    Cheese

    Have you looked at Makro? Here in Surin they have Mainland Vintage Cheddar (Australian) at 279THB for 470g. https://www.makro.pro/en/p/58gf840-7196426928323?info=JTdCJTIyaXNTZWFyY2hQYWdlJTIyJTNBdHJ1ZSUyQyUyMmluZGV4Q2xpY2tlZCUyMiUzQTglMkMlMjJxdWVyeSUyMiUzQSUyMmNoZWVzZSUyMiU3RA I love a bit of mature Cheddar, but Vintage is a bit strong for me. I go for the "Tasty" variety - same price ... https://www.makro.pro/en/c/search?q=cheese That's a pretty good price for a decent cheese IMO.
  2. 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.
  3. I doubt she would risk being sent to Rwanda while her asylum application is considered.
  4. I am so proud of myself that I got that. Definitely better than May the 2nd be with you.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. On the subject of intelligence, my old mathematics teacher used to tell the story of Sir Isaac Newton, undoubtedly one of the most intelligent men of all time, and the little known fact that he invented the cat flap. When Sir Isaac installed a new, and smaller, cat flap in the same door people were puzzled. The great scientist explained that his cat was having kittens.
  9. I like the weekend roundup, with occasional posts in between. Enough is as good as a feast, my Dad used to say.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Wife is leaving her husband. New boyfriend is driving her away in his pick up. Husband chases after her in his old pick up and manages to stop them. Husband takes his gun to insist his wife takes all her remaining belongings with her (the two containers). He doesn't want her to have any excuse to come back.
  14. Saint Patricks Day celebrations ... Saint David's Day celebrations ... Saint Andrew's Day celebrations ... Saint George's Day celebrations ... Saint George's Day Rally ... 83997309-13341495-image-a-3_1713892077295.avif
  15. Sorry, the rule is give way to the vehicle on the left (except at a roundabout, when it is give way to the right). Land Traffic Act 1979, Section 71. Section 71 (500B) [If, when entering a junction, there are other vehicles, the driver must let such vehicles go through first. If two vehicles enter a junction from different directions at the same time, the vehicle on the left side has a right of way, except when there's a designation of "principle roadway" in which case the vehicle on the principle roadway has a right of way.]
  16. Upon reflection, I think you are correct.
  17. This is the junction from the white suv point of view. Traffic lights haven't worked for years, maybe never did.
