Forensic need to check out the handbag her MIL used on the day. Maybe someone should also find how much the the husband had the deceased insured for. "Piccolo".....is that a Sicilian name? Related news: Mushroom murders in Australia.

I didn't say they were launched from torpedo tubes.....I just said they were tube launched. I blanked out the fact that Simon43 used the word "torpedo" and actually thought you used the words "torpedo tube" because you didn't know the correct terminology! 👍

They have been tube launched from ships since they were first designed and manufactured. Air launching came later.

........or the British made "Stingray" anti submarine torpedos. Nice of the US to do that favour for the UK. No mention yet of the recovery of the Italian manufactured "Aspide" AAMs. All the munitions will come up: "The Thai government initially pledged to raise the wreck, but the project proved to be too expensive. Instead, it has opted to recover further remains from the site and remove the ship's weapons, munitions and sensitive materials." https://maritime-executive.com/article/u-s-navy-helps-thailand-with-partial-salvage-of-sunken-warship

Cobra Gold starts this Tuesday. The salvage Op has been tacked onto that: The Royal Thai Navy last month suspended bidding for the salvage mission after the Joint US Military Advisory Group Thailand (Jusmag Thai) offered to help investigate the sinking and salvaging of armaments on board............The Royal Thai Navy and the United States Navy will jointly carry out a limited recovery mission on the HTMS Sukhothai. This joint mission will be conducted under Cobra Gold 2024,” the US Embassy in Bangkok said in a statement." https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40035231 US support operations for CG itself started last Tuesday in Sattahip, this posted yesterday: https://www.dvidshub.net/video/913653/2024-cobra-gold-port-operations

The modifier in Thailand is the way that shop assistants, receptionists and other similar occupations are "managed ". If they were not looking at phones they would be asleep on folded arms at their counters/desks or any other convenient lodgement. Other than that I expect pretty much the same behaviour pretty much anywhere in the developed world. 2018: "I've been on Facebook since 2012 and WhatsApp since 2015": https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-44170881

The top photo is filed as "Men looking at job advertisments" from 1919 I'm guessing the other one is similar subject. So a very different situation from playing Candy Crush or sending/looking at selfies or people cooking/eating food........all ******* day. Those men are highly focused on a specific important task. And once they've finished they will be about their business........likely wearing out their shoes going for the jobs. Even if they were utterly absorbed with reading the early comic strips in the paper, or checking the race results......it would be over an done with then on with the rest of life. Answer is yes......things are very different re. the way mobile phones are used today vs the way newspapers were read in the early 20thc.

Nothing to do with her "values" or "philosophy". She was "an accident waiting to happen". A ******* disaster.

And: ".........by putting interest rates and pension pots at risk, Truss had alienated a vast swathe of would-be Tory voters" https://savanta.com/knowledge-centre/view/how-bad-was-liz-truss/ Which adds up to supreme incompetence......not conspiracy by a mythical "Deep State" No better reason than that to get rid of her. DS BS for an audience of rabid Ideologues and "Believers"......welcome to the USA.

South East Asian is not a race, neither is Thai. The person was suspect because of their Ethno-National affiliation.......Thai. Perhaps not one of the Thais that has spent a fortune on plastic surgery to make themselves look Korean, or a much worshipped Luk Kreung television performer. Hilarious to hear a Thai bleating about foreign Ethno-Nationals perceived "racial prejudice", while ethnic prejudice and preference rages, approved, encouraged and unabated, within their own "Nation".

**** you FTI.

I have only managed to book an appointment online once at my local IO.......for a Covid Extension in early '22. I tried to book about a month ahead late last year for 30 day ext and nothing was available for 3 months (I didn't bother looking any further forward than that) I experimented with trying to book for all the other varieties of appointment and got the same result. When I actually "walked-in" on the day I wanted the place was very quiet (it usually is) and I breezed through. Got the same results when I was looking to book another 30 day this year. I guess that system is broken at my branch. I will confidently walk-in again next week.

It hasn't always been in the world. It only emerged in Pharaonic Egypt, gave birth to the Exodus, but then vanished until it appeared again in Medieval Europe. Whatever misfortune befell them between those periods was the result of their rebellion against Imperial rule in the Ancient/Classical world.......they suffered as did other rebellious subject peoples/tribes. Jews in Pharaonic Egypt and Jews in Medieval Europe both flourished, and then became outcast, for more or less the same intertwined reasons that other ethnocentric minority groups have......for as long as Jews have. A few years ago the UN had the Rohingya as the most persecuted people in the world.

As far as homicide goes it has a murder rate higher than the UK but lower than the US. Much lower than Colombia, but not nearly as low as Monaco. If one sought to make quick comparisons this interactive world map is handy: https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/murder-rate-by-country

The grand total of F-16s in the RTAF is 36 single seaters and 14 dual seat trainers (trainers can be operated as combat aircraft). Gripens... 7 fighters and 4 trainers (also fightable), 30 single seat F-5s and 3 trainer F-5s And they are to be replaced.......REPLACED.....that's what it says in the article, by 12 aircraft? What's going on?

The article paints a picture of contradiction between him being liked for his "outspoken honesty" and disliked for his "boorish bigotry". There is no contradiction.......the boorish and bigoted (and there are a lot of them about) love his boorish bigotry, which in their thuggish, narrow, ugly consciousness translates as "the truth". The evidence for that is clear, judging by the entirely predictable chorus of approval from contributors to this thread. They are precisely why I avoid English expats in Thailand.

RTAF currently operates 36 F-16s. https://www.flightglobal.com/reports/2024-world-air-forces-directory/156008.article "The Royal Thai Air Force plans to acquire 12 new fighter jets — either the US F-16 or the Swedish Gripen — to replace an aging fleet" ??

Possibly they would just enter a cold torpor such as affects Floridas famous falling Iguanas. "Generally, the temperature in the hold is kept between 12 and 16 Celsius (54 and 61 Fahrenheit) depending on the aircraft and its cargo load." https://www.quora.com/At-what-temperature-is-checked-in-luggage-stored-in-an-airplane I think word would have got around the animal smuggling fraternity if contraband animals were routinely "batch dying" in their luggage.

Always difficult for the alcohol dependent to think out of their sodden box and conceive of the fact that there are 10s of millions of people for whom alcohol is not a significant interest or concern. The fact of there being alcohol sales restrictions on several occasions during the year in Thailand has made absolutely no difference to the steady growth of tourism in the past......it will make no difference in the future. I know I should pity you.......but I don't.

Likely very much not the same as previous years: Last year saw a marked temperature divergence from previous years, commencing in June/July. Trend so far this year indicates that a further increasing divergence has commenced already this year. The Average February Mean Daily Maximum for my province is heading towards being exceeded by at least 1-1.5 degrees this year. You don't know what is going to happen.

How many times do they think he needs to have the **** knocked out of him before he can work as a trainer? I'm guessing they will really be using him as a journeyman for contenders to get a few easy wins against. The promoters will ask for one and the club will set him up. It's the promoters who will decide when, where and who he fights. Cheap meat.
