The Olympics' Leaves Me Cold = No Interest In It At All
The Olympic opening ceremony in Paris, unsurprisingly, was a platform for blasphemy, decadence and LGBT propaganda. What a truly disgusting sight… IMG_8679.MP4 -

The thing that got me banned, was a joke to mod 'stats'. I told him he would be off my Xmas e-card list if he didn't instate my my post. Which was; ''I think giving toddlers the mRNA jab is child abuse.'' I went on too say that surely one could have an opinion, on a contentious issue, even if it was not mainstream. space It's all history now. space Went into Ban Dung this morning. Checked on the price of eucalyptuses. 1050 baht a tonne. That's delivered to the wholesaler just outside the town. Main factory in Khon Kaen pays 1350. space Have a bit of sorting out to do. Then the cutting will commence. space- 2

Regarding the farm - there is something that has been annoying me for a while - pigeons in Thailand. I see they are doing things about that African fish - but pigeons are far worse of a problem. As I explained to the missus - we bred them to grow big quickly and to breed like flies - they were our 'postal system' for a long time - and they live in our houses, because we bred them to do that. But we kept them outside in pigeon coups, because they are bad for diseases from their droppings in the air. They did not breed in winter in Europe where we bred them, but here in Thailand they breed all year - once pair can make another 12-20 birds in one year. But pigeons can breed at 6 months - so after one year that one pair can make up to 20-30 birds. Without any serious predator here - even cats have trouble with pigeons due to their size - they will take over an area within 2-3 years. If left unchecked in Thailand, they will take over village by village, and they will drive out all other competing local birds - they are bigger, stronger and breed way faster than any local breed. Good for the hawks and the few eagles here, but no other bird breed here can survive against them. Plus they will cause a lot of breathing problems in children - they are very adept at living in the roofs of people's houses - unlike the local birds who may make a nest in a box/cage, but they are essentially all 'tree birds'. Pigeons do not sleep in trees - they sleep in houses/factories - in our buildings. I have been nearly everywhere in Thailand and they are more and more prevalent everywhere I go. The wife's family lives in Yasothon (actually just over the river in Roi Et) and we stay in the city. This has been done by us (except for the Covid years) 2-3 times a year, ever since 2014. Every trip there since Covid has shown more and more of them. At first (years before Covid) it was a few and when I warned the missus about them, she thought I was being 'over-worried'. But on our last 2 trips she is now seeing the problem - they are everywhere and there are many more than the last time, and then many more again. Thai Govts in the Provinces need to do 2 things IMO. 1. Declare pigeons an obnoxious breed of animal and start to kill and remove them. 2. Teach Thais how to catch and kill and cook them (frying or boiling is best).- 1

I've only been back in country since Nov last year. Didn't realise that TV had gone or more correctly merged/made into AN. I signed up and at the beginning it seemed ok. A few months went by and then I noticed little changes. Sure there were the typical annoying posters bitching about anything and everything. Old aged guys having pissing contests and the like. But the controlling aspect was a bit over the top. TT seems a bit more easy going without some of the weirdos- 1

Ditto - AN has again become tyrannical - ever since George sold out to the Thaiger (made a killing again I reckon). George came back and sacked a few Mods and then said he wanted it open and free - no more lefty PC controls. It was great for a while - but now it is getting back to the bad days - and I am sure when election time comes around in November, they will be fully back in h**ler woke PC mode.- 1
