Spider fangs 3-4mm apart seems unlikely.

Myth: You can always tell a spider bite because a spider leaves two punctures.

Fact: There is a germ of truth in this idea, but only a very tiny germ. Spiders do have two venom-injecting fangs and typically bite with both at the same time. However, in any spider smaller than a tarantula, the entry points of the two fangs will be so close together that there is little if any visible separation. Also, the fangs are so slender and sharp that the actual entry points are all but invisible.

When you have a "bite" with two separated marks, it is either caused by a bloodsucking insect that has bitten twice (a common occurrence), or is a double skin eruption arising from one disease condition or arthropod bite, also a common occurrence.

Mrs Owl is getting quite aggressive about buying a car. 'Now' is not the time. I'm telling her. However; she wants to get one before Mildred goes back to school on the 13th of this month. It's boiling up to be a right ding-dong.

Hate to say it (and I think I've said it before), now that the recent debts are paid off, it's time to spend, spend, spend (and borrow - with or without your knowledge) until the next crisis. Seems that some folks never learn from past mistakes.

Good luck!

It's Thai democracy, or what passes for it that is at risk of dissolution. How they can have the nerve to disband a party which got the most votes last May is barely believable.

It's even worse. The leaders of the party will likely be banned from politics for at least 10 years, maybe even jailed - for suggesting that parliament should debate whether ancient LM laws should be adjusted for modern times.

Have you looked at Makro? Here in Surin they have Mainland Vintage Cheddar (Australian) at 279THB for 470g.

I love a bit of mature Cheddar, but Vintage is a bit strong for me. I go for the "Tasty" variety - same price ...

That's a pretty good price for a decent cheese IMO.

About 2.00pm today I tried to send using my laptop but the site wouldn't open.

I then used the app on my phone and there was no problem.

Repositioning the security camera sounds like murder to me!

As you say, anyone could have sent the messages.

It can't be assumed from the article that the camera was re-positioned away from the scene.

Maybe it was re-positioned to point towards the scene of the suicide, in order to make sure that there were no doubts or suspicions of foul play.

When I joined the police force (England, 1975) we were still being issued with whistles and wooden truncheons.

The lucky new recruits were given 2nd hand truncheons from retired officers, these were quite hefty being made from ebony or other hardwoods.

Mine was one of the new, less harmful type, made from pine. It would probably have broken if I ever used it in anger, but the most action it saw was breaking windows to get into locked buildings.

I recall that there was a survey carried out in the '80s and the vast majority of police officers did not wish to be armed. Of course, things have changed a lot since then. 

I think it's important to take into consideration that high speed pursuits can lead to deaths, not only of the suspected criminal but also the police officers and the general public who may, quite innocently, get in the way.

Sometimes the "crime" may be of an insignificant nature, but the consequences of the pursuit could be very grave.

Of course, nobody wants criminals to go unpunished, but there must be a risk assessment decision in such pursuits, and it should not be made by the pursuing police officer, whose adrenaline rush impairs his judgement.

In the UK a pursuing police officer is required to give constant updates about the chase, and the senior officer in the control room makes the decision whether the pursuit is justified, or should be called off. I'm sure this is the same policy in many western countries.

why not more owners come forward with this open extortion by the men in brown...

That must be a rhetorical question. 

Why?

Fear of retribution

False prosecution

False imprisonment

Physical assault

Etc.

Only the most wealthy and powerful can make a stand against police corruption, and they don't show any signs of wanting to change the status quo.

PS; BTW What are your grits?

 

PPS;  I suspect I will not either like or understand the response!

I had to look it up.

Based upon my knowledge of American food (mainly from watching the Beverley Hill Billies) I was expecting that grits would be the internal organs of some animal (like chitlings). But grits is just a porridge made from corn.

Furthermore, Chutiphong highlighted that the owner of Win Process is also the owner of a chemical warehouse in Ayutthaya, which experienced a similar fire incident in February.

A streak of bad luck for the Win Process company.

On the bright side, maybe it has saved them a lot of money in safe disposal fees.
