PM Faces Pressure Over Thaksin's Alleged Hospital Fake-Out
To become an electrician, plumber, carpenter or mechanic following the traditional route one would expect to serve an apprenticeship of around 4 years including studying at a technical college maybe one day per week to obtain a formal recognised qualification. Yet it appears anybody with no experience whatsoever can simply slip into the position of prime minister . easy as that. Its not just in Thailand either, we are currently no better off in the UK and have not been so for as long as I can remember. Currently we have a lawyer sat in the hot seat , before him it was some sort of an investment banker. I don't really want to look any further back in time. What is it that makes these people feel qualified to fill such a position? or indeed makes those that put them there feel the same way? I know she's " square faces" sister and he's pulling the strings and making all the decisions etc but it just seems a bit weird to me that totally unqualified people with little to no experience are not only allowed to hold such positions but that they appear to be accepted and taken seriously on the world stage by other politicians many of whom have been at it for years. Personally I wouldn't trust any of them to be capable of completing the most mundane of tasks even making a decent cup of tea. No wonder the world is in such a mess On the other hand I might just have a go myself, can't see that I, or anybody else for that matter would mess up any worse than the current lot -

I Love Donald Trump
Trump can be all that in your eyes, but he will fail in everything/almost everything. In 2016 he promised to solve the Middle-East problems: he failed (he made it worse, by recognizing Jerusalem as capital). He promised to open coal mines, he failed. His China trade war, costed 300,000 jobs and 128 billion. He is just a narcissist braggart! He said he will leave Nato. He won't. But he want got give Ukraine to Russia: because Russia got compromising sex videos of Trump. So, the no 1 enemy of USA got Trump in his pocket: Donald Trump's 'prostitute scandal' was filmed by cameras and recorded with microphones hidden behind the walls - World News - Mirror Online He promised to lower the US debt: he failed already before Covid started -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
You are right about this, I have one of these memberships and know that 30% discount is more like 20%, but this is a bit beyond the scope of this thread. -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
It has nothing to do with being able to afford to eat. I perfectly well can. You may not have understood that my issue is about informing customers what they may expect. -

Any advantages to retirement over marriage visa?
That's incorrect. -

BBC Admits Past Lapses in Addressing Celebrity Misconduct
Pay for one. Receive the other. Classic bait and switch. You end up with Paedo Huw interpreting the news for you every day. Each to their own though. It's not my thing. -

Stealing a Federal Election
It's impossible to fraudulently submit mass numbers of mail in ballots, such as "pre printed ballots". Anyone who believes in fake mail in ballots doesn't understand elections. -

PM Paetongtarn Faces Threat with Impeachment Over Cabinet Pick
Sounds like the clock to expulsion may have already started. What's the average longevity of a PM once that happens? 60 days? -

Homeless Woman Using Illegal Drugs Openly on Pattaya Street Raises Concerns Over City Image
Soi Hong Nan as it is referred to by many, is a toilet and you see people cooking over top of a grey water drain and vent with the vent directly under the food being prepared. It should be closed. But I have to ask, why does anybody care about the image of one of the largest “reasonably safe” brothels in the world? I have been here since 1997 and I came for exactly that reason alone - not for cheap food or warm sunshine. Vancouver is and was too expensive for girls. -

The Urgent Need for Starmer to Keep His Promise on Iran's Revolutionary Guard
Not surprising at all as none of them ever do what they promise, what is surprising is that the "public" keep falling for their lies time after time swinging back and forth between two almost indistinguishable "parties" with 99 percent the exact same agenda/policies all of which are of no benefit to the average person..its a totally broken system..well except for those that get free football tickets,clothes,spectacles and multi other freebies from political donors what a sick sick state of affairs. -

Mark Robinson GOP Nominee for Governor Disturbing Comments on Porn Site
No surprise to see him targeted. Liberals hate black people who do not behave/vote as they expect/demand. "How dare you not vote for us after all we've done for you". Or as Biden said, if you vote Trump you ain't black. Disgraceful slurs on Mr Robinson. -

Cheap decent red wine
Waiting for the tariffs to be pulled. Thailand will never be a place to get really good wine at fair prices but if they lose the tariffs we will be able to get a lot of drinkable juice from Australia, South America and California. Probably Italy and Spain too. The shippers will need to be big enough to offer full containers at first. It will take a few years to sort the French stuff because they will be dumping the plonk on the rubes. I saw this first hand in Mexico and China. Some great bargains though like Chateau LaFite gran Cru du Bordeaux for 800 baht a bottle. Never had the guts to pull the trigger. 😬 Hopefully it will motivate the locals but they are growing the wrong grapes. There are a few drinkable wines made locally but they are sheltered by crazy tariffs and the quality is not there yet. They need to take a page from Banyon Tree in India, where they recruited a bunch of students from the wine university in Barcelona and let them make the wine. It worked, the best wine in India.
