He has no money left. Not worth the hassle.

Googling "james wattana net worth" gives results suggesting he is worth somewhere between $2.7 and $5m.

He was only the eighth snooker player to earn £1m, although that was ages ago.

Smoking too much can have the same affect as a Labotomy

 

Is a labotomy the removal of a scientific room?

Why is there this weird perception that it has to either banned completely or totally unregulated?

There is something called a compromise where the outcome would be somewhere between the two extremes. There are plenty of countries where decriminalisation has been hugely successful and none that I can find that has not been, at least, beneficial.

You could probably do that now on Youtube, why wait?

Even Youtube cannot show a video of an event that is yet to happen.

A proper reporter would have asked, but asking questions is not encouraged in Thailand, is it. A bit of a handicap for a reporter.

The reporter, Mr Chat Geepeetee, is highly regarded by himself.

And that's exactly my point,  if run correctly it helps initially to keep the young of the streets and getting into trouble,  teaches them to grow up with responsibilities and become good citizens of their community.

Can you name ANY country where this has worked?

Thanks for not reacting to the content but only to semantics.

Its more than that. If he had been convicted, he would have been disqualified from standing for President.

He is guilty because a jury of his peers, who have seen the evidence, said so.

Why do you keep on claiming he shouldn't have been convicted without having seen the evidence?

He wasn't convicted. That would involve a criminal case and this was a civil action.

He was found guilty of sexual abuse.

Thankfully, she missed all the gold ingots and the diamond encrusted crown...

'Sent to work abroad'

Which doesn't sound at all like trafficking.

Does Pita live up to his acronym?

As I say a 500% increase of 1 is 5. It may be the new sub-variant XBB.1.16 circulating and if it is it's normal to see an increase. It's said to be more immune escape because of two new spike protiens. It will settle down until the next sub-variant comes along to knock this one off it's perch and take over. All up the numbers are low and it's not considered a variant of concern.

Its a 400% increase from 1 to 5

They'll all have to go a lot higher to beat PT's 10,000 offer.

It is very different to hand out money before the election in order to gain votes than promising voters monetary benefits (whether cash or by way of tax cuts) if said party wins.  One is bribery, the other is usually political bull.

In the case of PTs offer, this is said to be paid to all only after the election, whether or not they voted for the party.

And next, a new statue of David with an 18 inch knob... to celebrate the more endowed gentlemen...

The latter imported from Indonesia?

I suspect they mean Pali, the language of buddhist chants.

I wonder if the appropriate tax had been paid on the 25m.

Oh, that 25m - I just gambled it away and have nothing now.....
