  1. Saw this in the centre of Hanoi some 14 years ago...
  2. Well at least they did convict. In the case of establishment favourites 'sir' Jimmy Savile and 'sir' Cyril Smith they were allowed to get away with it for decades. One a LibDem MP and the other being Thatcher's poster boy, and I don't recall either being Pakistani.
  3. So the poor people will have to pay income tax, with the promise of a possibility that they might get some back. Sounds like a plan to get the poor to subsidise the rich - which would bring Thailand into the 21st cenury.
  4. If it has sparked outrage then they should stop rubbing them together or, alternatively, ensure they are properly earthed.
  5. Since it started. It uses roads that are open to the public and is not a dedicated track, which is what defines a street circuit.
  6. Immigrant, who supports son of immigrant, complains about immigrants.
  7. They all look like they came from the Stevie Wonder School of Design, Truly hideous things.
  8. So he wants to be able to rape, murder or defraud whoever he wants and face no consequences. What could possibly go wrong?
  9. I think much of the recent flooding was due to the Mekong overflowing and the fire site is about 3km from the river.
  10. Named after the product that was used to produce the ropes required for the Royal Navy back in the 17th/18th/19th centuries. There's around 1200 hectares of hemp grown in the UK currently and this is planned to increase to 80000 hectares by 2032.
  11. In 2011/12 they drilled lots of holes in the road to let the water drain......
  12. Its the West's job to sell those countries lots of weapons and they do it very successfully.
  13. But if there was a master plan by Dr McNasty, it won't bring in billions of dollars if all the patients are dead.
  14. You cannot determine if a migrant is illegal until they are processed. Once processing is done, if the application fails, the applicant can be deported without problem (as has been happening a lot more recently owing to the increase in number of processors). The boats only started big time when the previous government closed all the 'safe routes' (where applicants were processed off shore) and reduced drastically the number of processors. This stupidity meant it took anything up to 3 years to process instead of a few weeks and led to putting applicants in closed hotels at huge expense. With faster processing and safe routes open, there would be no need to line the hoteliers pockets handsomely as happens now. The UK still needs people to work in the NHS, fruit & veg picking, care workers and hospitality staff - all traditionally done by migrant workers - and it needs fewer people believing that the UK can supply all its employment needs. It hasn't managed that for 5 centuries and idiotic and bigoted thinking won't change that.
  15. I think he meant to say Godzilla... he's just having a 'senior moment'
  16. Wow. So there will be no crime or drugs on Walking Street now. My confidence is utterly bolstered.
  17. Yes, of course dear. Now trot along and fetch Daddy's breakfast...
  18. The cow was probably upset because he didn't bring her flowers.
  19. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 80 seconds  
  20. 'Necessary permissions' = Sufficiently stuffed brown envelopes
  21. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 73 seconds  
  22. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 91 seconds  
  23. The big increase started when the Tories closed all the safe routes and ran down the processing of claims. Mind you, the hotelier friends of the tories who had been having a torrid time jumped for joy when their dilapidated and closed hotels could be rented out to the government for outrageously high prices (£120/night with no service and no meals).
