Punstoppable
A list of puns related to "Blues and Royals"
The Theft
In 1989, Kriangkrai Techamong, a Thai servant for the House of Saud, stole jewellery and other valuable gems from the bedroom of Prince Faisal bin Fahd. Kriangkrai hid the stolen jewellery, which included a valuable blue diamond and other gems, in a vacuum cleaner bag and then shipped it to his home in Lampang Province, Thailand.
Recovery
A Royal Thai Police investigation by a team headed by Lieutenant-General Chalor Kerdthes led to Kriangkrai's arrest and the recovery of most of the stolen jewellery. Kriangkai was sentenced to seven years in prison, but he was released after three years as he cooperated with the police and had confessed. Chalor's team then flew to Saudi Arabia to return the stolen items. However, the Saudi authorities discovered that the blue diamond was still missing and that about half of the gems returned were fake.
In Bangkok, rumours spread in the local press that charity gala photos captured a number of wives of government officials wearing diamond necklaces resembling those stolen from the palace. The Saudis suspected that Thai police and officials had taken the jewels for themselves.
Investigation
Mohammad al-Ruwaili, a Saudi businessman close to the royal family, travelled to Bangkok to conduct his own investigation. He went missing on 12 February 1990 and is presumed to have been murdered. Prior to his disappearance, on 4 January 1989, a Saudi diplomat was murdered in Si Lom, Bang Rak District, Bangkok. On 1 February 1990, three more Saudi diplomats were murdered in Thung Mahamek in Bangkok's Yan Nawa District. The murders remain unsolved, and no connection to the jewellery theft has been established.
Lieutenant-General Chalor was later charged and convicted of ordering the 1995 murder of the wife and son of a gem dealer allegedly involved in the affair, and he was sentenced to death. The Thai Supreme Court upheld the judgement and sentenced Chalor to death on 16 October 2009. However, Chalor's sentence was reduced to fifty years imprisonment by King Bhumibol Adulyadej on the King's 84th birthday. Six other policemen were also convicted of involvement in the murders. One of those involved, Police Lieutenant-Colonel Pansak Mongkolsilp, was sentenced in 2002 to life in prison. The term was upheld on appeal in 2005, but he was released in 2012.
Diplomatic and economic repercussions
Relations between the two countries worsened further following the murders. Saudi Arabia stopped issuing work visas f
... keep reading on reddit ➡My personal experience with standart Royal blues is that they get laid down really vibrant and loses the color and contrast within 24 hours. I only tested it with pelikan 4001 Royal blue, Lamy blue, Parker quink washable blue, and a few random royal blue cartridges. Every one of them faded/became paler within 24 hours of writing, the worst so far is Lamy blue, comes out a Dark blurple and dries to a really light pale blue(even in comparison with tsuyu-kusa, which is a really light blue).
Is there a Royal blue that keeps it's color? Does other brands also do that (waterman, j. Herbin Eclat de Saphir...)?
Hey all,
Have some Jordan's that unfortunately are too small for me. First time i've had issues with size. Hence my first sale.
First pairs of Jordans I've purchased which i'm a little bummed about. US14 is hard to come by.
Anyway.
These were purchased from Weidian. They are a budget batch and I've worn them once out of the house. I got a lot of complements. Box was thrown out before shipping
Purchased from 158sir. Never worn outside, only tried on. Box was destroyed during shipping.
Price:
Jordan 1: SOLD
Jordan 3: $50 + $10 shipping in Aus
Any questions please ask. Happy to supply more pics if need be.
Cheers
I used 3 cartridge brands of Royal blue Ink and, while they look gourgeous when writing, after some time they become pale and bland. Why is that?
I just finished and LOVED Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston and now I don’t know what to read next. Contemporary romantic comedies have never really interested me but I loved this and wondered if anyone knew of something similar and hopefully just as fun and sweet. It doesn’t have to be male/male. I’m open to anything.
Let me hear your other offers as well.
Price includes shipped CONUS (pm for international).
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monochrome BBJ (light blue) SA Dasher/Dancer (TKL, Specialty, Spacebars, OSMods, Assorted) | This set took a long time and a lot of hassle to compile. Hoping someone can enjoy it after me! | |
| Hako Royal True switches (x80) | Never soldered. 47 of them were mounted on a small hot swap build to test them out, but other than that, no use | |
| Grey High Profile Aluminum Case for Tada68, 2 Custom 1.5mm thick Shiny Brass Plates from Laserboost (fit tada pcb and JC65 **** see notes**) | High profile case was lightly used, no issues at all. The two brass plates are slightly off on the positioning of the switch holes, due to an incorrect drawing. These plates will require a bit of sanding to get all the switches to fit (probably 50% of the switches), but they will work fine with a bit of diy. |
