Well, you can go back to thinking about John Major giving Edwina Currie the pork sword then........

Lee Anderthal is clearly a man of great principle as he was a supporter of the idea that any MP who changed parties mid-stream should always call a by-election. Except when it comes to him..... Just another useless shouty gammon....

'World' Songkran?????

Not so. Only Mexico and Misano are proper tracks, the rest are temporary or street circuits

And with a gigantic puff of smoke, within 24 hours, 200 new immigration officers suddenly appear... Quite an intensive training course it seems....

Except, of course, the story is a bit short on detail. Like the fact that the fund was set up in December 2022 with £119m being allocated and the additional £237m was added in December 2023. It is a fund to be used globally, not just in Thailand and so far Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, Turkey and Vietnam have shown interest in the fund. Grants of up to £100,000 can be awarded to UK institutions to collaborate in research. Not quite the magic money pit it is being puffed up as being. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-science-partnerships-fund-ispf/international-science-partnerships-fund-ispf https://opportunities-insight.britishcouncil.org/news/opportunities/grants-international-research-collaborations

Another new word to add to the dictionary - Kazakhstani. Presumably this replaces the proper word Kazakh which those people had been using for centuries. Next - Thailanders

The Grand Tour S5E3 - Sand Job. Released last Friday

Oh look, its that old 'draw a line under this and lets move on' strategy - the great distraction...

Oh, so nothing to do with most of them (and the Crown Dependencies) being offshore tax dodgers paradises? And of the rest, several are important strategic military outposts like Gibraltar, Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands, St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cuhna.

They're way over the average of the last 15 years - basically the tenure of the so-called 'party that is good for the economy'. Its been economic lunacy ... and Liz Truss....

Inflation has declined sharply (exactly as predicted by economists) because the Bank of England raised interest rates and kept them high. The Bank of England is independent of the government and have been criticised by that same government recently, for keeping the rate high, so its another bogus claim that Sunak & co have reduced inflation themselves.

The 35 million tourists will no doubt be totally reassured that the govt has allowed an average of 70 baht for their medical needs.

Thailand needs Pit's thinking. Thailand voted for Pita's thinking Thaksin prevented that by getting his party to connive with the generals for his own benefit. Greedy geriatric billionaire dinosaurs are not the people to be listened to. Anywhere.

Cannot leave the country? Remind me how well that worked out last time.....

Is that why they bought 45 787 Dreamliners?

Release on Sunday Miracle cure on Monday Farewell, grave illness You have served your master well...

Capybara pants - ideal for the big fat rat....

The flight data actually shows that the flight (LH773) left the gate at 1648 UTC, took off at 1707 UTC, turned at 1826 UTC, landed at 1927 UTC and gated at 1935 UTC. Add 7 hours to UTC to get Thai time. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/lh773#33ebd63a

Maybe quite full is still not enough. Airasia's strategy is based on the Ryanair model which needs over 90% full planes as average to produce the big profits.

That last paragraph is up there with the comedy greats

Like falsely accusing his opponent of being born outside the country?

Why? The ones with the door plug problems are the 737 MAX 9 and the 737-900ER both which are smaller and metal.

Quite a long time before this one https://www.investors.com/news/ge-engine-problems-southwest-ntsb-probe-fatal-flight-boeing-737-inspections/ and even longer ago than this one https://apnews.com/article/plane-engine-exploded-denver-explained-66dcd66fcf81f94233cc42e0132036b9

They have 3 A330-300s all with RR Trent 700 engines And there is another 2 on order expected Sept 2024
