Sounds very much like life being made difficult, just for the hell of it?

Why haven't you learned Thai even after several years as an expat in Thailand?
Thanks for that get out. I first came to Thailand well over 30 years ago, just for the fun on my holidays. Almost everyone I came in contact with spoke very reasonable English, so no real necessity to learn Thai. When I moved here on retirement, my wife and many of the family speak English. Where was my incentive to learn Thai? Most Thai eateries make it very easy to order food and drink, so I won't starve. If I should need to travel on my own, there are many Thai people willing to help should the need arise, and its a bit late in the day now, so I won't bother now.

Border Shut Tight: Migrants Turn Back as Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Takes Hold
Great shame the UK government fail to act in a similar way. They would sooner up taxes to pay for these illegals to be put up in hotels. Total cowards, frightened of their paymasters, the unions. Gun boats placed at the 12 mile limit with orders to shoot to puncture the boat, unless it is turned around. A forceful deterrent is the only language the illegals understand. One boat sunk and a few lives lost, but billions of £s saved. Yes, I know, I'm a cruel b*****d!

From Skype to LaLa Land.
May I suggest to those who are about to be cut off by Skype, to take a look at "Mytello". Calls are cheaper than Skype but you don't get the same service. For instance:- My UK Skype number could be dialed and the caller would be charged at the local rate, for that call, to be transferred to my mobile anywhere in the world. If you download the Mytello app, it gives the charging rate for all countries worldwide. They are CHEAP, give it a look and I feel sure you will be impressed. No, I do not get commission!

Does your tenant inviting a friend to stay a few nights infringe the law ?
Unless the tenant agreement states otherwise, who the tenant invites into the house is nothing to do with the landlord.

Why does my face look MUCH better in the mirror than in selfies or ID photos?
No wonder my toes are so far away!

They don't make mirrors like they used to, and I've noticed its up hill to the bus stop now. I met a friend I hadn't seen in years, and didn't he look old!

Outrage as Puppy Dragged Behind Motorbike, Saved by Local
I feel sure the dog was pleased about the fine his aggressor received?! However, did the fine pay for the vet fees which I am sure the dog required?! The guy who did this to a dog for whatever reason should be dragged along the road on his bare ass, then left to suffer his injuries. But I guess being a mindless idiot, he wouldn't suffer.

Missing Tsunami Warning Towers in Phuket Spark Safety Concerns
Honest answer is no. In my years of taking holidays in Thailand, I had never been in country in the rainy season. As I was due to retire in two years, I just decided to change to mid year. Was someone looking out for me? Was it a premonition? Or was it just happenstance?

Then think how lucky I am. I was planning another holiday that Xmas and new Year, to stay at the Amari Coral Beach hotel. However, I changed my mind and changed to June that year. That is luck!

1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
I used to use one of those 1b M/C, but have gone all posh now. I now have an Amway water filter, which last about 12 months on average. Not cheap, but well worth the outlay for peace of mind.

High Court: Reeves was officially told VAT on Private Schools would impact poorer families
I am hoping the Judges find in favour for the schools and parents. I may then lead to other court cases against the brainless idiot we have as chancellor.
