The service was there if the occupant wanted it. He could have approached the security desk and the ID would have been logged. You could see the security guard take note of their entry, deciding to not disturb them. It was the perpetrator's choice to not register her at the desk.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:31:05 +0000An Aussie for the love of god ,born Ballarat, shown on his passportMon, 29 Jun 2026 08:31:01 +0000MMM ticket prices up to pay her / his fine.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:30:57 +0000You would be right, ID checks are hotels not condos so much.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:30:51 +0000You sure it was a he?

Some may call nonviolent direct action lawlessness. Others may say direct action is just vandalism and not nonviolent at all. If no one was hurt, that's nonviolence. Nonviolence works, with a little encouragement for moneybags to do the right thing.] HSBC dumps all of its shares in Elbit Systems after direct action The AfterShock: May 8, 2026 Latest reports show HSBC dropped all of its shareholdings in Elbit Systems. This full withdrawal of shares comes after a sustained direct action campaign against the bank by People Against Genocide. The group first targeted the bank by damaging over 10 HSBC branches on 13th December 2025, over the banks investment in Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Many of those actions involved throwing red paint over the branches and shattering windows, which forced the temporary closure of many of the targeted branches. “HSBC withdrawing all of its investments in the Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems, shows once again, that direct action works. HSBC’s withdrawal shows that direct action works and follows many other firms also making the sensible decision to cut ties with Elbit, rather than face sustained direct action.“Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:28:21 +0000Our Future Queen Princess Kate has just completed a challenge that most Able bodied people will find tough.

Do not give them oxygen - ultimately they reincarnate under a different user name - yet their same vapid patterns quickly emerge - I have the same poster on 'ignore' from a handful of different user-names by now - in each of his guises he was equally classless, equally disliked and consistently showed zero redeeming features. A true forum troll that brings nothing but degredation to every thread he pollutes - ignore is the only solution for such cretins.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:24:26 +0000Wrangling in-country overstays requires effort (as many are probably not where they say they are/were when they initially landed/reported), and effort is not something typically seen from Thai authorities for anything less than a capital crime. And if it were not for CCTV many more capital crimes would probably go unsolved (but I digress). It would be interesting to know how many overstays there are currently in Thailand (as of today). You can't fix what you don't measure and report. So I suspect they won't be publishing any monthly numbers on current "suspected in-country overstays" anytime soon. Too embarrassing.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:24:15 +0000Maybe it’s just me who got an A star in Maths A level - but 6% is not a large number.

I've personally never been to a condo like that where they would check your ID, especially if you come in with a resident. Usually, there is some fingerprint recognition or code for the elevator to go up to the actual apartments.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 08:23:08 +0000
