  1. And this is the state that has decided at least one presidential election...
  2. Polce toay have sa they are nvestgatng a strng of ID thefts.
  3. I don't blame those who do it. They found an empty table and are making sure it will still be free after they've bought their food. When with my wife, we will look for a free table before buying the coupons / cash card, and then one of us will sit at it while the other buys them and gets the food. I see no difference between leaving a person at the table, or placing an object on it to "reserve" it. I usually avoid food courts when I'm on my own, however, as I never have anything I can leave on a table that I don't want stolen, or doesn't look like rubbish that will be thrown away or ignored. For that reason, I've always thought that when you buy your coupon / cash card you should get some sort of place marker that you can leave on the table indicating that it's taken. The same goes for fast food restaurants when they're busy. Grab a place marker by the door and put in on a table before ordering your food. If I had a baht for every time there's been plenty of empty tables when I go in, but by the time I've been served, they're all taken, so I'm left walking around with a tray of food asking people if I can sit at their table, I'd have sagging pockets.
  4. So far only Reuters are claiming this in the last few hours, and other agencies have got the story from them. Somehow, I don't think they'll take his offer, even if it is confirmed. "Vladimir Putin is ready to halt the war in Ukraine with a ceasefire that recognises the current battlefield lines, four Russian sources have told the Reuters news agency... ...according to two of the sources who spoke to Reuters, Mr Putin thinks recent gains in the war are enough to sell a victory to the Russian people. " The sources also claim that Russia could carry on the war if they wanted to, but that would involve another mobilisation, which Putin doesn't favour. So all would be forgiven and forgotten, and they'll be friends again? I have a bridge to Crimea for sale to anyone who believes that.
