The death caused by lung cancer of one the greatest soccer players of the last century should make the smokers thinking ...Cruyff abandoned chain smoking more than 20 years ago.

...who said that if the people don't trust the ruler, then the ruler much change the people..?

Do not be to harsh for the OP : if you live in a condo which is not properly managed it can spoil the fun the live in it.

Normally the condo should a Juristic Person with a Committee elected at the General Assembly of the co owners

This Committee can appoint a day to day manager which I thought had to be a Thai national but I am not sure.

In our condo we had twice a manager who depleted the funds collected from monthly maintenance fees....one of them was a thief another a incompetent and negligent person ...

Ain't she heard about diplomatic immunity? Sorry she'll just have to pay her own hospital bills.

Diplomatic immunity may most likely not be an issue here :

- first of all we need to know if the driver was holder of a UK diplomatic passport (it could have been an employee of the Embassy using an Embassy car and the driver may have been a Thai national)

- nothing indicated a crime was committed for which diplomatic immunity could have been requested

- as far as we know it was a regretful accident involving a car registered as belonging to the UK Embassy and "the driver did not flee the scene" : it means it is indeed an issue to be settled by insurance companies

the buffalo died from being handled to death and not being left alone in a muddy waterhole to wallow in all day !!

what do people expect !! do they actualy think the buffalo liked going to shows ?

...I guess the parading of this buffalo raised a lot of "donations"

I tried for more than 10 years to introduce in Thailand a Belgian made soil conditioner which allows to save up to 50% of water consumption by plants in areas hit by drought (and also toxic elements) but the "experts" with office at Kasetsart Univ rejected it.

Now more than half of the product is sold in Australia since 20 years where the experts understand the difference between a soil conditioner and a fertiliser.

I am now more than 70 and retired but if somebody wants to try this again in Thailand then he or she should contact me privately

If you stay in BKK it is the BMA, elsewhere it is the municipality. In the outside of towns and cities its not controlled to my knowledge as one can build without plans and permits.

Thank you for your reply.

I am writing about a condo with 20 floors in Nonthaburi Province just outside BKK area.

However I doubt one can build apartment buildings of 10 floors and higher without supervision of a government controlled authority (engineering division)

I understand that if the owner of a unit in a condo wants to do important structural modifications not only the manager of the juristic person has to approve but also a Thai authority has to visit the place and inspect before giving approval or refusal : what is the name of this authority?

The Mormons were prosecuted for their kind of faith.

Conclusion : the Pilgrim Fathers who escaped to the American continent to have "freedom of faith" only had in mind their own faith ....which protected ONLY their version of "freedom of faith" / what I write now is based on what Prof Dr Mark A. Scholar has lectured me in a DVD series of "The Great Courses" "The Skeptic's Guide to American History"

the muslims coming to America with multiple wives and tons of kids are all getting free benefits.

If these mormons were muslims then is would be a moot issue.

Free benefits ? Are not confusing the USA with Denmark or France or Germany ?

Watch out for the areas where the beaches are destroyed by rising and more violent sea waters : Pak Nam Pram beaches have disappeared gradually and are replaced by large rocks to avoid further loss of land.

I live in Thailand since 1986 and during about 20 years I suffered from regular sinus infections (mostly with bleeding requiring to take antibiotics ) and about 10 years ago I finally learned that I had developed an allergy for the nose drops/spray that I used all the time (I had a kind of a "rebound" that closed my those totally so that I wanted always to use more of the old nose drops/spray).

A "nose ear throat" doctor prescribed me a new generation of nose spray which was expensive but did not provoke the allergic "rebound" : since then my damaged sinus cavities improved gradually and for the last 4 or 5 years I had no more sinus problems

If some TVF members want to know what kind of new generation nose spray initially improved my situation and finally cured my sinus cavities they can contact me.

I am aware that sinus infections can be caused by many things but I wanted to share this with the long term suffering people (but they still should see a doctor and not try all kind of over the counter drugs I used for many years)

Aw shucks. I have to go to the U.S. to get my visa for Iran? And I was so looking forward to attending the Gay Freedom Day Parade this year in Tehran.

While attending don't forget to mention your Jewish too.

They'll just love you.

Do not confuse Iran with Saudi Arabia

Iran still has a local Jewish community (one of them has a seat in parliament) - there is also a Christian community in Iran

My only issue with Win 10 is that from time to time the icons on the desktop change : for instance my Recycle Bin icon is now shown as a Acrobat Reader icon but before it was shown as an Acronis icon.

However when I click the Recycle Bin it always opens as normal but returns to the wrong icon after closing it.

It takes me a lot of trying before I can get the normal icon again

Sounds like a virus. Please try the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and see if it finds the culprit.

If that doesn't do the trick, download a 14 day trial version of the newest Kaspersky Anti virus and you might be okay.

http://me.kaspersky.com/en/anti-virus-trial

If not you can do an image restore, or a reset, by going to update and security, then click on recovery. You can choose to keep your files.

It re installs Windows, but it's working well. You might have to put on a few programs, but it will show you which you'll lose before doing it..

Good luck.

Thanks for your input

I have on my desktop PC Bitdefender Total Security & Iobit Malware Fighter ; they do a check every day

Now I also tried the Kasperky Antivirus Removal Tool and also this did not detect any virus

I have an Omron Hem 7130

When I put the cuff at 1 cm above the fold in the arm I have always a systolic number which is 10 points lower than when I put the cuff at 3 cm above the arm fold.

So I always do up to 3 times a check within 5 minutes in the same conditions and I make the average.

In the end Omrom gives me a a reasonable indication and if the readings are regularly outside the acceptable limits at different times of the day I go of course to a doctor.

Good that TVF members draw attention to the fact that constant high blood pressure is a "serial killer"

Sanders has been in the political game and a senator for many years. So he is far from being naive about the political process and what's involved with achieving political goals.

H R Clinton well say whatever she thinks the people want to hear, whether or not she believes or not. Do not be fooled by her, she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, she is not a progressive as she claims to be. Heck, she would be more successful campaigning as a republican , which she truly is. Her sweetheart deals and obscene speakers fees from wall street should disqualify her, and Bernie needs to really get on her a lot more about her speaking fees, because she doesn't like it. She is very uncomfortable about the big money she took from Goldman Sachs, and does not want it brought up anymore! Hound her to death on that topic and just watch her squirm!

I think he would have been better calling himself a "social democrat" rather than a "democratic socialist" : both cover the same political agenda but the term "socialist" is associated with "communist" for too many people...

In the UK the social democrat brand is called "Labour" and the US favourite ally was Tony Blair

Was the PVR supplied by True ? if so maybe you can ask them to exchange it for one that works properly.

yes it was supplied by True but before calling them I wanted to know if other people had similar problems

What difference does it make?

You have a problem and it's True's equipment, do you really need others to validate your problem before you fix your problem

Until now all the internet or audio visual problems I faced were easily solved by other TVF members

To telephone to the so-called "service" people of True is really the last resort

I have a PVR to record programs from Truevisions.

During playback of recorded programs I have frequently a black out i.e. the recording jumps about 2 minutes further

When I return to the point when the black out started then I can play back the lost 2 minutes i.e. the recording was done as it should

Do some other TVF members experience similar problems?

I think that religion should try to answer the question "why" and science the question "how" : both cannot be mixed

I must say that the ghosts shown in the Thai soap opera's can be distinguished much better

We live in Pathum Thani and we have a 3 BB fibre optic connection since more than one year and we pay 1200 Baht/month.

Download speeds depend on the location of the server you connect to :

- from a Thai server we get indeed 30 MBps (or nearly) but from servers in Europe and in the USA we get usually around 20 MBps

- the only exception is Friday evening after 6 p.m. when it can go down to 10 MBps (to download torrents)

This is the best service at the best price we got in 20 years use of the internet.

Advertising to scare us into buying vaccines that are dubious and don't help at best

One conspiracy post has been removed.

By all means feel free not to get vaccinated if you don't wish to, but I wonder how many of these people who have died were vaccinated. Probably none or very, very few.

I doubt that Russia and some of the former satellite countries as well as Iran are going to assist in the western conspiracy of selling needless vaccinations.

Please stay on the topic.

Well done by Admin : the first vaccins against flu were developed only in 1945 (ask Google for Timeline of vaccins)

Isn't this the virus that killed millions in the 2nd decade of 1900s?

No the "chicken flu" - known also as the Spanish flu because they detected it first - and which killed more 20 miilion people in Europe and nearly 50 million worldwide was a H5N1 virus or "avian virus"
