Trump blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for allowing Russia to invade Ukraine. “He should never have let that war start. The war’s a loser,” Trump said. In September, Trump met with Zelensky and said that it was an “honor” to meet with him and that they had a “very good relationship.” Trump then added that he also has a “very good relationship” with Putin. Zelensky, meanwhile, warned that 10,000 North Korean troops are being readied to join Russian forces in their fight against Ukraine as part of “the first step to a World War.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/17/trump-zelenskyy-biden-russia-ukraine-war-blame-00184173

Khao Kheow open zoo in Chon Buri province has decided to ban visitors from carrying slingshots, after a Chinese tourist was caught in the act of using one. The image of a Chinese woman using a slingshot, as two of her fellow tourists looked on, was posted on the webpage of “Kha Moo and the Gang”, which reported that zoo officials had seen the image and were in the process of checking at what the woman was aiming, because there are not usually many animals in that area. The zoo’s chief, Narongwit Chodchoi, told Thai PBS Online today that he has asked for the image of the incident to be used as evidence in a complaint to be filed with the local police, adding that he will ask the tour company to tell its customers not to carry slingshots into the zoo. He said that tourists might not know all the rules, but their tour guides should warn their customers about what is not permitted in the zoo... https://world.thaipbs.or.th/detail/khao-kheow-open-zoo-to-ban-slingshots/55148 Coss comment: I can imagine hearing the Chinese equivalent of - "Can eat?"

Lads, Jigger, yes I made a mistake in not BCCing the email to announce a substitute board, ergo, some of you might have found out, the emails, of some of you. Jigger, I heartily apologise for the impression, that the other, now defunct board, was a rival, or in some way a competitive board. My only motive was, that as this board, looked like it was gone, that we have a place to continue the discussions. That's all it was. Stick, no one was omitted, I didn't use the board's database to find these emails, all I did look for active posters and hand copy the emails, of some 65, of which 10 or so are broken and don't work. If you were omitted, it's because when I collected the emails, sometime after the last extended outage, they were all, that were easily identified, as active in the previous few months. Again, all I wanted to do was provide a place for us to chat, as I had no knowledge of what was happening with Jigger, or the board. And with all of us reaching our end of, dates, It could have been that Jigger in the hospital for health or accident reasons. As Jigger is famously incommunicative, probably for good reasons, like being busy at work, I had no idea and didn't want Thai360 to disappear, like pfft! So - onwards... _____ However when one of the mods abuses the trust of this community, by - Guilty - 1- abusing mod privileges to harvest the personal info of the entire community in order to lure them to his rival board - I don't know about entire - some 65 - and not rival, a succession - 2- revealing that personal info by emailing all the addresses to the entire list. - again a mistake in not using the BCC - and not all or entire - It must be addressed. We thank Coss for his previous contributions. - yes and thank you - One note, Jigger, nowhere in any of this have I suggested that the now defunct, other board, was a rival or competitor, or a board for me, to take over the Thai360 mantle. Imagine the Thai360 board is a bus and we're all on it traversing the ether, then the bus breaks down, I turn up with another bus, for us to use, until the original bus is repaired or cannot be, I've gained no advantage, in providing a another bus.. These comments of yours, are almost word for word, the accusations a person has made to me, off board and elsewhere. I'm not suggesting you have used his words, it could be that great minds think alike. That other person has caused me strife in the past and no doubt will continue to do so, if he's able. I would value your clarification, that your words are yours and don't derive from the malcontent. _____ Lastly from me: We're all getting old and dying, so my contribution to this trend is: Major flat out on the floor, Stroke in 2017, Metastatic Melanoma Stage 4, through all parts of the body, resulting in 7 operations including Brain surgery, 5 courses of radiation therapy and now Keytruda, which has all got me back on track, hopefully. As a result of this there have been times, when I could not face a computer, for months. I apologise for any failings in my demeanour or behaviour. In regards to my being a mod, I've appealed in the mods section, for others to make themselves known. I would happily hand off this status. But as I seem to be the only Mod left, I've continued to do it, nuking spammers etc, for the sake of the board and in memory of my fondness for K.S. Jigger if you want to remove my mod status, I'm happy about that, but will continue if there's no alternative. So all, sorry for all of this, it was all done with the best of intentions. God knows I don't need the headaches of setting up another board and dealing with issues. _____

I think you are correct.

Hark back a couple of years, to the fun times when we were trying to point out this malarky to Cav.
