Mister Fixit

These, pictured, are not the real thing they are bent nails.

The real ones have a spike on either end and are made for a specific fastening purpose.

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to bend the nails so they can be used to cause punctures.

Quite - this is a caltrop with hollow spikes to let air out of tyres. Those pictured elsewhere were just bent nails that MIGHT have worked ...

yes, these are the "good people" and "peaceful protesters" we keep hearing about. Problem is, when they don't get their own way, they turn very, very ugly. Find them and throw them in jail for 10 years.

How do you know they weren't placed to stop tanks coming in, by the man himself? I mean, come on, he's that clever... he nail a short or two!

Tanks? Stopped by a few bent nails? Get real, this is Planet Earth!

Great, then the entire world can see what an ass Chalerm really is ...

Not scoffing now, I bet ...

It has just been announced (then retracted by the Thai Gov't PBS lot) that the Emergency Decree that allowed the caretaker Government and the witless Chalerm, in charge of restoring order, has been deemed illegal by the Thai courts.

Wait for a massive backlash and the PM and her cronies to do a swift bunk, especially as she is about to be charged with malfeasance by the National Anti - Corruption Commission.

She (and Chalerm) could also well be charged with murder now the decree is seen to be illegal, exactly what they were trying to do with the previous PM for dispersing the redshirts in 2010!

So, nothing do do with her and her previous Government's total incompetence as politicians, then? Pass the buck and deny everything, that's the Thai way ...

No he has not, he just farts louder...

Verbal farts ...

The teams probably consist of 2 x 3 wheelchair bound grandmas, that's about all the protesters left.

They must be diabolically vicious grandmas, as the combined might of the Thai police force, CMPO, Chalerm and a State of Emergency can't move them.

Well, the police must be retarded cowards then, being chased away at Chaeng Wattana by one 50-something woman screaming at them, and one lady-boy dancing provocatively at them according to the Bangkok Post film, so they did a quick re-think and retired ungracefully to their bolt-holes for a som tam break.

Chalerm is a complete knob-head for sending in the police on Makha Pucha day anyway, one of the holiest days in the Buddhist calendar. All the protesters did was start to pray and the BiB scratched their heads and decided tomorrow is another day ...

Jeez, it beggars belief here more often than not - doesn't ANYONE have a brain ...?

'he went to see another famous Burmese astrologer, ET,'

Why ET? Because Thaksin wants to go home?

Gawd, you couldn't make this superstitious third-world stuff and nonsense up, could you ...?

Clear case of Deja Poo...

Quite good, considering a certain lady's nickname ...

and what about this guy ? Something happened to him ? haha

Thats Jeff Savage the Brit thug. He's probably got his own TV show now called "Brit Pricks Abroad". He got arrested for what he said on camera, and then when he was locked up he started crying about who is going to look after his elderly mother if he goes to jail?

Thanks for the name. Google gave me this:

Interesting stuff.

Another yobbo Brit <deleted>.

Makes me ashamed to be English.

Why, oh why do these idiots, Government and protesters alike, keep advertising what they are going to do in advance? Are they just childish attention-seekers?

If you are going to zap someone or somewhere, <deleted>, get on and do it, and get out again quickly.

Who dares win, chaps, or hadn't you heard ...?

Yeah, I see the brave Thai police waited until they could get him alone ...

How does he know this? Is he going to ensure theynhapen through some nefarious means? Like adopt a disguise and lob them himself?

He's a clown ...

I might take Thai food or any medical equipment for research with me.

Can't wait to find out whether somtam pla ra or yadom poysian is the new penicillin.

Two 12-packs of tom yam Mama are a must-take ...

Underwear and other clothing with the Union Jack have been sold in theUK since the 1960's. Same in the US. What's the problem?

Get your head out of your bum, Thailand. It's not as if you're a world power or anything ...

Oh, Gawd, will it never end ...? It's like a Thai TV soap opera - everything is fake and badly acted.

So everyone at a rally just needs to look out for anyone wearing moustache, sun glasses and a hat, stop them and check, and he's rumbled.

What a clown! And he's in charge, even worse ...

Still don't believe the mob at Lak Si trying to stop voting were supported by masked men in black? The pictures have been all over the web - can't be bothered to find the one of the 'unarmed protesters' unloading weapons from the van, but that is there too.

An anti government protestor firing his M16 from a fertilizer bag..cant hear any return fire

Er, if it's in a fertiliser bag, how do you know it's an M16 ...? There's NO WAY that's an M16. Knowing Thais, he'd have emptied the magazine in about 3 seconds ... in the wrong direction.

From the muzzle flash and expellation of debris from the barrel, the shortness of barrel (small fertiliser bag, notice?) and poor recoil, I'd say it's more likely a sawn-off shotgun of sorts. Maybe he forgot to empty the bag?

I wonder what the shooter was on that he thought he could disguise a weapon in a fertiliser bag in a concrete-surrounded city? Not too many open fields around Laksi ...

But it does show the mentality of those who tried to foment trouble.

Why on earth to these pathetic excuses for police constantly spout off with all sort of contradictory bullshit all of which demonstrates, time after time, that they are a bunch of incompetent lying nincompoops who don't have a clue, even of how to tie their own shoelaces?

Hmmm, with this secondary anti-governemt group also becoming a huge, critical issue, one would think the Amazing Thaksin would make it go away with his vast financial resources. Ironic that this potential death-knell to the gov't is not so much political, as being from the poor farmers and of a financial/business nature!

Yes, the very people he weedled his way into and tried to get on-side. Now they are shafted.

By him and air-head puppet lil sis.

'I feel your pain three times' ...

As for Suthep Thaugsuban, secretary-general of the PDRC, the court said whether the former Democrat MP would be held accountable for leading the protests in violation of the Criminal Code and other laws was not within the court’s responsibility to make judgement.

if it's not the court's responsibility to judge, who's is it?

They're saying - 'Keep us out of this' and very plainly too. They are washing their hands of the idiotic PTP ...
