    They should combine that with a ban on arms sales to Israel.

    Yes, I'm now 66 and I still work, though consultancy work, and only for about 3 months a year. I see no reason to stop whilst people are still happy to offer me work. Yes, but I enjoy what I do, if it was working shift at the widget factory I suspect I'd quit at the earliest opportunity.

    No delays from Singapore, transfers complete in seconds

    I suspect the terrified children of Palestine would beg to differ.

    The 21 killed in the Birmingham pub bombings and the 180 maimed and injured, their friends and family would dispute that. But that wasn't what I was responding to, rather your failing to see any similarities in the disproportionate nature of the figures for those murdered Hamas v IRA - Hamas v IDF. You were happy to highlight the former but quick to sidestep the latter.

    Yes I can see you're blind to the obvious

    This is not unusual, a few months ago I watched our local meter reader's progress down our soi, for one meter placed high on a pole he nipped into the seamstress shop and borrowed a chair to be able to get in range of the RFID. All our meters are digitally read but the range seems to be about 1m - after climbing off the stool, putting his shoes back on again, he returned the stool to the seamstress with a polite wai of thanks.

    Hamas around 764 civilians killed in one day, the IDF has killed 35,562 Palestinian including 7,797 children, 4,959 women and 1,924 elderly in 6 months. Can you see a difference here?

    BS, there was no warning for the Birmingham pub bombings. The IRA were just as indiscriminate and callous as Hamas.

    You aren't too bright Bob are you, given the observations you made, it doesn't take a genius to realise that keg of piss has been sat there for months in the blistering heat.

    The readings don't change, all you do by picking a classification is select the levels at which your app will flag hypertension, they're all much the same, just the nomenclature changes. I guess they give the options so the app is using the same terms as your doctor.

    No. Markets react to uncertainty, there is little uncertainty to the outcome of the July election. As for Labour policy, they've been quite clear they aren't about to raise taxes, or do anything much else; certainly no Trussonomic cataclysms. The Conservatives have left them with empty coffers anyway.

    Not sure how you define 'hiso' but Hakparn comes from a fairly ordinary background, his father was a junior police officer and his mother a school teacher. His wife's family, although now wealthy, are also from fairly modest origins, Bancha Panitchapong's business started with a 10Bht bus Songkhla to Hat Yai. Surachate and Sirinatda were childhood sweethearts, as corny as that might sound. Hakparn is well like in the south.

    It intrigues me as to why you feel you need to know your place?

    You might not have but the compressors on a/c and refrigerators have been working extra hard in the hot weather. Our bill this month was the highest in 20 years of living in Hat Yai; 1183Kwh was the most we've used in a month, and we weren't doing anything extra either. ,

    Very incongruous sitting as it did in the heart of KL, but it wasn't alone there was a Thai themed bar/restaurant on the opposite side of Jalan Ampang which was almost as bad, but The Beach Club was a total meat market and you were the meat.

    Strewth the 'Bitch Club', if you were still there at closing time you'd be lucky to get out with clothes on your back, the girls grabbing at you, desperate for a someone to take them home. Sad when I saw it'd closed.

    If I compare my expenditure on food, clothes and leisure then my spending has remained pretty much the same just looking back over the last five years. However, my base currency is the Singapore Dollar, the Thai Baht has depreciated some 23% over the last 5 years. So that implies inflation in Thailand over the last 5 years amounts to approximately 23% for me living in Hat Yai.

    Big Joke's wife is the daughter of the late Bancha Panitchapong, Hat Yai businessman (real estate and transport), her inheritance is over Baht 1 billion - he doesn't need to work. He started his signature campaign last week in Songkhla. https://www.hatyaifocus.com/news-detail/26571/ .

    Lobster thermidor is a French classic, not that I'm a huge fan of lobster.

    I gave up on 3rd party AV software with Windows 10, the built in Windows Security software works fine.

    The western route, main highway, crossing at Sadao/Bukit Kayu Hitam is considered outside the conflict zone. Crossing at either Sadao or Padang Besar would be the easiest. Getting to and crossing at Betong would probably be the more interesting. .
