      Where to get clothing repairs, South Pattaya ?

      Thank you for the additional recommendation. The 30 baht repair didn't last long, but mainly due to the inadequate pocket lining material supplied by North Face. Those shorts were bought from a reputable shop in central London, not Patpong. Although I suspect knock offs might be better made than the North Face product. I have since bought a used sewing machine on ebay and totally replaced the nasty North Face mesh material with a solid fabric. That's the kind of difficult job I would like to get done in Thailand, but they only seem to be interested in the easy jobs. Another difficult job that I've managed myself is adding a zip to existing trousers. I'd still prefer to outsource such work, but if no one wants to tackle difficult work, I'll do it myself. Incidentally, there's also a guy doing repairs and modifications on the east side of Tuk Com, near the post office (last checked March 24). He added some velcro to pockets for me. I think it was about 50 baht.

      How to get started with a YouTube channel as a beginner

      When I first started my YouTube channel, I felt a bit lost too, but I quickly realized it’s all about keeping things simple. I didn’t dive into fancy equipment right away—I just made sure my channel looked decent, set up a Google account, and added a banner and profile that actually showed what my channel was about. What’s been helpful for me is treating each video like a learning experience and focusing on creating something useful or interesting for viewers. I’ve also noticed that organizing content pays off, just like with internal links on my website. I use crawlspider.com there to connect pages easily, and it’s been a huge time-saver. The same goes for YouTube—keeping things organized from the start makes everything easier as your channel grows.

      Thailand Eyes Tax Revamp to Support Ageing Population’s Needs

      Agree on that all. I don't think they're anywhere near their target to get 1 million LTR visas by 2032, doubt they even have 1% of that target yet. If anything I could see them making LTR less strict.

      Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in children and adolescents

      You would be surprised - and shocked - when you did some actual research in the history of all these 'successful' vaccines. Vaccines are the poisoned golden eggs of the Big Pharma Goose. that are making billions on that business line, and with indeminity when things go awry! In the last 2 years Big Pharma spend 2 billion (yes billion) US $ to promote the so-called need for their covid-vaccines, and the medical establishment, universities, media and politicians have a vested interest in keeping the illusion of the need for vaccines alive...

      Elderly Woman Dies After Electricity Cut Despite Pleas for Aid

      I guess that device was his backup power. Would he normally run off 220v do you think? Perhaps he needed a backup for his backup supply.

      Trump will go after his perceived enemies

      I'll make it simple for you. They both tried to cling to power indefinitely. Putin was successful but Trump even after fomenting a riot at the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power was unsuccessful. And they are both both wanna-be dictators. Again Putin was successful but Trump failed. No wonder Trump loves Putin. He's so much more successful than he is.

      Student Bus Crashes into Pig Truck, 31 Injured in Nakhon Pathom

      The windows appear to show it's an old style bus no air-con. Wonder when it was last inspected and how thorough the inspection was? And is there a standard structured inspection regime for the various types of buses?

      Thai singer Tik Shiro charged with drink driving after fatal crash - video

      Police charged Thai singer Sirisak “Tik” Nantasane, also known as Tik Shiro, with drink driving after he crashed his van into a motorcycle, resulting in one fatality on October 10. The victim, 28 year old Thai woman Thianporn “Meji” Siwapornpithak, lost her life, while her brother, Jakkaphat “Junior” Siwapornpithak, was seriously injured after the well-known singer Tik collided with their motorcycle on the Sukhapiban 5 Bridge at around 4am on October 10. Meji, Junior, and another sibling, 24 year old Jinnipha Siwapornpithak, were travelling together on the motorcycle and stopped on the bridge to pick up a water bottle. Jinnipha went to retrieve the bottle while Meji and Junior remained on the motorcycle, which meant that Jinnipha escaped the accident unharmed. Tik was seen apologising to the siblings’ parents following the incident. He was also admitted to hospital for a chest injury. Many people defended Tik, arguing that the siblings should not stop on the dark bridge just to retrieve a water bottle. Others, however, pointed out that Tik may have been driving at an excessive speed, causing him to miss the motorcycle. Police did not perform a breathalyser test at the scene, which led to public criticism. However, the police assured that the hospital conducted a blood alcohol test. Today, on October 15, police released the results of the alcohol test, confirming that Tik had an alcohol level in his system exceeding the legal limit. Tik was temporarily released without bail, as he was not deemed a flight risk. In conclusion, Tik faces two charges including: Section 291 of the Criminal Code: committing a reckless act leading to the death of another person. The penalty is imprisonment of up to 10 years and a fine of up to 200,000 baht. Section 43(2) of the Land Transport Act: driving under the influence of alcohol. The penalty is up to one year’s imprisonment, a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 baht, or both. Tik and his wife also visited the Phra Si Mahathat Wora Maha Viharn Temple yesterday, October 14, to attend Meji’s cremation. Kannayao Police Station informed ThaiRath that they will summon both parties to the police station again to reach a compensation agreement.

The UK government is now a minority, unable to pass a single bill.

Typical the result of an in fact two-party system: the "others" are always the mortal enemy, from which NEVER can come any good suggestion.

The Uk Government does indeed have a coalition of two parties, which makes up the majority 

 

Is there no longer that coalition ?

I need to watch the news more often 

yes, but no majority. I know reading is not the strongest site of many English.  Better watch the news more often !

Why , as an Englishman , would he willfully destroy his own country ?

 

What agenda could he have that he would need to do this ?

He is an Etonian. He doesn't take anything seriously. He wants to have fun. He wants to escape from boredom. He is the centre of the universe. He is sooooooooo hiso.

Capiche?

It is time to move on!

He's said he would prefer to die in a ditch.  That's more than any of us could reasonably ask of him, but I am sure we will all be grateful if for once he fulfilled his promise.

 

He's killed Brexit.  Now it seems he'd prefer to move on to greener pastures, and who could begrudge him a place in some hallowed kingdom ?

Use your brain I would suggest :

in what position of strength you would be after BREXIT? A small country between the blocks: EU, US, China ...... Who wants to listen to such a nutshell compared to the blocks? 

Same as Thailand would start giving guide lines how trade deals have to be in future. Who do you think would follow? Nobody. 

UK will be always an appendix following the EU, maybe not voluntarily ????

When the UK is out of the EU we can make the EU an appendix. Voluntarily or not.  

 

Blocks? Good name for a band.

Because he is not a traitorous one like so many others in Parliament, many of whom are not English.
His agenda is to save the country and deliver us from the clutches of the EU. All as decided by the country’s referendum.
Not English...I guess you haven't checked all the names in Boris's cabinet.

Perhaps , but it seems there are a lot of non native English speakers here with a weak grasp of the English language.
 
Even if he only cares for himself , it does not follow that he is sitting up in bed of a night with a mug of coco and a lap top trying to devise ways and means by which he can do the worst possible things to ensure his country suffers to the utmost.
 
The use of such hyperbole as ' willfully destroying ' or ' surrender bill ' is doing as much damage to the country as the politicians who were elected to serve it.

But they will speak at least one more language to express themselves than a number of monolingual Brexiteers with more limited educations no doubt.
