I did my marriage extension as usual in November 2023, at Kamphaeng Phet Immigration office. However, the extension was only granted until 17 June 2024 which was the day my old passport expired. I got a new passport and got all the stamps transferred on 22nd April 2024 and they gave me a new 90 reporting date of 25 July 2024. They called my mobile earlier this month, but my mobile reported the call as a possible scam call so I simply killed and blocked the call. My wife got a call about 4 pm on 17th from a different person explaining that my visa had expired that day, For some reason I thought that when the stamps were transferred to the new passport, the old extension date was re-instated and my extension was valid to the old date. Not so in KPP and perhaps elsewhere also. We went to KPP immigration first thing yesterday morning and the captain asked what I wanted and he knew then who I was and what the problem was. He then said that he had the solution, which was a 60 day visit your wife visa. He needed a few bits of paper, a copy of my wife's ID, Originals (but he accepted copies), copy of the Khor Ror 2 from the amphur, and some photos for the TM7. We went back to the city to get the photos, he did all the paperwork and he also understood that Bangkok Band need 3 working days to produce 12 months of statements. Now I have a 60 day extension until 16 August 2024. He suggested going to BBK bank on 22 or 23 July to order 3 sets of bank letters and statement making sure the the bank officer stamps EVERY page and signs/initials every page and then report to Immigration on 1st August 2024. The cost was 1,900 baht for the 60 day visa and a 500 baht fine for the 1 day overstay (technically 11 hours). My headless chicken mode reverted to normality, and I have about 6 weeks to start all over again with a new date for my visa extension.

Reform UK Overtakes Tories in Polls for the First Time

Thank you. I live about 500km from Pattaya and have no idea who does what down there, so rather than saying something I know nothing about, I left it for other posters living there to comment. -

I detest generalisations such as yours. Is every Brit in Thailand exactly the same as you describe them? Thai is a tonal language, and if you are partly deaf. and partly tone deaf Thai is very hard language to learn. I can hear my Thai wife when she talks to me, face to face, but if she talks to me from behind I cannot hear her properly. If another Thai rudely buts into a conversation, I get talked over, If a third Thai buts in, that one will talk louder than the others. To me, all I can hear is noise. Even though my wife and I have been married for 25 years and have a 19 year old son, according to you she is only a pretend wife so I will explain that to her and wait for her laughter. No I don't live in Pattaya and the last time I remember going there was about 12 years ago to buy a motorbike from a French guy, (who oddly enough, was also married and his son came as well). Not all expat Brits live in Pattaya, Nor do they all do border runs, sit in bars all day, run businesses and have pretend Thai wives. IMHO all of your post is complete and utter BS. -

However it is offensive to quite a few snowflakes and woke's who cannot accept any reality other than their own. They are a very vocal minority. There are several that even post on TVF, AN or the Thaiger. They personally remind me of the little buzzing flies that need swatting occasionally. -

It may have skipped your mind, but Nigel Farage was never the PM, he never had ANY political power and ALL of the subsequent Brexit negotiations were done by the party in power, the Tory party. So if they got it wrong, and IMHO they did, how can it be the fault of Nigel Farage as he was not involved in the negotiations at all. The majority of the British people, and I was one of them, voted for Brexit. The losers and the whiners have NEVER stopped whining over the last 8 years, because they cannot accept that they lost. -
Thailand Refuses To Sign Document Of The Swiss 'Peace' Summit
billd766 replied to Brewster67's topic in The War in Ukraine
So you personally attended the conference and were there all day, every day, understood everything that went on and everything that was said. Is that correct? You then concluded that all the countries who signed the document were wrong and only the countries that did not sign were right. Is that correct? (in your words) "In fact at no time whatsoever was there any attempt to discuss 'peace'... In fact it was nothing more than a staged platform for OUTGOING western leaders of the so-called free world to stand up on stage and criticise and threaten President Putin and Russia". Is that correct? Even though (in my words), Putin and Russia had already invaded the Ukraine and previously annexed Crimea and the Donbass region? In my eyes and probably that of many other people, I am probably correct You then came to the conclusion that Zelensky was only after money to (in your words) "It was also used as an excuse for the most corrupt politician on earth to continue to beg for money so he can buy more luxury multi-million dollar properties worldwide while he feeds his male (and female) population into a meat grinder for the benefit of creepy hair sniffing Joe Biden and Co". Is that correct? You managed to say all that (apart from my bit) without a single link or any shred of proof. I am almost, but not really impressed. -
I can only speak for me. I am NOT demonising Israel or its people. I am demonising the PM, Netanyahu, his Zionist war cabinet and the IDF for carrying out his orders and there is a vast difference. No modern army, especially one which is claiming to be the most moral military in the world (in their own words) wantonly slaughters innocent unarmed men, women. children and babies. Nor does it blockade an entire country by land sea and air, nor does it cut off food, water, sewage, medical supplies, destroys entire housing blocks, lays waste to the entire country that it has invaded, Nor does it allow its own "settlers" to steal and occupy the invaded country. During one of the last battles, the IDF "claimed" without proof, that they managed to kill 2 "terrorists". They actually slaughtered 45 men women and children and injured hundreds more. They then had the gall to claim it as a victory for Israel. Now if you think this is a good thing, then I feel so sad for you, but I prefer to save my sorrow and sadness for the innocent Palestinians who are starved and slaughtered every day.

RTN Delivers 154 Tons of Water to Drought-Hit Koh Larn
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I merely picked the 1,000 tons per day as a figure. The actual amount will depend on the resident population, the number of tourists and the amount of water each use per day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko_Lan#:~:text=In addition%2C there are up,and workers on the island. During low season, Ko Lan attracts about 3,000 visitors a day. In high season, as many as 10,000 people daily visit. They generate about two million baht in daily income.[citation needed] Its maximum daily visitor capacity is 6,410.[1] In addition, there are up to 8,000 permanent residents and workers on the island. As a rough average you can use the figure of 14,000 people per day. If each person uses 1,000 litres per day or 1 ton, then you need a minimum of 140 tons per day, every day, far less than my original estimate but enough to supply Koh Larn and the adjacent islands. I have no idea of running costs, as I have never had any dealings with desalination plants. -
RTN Delivers 154 Tons of Water to Drought-Hit Koh Larn
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Can you put a price on the "not that expensive to build" claim for a desalination plant to generate perhaps 1,000 tons of water per day. Plus of course the daily running costs. Out of curiosity, how much fresh water does Koh Larn use per day? -
That was the only answer I could come up with. Sorry.

More like an inhumane man made famine happening in full sight of the international community and what is being done about it? World leaders, governments and world leaders are having meetings and talking about it. What are they actually DOING about it? SFA. What would help mercy convoys would be armed soldiers with aviation back up from the UN, US, UK or the EU to ride the aid convoys and, first shoot to wound, then shoot to kill anybody who interferes with ANY aid convoy. If the Israeli government, the IDF, Hamas or illegal Israeli settlers want to inspect the aid convoy, simply tell them to FO and be willing to back it up. The time for talking is long past.

AFAIR Cows eat the grass and leave the roots to grow again. Goats and sheep eat all of the grass and the roots which makes it harder for the grass to regrow. They get moved to a different area to allow regrowth of the grass.

What a shame you missed out the 2 most important words. Legal and illegal. I suspect that most people, at least according to your posts are acceptable to legal immigration, but what they don't like and don't want are the illegal immigrants, coming across the channel in rubber boats and helped on their way by the RNLI, HMCR and any other Tom, Dick or Harry. Then the government spends the taxpayers money to support the illegal immigrants, rather that using that money to support the local population, who it should quite rightly be spent on. -
Methinks, using your term, is that you have very little idea what you are talking about. As usual on this forum, many posters don't have anything to contribute in a positive way, so they simply invent their own versions of the truth, and if it insults people they simply don't care.

Press on-itis is a dangerous disease which can affect anybody. It starts out by people ignoring a warning light or an alarm. They tend to think that if they ignore it and press on to their destination, everything is fine after the light or alarm goes out, until another warning light or alarm comes on and the first one comes back on, In an aircraft, once you pass the point of no return, what do you do? Make an emergency call and divert to the nearest safe landing spot, or press on and hope that the warning alarms and lights are spurious? Hence the term press on-itis. It can easily cause a crash and death. Alternatively you can call up the "what do I do now" list and follow its guidelines, which is what I think that the crew did. The problem could have been as simple as a faulty micro switch or something far more difficult. But the pilot did the correct thing and diverted. Good for him.
