Written history covers all the times when women were beaten into acceptance of male leadership (dominance). Men have shown that their egos are too fragile to take feedback from people they consider physically weaker than them. Leadership in today's world is not about physical strength. Do you think that the men who do and historically have beaten their wives into submission are better leaders or just a-holes? Mental agility, knowledge, application of logic, the ability to listen, openness, respect, knowing boundaries, appropriate humility are some of the traits that leaders require. A female president or PM does not need to wrestle a foreign leader into submission - they have others to do that for them if needed. NB, I appreciate you stating that djt is not a good leader.

Versus thinking with ones small head... the neanderthal is strong in this one...

FFS man - you are the embarrassment. not only is trump as far from a real man as they come, there is no reason having a dong makes anyone a better leader than someone without. Can you just grow up and act like an adult?

I am surprised half of you can walk with all the magic insight and assumptions you carry around in your heads!

Your survey omits the only scenario that suits me: I have on very rare occasions driven hours after I have had a single drink Drinking and driving should be treated with physical punishment.

But he sources his sarcasm from somewhere else...

I've been drunk and temporarily stupid in Thailand more times than I can remember. Never in Pattaya though. I've also never had a problem. I don't hang out where I used to these days, so I don't know if the vibe has changed in the last 10 years since I pulled out of that nosedive. However, I think that Pattaya has always had a different vibe to Bkk. And I think the vast numbers of tourists who have less time and scant understanding of how things work here, is a contributory factor.

You might be right, but I'd not know. I keep away from Patts and all the dregs that live there.

Your statement fails at the first hurdle; the entire world is not afraid to ask this ridiculous question. Around one third of UN member states have had female leadership. Fewer people than you would admit hold the position that a woman can't lead a country. Christendom be dammed for all its backwards BS. Here we are in 2024 still being bombarded by the sexist and racist views of the members of a cult of death that leverages the worst human trait known, faith. Have you any idea how freaking ridiculous you are quoting king solomon? He might just have been a bit a douche. Remember cheeto-jesus calling the head of Germany stupid? You know, the woman with a PhD in quantum chemistry? Consider this, if jesus turned up again, dressed like a hippy, preaching brotherly love and care for 'the other', turning the other cheek and promoting universal healthcare, people like you would hand him over to ICE and claim he was bused in from a mental asylum. I really hope Harris wins and gives all you old gits heartburn.

Every three to four months. As for replenishing the refrigerant, it is a scam! Unless they leak and empty within a couple of months, they retain 100% of the gas. This is the biggest domestic scam out there.

Same director and producer have made #Untruth recently. I will get that when available...

Have you seen #Unfit? I've watched half, but it was already damning...

I think 'sandwhich' is a euphemism for getting her jiggy on. Five a day is how I remember being in my 20s here. Any now my back is bad...

There was a site at the mouth of Ekkamai road that was supposed to be haunted - vacant for years. Not any more! Every new building has a couple of construction workers die while on site. Locals pledge never to more there, but others do and soon the rumours die like the workers...

Back when I still needed a haircut I was living in Singapore. The lass there consistently banged the back of my head with her bigger boobs and it made the exorbitant price seem only slightly less painful... I never asked if it was intentional...

Nothing quite like the selfishness of hoping an entire economy is trashed so your own property value goes up. Keep dreaming.

Say hi to JD!

Except that they called internal support at their head office. Problem solved - I opened a new account with Krungsri in minutes...

Tech savvy to them means they are users of the latest tech. Frightening enough, I've been told that as I don't IG or SnapChat, I am not a techie - those are user apps. Being tech savvy is not about being a dolt user - techs make stuff, and not clips of puppies. They make software, apps, design widgets and tools, understand operating systems and security procedures. Knowing how to post to social media is the modern equivalent of getting a letter into a letter box!

It is a BOI supported sector. We can own 100% of our own companies :)

I've been hiring technical roles here since 1991, network engineers, data engineers, software developers and database designers. I won't hold my breath! I have several Thai friends with software houses here. They complain bitterly about the quality of graduate talent. Two of them graduated overseas and had successful businesses there before returning. They are the most vocal and negative. Vietnam has produced more software engineers in the last 5 years that Thailand has since 1990. 65% of IT graduates in Thailand don't work in IT! Thai companies have made it clear that they view software skills are low-value and look to fresh grads to replace anyone asking for a reasonable salary. The effect is clearly visible; a complete lack of quality software talent and those that are qualified ask for stupid packages. One mate spent nearly 20 years in Oz working for software houses. On his return the only way he could get a salary that reflected his experience was in marketing! He was told flatly "We don't pay that kind of money for software skills." Admittedly that attitude is fading and companies are slowly realising that they can't do squat without quality software capabilities. But they can't turn this ship by 2030.

They may operate here, but they ain't a real Thai bank. Sure you know that. Nobody considered Citi a Thai bank, so why UOB? Anyhow, many of my Thai friends said they were really disappointed with the way UOB handled the acquisition of accounts here. Lots of issues, poor support etc. I've been a customer of Kasikorn since the early 90s. Just recently opened a Krungsi account. When I first opened my KBank account I was on a marriage visa. I tried to open a second account recently and was told that as I had changed my visa type to retirement I could not open a 2nd account! I needed to have the same visa as before! Go figure! The lack of flexibility and ability to handle what should be a normal progression is always an eye-opener... I was advise by Krungsi to keep only daily/weekly balances in accounts that can be accessed via their app or site. An (technically) orphaned account helps prevent loss in scams and fraud.
