Sounds like another office trying to annoy farangs. Chiang Mai was very good at that. That was the reason I paid an agent to avoid the Mickey Duck BS.

The tanker sent to unload the full one should be there now or shortly. Source: Al Jazeera.

Given the air temperature around Antarctica I wouldn't be stressing about solar radiation too much. Any warming is, IMO, likely to come from sea currents. https://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica fact file/antarctica environment/climate_weather.php Continental Low Latitude Coast: Coastal areas approx. 65°S - 70°S Cold winters and short cold summers, approx. +2°C to -20°C monthly averages

Hmmmm. Given certain male populations ( Indian and Malay for instance ) wear sarongs ( a dress ) you are accusing a large swathe of the world's population of being mentally ill. You might want to be more specific in your accusations. The world isn't defined by what goes on in Finchley.

Are you claiming that many humans have different chromosomes than XX or XY? We ain't discussing trees and insects, we are discussing people.

LOL. The SRT is already, in my understanding, lacking in money, but some apparently want them to spend money building houses ( which is not their job ) for trespassers. If they had any spare money it would be put to better use double tracking the mainline. Should they all gather round the camp fire and sing kumbaya to make the trespassers feel happier about moving on? What a touchy feely world some live in up in their ivory towers!

Yes, temporary. There are plenty of examples in every country of woods and forests that have existed for centuries being destroyed for mankind's use- why are some squatters of a couple decades of more importance than nature? It's not up to the SRT to prove they have the right to the land over temporary visitors- it's already theirs. If they allowed the visitors to use the land on a temporary basis that's good for them.

??????????????? What facts? Hydrogen is a proven technology, and been used for some time already. Exploited miners in Africa is well known. That rare earth is polluting to refine is well known. That car batteries have no proper recycling possible at this time is understood. That so called "world leaders" pollute the atmosphere while flying to conferences has been referenced on this forum multiple times. That oil will continue to be in use indefinitely in most parts of the world is highly likely. If a certain poster wants to point the finger at another poster for not posting facts, that poster can point a finger in a mirror.

The CHEMISTRY of MOTHERHOOD: Any thoughts? I've seen enough births to be glad I'm not capable of getting pregnant.

Are you saying that squatters have more right to the land than the legal landowners? I do feel sorry for them, but if the railway needs the land that belongs to the railway then they do have a right to that land. What happens to the squatters is not the railway's concern, as they are not a housing agency. Perhaps the squatters should have realised that it was just a temporary place to stay and done something about it many years ago, rather than waiting and hoping things would always stay the same- nothing stays the same forever.

Let's be honest and say it like it is IMO mankind has, is and will continue to destroy the environment with overpopulation, excessively exploiting natural resources, and pollution of the air, sea and land to the point that all that remains of the human race may be some fossils in the far distant future.

All their problems have been man made, so it's not a problem with nuclear power per se. Fukushima was destroyed because the designers stuffed up with the back ups, not because the plant was faulty. France has had a thriving nuclear power system for decades without, to my knowledge, any problems.

Did you mean Iceland?

I've been there, done that, never again. Next time you have the desire to take care of another man's children, just give her your house, your car and most of your money- save yourself the trauma of living through it till you see the light and escape.

I wouldn't trust half the people I see around to vote for a "sanitation engineer" let alone the people who dictate how I should or should not live. Sooner we can get rid of the politicians and install an AI that is capable of creating a country that is for the benefit of all, and not just vested interests, the better, IMO.

Very well said. I'm sure the Thais are sick to the back teeth with western busybodies that think they know better than the Thais how to run Thailand while their own countries are becoming unpleasant, humour devoid social snake pits of despair run by the woke and unelected bureaucrats, and from which many are trying to leave to live in LOS. If it was easier for farangs to actually live long time in LOS I have no doubt the planes would be chocka on the way to and almost empty on the way back from LOS to western countries.

I never saw a majority of the Thai population "enduring"! The vast majority in my experience are not unhappy with their lives, and furthermore, IMO they lived better lives till they decided to try and be like western countries. I guess you think western countries are better than Thailand, but I fundamentally disagree. IMO Thailand was far superior as a place to live compared to western countries till Thaksin stuffed it up. Given the amount of western guys wanting to live in LOS and NOT with a western woman, I think many agree with me. You would deny them all the same opportunities that, ultimately, allowed you to arrive, plant yourself in Thailand and live a "superior" life, a "nice life in the sun".......at the Thai peoples expense? Who's denying Thais the same opportunities as I had? Did I have such a great life- you don't know what sort of life I had, yet you shout down from your ivory tower at how privileged I am- you know nothing about me. As for living at Thai people's expense- what a stupid comment! I paid for everything I had in LOS, so some were living at my expense, and at the expense of every farang that paid large to live in LOS. Do you guys really not see the sort of people that you are? C'mon man, enough with the cryptic hints- say what you really think.

555555555555555555555555555 You actually quoted me saying "just make them up then" and then attack me for what most would recognise as made up. The comment about a mansion larger than the sultan of Brunei's palace would have been a clue, if nothing else. Soooo, who's the silly boy now?

Just make them up then. My dream is to win 97 million $ and spend the rest of my life being entertained by high priced escorts while living on my own private island in a mansion larger than that owned by the sultan of Brunei.

Are they having a 'laff? 27 years from now who knows what the world will be like. If the glaciers are already vanishing isn't that a bit long to wait? Besides, weather isn't confined to one country, so it's a bit irrelevant what one country does. BTW, has anyone proven that making the world net zero ( which is impossible anyway given wild fires, volcanoes and melting tundra releasing methane ) will change the weather?

As for their relationship with LOS, it's none of their business how Thailand is run. Would they like Thailand telling them how to run their countries? With mass immigration I think most of us have become aliens in the countries we used to call ours.

I realised that many decades ago, which is part of the reason for my extreme cynicism. I no longer vote for anyone. I vote in hopes of getting rid of someone.

In case you didn't notice, most of the Thai population are too busy trying to make a living to demonstrate in the streets ( IMO ). It's not like the west where the government steals takes other people's money to support the idle dole bludgers with plenty of time to cause trouble.

Anything that makes LOS more like the west, which many of us escaped from with relish, is not welcomed by myself, and I'm sure other farangs. If being run by unelected-unaccountable-bodies is the price to be paid, so be it, in MY opinion.

When I was young, I think the main reason people got married was because the female got pregnant. No pill then, and it was too embarrassing for a young guy to buy condoms in a chemist, which was the only place they were available. NB cling film is not a reliable contraceptive, and the girl jumping up and down afterwards doesn't work.
