I do hope that the former-soldier PM's loyalty to his colleague is not misplaced.

 

Caesar's wife, or his deputy-PM, needs to be seen to be above suspicion, not untouchable.

They should watch the Ides.

How much did that pay Uber.

Ads should be called that and not posed as journalism.

The Queen drives in an old carriage that is not comfortable and she has two heavy crowns. Riveting.

Yes dries out the rubber bits that's why there should be a little oil bottle in the engine bay you top up ( this was quite a while back ) 

They also recently (a few yrs or so back ) made a Ford totally reliant on LPG

Oils are used especially for LPG cars. Every taxis' in Australia are run on LPGs which says something. 

I have a daily rubbish collection in CM so some of the system is working.

In Melbourne, Australia we get a weekly rubbish collection.

Sait Can Ozdemir, from Ballymartin in Co Down, lies in a hospital bed in Chiang Mai Ram hospital in Thailand

 

A CO Down man has only a "small chance" of walking again after a serious bike accident in Thailand.

 

Sait Can Ozdemir, born in Turkey but who moved to Ballymartin as a child, also suffered a broken wrist, a punctured lung and had fluid on his lungs after he lost control of the bike he was riding and it fell into a ditch.

 

He has now told how he has been "humbled" after well-wishers at home raised more than £43,000 to pay for his recovery.

He will need every penny and more to cover the money donoted to cover RAM. They are so careful to cover every bill that they will even test him for pregnancy.

If you are doing DIY things at your own home there is not a problem with doing it.

Doing a major renovation or painting the entire exterior of the house might attract attention of somebody.

The crux is that the home is not yours. The DIY you are doing is for someone else's home. 

Australians are used to not smoke in public areas in their country so it shouldn't be a problem in Pattya.

Many of Australian bikies are Middle East. There drug development was formed when Lebanese criminals were immigrated to Australia in the 70s.

Recently other Australian bikies were tossed out of Bali, not getting past the airport.

Surely there must be more to this story ?

Whilst She went to the toilet , her Husband got attacked and then taken to Hospital and he got taken away by an ambulance by the time She got back and there was no sign of the attack ?

   More like , they were drinking in the bar, had a disagreement , he stormed off and had an accident

Your crystal ball is working at over work.

Gekko Garden Pub.

Cigarettes have been banned at bars and smokers just ignore. Beaches will be the same after a couple of months.

NZ immigration should have Thai visas from your mother when she moved to NZ to get passport, visas, etc .

Might be a software update, Kodi has been forced to disable things which might allow you to watch streaming content and non copyright.
Is it all movies or online streaming stuff?

You could try a factory reset and reload everything.
Or if your box is a little old buy a new one with the latest x265 codec.

Kodi has stopped everything. Cant use called all stopped.

Kodi has seized my android box and now can't use any movies, etc. Does anyone please know a tech who comes to my home repair?

I would please like to recommend a neurologist who specialises in stroke.

Use TransferWise. Best way of using funds from Australian and to Thai.

Mine sim is good for 12 months but I have had it for a long time. Frequent small top ups will ectend the expiry date. 

If overseas there and you want to keep your sim card alive there are online top up companies. Mobiletopup. Com is one.

Since Australia is allowing for the 'extreme vetting' by the US, it sounds like a reasonable deal.   I am not sure what the US is getting in return, but it may help with preventing more Central Americans from heading North.  

The trade off is that Australia will continue to support the US right or wrong in all their little  police actions they like to call wars across the world. Our Government is willing to spill our troops blood to keep the Muslims out.

With Costello I believe you're confusing the Future Fund for government employee's superannuation, with welfare based Age Pension for the general public.

Costello pinched the funds put aside and paid for by taxpayers for their future pensions. If they were paid what they were entitled from the fund it would be considerably more than they get now. It was a pension fund, funded by those who would draw on the pension in the future, and irrelevant what he did with it if it did not go to pensioners. Howard and Costello squandered billions from the mining boom and still had steal from the poorest.

Good lawyer speak.

Why do they need to go back for two years to collect it is the main question. Most likely they will be of an age that means they can't find a job etc etc.

Just an excuse that the gov' uses to get away with not paying it as far as I'm concerned.

The initial reason for the two year residence in Australia prior to pension payments was because may Greeks, mainly Greeks, worked for a few years in Australia and the returned home. At the age of 65 they claimed the Australian pension. Subsequently others followed this path, particularly Lebanese. The Government lowered the boom and now all eligible people must be in Australia two years before they can claim. It is unjust if you have worked and paid taxes most of your life in Australia.

The other problem is that some people who immigated to Australia, returned to their home country, and claimed the Australia pension then never died as far as the Australian Government know.. When they die the die as Greeks or Serbians or Lebanese or whatever and the Australian embassy is not notified of their death by local authorities..

So far as I know there is no link whatsoever to Oz Government Age Pension welfare claim & payment processes to refugee policy. In any case Oz Govt Age Pension are paid out of the Federal annual budget, not from a paid into pension fund.

The former Federal Treasurer Peter Costello stole the pension fund some years ago and used it to balance his budget.

The pension payment in Australia is unusual, compared with many countries, in as much as a person who has worked his entire life is paid the same as someone who has never been employed, yet lived in Australia for many years.

People working on farms in Australia always take their boots off before entering their homes. It is a matter of common sense.

In my home in Thailand I am a bit lax and walk into the house to take off my shoes because it is easier. But if I go to a friends home I always take off shoes before entering. It is no big hassle.

I believe it is a cultural thing that has developed from village living where there are no pavements and animals roam free.

title should read  ''TOUR GUIDES'' etc...professional only be thai standards...

When you are fluent in 5 languages and speak another reasonably well, as my tour guide wife does, we will talk about your professional standards.

I gather by your post that English is your second language.

How many of the proposed Chinese tour guides do you think will be able to speak Thai? What a big help these guides will be when they can't speak the local language.

The Chinese 'zero dollar' mob are just trying to con their way back into Thailand.
