Did I really decry pedantry, when?Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:57:50 +0000well their only other option would be to apologise and that's never going to happenThu, 11 Jun 2026 04:57:44 +0000I just got a butt hurt down from some daily mirror type, I’m sure I would like in real life. So: UK defense is 62.2 B UK refugee services is 2.4 B And a lot of that goes for public health that keeps the entire population safe. My argument stands, arguing against refugee services on the base of cost is not meaningful. The supposition that if all that money was withheld that it would go to services that you approve of, shows a touching innocence about the way government’s work. This very modest sum for humanitarian aid is reasonable and proportionate for England. You can argue against immigration, and I would largely agree with you. But this argument has nothing to do with that argument.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:57:26 +0000Could be this one but I don't see any posts from you in it: https://aseannow.com/topic/1384033-thai-lawyer-holding-company/Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:56:52 +0000Based on merit not gender of course.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:56:51 +0000Spouse and I started in Rayong in 2010 when we moved to Thailand. We had a beachfront condo at Royal Rayong--actually two, which we quickly fixed up and sold. We soon found there wasn't enough of anything near where we were living to keep us interested and it was a long drive from the beach to get to anything. One weekend we drove to Pattaya and quickly decided Pattaya was more to our liking and this is where we wanted to be. Turned out to be a great move for us.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:55:41 +0000Different dialects I agree but that does not make and variations the definitive one. I know Americans think they invented everything but you didnt. Definitely. We all understand what Americans say despite their own variation of a word. We have a lot in common in many things not just language. If you right back in history I think we would all be confused. However, the common dialect we have to day is simpler. Just the same the UK version is the one more in line with the history although go back far enough and none of us would understand a single word. Webster is the US version of the English language. The USA has had the tendency to remove or change letters that make up a word but are silent when spoken. I don't think there is anything wrong with that but if we are talking definitives the UK version holds that title.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:55:18 +0000Domestic terrorism?

A United Ireland at lastThu, 11 Jun 2026 04:53:54 +0000I am well aware of the difference and that's why I'm hanging my head in shame, I apologise unreservedly, I've let you down, ( and a fanboy of yours called "new guy"), I've let the forum down, but worst of all I've let my self down . Serves me right for arrogantly thinking I could live without a spell checker. I was a little bit disappointed that you elected to mention this publicly, I thought you might have discreetly sent me a private message so that I could correct my stupid mistake, but on reflection you are right , A public shaming is the least I deserve. and its too late for me to edit it now anyway, Strangely though in an earlier post you appeared to decry pedantry , but I can't deny your right to a change of heart. Ps. Their and There would rarely be written in block capitals, and that is not something I was guilty of? did you do that for maximum dramatic effect?Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:53:40 +0000Princess Anne is scheduled to visit Thailand on July 16 and 17, 2026, marking her first trip to the country since 1987. The Princess Royal will travel with her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, for a two-day official programme confirmed by the British Embassy in Bangkok. Her itinerary includes an audience with His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida, as well as paying respects to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. She is also expected to meet Thailand’s prime minister, visit a school supported by Save the Children Thailand, and take part in cultural and health-related engagements. The visit adds another chapter to the long relationship between Thailand and the United Kingdom, which formally began diplomatic ties in 1855.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:53:05 +0000I now remember from another thread where you said, "I have been a tax resident (and filed null-returns) for the last 10 years or so." I guess now they're curious as to why you haven't had any taxable income for ten years..... .... which hammers home even more solidly why one shouldn't file a null tax return, nor even get a TIN, if you don't mind foregoing piddly withholding tax on bank interest. [But for Yanks who file US tax returns, you can get this withholding tax back as a credit -- and not having a TIN makes this audit proof.]Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:52:57 +0000Yes, that is why I referred to him as Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, and said that he was then Prince Andrew, Duke of York.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:52:55 +0000Different dialects I agree but that does not make and variations the definitive one.

The canal-side community, near Bangkok, has become a photogenic stop for visitors following filming locations featured in the series. Tourists have been visiting Bangkok Artist House, canal bridges, craft shops, food stalls, and nearby riverside attractions. Social media users have also shared travel guides connecting the area with other Bangkok locations shown in the drama, including Talad Noi, MBK, and spots along the Chao Phraya River. While it is unclear exactly how much the show has influenced visitor numbers, the community is enjoying a rise in online attention and tourist interest.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:52:12 +0000I have tried the inverter/heat pump style of dryer, and I have never, ever been satisfied with it. When renovating our house, adding a laundry room, I made sure to accommodate for a dryer with an exhaust hose. No way was I going to use those new fangled dryers. The clothes never got dry, no matter how many hours you put them in there. And it takes so much longer. I need results, and the old-style forced air dryer does the job and does it well. We bought an Electrolux that handles 10kg and we use it every day. With the amount of use we ask out of it, one of the never-dry takes-hours-for-damp-clothes inverter types just would not meet the standard.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:51:45 +0000If you hang in the Sun your clothes go through Solar Disinfection with UV light.

Customers and staff later reported nausea, dizziness, diarrhoea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. The 70-year-old shop owner said she had run out of salt and used the substance after tasting it and finding it salty. Police said the substance had reportedly come from bags found in a rubbish pile and passed along by people who did not know what it was. Officials have seized the material for testing, while most victims are now stable and one family has filed a complaint seeking compensation.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:50:02 +0000The BBC are still calling it a knife attack as of a few hours ago "over a knife attack in north Belfast on Monday that caused serious injuries to the victim, Stephen Ogilvie."
