Red Bull Heiress?

Agree about the picture, and your heart attack/stroke guess too. Drowned bodies tend to sink to the bottom. If the unfortunate guy was floating, he had air in his lungs, not water.

I have used SCG SmartWood Fence Plank for fence pickets. It comes in 2 thicknesses and IIRC 3 widths. It's made specifically for fencing and is much less prone to breaking, as it is a little more flexible than cement board. 10+ years and not a single break. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.581906425209084.1073741830.578526032213790&type=3&_rdr

When I realised that I was 4 years short of my full pension contributions, I called DWP and asked if I was eligible for Class 2 AVCs, due to voluntary work in Thailand - No! I had to pay Class 3. I can't remember the different rates at the time, but right now Class 2 is 3.45 GBP per week and Class 3 is 17.45 GBP per week. Big difference, but still a good investment (IMO) I seem to recall that members @Neeranam and @simon43 have been able to pay Class 2 AVCs. Maybe they will answer your question.

Pita and the other leaders of his party will soon be imprisoned for LM, and/or barred from politics for at least a decade, as was his predecessor Thanathorn. Even if there is an endless list of well educated, charismatic, forward thinking individuals to take their place, Thailand will remain in a never ending cycle of election/political coup/military coup until the LM law is scrapped (maybe my great grandchildren will witness it).

I guess it wasn't considered to be theft, until he decided to keep it rather than hand it in to the police or contact the loser (her ID card and other docs were in the bag too). IIRC the bag was lost on Thursday. Taxi driver was arrested today.

The loss was reported here on Friday.

Shabby Chic is a thing.

Looks like it was lifted straight from the local newspaper - Stoke Sentinel. No details about the "accident" in that report. I guess the details will come out at the inquest, so we will probably not get to hear them. https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/stoke-trent-holidaymaker-dies-phuket-9297355?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral

Could be pomelo.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that Epstein killed himself in a prison cell with CCTV temporarily unavailable.

He is not "top dog" but it does seem that he has access to the real "top dog".

There are obvious examples of this phenomenon around the world, the most obvious being Trump and Biden. Power is a very addictive drug. Q. What has changed during this time? A. IX to X.

@KhunLA Cute! You should find the same tree and do one of those before/after photos.

Air soles!

Buy Indian Basmati rice.

Sattahip is also my local Lotuss, although I haven't shopped there for years - since I have to drive past Big C and Makro to get there. I'm in Surin just now but it's good to know where I can find Caballo when I get home. IMO it's a nice sip over ice, but I favour a long drink with orange juice.
