The arab French had the limelight for a long time. While the french French, Italians, Germans, Spaniards, etc are good boys.

 

Israelis camouflage under the latter nationalities.

Worry not, the end of a certain (must not be named directly) religious period is drawing to an end! That, almost, ensures said peoples shall once again throw disregard to culture, rule of law and decency to once again claim that top spot

Clearly bought way out. Much like the Russian lady lawyer kill 2 on bike. Parents of the Lux lady cant get any info from police. Complete silence.

Was this the one a few years ago ?

So after the furor of this heinous act, its all gone quiet - suspiciously so......... smart money says he goes no where

I am still not convinced, yet I am also not convinced we can ever have enough power & recourses to have electric cars....... 

As a side note anyone with general mechanical recommendations ? I based Patong - Bangtao area

I merely referred to the fact, that not everybody globally -- or even in this thread -- knows what a 'poppy' is, which was countered, that this is a common custom to honor dead soldiers. While in fact this seems to be a custom quite limited to the UK and the (white?) remnants of their empire.

 

Why of all flowers a poppy was chosen is quite unclear to me; a reference to the Opium wars of Britain against China, maybe?

 

So next time, prefacing some exotic custom with an explanation, would be a lot more helpful. People would like to understand.

 

Of course, I think it important to commemorate the horrors of war -- not just the soldiers, but also with especially much thought given to the civilian victims of imperialist politics.

Given that the second and third commentors gave the requisite answer, it was obviously NOT so exotic nor was any preface needed. The fact that the Germans do not mark this occasion, is hardly revelatory nor expected given the very well known outcome. 

The poppy is a visual reminder that we remember the fallen members of the armed forces on remembrance day.

Yet you seem to wish to make this about white imperialists - horrors have been committed for centuries, this is without dispute. The poppy (for me) is to say you are not forgotten and thank you, with the hopes that a few quid goes to the legion for these old lads and lasses. Put the soap box away!

I’m in Bristol UK , already had some guy In Palestinian garb sat on the cenotaph here playing Islamic prayer on a loud speaker . Considering how many deluded students doing degrees in useless subjects live centrally ,I’m pretty sure it’s a matter of time before this one is vandalised .  

The ironic part is that those young men & women gave their lives so that this F@@K W!T can do as such!

Sadly poppy wearers are now being criticized incase they 'offend' a certain religion in our country. 

Two poppy wearers proudly wear their poppies and were verbally abused and the unruly mob tried to prevent them from catching their tube, didn't end well for one gob of the hate mob.

i think it is more of a commonwealth thing... if memory serves me right the americans [i am canadian] dont really follow this tradition. 

 

"Can I wear a poppy in the US?

In the United States, Americans don't typically wear poppies on November 11 (Veterans Day), which honors all living veterans. Instead, they wear the symbolic red flower on Memorial Day—the last Monday in May—to commemorate the sacrifice of so many men and women who have given their lives fighting for their country."

Sadly it is not as widely practiced as I believe it should be.

In Udon Thani, they are available at Big C on Nittayo Road at the flyover.

 

Maybe they are doing this nationally?

nope - 

Who has them this year?

As stated, if anyone knows a garage that will replace the compressor & re-fill the tank - I am looking for a location in Patong & Kathu.

I have ordered the part already
