So your mother would also be happy to hear political leaders and people in the public eye set up programmes to convince people that women should have the right to vote removed, and black people should not be allowed on buses......and Jews should be deported.....as its 'free speach'?

What are you going on aboht haha?

That seems like exploitation of young girls becasue they are poor.

Would you guys be fine with your 20 year old good looking daughters marrying an overweight 70 year old Thai immigrant to your country, who was only there on a retirement visa and could not speak a word of your own language, and who already had grown up kids and an ex wife?

Our resident mynah birds kill them on sight. They don't eat them once dead, just leave them on the driveway. Had a live one in the house and I used a broom to push it out the door....but the thing was so fast it got onto the broom and ran up the handle towards me!

Op if you can't trust her, feel the need to check up and spy on her, and are getting stressed up about the relationship.......then you know its time to end it. It's not working. Kick her to the curb and get on with enjoying you life.

You have probably pushed wax deeper into your ear with the cotton when cleaning. There is no need to clean inside you ears like that. Your ears self clean. You only need to clean them when you shower and not poke things down into them.

This can't be good for the environment. More huge plastic bags with toxic chemicals soup and human remains inside. How to they dispose of them?. They try to say cremation is bad as it makes harmful ennisions, but this new way will be worse. How do they think the water gets hot...magic? Best way is to chop up the body and feed to the seagulls.

If you are the one paying for the school....stop paying and send your girl to another school or keep her at that school and stop paying for the extra maths stuff. If your wife does not like it, then that's just too bad for her. If she wants to divorce you over that matter then the marriage is not worth being in anyway. But, actually, how is your child? Are you perhaps worrying too much about it? If she gets a nap in the afternoon or sometime in the day that is fine for her to sleep less at night. Does she get stressed and upset about the extra work or does she just moan about it(like a typical kid would). Or maybe she actually enjoys it? If she seems OK then I would say let her keep doing the extra work.

Common iora

I looks like an Anthurium hookeri hybrid. Belongs to the birds nest fern family. It likes shade to partial shade.

Yes. But goat and sheep leave rather dry pellets. Geese and ducks leave huge amounts of sloppy wet poops that really stink.

To keep grass down you need sheep...not goats. Goats are browsers not grazers. With sheep you will need to have someone trim off their wool at regular intervals. I would not get geese....they are very noisy and also leave feathers and sloppy stinking poop everywhere.

Exactly. We also need to make the zero hours contracts illegal. These businesses that employed migrant workers from the EU were exploiting them. It was worth it to do these jobs for the EU workers as our £ was worth more back in their hone countries. They could work here a few years, and also get government help from various benefits. They could stand it as they had a plan to return home with the money. And good for them, most worked very hard. However, it's not worth British residents doing these low paid jobs, they would be worse off! These companies offer no paid holidays or leave, no job security or sick pay, no contracted hours etc. I know of farmers who paid well under the minium wage, cash in hand. The workers sleeping all together in outbuildings or shabby accommodation...and the cost of the accommodation and transport taken out of their wages. Yet these farmers were very wealthy,, driving about on expensive cars and living in huge houses. They need to pay a fair wage and have contracted jobs....then British people would work for them.

They can invest money on humans too. It's not one thing or another.

How is it a 'woke mess' that 2 people of the same sex can get married and not be discriminated against in law?

Why is it so hard for people to understand this? OP. You cannot do work at your wife's business. You must have a work permit. You not 'just help out' nor can you do voluntary work, even for a good cause of some kind.....without proper documentation.

Could it also be due to the foreign owned energy, water and utility companies constantly hiking their prices to crazy expensive levels, while making record amounts of profit at the same time? Also, all the profit they make goes out of the country and is not invested in repairs or improvements, hence why we now have raw sewerage being pumped into our rivers and seas, and water pipes leaking vast amounts of water daily, and NO new reservoirs being built, and the government lets them get away with it without fines or penalties? There is also some 'jump on the band wagon' going on to I suspect. When some companies put up the prices of their products for real reasons to do with transport costs or rise in cost of raw materials, other companies see people will pay more for their goods too, and so put their prices up (even if extra costa re not affecting production of their own goods).

They are all totally domesticated birds. They have been bred for generations in captivity over hundreds of years and are much changed from their wild ancestors. Wild budgies, for example, are not available as pets...rightly so. Wild budgies are always light green and less than half the size of the domesticated ones. They are also very skittish and would not get tame or friendly to humans. The same goes for the finches and quails. It's like the yellow canary and white magicians doves. They are totally domesticated and don't exist in the wild..they have been bred for thousands of years in captivity....same as the chickens and geese on farms. They can't go back to the wild as they have lost most of their survival instincts through generations of captive breeding for size, colour mutations and tameness. If they were set free they would flutter around aimlessly, not know how to find any food, and not be afraid of predators like cats and hawks. They would only last a few days at most. It's like how a pet dog is no longer a wild wolf, and if someone released their dog into the wilderness it would not survive long, or the big fat white pet rabbits with floppy ears...they would just happy hop about getting picked off by foxes or birds of prey. I don't agree with having any wild animal as a pet. I also don't agree with keeping pet birds in small cages. They need room the fly and exercise to stay healthy and happy. Occasionally I have had some escape...and thankfully they always come back in a day or two and I just open the door and they go straight back inside. I have even had serval stray budgies turn up trying to get in with mine. Again I open the door and they fly inside.

Thanks. ????

I've seen some people around my area grown plantations of mahogany trees. Don't know if they would be better than teak for your situation. You might have to fsrrilaze the soil if the teak trees have used up all the nutrients after all those years of growing.

HI. Are they any other people on here that keep pet budgies in an aviary in their garden? I keep and breed budgies, Chinese Painted Quails and Gouldian Finches. I'm interested to chat with anyone who also keeps birds as a hobby, especially if you are located in Chiang Mai. VID_20200418_164124~2.mp4

A lesson is how uncontrolled tourism can wreck the environment.

I never drank alcohol when younger for religious reasons. Then, at around 24 years old, when I realised religion was a lie, I started enjoying and appreciating life more....which included drinking alcohol. As I have got older alcohol has lost much of its attraction for me. I gradually drank less and less. These days at age 46 I hardly even drink it. My last drink of alcohol was about 5 months ago. One factor is the widely available alcohol here in Thailand is #@#%!. Anything that tastes good is imported and is a rip off price. Even though I could afford it I have no desire to be ripped off and the tax go to the government. When I visit the UK or abroad I will have an occasional drink, as I can get the stuff I like, such as a good brandy, port or red wine.
