Macron Warns EU Could Face Collapse Without Urgent Reforms
The Tories are ostensibly right wing but adopted a left wing policy on immigration whihc is why they lost their support base and we have the current shower of muck. Stop trying to downplay the rape of Parisian women by immigrants. I suppose you think the women in the unsolved cases were lying for attention do you? Or maybe "asking for it" by uncovering their faces? -

Or maybe it was to say thank you for not attacking Ukraine like he did under Obama and Biden. A few pretty unreliable test kits is a small price to pay for peace and avoiding Armageddon. -

Pattaya sweeps streets of homeless to ‘clean’ up its act for tourists
They should look opposite the Grand Caribbean on Thappraya Road. There is a whole homeless city being built out of cardboard and plywood. -

Concrete Truck Overturns, Crushing Car and Killing One in Chachoengsao
Too many lives have been lost in just a week. Reckless drivers are endangering the lives of innocent pedestrians and motorists alike. It is imperative for the police and the transport ministry to implement a comprehensive overhaul of the system for issuing driving licenses. -

3 Things that will make your relationship successful in Thailand
When i was a young 1950s innocent kid, my mother would always tell me, someday you will find the perfect person. It took me to one night in college with some experience under my belt to realize that the person would not be perfect, but that we would have interlocking neurosis, and in that way, she would be perfect for me... As to the OP - No No and No... I chose a woman who I like and respect. And I have no interest in trying to control her. -

Got a pigeon problem? Time to break out the LASER!!!
WARNING Lasers of the type indicated here can cause permanent eye damage. Common sense is required and no pointing at aircraft (they are not big silver birds), people or pets. Use the regular red pointers to amuse/annoy the cat. Anyway. A few weeks back Madam was moaning to the builder's merchant that pigeons roosting on our gable-end are, er, depositing on the patio roof which now has solar panels which really don't like pigeon poop. He told her to use a laser pointer! Hmm. A bit of research showed that laser bird scarers really are a thing. Apparently, the birds perceive the beam as a solid object and avoid it, no actual contact with the creatures and certainly not in their eyes, that would be unethical (even with pigeons). Green is the colour of choice for birds. Commercial units are not exactly low-cost of course so it was time to do some shopping. I ordered the most powerful, green "laser pointer" I spotted on Lazada. "3W" it says unlike your normal pointer of about 3mW!! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i265013902-s411903063.html The beast that arrived would not look out of place in the hands of Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi or Yoda!! Apparently green lightsabers are wielded by Jedi warriors. It does come with diffusers to make pretty patterns, these are still in their plastic bag Charged the supplied 18640 Li-Ion battery on the supplied charger, time to test. I checked the input power and I reckon the laser is nearer to 2W but so what! It works like a charm, the birds see the beam coming and scatter, no need to actually hit them so no smell of barbecued pigeon. Walk around the house aiming towards the beasts a couple of times and they don't come back. After a week of use at dusk when they are seeking somewhere to roost, we are now down to one or two each evening, Madam encourages them to leave (she's evidently got an evil streak). It works at long range (commercial units of similar power claim several km), aimed at the next house over (100m or so) and their pigeons scattered too.- 1
