Iranian regime has killed thousands, even thousands of their own innocent citizens. Do don’t do anything and let the inane regime continue to murder, or wipe them out? Which is the greater evil of the three? Pacifism of course.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:49:37 +0000Rather interesting, they got the same sentence as the two innocent Burmese boys of Koh Tao.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:49:37 +0000Savanna Nightjar, and crappy snap of, but new species for me. It was wet, sunsetting, and maybe tomorrow, get a better snap with a different camera. Been sitting on our soi, almost nightly, but at sunset, and usually takes off when it sees us starting to walk toward it. Tonight, it let me walk right up to it, about 3m away ... WTF. After I put the camera back in the house of course, as too heavy to carry while walking the dog, and pending rain. None reported on Ebird or Nat. Park site, this far south where we are.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:48:32 +0000I have emailed Khun Sanong to ask that he name the airlines.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:45:43 +0000Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:45:08 +0000One big thing Pattaya has over Bangkok is a much wider selection of housing of all types, and with more selection at all price ranges. Bangkok, of course, has lots of condos for sale and rent, but so does Pattaya, just on a smaller scale. Pattaya really has it over Bangkok, though, in single-family, one-story pool villas, which are very popular with expats. There are hundreds of nice pool villa projects with single-story homes all over Pattaya to choose from. You can buy a single-family one-story home with a pool for around 5MB or around 50 MB, and every price point in-between the two. And, lots of rentals also available if you prefer to rent. Actually, it also has it all over Bangkok in 2-story pool villas available, too. Spouse and I are looking for a single-story pool villa to buy in the suburbs of Bangkok, budget 10 to 20MB, and so far have not found a single project--if anyone knows of one, sing out. What we have found is just project after project of rather uninspired two-story homes, almost all with no private pools--and no room on the lot for a pool. This very wide selection of housing, to buy or rent, explains why Pattaya is booming with new residents. Housing is usually a big ticket budget item for most people and Pattaya's wide selection wins hands down over Bangkok--and this is coming from someone who does have a Bangkok condo. If you look at my earlier list, Pattaya also does well with all the other things I listed, important things residents look for in a place where they will be living, not visiting as a tourist. Of course, Bangkok is going to win over Pattaya with a list such of this of malls, hospitals, recreation choices, and so on, as it's so much, much bigger, but Pattaya does very well with all of them for a city of its size.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:45:01 +0000So you’re claiming to be wingate, how revealing. These are facts that you fail to pay attention to… …nor any other person around here.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:44:38 +0000The Americans would rig it, by manipulating the visa process, and not admitting key members of the Iranian team. The USA would need to finish top of their group. The Iranians would need to finish second in their group. Both would need to win their round of 32 matches. Then they would meet on July 5th in New Jersey. The fix will be in. Iran will not be allowed to win that match. And actually, if both teams had gotten to that point, Iran would have had the harder route, and probably more deserved of progressing. We also have to remember that the US has purposely put Iran at a complete disadvantage throughout the tournament. All of Iran's group matches are on the West coast USA, but their visa conditions, which we have seen are subject to arbitrary and random change, allow them only 24 hours in the US. So in between matches, rather than a team bus to a nearby camp for recovery, training, they are going to be spending a significant amount of time waiting at airports, waiting in line to see hyper aggressive immigration officer, with possibly a 10-15 hour interview for each player per US entry. Their opening matches are likely their toughest. The USA though are in a very soft group. Hoping Paraguay might pull off an upset.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:42:36 +0000I compared Patts with CM, Bangkok and Phuket. Patts ranked 4th lol Don't get upset.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:40:13 +0000Did you have a quote? No? I thought not.

This week (of all weeks) they thought it would be a good idea to announce that they will pay firms £5000 per foreign worker they hire. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15889685/Labour-5k-hire-foreign-workers-subsidising-visas.html Absolute morons.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:38:18 +0000Someone please explain to Trump how the trade deficit works. LOL. Yeah sorry, I don't know.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:37:54 +0000To name the airlines is not defamation, just making the public aware of an airline's practices, like baggage allowance.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:36:24 +0000It looked pretty bent up.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:36:09 +0000I actually think the only thing preventing the entire UK from descending into full blown rioting / race war right now is the (somewhat naive) hope that things can still be fixed with a democratic vote. Should Reform not deliver or just replicate the Tories, or the fragmented right allow Labour another term I think the next immigrant gang rape of a child, beheading, Taylor Swift dance class butchering or police assisted murder will be the breaking point.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:35:37 +0000Those white coats comes to mind!Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:34:28 +0000Laughing at me for what reason? That seems mad in itself. You created a competition between Bangkok and Pattaya that no one else is involved in. It was just you. Now you are laughing at the game that you played with yourself?Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:33:36 +0000A low value post has been removed: Low-Value Posts - Posts that add no written contribution are not allowed.
