In a compassionate gesture, Panpri Phahitthanukon, Thailand’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, acted as a representative of his nation on November 3, in donating 3 million baht (US$84,451) to the United Nations (UN) to provide aid to Palestine refugees. This generous contribution is aimed at offering support during a tumultuous time in the Gaza Strip and expresses Thailand’s condolences for those who have lost their lives while on duty. The donation’s primary objective is to alleviate the hardships faced by the citizens of Gaza, who are grappling with severe shortages of essential provisions, including food, medical supplies, energy sources, and shelter, amidst the ongoing conflict in the region... https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-foreign-minister-donates-3-million-baht-to-un-for-palestine-refugees That'll solve the problem, and enough left over for some Som Tam and a beer...

An American man and a Luxembourgian woman died on the spot in a road accident in Phuket Province, while the female Russian driver was injured. The incident happened near the Friendship Beach Resort entrance on Wiset Road, on the way to Rawai Beach. Phuket Police officers from Chalong Police Station were notified at 1:00 a.m., and they then contacted a forensic doctor from Vachira Phuket Hospital, as well as staff from the Rawai Municipal Rescue Unit and the Phuket Foundation, to assist with the scene examination.

Heart warming and eyebrow raising at the same time. Cow Bells on Cows - At least two families complained formally to the village council, asking for the bells to be removed at night. Howls of protest ensued. Long-term residents, and the village's remaining farmers - just five or six according to village mayor Niklaus Lundsgaard-Hansen - were outraged at what they felt was an attack on their traditional culture. The farmer who owned the herd in question viewed it as a "personal insult to him and his cows", said the mayor.

One can only hope that the silent majority remember to vote in 2024. But then that's what I said last time.

I saw a brief video clip of Trump and the wife (remember her?) walking through the Mar a Lago club, themed for Halloween. Red lighting. A few cheers and yee-has heard. Trump in full, point, wink and wave, mode. The only problem, all the tables were empty, there were only about 6 people to point, wink and wave to. He didn't linger. Also Trump is approx 10 times as wide as his waif, wife. further should anyone assemble a further 6 people and want to go to Mar a Lago, there's this:

Same thing, in Siem Reap, they had pigeon holes for the pistols and !grenades! and umbrella stands for the long arms. Lots of military in there. When a, "do you know who my father is?" started up on the other side of the room, I grabbed the nearest lady and left.

Haven't got diabetes either, them vaccinations must be a cure-all.

Donald Trump and three of his children will soon take the stand in a New York business fraud case. The New York Attorney General's Office said the former president will testify on 6 November and his three children will take the stand before him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67243100.amp The below is attributed to Donald Trump excepting where noted: "I don’t know them." "I don’t know him, no, I really don’t know her,” "Now it’s possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody." I don't know Donald Jr. at all,” Trump said, “I never heard of him at all". I don’t know him. I saw him sitting, in one picture, at a table with me. That’s the — that’s the only thing I know about him.” "Eric is a highly unstable “nut job” ". "I have no relationship to — with him. I have no relationship with him."" "No, just so you understand, he said very nice things about me, but I have no relationship with him. I don’t — I’ve never met him."" "I have no relationship with Ivanka. I don’t think I’ve ever met her. I never met her. I don’t think I’ve ever met her."" Interviewer: "...you did say on three different occasions you had a relationship with Ivanka. Now you say there is not."" TRUMP: "Well, I don’t know what it means by having a relationship. I mean she was saying very good things about me, but I don’t have a relationship with her. I didn’t meet her. I haven’t spent time with her." "I don't know who the children are. I mean, you'll you have to give me a definition because I really don't know who they are. I can only say they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work," "I've always denounced - any form, any form, any form of any of children -- you have to denounce." "I don't have any". "I have no classified documents." Interviewer: "how many terminations have you funded? have you paid for any abortions?" "Well, I don’t know what it means, I dont have any". Satire.

Nope, 54 is quite young for death, most go later. A bucket of pills, followed by a swim, may be, a younger person's game.

I see that Donna was admonished again (1st fine $5K, this fine $10k) for having a go at the Judge's clerk. I am taking some warm and fuzzy pleasure, in seeing, not just the beginning of Donna's downfall, but his/her/the orange's, slide into madness.

He also apparently is anti abortion. He mentioned that his mum bore him, when she was 17, and that he has a very large family. All born 9 months and 10 minutes apart, I shouldn't wonder...

Of note: The new Speaker of the house in the USA is a god botherer, named Mike Johnson (R-LA) who has used his opening speech, for proselytising. At least he's not paying off hookers...

Comments, please - or commentary? Not sure if MLG would like it in green.... exerciser-for-women

So sad - RIP Roger

I'm perturbed : Comment: see nice tropical beach, see Crocodile, Kill Crocodile, hug and revere, endless plastic waste, on what should be a pristine beach. Read the article for context. https://coconuts.co/singapore/news/the-crocodile-conundrum-a-call-for-compassion-and-understanding-in-singapores-wildlife-landscape/?utm_source=Coconuts+Media+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=8dccb51ffb-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_03_10_01_05_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c10d7999ee-f9db5db4e8-[LIST_EMAIL_ID]&mc_cid=8dccb51ffb&mc_eid=503e28128a

MPIH, I'm not slagging the problems and tragedies occurring in the Middle East. I'm dissing the article and it's language - the Nation often does a poor job of English and this combined with a Thai politician's tendency, to put a shine on any piece of shit, means we get articles, that are - as I say - too dumb to let pass unmolested. So for clarity, I'm being rude about the writing, and the Politician's craft, not the facts.

Funnier than a funny thing... Former President Donald Trump posted a video on Truth Social over the weekend criticizing Senator Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and others in the GOP he denounced as “RINOs,” claiming that "Republicans eat their young."

Note: my apologies for diminishing the tragedies, that are occurring in the Middle East for Thais and everyone else, this article was too stupid to pass uncommented. JMHO. The UN secretary-general has expressed his condolences over the loss of Thai lives in Israel, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on Wednesday, as the Israeli government confirmed the death of another Thai, raising fatalities to 30. (Coss Comment: Someone important say nice thing about Thai ) The Israeli government confirmed the death to the Thai embassy in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, although it was not clear when the latest victim had died. (Coss Comment: which day is very important.) The number of injured remained unchanged at 16 while 18 are presumed to have been taken hostage by Hamas. Srettha was speaking to reporters in Beijing on Wednesday morning. He met UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the sidelines of the 3rd Belt and Road Initiative forum. Srettha said he had told the UN chief that despite Thailand not being a party to the conflicts over Palestine, it had suffered the second highest death toll after the US. (Coss Comment: Thailand has the goal of becoming the hub for death tolls and will soon lead the world. TAT predicts 200 million by 2027) Srettha said the UN secretary-general was shocked by the loss of Thai lives and expressed his condolences. (Coss Comment: Shocked by the overall tragedy of the war more likely, not singling out Thai deaths) Srettha said the UN chief told him that he would travel to Egypt and visit the area near the Gaza Strip to pressure for an end to the war as soon as possible. On the repatriation of Thai workers from Israel, Srettha said the government could repatriate about 400 Thais per day and would soon be able to increase the capacity to 600 a day. (Coss Comment: soon...) The prime minister added that the Thai government was not complacent about the safety of the remaining Thai workers in Israel. (Coss Comment: haven't we got a Lèse-majesté law for this? who said complacent? Have him arrested) He said Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara was in the process of seeking permission for the use of ports of Middle East nations to repatriate Thais by sea. Srettha said the US has repatriated its 1,500 to 2,000 citizens by boat to Cyprus but the Israeli ports have been closed. (Coss Comment: someone else is doing a much better job but as you can see it's not our fault the ports have been closed...) The prime minister added that many Thais were still unable to leave the risky zones in Israel and dozens of Thais could not reach the airport in time for their flights although they had registered with the Thai embassy for repatriation. (Coss Comment: it's really hard...) He said the Supreme Commander of the Thai Armed Forces had been trying to coordinate with the Israel Defence Forces, seeking help to evacuate Thais from risky zones as soon as possible. (Coss Comment: Supreme, Ultimate, Highest, Top, Principal, Supereminent, Bigger and Higher than any one else... asking for help...) Srrettha also urged the remaining Thais to decide as soon as possible whether they want to continue working in Israel at their own risk or return to Thailand. (Coss Comment: Stay if you want...) “The risk is on you. The government has a duty to repatriate people fast and safe after you make a decision to return home,” Srettha said. (Coss Comment: Up to you...) https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40032008
