  1. "We together can defeat for good the infringement that is taking place on our natural-born right to bear arms,” Natural born right? In the UK? Internet meltdown. He thinks he's in the US. No mention of "natural born right" in the 2A I don't believe. Didn't it stem from resistance to the English, as a defence measure, during the AWOI?
  2. Did you read the "In related news" in The Thaiger article? Ye gods, bloke found dead in toilet on way home from Spain to UK. Another passenger exploded in a bloody mess on a Lufthansa flight from BKK. The possibility of an in flight medical emergency terrifies me. Have to take a beta blocker pre flight to calm down.
  3. The locks on this gate and the Dong Tan Beach one are a total pain. It's City Hall. I asked the locker uppers why they started locking them. "Mafia" they said, "Bad guys". The kids used to play all night beach volley ball on Dong Tan. Never any trouble. And of course a great cut through between Soi 5 and Jomtien. I asked the police at the Dong Tan station why they don't warn motorists the gate at the other end is locked. "City Hall" he told me. "Not police". Can sit with a coffee or beer at the big 7, bottom of Soi 5 and watch the cars and bikes confounded by the closure, having to turn round. Course, for bikes, there is a way round.
  4. Head stompers v ping pong bombers.
  5. You could always join the permanent protest outside the gates to Government House in Bangkok.
  6. Hmm. 3 years in chokey or £150 fine. I sure could do with a 3 year stretch. But.... Nah, I think I'll go with the fine. (Courtesy My Cousin Vinney).
  7. What experience did Srettha have? Identical profile. He wasn't even an MP. She wasn't "appointed". PT elected her PM. She wasn't even her father's choice. No I haven't "been around" Thai billionaires. Who has? If they're that insular and aloof, nobody! And I'm not in denial. Denial of what? IMO she's as good a choice as any. I personally thought Anutin would get the job. All the baiting she receives, and not just here, is getting tedious. Time to move on.
  8. Mb is Megabit. MB is Megabyte. There are 8 bits in one byte. It's called an 8 bit word. Each bit can have a 0 or 1 value. Binary system!
  9. Please, Mbps, not MBps. There's an 8 fold difference.
  10. I lived on a resort where everybody (all foreigners) leased the land and bought the house off plan. Later, maybe 12 years later, many wanted out. Some had even abandoned their properties.The lessor agreed to sell the land bundled with the house to anyone legally able to buy it. So a number of "owners" were able to sell, but at a huge loss. The whole project was a disaster. I think they got the worst of both worlds. I sold up but my daughter is Thai so we had bought the land. Still sold at a loss. If you don't know the market, you're going to get burned.
  11. You really just make this stuff up. Just a string of conjecture and nonsensical conclusions. You obviously hate this woman. Did she tell you to get lost at some earlier time in your life? Childish!
  12. I don't take your comments seriously. You have no evidence the Innuit are or were cannibals. Or that they even discovered the bodies. The Uruguayans had to turn to cannibalism to survive high in the Andes. They later on got a special papal dispensation as they were Catholics. It obviously troubled them deeply what they did, but found forgiveness. Bears and wolves don't use knives to cut up their prey. Somebody did. And the cut marks were found on a jaw bone. So, what's your theory? Just groundlessly accuse the native people who lived on a healthy diet of seal and fish, and we're adept at surviving in that environment without eating each other? Rather than desperate Europeans who were completely unable to fend for themselves in such a harsh environment?
  13. Maybe not. Maybe he's consumed by self loathing. Understandable if you think about it! He's certainly an odd ball. His behaviour has become totally irrational.
  14. What makes you think the Inuit are cannibals? Who believes this? Why were there cut marks on his jaw bone? Not much meat there, right? Tongue, anyone? Lip? Cheek? What would you eat first?
  15. Maybe somebody should petition the courts to have him disbarred.
  16. Well remembered. And many other rudenesses. And what about Moo Wit? Lashing out with a flipper?
  17. Get over it spider. No means no!
  18. Exactly. His profile is that of a stalker. Obsessive and dangerous. I would get a restraining order if I was Ung. Her dad should intervene. His daughter's being harassed by a mentally unstable old man.
  19. A sniper's dream ( thanks to Bob Mortimer).

  21. Another budding Ruangkrai. Is this all you do?
  22. I took your post to be a thinly disguised attack on the BBC, whereas IMO the BBC is to be applauded for correcting itself, which not many in the so called "MSM" do. They also have a dedicated verification team for photos, videos, and claims by politicians of all parties, and others. I'm not a big reader of "MSM". I admit to reading Al Jazeera, BBC news and sport, because that's my preferred "home town" media outlet, but both in very small doses, BKK post, Thai Examiner. I used to read Reuters and DW, and watch France 24. Hardly a left wing reading list. Why do you think I'm left wing? I think I know their individual biases and can filter based on that. The right likes to characterise anybody reading any "MSM" as brain dead morons. Fox and all the other right wing media outlets are all part of "MSM". That's a lot of brain death.
  23. At least the BBC holds up it's hand. Where are the rest of the MSM apologies? Where're the Fox corrections? And the Express, Mail, and all the other gutter press? Alex Jones? And all the other BS artists? MTG? They never apologise for spreading lies intentionally. Like Vance encourages people to do, claiming it's perfectly legitimate when campaigning. Oh, now the fake argument isso many of whstcwere considered conspiracy theories have been proved to be true. The only one a proponent of this theory could produce was Galileo's proposition of a heliocentric solar system. On almost every aspect of Galileo's life he was wrong. Brilliant! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theories_in_United_States_politics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_right_(United_States)
