Nobody is suggestion Israel commits half the crimes in the world.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:50:43 +0000Thought about it somewhat.. just a couple of weeks ago wife and I were out at a social event I turned to one side and said to the lady next to me "dearest do you think I have any signs of dementia ?" She replied "I've no idea, I'm not your wife, she's standing over there" So carry on driving and I'll ask her again when I remember.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:50:15 +0000Having to search on google says it all.... they were excellent for travellers back in the 70's and 80's (possibly into the 90's), but other forms of payment took over after that. Think Travellers checks, fax machines and analog phones. Same era.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:50:14 +0000Aaah, how sweet, brotherly love.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:50:05 +0000I have twice renewed my UK debit card - both times by entering the PIN in a Thai ATM. That said, I have encountered a problem using it as a debit card. When I renewed my passport the bank refused the payment to the agency in Chiang Mai. When I contacted them they said it was flagged up as a suspicious transaction as it was made in Thailand. I asked them what address they held for me - an embarrassed silence and then, "oh yes, you live in Thailand"!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:49:39 +0000Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:50 +0000There is no justification for Genocide. Your support for Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians is already well established.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:24 +0000China, Iran, Russia and Israel are cheering this on!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:21 +0000They will have more and more regions for wine grapes, maybe Scotland will change from Whisky to White Wine in the near future. As for myself, I will go to Europe as Thailand is too cold😅🤣😂🥶Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:16 +0000I don't agree with you. Most of your mentioned dissapointments are strongly related to world's economy derailed by Donald Trump and in addition Putin's war. It matters not only UK but all EU countries too. So, to improve UK's place in EU it was the best step to move closer and very close to the EU market again. Unfortunately the populace didn't follow him, expecting the government's benefit as a hammock for comfortable life. And unfortunately they fell for right wing Nazi speech, promising whatever it takes to come to power. Good night, Britain then.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:11 +0000Are you sure about this? Im pretty sure in Phuket one can get 60-day family extension once per entry. I just checked Phuket immigration volunteers website and there is written - The family extension can be granted 1 time on each entry into Thailand. Updated : April 2025 Maybe this is another case where each immigration office has its own rules.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:07 +0000This thread shows the usual problem. When Hamas kills civilians, it is terrorism, and rightly so. When a state kills children in large numbers, suddenly people want long explanations, context, excuses, and attacks on the UN. You can dislike the UN. You can dislike Hamas. You can dislike Iran. None of that answers the actual allegation. Children are not Hamas. That should not be difficult.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:48:01 +0000How about an agreement that was working being left in place for the extra seven years it had left to run, rather than ripping it up and, in effect saying....go ahead refine your uranium and we'll worry about it when you get from 3% to 60%.......Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:47:39 +0000A three way split in the reactionary rightwing vote is not at all a bad thing.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:46:56 +0000In an earlier forum news item it was reported that Trump said he would not approve the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (that had already passed both chambers of Congress with support from Republicans and Democrats) until lawmakers passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. When a leader holds a popular or vital bill hostage to force unrelated demands, Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice (Act 4, Scene 1) perfectly captures the transactional, uncompromising nature of the situation: "I stand here for law"!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:45:53 +0000Thais including many adults (including young and older parents who should be more focused on their kids / toddlers spend many hours a day glued to their phones, often as much as 12 or more hours a day. If there's legislation I would suggest making it illegal / blocking for kids under 20 years old from connection, not 16.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:45:22 +0000You need to get back to Blighty note often Jonny, you’re English comprehension is failing you.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:45:19 +0000Agree no chance presently. I am implying that pressure is growing and shifting politics in the House to halt at least some of the weapon sales and more debates on the extent of aid to Israel. Then there are clashes over Israel military escalation and strong criticism by Trump of Netanyahu's actions. The strongest pressure will likely be the stalled nuclear talks which Trump paint himself to a corner with his big claims.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:44:03 +0000Oh dear. This was the one crumb of comfort for the lefties after the muslim terrorist attack in Bondi. Their hero. Oh how they celebrated the strength of diversity. Doesn't seem to have aged too well. 😀Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:43:14 +0000I think the big advantage of Thailand is that I don't have to pay $150 for a 5 minute consult with my doctor to get a script for that $10 refill.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:41:40 +0000Yep, govt usually fails miserably at everything they touch. They do need to up the subsidies on the rail lines, as the fares surely aren't paying the bills. Upkeep and adding more rolling stock surely are taking a hit, and will lead to safety issues sooner or later. Way too congested now (BTS / MRT), and will only get worst without more carriages being added.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:41:31 +0000Underated? Thai women Overated ? Thai food Let me explain. Homemade Thai food made from scratch is not overrated. Genuine Thai restaurants that do not cheat with cheap shortcuts are also a different story, but then the dishes are often double price or more. Cheap Thai restaurant food often is overrated. Fried in cheap oil, sometimes old oil, with too much sugar, salt, and flavor enhancers. That version is unhealthy, and in my opinion, overrated.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:41:02 +0000What's his view on Israel , Israeli atrocities, and the Jewry?Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:40:45 +0000All True. There is no civilized country in this world that Trump would be elected as leader outside of America. It says heaps about the low quality education system there. Burnham needs to be smart now and pee into Trumps pocket to get what’s in the interest of the UK!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:40:41 +0000There should be a worldwide ban on these violent fruitcakes. All beta males and ugly women who were bullied for being nerds at school.The dress in black hoping it makes them look tough with their faces covered.Think nothing of attacking innocent civilians who don’t agree with them.Hope they all get bummed regularly in jail.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:40:08 +0000
