  1. Carabao means buffalo in Filipino language, I believe. Aed studied there, perhaps they all met there?
  2. Love this song Banned from the radio back in 1992, if I remember right, because the lyrics demand the PM must come from an election ( hello General Suchinda), they subtly changed the Thai wording of PM , Nai Yok นาย ยก to Nai Kor นายกอ by removing the second ย Everyone knew the fictitious word, Nai Kor, meant the PM
  3. How can someone comment with the laughter symbol to this story?
  4. In Thailand rich people sue without ever appearing in court. All done through their lawyer. Thaksin did it all the time, both when he was in power and when he was on the run. It's been said already both in the Thai media and BP that the photo in the OP is from Thaksin's daughter's social media account two years ago. Plus the headline is incorrect- a former Democrat MP
  5. My brother's mother-law's brother died whilst building Death Railway at Kanchanaburi during WW2. She asked me to photo his plaque and send it to her. It breaks your heart walking around war cemeteries. So many were so young. Here's an amazing story from WW2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_D._Harris
  6. Because he knows so many secrets.
  7. Gloomy is not the right word. Barbaric is
  8. Jeez, what an idiot. Not sure you can wave away that sort of comment apart from admitting she is young and stupid.
  9. Defying Thaksin to throw him out of the party, Chalerm told Thaksin to think about the 8 cases he cleared for him.
  10. Doctors must monitor Thaksin's blood pressure constantly over the next few days. His old buddy, Chalerm, plus his son,have announced they're cutting ties with Thaksin after a conversation was leaked where Thaksin complained that the duo were nothing but trouble! Happy days are over,lol
  11. I saw Roxy in 72 at a festival in Lincolnshire. They really were something special. A shame Eno and Ferry couldn't get along.
  12. Tippers, don't worry about a clock. So long as the music gets the feet tapping and the heart singing, it's impossible to get 'old'. Look at Mick, a face of a thousand crevasses but still dancing. Reminds me of one of the greats. 2 strokes, 11 minor strokes but still singing, fragile yet strong!
  13. It took BJ 14 years to rise from the rank of Superintendent to Deputy Police Chief, whilst it only took Torsak 6 years! It's who you know, not what you know.
  14. Very sad. The behaviour of Chaiwat, from the burning down of the Karen's houses to the disappearance and almost certain murder of Billy, is an atrocity and an affront to any notion of justice.
  15. His wife is the daughter of a rich businessman in Songkhla. BJ and her were sweethearts since high school. Now his wife is urging him to leave the police force. A bit late for that.
