That's a cup AND saucer! Why do you have to leave the saucer out? Are you sauceraphobic? Did you used to be a saucer? Did a saucer abuse you once? Why do you have it in for all saucers?

Why do you claim that it's half empty? Please read in a Scouse accent.

Not sure why this is NEWS, because in any civilised country it would be expected. "demonstrated a shining example of accountability within the police force." ????????????????????????????

Goodness me, this has escalated somewhat, hasn't it? Can people not just agree to disagree? No one is happy that this poor innocent lady has been murdered in cold blood.

But road users - shouldn't drive drunk - shouldn't drive over the speed limit - shouldn't drive the wrong way - should wear seat belts and crash helmets - should drive with a valid licence None of these seem to be adhered to, so why would anyone put a kid in a seat? And how about toddlers and babies on motorbikes?

Could you make this up...? "online criminality linked to foreigners in Thailand which was damaging the image of the kingdom and which posed a nuisance to the public."

What does unervingly mean?

ANYthing from Simply Ginger, especially the Stars album. The only reason I haven't had killed 'taken care of' is because then the radio stations would play his 'hits' for a week or more afterwards!

Proof read the first line. 'in in' Don't shoot the messenger, btw.

I agree, but only in certain countries and Thailand's not one of them, in my opinion.

Holding a can of beer is much much worse than trafficking heroin, or wearing very expensive watches with a dubious background.

Sorry but if the OP wants to put a 15 year old child on any motorcycle here, then it's game over! Thai roads are too dangerous, especially for a child to drive a motor vehicle. I've had and ridden bikes for over 40 years, and I ride a scooter in outer BKK. Would I let either of my kids loose on one? NEVER!

Not wanting another 'holiday' I'm happy that others got there before me.

Cue all the negative dog haters to say that they will spread rabies, attack innocent people, poo in the street and eat the food destined for more-worthy creatures. Good on this lady and good luck for the pups!

His motorcycle veered into the opposite lane = he rode on the wrong side of the road, against oncoming traffic. Or am I misreading something?

If there's a feature on this forum where we don't even see new topics posted by members we choose to ignore, then please show me. He's on about three new topics just today. The trouble is there are so many sad Muppets fuelling all this.

Could it be anything to do with - there being a load of recent long holidays - it could rain hard at any time - people are unsure of the country's situation going forward

While I don't condone fake or real 'officials' trying to scam or overcharge people, littering needs to be stamped out! Smokers are among the worst for littering, because no one wants to carry around a dirty fag butt. If you have any non-biodegradable rubbish or a fag butt, find the correct place to dispose of it and then you won't have a problem!

The OP is a bit vague. Do you mean you have a new passport and you're moving your visa over from the old one? My new UK passport is on its way back to me and I would like to know the answer to your question, if it's what I think it is.

Welcome to the Thai education and welfare system. I'm surprised the school haven't sued this awful parent for bringing this to public attention and damaging its (and the head's) wonderful reputation! ????????????

There are two sides to every story. - Possibly drunk Brits abroad entering a bar soon before it's due to close. - Asked to leave. - Gave some lip and a slap to Thai bouncers. - Thai bouncers overreact, because #1 they love to do stuff like this, especially when feeling safe in the numbers #2 they're not 'trained' as Bob might hope they would be... this is Thailand and they don't get paid much, so who would pay for any 'training'? The rule is, do not ever challenge Thai men in cases like this, ESPECIALLY if they're in uniform, at work, and you may have had a few drinks. Just never do it, because you can't win. A real man should have brains as well as muscles.

Hang on... the original article says Grade 5 อยู่ชั้น ม. 5

Forgive me. I stand corrected. I was thinking P5.

Nice one Tim. Happy anniversary. Your efforts are appreciated.

Not sure if BigNok and BobSmith are the same person or not, but the recent behaviour appears so. I gave myself a 10-month holiday from this website forum until very recently and it looks like I should try again. ????????
