You can read the Guardian and the Bangkok Post articles.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:44:28 +0000MulligatawnyTue, 26 May 2026 15:41:44 +0000Tue, 26 May 2026 15:41:35 +0000Symptoms currently aggregated under the term 'polio' (a term mentioned for the first time in 1911) certainly have been around for a long time. Muscle wasting associated with deformities, for example, was called 'debility of the lower extremities' in the 18th century.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:30:05 +0000I might use the rubber covered handle on one of my hammers. So far I only used my knuckles to rap on the black box. Didn't really get much oomph out of that attempt.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:29:37 +0000Being criticized by the international left that talk about the OP instead of the topic, is / has been an ongoing frustration . Recently visited my kids , things haven’t changed much in Newsom’s California. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/01/tailgate-park-would-be-ideal-site-for-homeless-center/Tue, 26 May 2026 15:25:49 +0000Do you have evidence of that? From what I have read, she consumed it, as well as the shrimp satay, and complained about them afterwards, which, if true, is both dishonest and pathetic.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:25:17 +0000Interesting. So (polio has been around for millennium) you are saying the ancient Egyptians had the ability to manufacture synthetic pesticides. Quite remarkable statment!Tue, 26 May 2026 15:25:10 +0000Your bizarre machinations to retain access to AN are probably reflective of a wide obsessive streak in your personality. Your post is just more evidence of that.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:23:25 +0000Probably not for government schools, but the original post asked about language schools. So I'm assuming a private employer, not the state.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:21:58 +0000was he walking on the correct side if the road.? nayTue, 26 May 2026 15:20:15 +0000Well, I hope tonight he is having a great time thinking about the rest of his life.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:18:01 +0000Interchangeable, take your pick. Just don't forget to add 'dangerous' before it.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:16:54 +0000Don't forget that correlation does not mean causation, Kandinski…Tue, 26 May 2026 15:15:04 +0000The tin foil hat populace believes that a large part of what is called 'polio' is actually caused by poisoning from neurotoxic pesticides such as DDT – the outbreaks always match(ed) the areas where they were/are used, including nowadays. Dr. Suzanne Humphries has written a great book on it. We are all nuts.Tue, 26 May 2026 15:05:08 +0000Feel sorry for the guy, I mean i'd be upset/do something stupid if i forgot to pack shirts for my well deserved vacation...Tue, 26 May 2026 15:00:06 +0000Unlike Thailand, Vietnam actually prosecutes them……….Tue, 26 May 2026 14:59:20 +0000IMO - thats almost certainly the case - we've seen it before (as discussed above).Tue, 26 May 2026 14:58:40 +0000The police are throwing the book at him - and rightly so. Investigators are reportedly examining every possible angle, whether his company was a nominee company (so he might lose that too), also he was riding illegal - and then the drug use and riding recklessly - he's facing multiple charges. What they can’t conclusively prove, however, is that he was under the influence while riding. Legally, there’s still the possibility he consumed drugs afterwards, which makes that specific charge harder to lock down beyond doubt with DUI. But regardless, he’s completely finished. This wasn’t just any victim - it was a doctor. And in Thailand, whenever a doctor becomes the victim of a high-profile incident, the public outrage is magnified to an extraordinary degree compared to what it would be for an ordinary citizen. We’ve seen it before. There was the ophthalmologist killed on a Bangkok zebra crossing by a speeding police officer, a case that triggered nationwide fury. Then there was the Phuket incident where a Swiss expat kicked a doctor in the back for sitting on beach steps later found to be illegally built on public land. That case exploded into a national scandal, fuelled by public anger over. So this case is operating in that same atmosphere. The legal system, media and public pressure will be relentless. There is virtually zero chance he escapes this lightly.Tue, 26 May 2026 14:58:00 +0000The only issue there is long wait list (as in, sometimes several years.. but it does vary by hospital). If you can tolerate the wait, and givrn yhst NHS already offered you the procedure, good idea to do under NHS.Tue, 26 May 2026 14:54:17 +0000Forget him - he's already proven he's only here to troll.... Your comment makes perfect sense - my folks are currently in about £600 credit with their electricity bill. That will slowly get eaten up through the winter - in fact, I think they are going to lower their monthly bill so it gets eaten up more quickly - otherwise they are nearly always in credit which gets on my fathers rag and thinks they are running somewhat of a scam the way they calculate the monthly rate averaged out across the year.Tue, 26 May 2026 14:49:23 +0000Some are. Though unfortunately had to put a couple few of on ignore, not because of disagreements, because it’s inconvenient to scroll past all the fluff.Tue, 26 May 2026 14:48:04 +000030 Million Won = about $20 Thousand USDTue, 26 May 2026 14:44:20 +0000GB Long-winded 🙄Tue, 26 May 2026 14:39:50 +0000
