And that is your best response. Nothing about 7 murdered people? Nothing about how they were targeted by the IDF? Nothing about the drone operators "thought'? Nothing about "I call BS'? Nothing about the chain of command not being followed? Just about one word that I wrote that YOU don't agree with. It is lucky that you could not read my first draft, nor could anybody else, or I would have been banned from ANN for life.

You can call it what you like. but whatever you wish to call it, it is the truth. The WCK workers WERE targeted, even if the Israeli drone operator "thought" there was a Hamas terrorist in a car. A small convoy of 3 vehicles has given your military all the details and it has been approved at a far higher level than the drone operator. 1 They should NOT have been tracked in the first place. 2 They vehicles were clearly marked as WCF. 3 Just because the drone operator "thought" he saw a terrorist is NOT a reason to fire at an approved convoy. 4 At the very least. he should have called his supervisors, SNCO's and Officers to verify what was happening, and they in turn should have called in THEIR supervisors to verify what was happening, and if the 'thought' was genuine or not. 5 This was NOT a mistake, or an accident, or even to use the expression, a regrettable incident. It was a deliberately targeted murder of 7 innocent people. NO amount of words such as quote "I call BS" can excuse murder. Nor is the excuse "I was just following orders" valid either. The 7 people who were murdered in cold blood did NOT represent any threat to any Israeli forces anywhere.

Israel had a lot of the worlds sympathy and understanding after the October 7th massacre. Their government has squandered it by what they have done since and are now becoming a pariah state across the world. Even President Biden has seemingly given them a stern warning/rebuke in the last day or so. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68738452?src_origin=BBCS_BBC When you pizz off you largest supporter, either you are on a course to self destruction (which IMHO, Israel is on under Netanyahu) or your leadership is certifiably crazy and needs replacing now. When your leadership sanctions political assassinations such as killing an Iranian general in a 3rd country. you have to understand that there will be a payback coming sooner or later. When your leadership authorises assassinations of innocent civilians such as the 7 staff of the of the WCK you know that your country is in deep trouble. When fewer and fewer people worldwide don't believe any propaganda put out by your government or its military, you know your country is in big trouble. When hundreds of thousands of protestors in countries world wide including Israel itself, go on the streets to protest, you know your country is in big trouble.

Having sprayed everything in sight with cypermethrin, who cares what it does to the fish people eat, the honey that comes from the bees etc? https://www.google.com/search?q=cypermethrin&rlz=1C1CHBF_enTH1087TH1088&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid used as an insecticide on a large scale. Cypermethrin is highly toxic to fish, bees, and aquatic insects, according to the National Pesticides Telecommunications Network. It is found in many household ants and cockroach killers, including Raid and ant chalk.

Thank you. I know we disagree on a lot of topics, but we also agree on many other topics.

How was it a mistake? The IDF was informed about the vehicle and they even APPROVED the trip. So WHY was the IDF drone tracking that particular vehicle in the first place?

IMO the drone operator and ALL his superiors right up to the murderous PM Netanyahu and all his murderous war cabinet should ALL be charged with premeditated murder, which is what it was, despite all the predictable denials from the IDF and the Israeli government. It is not as if the IDF had no idea of what was going on. They were informed and APPROVED every step of the way, and STILL the vehicle was deliberately targeted.

"Concerned netizen" posters jumping the gun, AGAIN, and instantly blaming foreigners when they didn't have a clue WHO was driving the car. To quote Benny Hill, for a polite version. Sirry Iriots

Of course he is entitled to his opinion. However I don't have to prove that he is wrong. He has claimed this and it is up to him to prove that he is right, with links and data, in exactly the same way that you, I or anyone else who makes a claim has to do. If he claims that this is his opinion only, that is what it is, simply his opinion, and needs no backup.

Putin's official spokesman are you? Do you have a seat behind Putin at every meeting that he attends? Or is it simply your opinion and words with no facts to back it up? Why would he want something that is in another country that does not belong to Russia?

Thank you. I have found over the years that it is easier to be polite and pleasant to all people. The more you understand that they have a job to do and let them get on with it. the easier it is for them and the more helpful they will be with, and for you. If somebody and or their trolley is in the way, make a joke of it and they will move themselves and their trolley out of the way. If something you want is in an aisle where they are restocking, ask politely if you can get to it yourself. Most of the time, for me at least, either they will bring it to me, or let me in and move the stuff out of the way. And always smile and say thank you. It cost nothing and they realise that somebody does notice and appreciate the work that they do. Perhaps it is just me but probably it is the way that my parents brought me up.

I am not able bodied either. I have con arthritis in my left kneecap and use a walking stick. I also have a Zimmer frame with a seat. I suppose I can manage to walk about 100 metres before I need to stop and hold on to, or sit on the trolley. If I need something that I can't get to, I simply ask one of the staff and they get it for me. I always say thank you, and I always get a genuine smile in return. If what I want is not on the shelf/out of stock/awaiting a shelf refill, I just move on to the next item. It is so easy for everybody that way. However I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet, and not a tourist area. At most of the shops in the village the staff help me up and down steps and ramps, they also open doors for me and take the stuff out to the truck for me, all without asking.

Google is your friend. https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/ins-and-outs-short-selling#:~:text=Short selling involves borrowing a,broker%2C and pocket the difference. I have no idea either, so I did a Google search.

This morning I was stuck on "Children of the Revolution". In the end I gave up and Googled it. T Rex and Marc Bolan from September 1972.

No way, Jose. The tooth fairy just left me a pile of promissory notes, saying that the cash was too heavy, would I pay it, and the cheque was in the post. She lied.

You seem to have spent the last few posts defending your whining, as if you are the only person in the world that matters. Grow up, work around it like normal people do...

Will you still complain when there is nothing on the shelves, and the prices have to go up to cover the extra cost of an extra shift and the extra cost of keeping the store open to restock?

I have absolute proof about the Tooth fairy. She is biased against the elderly. She came to my son in the UK regularly when he was younger. She came to my son in Thailand regularly when he was younger. At 79 one of my (3) remaining teeth fell out last night. I looked everywhere this morning for the evidence of her visit. Nothing, not 25 satang or even a note saying, ...... you AND the donkey you rode in on. 😒 😭

If they are standing in my constituency I think I will be voting for the genuine Monster Raving Loony Party candidate. It might be hard to find the real one with all the other Loonies up for election, but from what I have seen lately in parliament the MRLP certainly would fit in well with the current mob running the country. Sadly David, Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Pinner died in 1999. IMHO he would have made a better PM, than the last few the UK has had.

I sent for a new UK passport, (the old one expires on 24 June 2024) via Paul Aslett at Thai Visa Express on Monday 11 March. I sent him all the documents by EMS and they were collected on Wednesday 13 March. My nice shiny dark blue British passport arrived by EMS on Saturday 30th March by EMS. A 19 day turn around. I am high impressed with their service, which on my part involved a 6km trip to the village post office instead of a 350 km each way trip to Bangkok and an overnight stay, twice. The total fee was 11,000 baht plus 42 baht for the EMS. The service was superb and simple enough for an old dodderer like me to understand. My old passport was valid until 24 June 2024 but the new one is valid from 20th March 2024, presumably to keep the EU happy. Now all I have to do is get the stamps changed to the new passport at Immigration, and I suppose at the banks where I have accounts, perhaps at the Amphur for my pink Thai ID card, DTA for my driving licence, and I can't think of anywhere else. I will get to Kamphaeng Phet Immigration next week before the Songkran holidays, the banks etc are not so important. Once again, my thanks to Paul Aslett for a brilliant service. See you again in 10 years.

How can I PERMANENTLY change the time period from posts since my last visit to Specific time period. It always used to be 365 days, but now, no matter what I do it reverts to posts since my last visit. I change it, follow the idiots guide (written by an idiot) and if I look at something else it sneaks back. It is SO annoying. Why do I HAVE to save it as a new stream, when the old stream was OK?

Do they come with a free red baseball cap with 4 capital letters in white embroidered on it?

Sorry Mike but that was a different era and a different audience. No it wasn't a silly comment. It was and still is my opinion.

But I am glad to say, that is not the sort of music I like. I didn't like it when it first cam out and I still don't. However each to their own.
