Germany to beat Argentina in the Final, and Harry Kane to claim the winning goal.....

Obviously Scotland would have won it if we'd qualified, but as it's only the lesser teams, I'll go for :
1 Germany

2 Argentina

3 France

4 Brazil

I'm starting to think that the spineless people here, deserve what they get from Governments, whether elected or those that have taken power.

Trump is the President that the US deserves. He is making them look exactly what they are. I hope Kim kicks his behind all the way back to Washington.

Which market is this ?
OOPS ! Just saw post 166 !

I think we need to see photographic proof of this.....?

I'm guessing he isn't from the part of France that was ruled by the Vichy government, during World War II....

I asked about the TM30 at Phetchabun Immigration, as I was going to Bangkok for one night. They told me they weren't interested in getting a TM30, as I wasn't leaving the country.

Having undergone a kidney operation myself, it takes  a long time to get one's strength back afterwards. Completely understandable that she still wants to rest and take things easy.

Said the guy posting in English and not in German, Russian or Japanese.   As if there would be any posting at all without the Yanks and our tax dollars.

 

You're welcome.  Better polish up on your Mandarin if you frack 'em too hard and still want to live in SEA.

 

 

I'm posting in English because that is my native language. I mean proper English, not some ersatz american version, where spelling is made easier, in order to dumb the language down, as it was too difficult for your country to comprehend.

I think you'll find your tax dollars going down much more in future, as other countries retaliate to buffoon Trump's' bullying.

Is it wise to mention SEA ? Your lot didn't do very well in their last foray here. Running like scared rabbits on the embassy roof, if I remember correctly.

The UK post office staff don't know for sure.

I bought a stamp for a letter to Thailand. The assistant, weighed it, checked the price, then crossed out 'Thailand' replacing it with 'Taiwan', telling me I'd spelt it incorrectly. When I told her it was going to Thailand, she said she'd never heard of it before.

 

Same here - something I ordered from the UK, came here via Taiwan !

What does one need to get a Thai ID card for foreigners ?

Trump's a moron. He has gone against US manufacturing association and others advise who have warned of major US job losses with the imposition of tariffs and impacted countries likely retaliatory responses. As in the case of D'Souza Trump is pandering to his base, ignoring the damage he is doing to the Rule of Law and livelihoods of Americans.

 

Trump is unfit to hold the Office of the President of the United States of America.

No ! Trump is the president America deserves. I hope he gets re-elected, and continues to show the rest of the world what the US really is, a country that wants to dominate everywhere, either by bullying, trade or force. He's already made plenty of enemies, by recognising Jerusalem as the capital of israel, now he's expanding the numbers of those against America, by his trade tariff policy.
Hopefully those he has targetted with his latest brainwave, will retaliate by stopping buying ALL goods made in the US.

Ouch this has to hurt the military junta and it's 2 supporters.  Contrary to what. Prayuth really believes, the world doesn't support his military rule and see Yingluk as a political refugee

2 Supporters ?
We know Steven 100 is his main cheerleader, but who is the other one ?
I think we should be told !

If the law in NI is not relaxed now in order to conform with the rest of the UK you will see a drive to separate from the UK. The IRA win.

I DO hope so !

One has to ask what an Admiral and a General would know about running an education system.
I have met many Thai national English teachers here, and none of them could hold a conversation in English. How on earth they can be expected to pass on the language to children in their care is beyond me.
