    Usual comment from an an owner of an aggressive breed. 

     

    Its not YOUR well trained dog thats the problem PJ71... You may be a great dog owner. 

     

    The problem is the other owners who fail to train their dogs and when they don’t these dogs can be aggressive and deadly (the stats prove this). 

     

    This is not the same as failing to train a cocker spaniel or golden retriever which does not have an ‘aggressive instinct’ or undergone generations of breeding to be aggressive and attack. 

     

    These dogs are dangerous unless well trained. 

     

    And when you comment.. 'Usual comments from people that have never owned these dogs'

    Well of course we haven’t opened these dogs... Its because we are not stupid..

    .... we know these dogs need lots of space, experienced ownership, dedicated time, skilled training....  IF we cannot provide this we know these types of dogs become aggressive and dangerous - thats exactly why we don’t have them. 

     

    Any person who owns these dogs in an inner city environment without the space, time and experience to train them properly is a selfcentered ayhole for creating a danger - we read of this again and again. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Exactly!  Reminds me of the line from comedian Steve Hofstetter:

    "I'm not a helicopter pilot, but if I saw a helicopter stuck in a tree, I'd say "Dude <deleted> up."

  2. I used to use Mr. Vicky near the Tessaban but he went back to India during COVID.  Now I use the tailor shop next to Everest restaurant behind the temple downtown.  They did a great custom pair of pants for me with a secret zipper pocket for my wallet and passport while traveling.

  3. I am getting quotes to ship the contents of my condo from Hua Hin to Barcelona and every one of them explicitly say something like "Following items require export permit (Fee: Baht 3,000 for up to 10 objects): -All kind of Buddhas image / religious statues / relics / reproductions / spirit house etc " 

     

    So you need to get an export permit and that itself may be easy / difficult / impossible.

    ".......later this year"! Come on, we're pushing October already. Has he watched any of Mike's videos? No way will the dual line be ready north of HH by year's end.

    Hey thanks for watching my videos!  Nice that the OP gave me credit on the image of the station. 

     

    I have to say, big progress is being made, seems a push in construction is underway.  Doesn't have to be perfect to get the train rolling on the new track and elevated section.  I'm editing the September 15 video now and will publish it in a few days.

  5. You should be OK just walking along the beach, I never had a bite in all of the time I spent there.

     

    I knew someone who did the old bury-my-boyfriend-in-the-sand and the next day he had dozens of nasty welts from the sandflies that were underneath the sand.

    The other aspect I have noticed and commented on before, watch out for items showing as Samat Prakhan! They are not! They are actually Chinese distributors and your item comesdirect  from China.

     

    If you search or are looking for "local" suppliers, watch out for that one.It is not what it seems.The other indicator is "sellers own fleet" on the delivery details.

    I have a problem with this "sellers own fleet" right now.  It still shows "Packed" status for three weeks but the seller insists it has shipped and it is a "Lazada technical problem."  It's already 11 days past the last day of the expected delivery window.  No way to track it, I wonder if/when it will show up.

    They should have enlisted the help of a geometry student to help them understand the definition of a 'cube'.

    Their 'cubes' are described as..... consists of six aluminium cubes, 30cm in height, 20cm in length ......    Better known as 'a rectangle' ????

    You've already been spanked for your misunderstanding of 'a rectangle', so I'll just give you the science.

    They are using 'Cubesats', a modular microsatellite system based on a 10x10x10cm *cube* standard called a 1U Cubesat.  If you need more space, you use additional 10x10x10 volumes making 2U, 3U sizes, etc.  These standard size payloads fit into standard slots in the mother satellite deployment system.
