UK Kneecap band member in court facing terror charge
jesimps replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Doesn't mean they can ignore the law of the land. No one is above the law, even spotty little herberts in a rap group. "Kneecap" for chrisakes. I'm sure they mean it as the verb as opposed to the noun. It was a popular form of punishment during "the troubles". -
Report Drive Drunk, Lose Your Car: Thailand’s OAG Pushes Tough New Proposal
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It did mention that in the report. Said that if the offender borrowed the car, then the owner could claim it back under certain conditions. I suppose if you lent your car to someone you knew was going on the lash or was a repeat offender, then you wouldn't be able to claim it back. -
Report Bangkok Teacher’s Brutal 200-Squat Punishment Lands Student in Hospital
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
200 ? That's one hell of a lot of squats. Even when young and very fit in the army, I couldn't have managed that many in a single session. I'm all for teachers and parents using discipline, but that many squats is ridiculous. No wonder it caused injury. -
Being that NI is part of the UK, then yes it is. I think what you mean is "Will it spread to the mainland?"

Ask any red-blooded male if they'd like to take Imane for a romantic candlelit dinner, followed by a slow hand in hand stroll through the park. Their replies should be a good acid test.

Health Covid Cases Surge: Chula Expert Sounds Alarm on Rapid Spike
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I caught it for the first time last month. It put me on my back for over a week, so if it's the non-severe version of Covid, I'm glad I avoided the main event. It was easily as bad as the worst case of flue I've had in the UK. I very rarely go out and think I caught it from a young girl who brought it into our house from school. My wife caught it too and suffered just like me. -

Crime Pattaya Police Detain Armed Foreign Gang Near Tourist Area
jesimps replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
"Upon arrival, officers encountered 22 male individuals claiming to be of Cambodian, Burmese and Karen ethnic origin." "Ibiza rejects and Nazis"? I didn't realise that Ibiza was such a big draw for Cambodians, Burmese and karen Nazi tourists. -
I recovered from Covid about two weeks back. I wouldn't describe it as unusually mild, it was easily as severe as my worst dose of flu in the UK. Temperature, headache, sore throat, raking cough, shortness of breath and aching joints. Laid me out for about 10 days, wasn't able to do any work around the house. Was either laid on the bed trying to read, or sitting at my computer (didn't have much enthusiasm to do either). Never been so pleased to see the back of an illness. I don't know how long my natural immunity will last, but I'll certainly be looking to have a jab at the start of the next wet season. I wouldn't like to have to go through the experience again.

Report New Covid-19 Variant NB.1.8.1 Gains Ground in Thailand
jesimps replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Well I've just recovered from it and it put me on my back for about 10 days. Easily as bad as the worst dose of flu I've had. If I hadn't been retired, I'd have had to have taken that time off work. There may be "hysteria", but it's reducing the country's work force while it rages on. I managed to survive through the previous epidemics (I had 3 jabs), but it got me this time. -
I lived and worked in Delhi for four years and once outside the compound where I lived, it was constant stress. I ended up only going out if absolutely necessary. Also the "curry run" between there and the UK was a nightmare especially when you had to use the toilet. When my tour was up it was a blessed relief. I vowed never to visit there again. Unfortunately it has come to me, both in the UK and Thailand.

Depends on the office. Jomtien only require you to report in after you've been out of the country. However, your first 90 day report after being out of province will have to be done in person, they won't process it online. This was my experience a few months back when I had a short break in Ayutthaya. However, as I say, it depends on the office. Best phone them.

Health COVID-19 Cases in Thailand Surge to Ten Times Flu Levels
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Same here. It was brought into the house by a little girl who visited a few times after attending school for the day. The wife and I rarely go anywhere. I live 30 minutes outside of Pattaya. My Covid was easily as bad as the worst bout of flu I've ever had and the symptoms were more or less identical. -

How do you feel about Thailand being clearly far-right?
jesimps replied to JoseThailand's topic in General Topics
Further right the better as far as I'm concerned, but I've seen nothing to convince me that this country is far right. I'm convinced the UK id far left, but I think Thailand is slightly right-leaning at most.
