Cereal

That broad is powerful ugly and several sandwiches short of a healthy look.

The truth in all its naked glory. Pun intended.

So,a paedophile that preys on young boys is gonna get thrown into a prison full of men, many young. 

Seriously, throw him into a woman's prison for real torture.

It is indisputable fact that there were Jews and organized groups of Jews who were complicit with the Nazis in their anti-Jewish efforts.

Research the Judenrat.

What's a "slanging match"? Hurling slang words at each other? LOL

Cereal, 6000 hours for a first officer is quite a lot of flying hours. How do you get these hours? Obviously, you work for a smaller carrier with less restrictive hiring requirements and build up the hours before making a jump to a major carrier. British Airways used to have its own flight school at Hamble. Nobody gained 6000 hours flying trainers! You have to begin somewhere. Why do you think pilots put up with the ridiculous working conditions at Ryanair? Yes, to log the hours, that's why.

True, a pilot can log about 1000 hours a year generally speaking. In Canada they are restricted to 80 hours a month with some limited overtime available. Most pilots get their flying in with smaller airlines such as Bearskin or in the military. Nonetheless, 650 hours is a beginner and a pilot with those severely limited hours shouldn't be in the flightdeck of a major carrier which fly much more complicated aircraft.

There's also the fact that of those 650 hours, half are comprised of when he was not the PIC (pilot in command) and some of the rest come from simulator training. It is very easy to surmise he may have had 300 hours of actual flight time and the majority of those hours would be on autopilot. They all count as flight time. Most folks are not aware of this.

"Police believe they were breaking the law there." (Vietnam)

Nigerians? Breaking the law? Say it ain't so, Joe. Say it ain't so.

Flying is scary these days, man. I'd like to know how many hours the pilots had. It isn't mentioned. The First Officer on that plane that crashed in Russia a few days ago had 650 hours. That's fresh out of flight school time. When I worked with Air Canada you had to have 6000 hours to apply for a job.

Korea and Japan too. Laos to a slightly lesser extent.

Why is there such a seemingly large percentage of cops mentioned in these stories as Maj. Gen. which I take to be Major General. Where are all the everyday street cops? It's not as if they're all living pure sinless lives.

Someone give that "girl" a sandwich. Banging her would be like banging a bag of antlers.

Most likely US DEA ...you don't think the US consulate maintains that huge fortress in CM just for consular services do you? ....  sposed to be a big CIA  facility also.

What US consulate or embassy isn't?

I wonder if anyone here can help. In a nutshell, this is the story. I live in Laos and the director of our school. who was appointed this past year, worked and lived in Thailand for many years. He claims to have a PhD, which no one can absolutely confirm. he's also been such a disruptive force that those whom he hasn't fired are looking for other jobs.

The issue is this. We're trying to find out about his past. There is a 10 year gap when he was in Thailand which is unaccounted for. No one knows where he was or what he was doing. He's despised by one and all. He's a pathological liar and an evil man.

Is there any way to dig up information on his mysterious whereabouts during his absence from society? The rumour mill has it he was stitched up in a Thai jail. But that's purely rumour and conjecture at this point.

He has single-handedly destroyed the moral and very fabric of what was very recently a fantastic workplace.

Really? You honestly think that those two things are synonymous?

Calling all ghosts. Calling all ghosts.

Seriously, how can anyone take this seriously!

No wonder some look at Thailand with the expression of incredulity on their faces.

Having lived in Korea for 6 years and seen their construction methods, I'm only surprised that this doesn't happen more often.

Fired guns for half an hour before splitting?????

That's unbelievable.

What's up with Nigerians,man? I know many folks from Africa from several different countries and all of them think Nigerians are scumbag. 

I doubt they'll spend much time in a Thai jail. Israel will swing a deal and bring them back. My guess money will be the motivating factor. Major General Soandsoapong needs a new mansion.

When I was working in Korea with my Lao wife, the Korean people  automatically assumed she was Thai with the obligatory "look at the white guy with a Thai <deleted> for a wife" sniff. As soon as they found out she's Lao the change in their demeanor was instant and dramatic.

I feel sorry that the image of Thai women has been besmirched by this situation, which admittedly is likely full of girls forced into it as a means of family support. 

There, but for the grace of luck, could be any SE Asian girl.

20 students in a pickup. Hmmmmmmm.......not quite overcrowded but certainly tending towards it. As well, one would think (hope) the ambulance driver would have been more spatially aware.

Yeah man, I know, wishful thinking.

Seriously?????

So, what's that in Thailand? In Laos it's the death sentence. My neighbour's 2 sons - 18 and 16yrs - got busted 1.5 years ago with less than a gram of yaba. They each got 10 years! In Laos, that's gotta suck, man. Clearly it would be terrible anywhere, but Laos prisons don't even feed ya from what I understand.
