The Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel RFA Lyme Bay departed Gibraltar last month carrying advanced autonomous mine-hunting systems and more than 100 specialist Royal Navy personnel.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:38:04 +0000We just need Cam to chip in.... ...

These Dear Abby threads, grow and grow, they're like a cancer. Good to see we have the regulars commenting here. Keep up the good work boys, I reckon we can beat 274 pages.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:34:49 +0000Malaysia Changes for CBU fully imported EVs, from July 1st minimum selling price of RM300,000 approx B2,440,998 and minimum power output of 180 kW, which is equivalent to 245 PS or 241 hp For context, let’s take a look at BYD. Currently, the EV giant’s entire lineup in Malaysia is CBU imported but only the Seal and Sealion 7 meet the minimum 180 kW requirement – this means that unless they’re locally assembled, the Dolphin, M6, Atto 2, Atto 3 and Seal 6 will no longer be allowed to be sold here. For the two surviving sea creatures, the Seal and Sealion 7 are currently priced below RM200k, which means that their CIF figures are well below RM200k – even if this value can somehow be inflated to meet MITI’s new CIF requirement, would anyone pay in excess of RM300k for those models when everyone knows the ‘true’ tax-free price. So, while it’s not worded as such, is this effectively a ban on non-premium CBU EVs? https://paultan.org/2026/05/06/miti-issues-new-rules-for-cbu-evs-effective-min-price-rm300k-245-ps-fr-july-promote-ckd-protect-proton/ Will Byd increase their Thailand imports to offset Malaysian imports reductionFri, 05 Jun 2026 07:34:43 +0000Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:34:28 +0000HancockFri, 05 Jun 2026 07:34:01 +0000All the criminals in the area will have to take a little holiday in Chiang Mai , till it blows over ,then they can return ,and get right back to what they were doing before. regards worgeordieFri, 05 Jun 2026 07:33:45 +0000Not really.

I hope he gets home and recovers as best he can.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:29:22 +0000Oh really! free pic.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:28:20 +0000Don't you such a party bopper! Don knows how to grow a Party 🎉 🥳Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:27:56 +0000Police were accessories to his murder through their stupidity combined with their subversive cultural marxist brainwashing that 'racism' is the worst crime a person can commit. Whites need to wake the **** up and STOP batting for the other teams! IMHO they hate us cos they ain't us - You live in Thailand so should know this!:Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:27:31 +0000Somewhat amusing that you insist my comments remain unread while somehow keeping meticulous track of how many I've made. You're not showing indifference - you're showing fandom !!! Seems I'm now living rent-free in your head. He's real - Fiction has one major limitation: the characters are usually capable of learning from events as they unfold.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:27:30 +0000Again, people making up stories about Muslim countries not taking in Palestinians. Countries hosting the largest Palestinian populations include: Jordan: ~2.4 million to 3.2 million. Jordan hosts the largest population, with the vast majority holding full citizenship. Syria: ~430,000 to 450,000. Historically hosting a large number, though many have been internally displaced or have fled since the Syrian civil war. Lebanon: ~250,000 to 480,000. Palestinians in Lebanon face long-standing restrictions on socio-economic rights and heavily rely on the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Saudi Arabia: ~280,000 to 300,000. Chile!!!: ~500,000. This is the largest Palestinian community located outside of the Middle East. United States: ~250,000+. Egypt: ~270,000. Qatar: ~100,000. Germany: ~80,000 (with a large community of ~30,000–40,000 in Berlin). Kuwait: ~80,000. It's just nonsense to say Arabs don't want Palestinians.

Such undeserved flattery, IMHO. Still, I do welcome all constructive criticism such as yours. And, as I have previously stated: I will NEVER, EVER, put you on my ignore list...provided that you....

It's just a word. Stereotypes exist for a reason and if some people don't like other groups theres likely a reason. Maybe not a valid reason but people should be allowed free choice. Often names called are linked to behaviours rather than skin colour as Chris Rock famously pointed out. Or does him saying this make him racist too???:Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:19:08 +0000It's because he's working hard! 🤣Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:17:47 +0000Sure, I'll pass it on. But I'm still laughing about your post about David Fletcher. I think your boss has lost the plot. That's a subject close to his heart. Is Drummond paying you and not telling me?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:17:32 +0000In this case, would you not say that the QuestionMark Emoji might be redundant, and also ambiguos? You have made your analysis clear, using English, from the beginning. Therefore, is it really warranted to use redundant ambiguous symbols to convey that which you have previously communicated so clearly? Still....Have Fun....if you will. I do not mind, as you know.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:17:25 +0000
