The local authorities are totally incompetent. Nothing will change until they are replaced by people who can fight these wildfires effectively and crack down on the agricultural burning in their localities,

From Thais?... Not a chance - St. Patricks Day means less than nothing to them. From the Irish bar owners?... It's a possibility, but not probable. The Irish and the Dutch, They don't amount to much, but I'd rather have the Irish than the goddamn Dutch.

A tough guy with street smarts joins the team to help Trump clean out the Augean Stables. What a contrast this lot is to the limp-wristed woke libs who have dominated Washington for so long.

By all accounts a nasty piece of work. Her past exploits have included financial misconduct as well as violence on more than one occasion. Do the Shins really know who they are bringing onboard?

This Alphabet Soup turned into a stinking gumbo a long time ago. Time to throw it all out and provide some basic and fundamental protections for what is done in private by consenting adults. Promoting a perverted agenda is no longer wanted by the majority of people anywhere in the world where they have a voice to oppose it.

Weasel. Whatever he says from now on will be judged with this spineless flip-flop in mind.

+1 for The Duke's Iron Bridge. You didn't mention pizza. IM [not so] HO it is the Gold Standard in CM. Not quite comparable to what you get in Little Italy; Court St. in Brooklyn; or Arthur Ave. in the Bronx, but it is very good and has been for many years now. That said, I'm always glad to try another place. Any suggestions?

Good points that would be hard to contradict. My own experience with them has been that the majority of expats here seem rather more intelligent than the average Faranglander. One of the earlier posts on this thread described the disinclination to learn Thai as "willful ignorance." I think that nails it.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

What a masterful put-down. Not only of an individual parroting an agenda, but of the ideology itself. My only disagreement is your view of when things will change ... it certainly won't be with the "...next election" in the UK. Low-class Brits start taking in socialism along with their mother's milk and that nasty resentment of people better off than they are lasts a lifetime. It's a generational thing that will not change anytime soon - or until the last communist is strangled with the guts of the last woke progressive.

Talk about "Wealth beyond the dreams of avarice" that takes the cake. That said, she is probably just doing her duty - as she sees it - by fronting for other members of her corrupt clan.

For sliced whole wheat I like what comes from JJ Bakery and is available at Rim Ping, Iron Bridge. Nana Bakery for French bread and many other baked goods. l'Opera for everything except sliced bread.

The facts in this case are out and beyond dispute. He is trying to rehabilitate his image. A weasel if ever there was one.

So true. She is about as articulate as Kamala Harris.

Point to the head, it's obviously brain damage.
