Must Read Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
As long as you removed any superfluous "mercedes benz" stickers , that's the main thing apparently according to some on here. I don't doubt your knowledge or experience in vehicle testing, ignore the comments from the usual idiots -

Rediscovering Purpose for Retired Expats in Thailand
For many expats settling in Thailand, a vibrant new chapter unfolds after the curtains fall on long and successful careers—and sometimes, after a failed relationship. Without the compass and the urge to support a family, earn that pay cheque, build a home, and meet the many challenges faced in early years, some find themselves drifting in unfamiliar territory. A common thread binds these individuals—the desire for mental stimulation and purpose beyond the pay cheque. Would you return to work, or engage in volunteering, if you could do so without visa hassles? Imagine the opportunity to contribute your wealth of skills and knowledge to the community around you. Many expats express this longing; the idea of giving back resonates strongly, not only to remain active but also to find fulfillment. Is there truth in the old adage, "use it or lose it"? Stats suggest the average pension collecting years are just eight. Many retirees, after savouring the early days of leisure, grapple with the lack of responsibility and stimulation that a career once provided. Does this ring true for you? How did you navigate this phase? What career did you leave behind, and do you miss it? Could volunteering bridge the gap between nostalgia and new beginnings? For some, offering expertise, whether in business, education, or creative arts, becomes a rewarding pursuit. So what’s next? What did you do, or intend to do, once the bars and the bright lights lose their appeal and the "been there, done that" feeling sets in? Share your thoughts and experiences. Let’s see if we can help others who may be wrestling with this dilemma and inspire each other to explore a more fulfilling path. -

Learning Thai language with ADHD (help!)(
Thanks for your comment IsaanExpat. I am in the northern tip of Buriram province and the patois here is the Laos/Thai variety whereas in Buriram town, 90 km south, it is Kimir/Thai. I will continue and try what suggest. I just went to France for a month and spoke bad French the whole time. I have not spoken French for 10 years. It has encouraged me to try a little harder with Thai even with Executive Function problems. Are you in the US now? Thanks again for your interest.🙏🏼 -

Incredible US banking ineptness
A post that manages to get everything wrong. Amazing. I don't work in tech, it wasn't a phishing scam, and Citibank confirmed the account existed. I gave them all the info they needed to check my "claim." You really are bitter, aren't you. -

Must Read Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
No he didnt... This is a screen shot of the video showing the driver run to get a Fire extinguisher after trying and failing to open the rear doors... By then it was probably all tragically too late. There are two specific videos doing the rounds. 1) Screen shot below is from one of the videos. 2) Another video taken from the opposite side showing the driver franticly trying to get access to the bus from the other side. The driver did flee though - but only after all attempts to rescue the kids failed. He probably feared for his life.... not a correct action at all by the way, but the manner in which the 'some-media' and people on forum are spreading this misinformation is poor form. One video here (though the ack of urgency is heartbreaking - the driver already seems to know all souls have been lost). https://www.tiktok.com/@kiepertot.28/video/7421123731168251154 The bus driver 'escaping the scene' seems like a narrative everyone is keen on to direct their anger... Finally, as this thread shows, it is the owners who need to be targeted. -

What Happens If There's a Tie in the US Presidential Election?
You are right. I am not a Trudeau fan, but he won the election and he is my Prime Minister. What countries follow a system like you prefer? -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
You can get good healthcare in the PI, for very reasonable prices. Manila, of course, and Cebu City (most foreigners stay on Cebu) have very good hospitals. But even a place like Negros, where you were fųcked 10 years ago, now offers very decent care. Things are improving very fast. It helps that you can have a trusting relationship to the caregivers because they are not so obviously fleecing you as here. You are right about transport. If you live on an outlying island near Cebu, or in the sticks on Leyte - good luck. It's like Thailand 30 years ago. -

Hillary Clinton Warns of Upcoming Misinformation Targeting Kamala Harris
ai, well to just say it frankly, wanting to become a President of the USA, you must be insane or have a greater goal than yourself, or it is all about yourself. Who fits where? I believe George Bush senior and Obama were two of the most significant presidents in my lifetime. I might be wrong, but those two have made a greater impact on me than how they performed in their role as a President. Carter has given me the best impression as a human being, but not as a president. -

Must Read Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
Another with the same weird fixation. Would the course of action you are suggesting, have any effect on incidents like this ? No it would not , so give it a rest for gods sake I saw a car the other day with a sticker on it saying " my other car is a porsche" should the owner be fully investigated and prosecuted if his other car is not actually a Porsche ?- 1
