Are you a supporter of Donald Trump or considering voting for him? Do you think he should be the next president of the USA and the most powerful man in the World? If so Im sure you will be eager to read a new biography of Trump entitled "All in the Family" written by his nephew Fred Trump' who grew up in the Trump household: https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Family-Trumps.../dp/1398540994 ....Or amazon.com. You will also, Im sure, want to listen to the UK BBC radio presenter Jeremy Vine's fascinating interview with Fred Trump on his show today. You will need to login to or register with the BBC to listen. Or simply ask your smart speaker to play it if you have one. Listen from 1.33.02: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021hny

....And it is not even fresh milk as it never goes bad! Last time I looked closely the label said 'made from fresh milk'. I learned this years ago when going away from my apartment for a month leaving about a centimeter (so it was already a week or two old)of milk in a bottle in my fridge . When I came back. It looked okay it smelled okay and tasted okay...555. So l made a cup of tea with it and survived 555. I think it was 'Dutch Mill'.

Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand
SunsetT replied to susanlea's topic in Political Soapbox
I have no choice as there are no Lefties around 555. We know each other pretty well so we just stay off of certain subjects when drinking together...555. I don't get your last comment; sounds like the US speciality of school playground name calling. Don't worry you will mature and evolve eventually... Sorry. -

Biothai Links Thai Farm to Blackchin Tilapia Spread
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am all for protecting the environment but there is nothing in the post that says they are harming the environment. I do know that what I presume was the original species, was introduced to Laos from China during the Vietnam war. Is the oiginal species a 'wild' species in Thailand or was it similarly introduced fish soley to be farmed? -

Kasikorn Banking Problem.
SunsetT replied to Mason45's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think that what u r referring to is not a game. It is to try and make customers scam aware. Couldnt see it being very effective though. UK banks all do similar these days as banking scams r at record levels. -
I have a retirement visa. I Winter on the border so I will now do three border runs rather than deal with the ignorant Neanderthals at my immigration office for an extension. Last time they even did a home visit 9:15 on a Sunday morning like they do for a marriage visa. They asked for a witness that I actually lived there and sent my girlfriend to get photocopies of 3 documents that I'd already submitted for the extension just a week or so before! They phoned her later asking her, as a witness to my living there, to bring a copy of her house book to the immigration office. Harassment or what!?!

I was quoted 100k to remove a hemorrhoid. Outrageous.
SunsetT replied to advancebooking's topic in Health and Medicine
I'll do it for 50k. -
Yes I forgot the young phone addicts who thoughtlessly tend to do this. If all other tables are full I will sit down with them. They soon get the message and move on.

Perfectly acceptable common sense practice. I always do the same if I'm on my own. What are you going to do if you buy your food and then there's no table on which to eat it? Just stand there like a lemon and wait. To reserve a table while you order your food is the logical thing to do.Why do you presume they take their time? If they r hungry they want to eat just like you and will return to the table quite quickly. In 18 years I've never noticed any tables being reserved or blocked as you say for an unreasonable length of time. And actually Thais usually eat and go in food courts really quickly. They don't sit around chatting like we farangs tend to do. We block the tables more than them in this way.

Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
SunsetT replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have some first hand experience of this. As a landlord in the UK I used to support tenants with mental health problems. During that time I had two young male tenants in their early 20s both of whom had developed schizophrenia from cannabis use in their teens. They both had ex-hippy parents who had considered it harmless; safer than alcohol etc. and allowed them to regularly smoke it at home with their mates. As a result they are unable to work and need Powerful antipsychotic medication to keep them sane for the rest of their lives. Basically they have no future whatsoever! Basically their whole lives have been completely f u c k e d by cannabis. I enjoyed smoking it a bit when I was young and believe that it broadened and enhanced my creative thinking. But I stopped using it when I realized that it was destroying my common sense thinking. -
FFS.....It is not meant to go away. That is how the nuclear deterrent works and has worked since WW2.

Only emergency treatment for the first six months. -
I have lived separately from my Thai girlfriend for 13 years. I much prefer living on my own.

I know this has been asked many times but where is a re-entry permit issued on leaving at Suvarnabhumi please? The Aseannow search engine is no help whatsoever in finding previous discussions of this.
