    Where's the grammar police when you need them?

    Here I am.  The title is misleading.  It should read 'Female Perspective.'

    A prospective female is a Katoy before the op.

     

     

    Sorry, may I see your grammar credentials? The word 'prospective,' which, for your benefit, means relating to or effective in the future, could easily apply to this situation. The OP, after all, is concerned about his future with this lady.
     

     

    Is this a question of vocabulary or grammar ?  Where are the vocabulary police when you need them ?

  2. All of a sudden the US needs all the friends it can get. Russia, China, and Iran working against them. India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan working the other side. Saudis, Gulf states, and North Africa fomenting anti-American mischief. The French being the French. And, now, even the tamed poodle Germans getting upset. Not to mention the usual chaos and anti-gringo sentiment being sold south of the Rio Grande. Maybe some of the remaining Euro states are friendly, but none of them seem to matter much on the world stage anyway. Better take your friends where you can find them. Now, the Thai generals don't look so bad after all. In fact, I would say that it just might be the Thai generals who hold most of the cards right now. US might need to ingratiate itself somehow with them.

    Governments have trading partners, alliances, etc. I don't think 'friends' is an official category.

    Maybe you should stick to Facebook.

    Politicians do Politics. And some of them even find that difficult.

  3. not sure Thais invested so much in Singapore agriculture.

    If the investment climate is favourable, investors will seize the opportunity. They rarely miss opportunities. It is up to the various governments to create the right situation for foreign investment.

    But, if they wish to encourage investment in agriculture and food production, why not encourage it at home in Thailand.

  4. Just came from a teachers meeting on the next educational school trip.

    The Thai teachers 90% female voted to go to a city with the most shopping areas !!!!!

    Good choice. Maths - help with adding the cost of purchases. Literacy - checking the price tags. Geography - reading the floor plan and finding way around the mall. Morals - dropping a coin in the beggar's hand. Chemistry - following the scent trail to the noodle stall. Social skills - "interaction" with sales staff about a more appropriate pricing policy.

    A great learning opportunity, not to be missed !

  5. This demonstrates how out of touch Juncker really is. It is not exclusively about "addressing UK concerns". In the recent EU elections, there was a Europe-wide demonstration of the disatisfaction with Brussels. Part of the difficulty facing the EU now, is it's expansion policy, with a line-up of bankrupt nations wanting to join and push their begging bowls. There are no economically strong nations waiting to join. Sooner or later, the German people will realise that they are being taken for granted by their own politicians. They will come to understand that "Das ist in Ordnung" is no longer acceptable. Of course, so many EU heads of government are fawning on "Mutti", because as the English saying goes, " . . she who pays the piper, calls the tune".

  6. Cross-border discussions and agreement on a plan for the way ahead will be the only way this problem can be resolved. The population living on either side of the border must be invited to contribute. Increase investment in the south, increase employment opportunities and raise the living standards. It's is a "hearts and minds" situation. A fresh (non-military) approach by the NCPO may just be able to do it.

  7. Sended is not a name I have ever heard. Sender perhaps?, but that would make him Jewish.

    Really.

    Yes, really.

    errors in translation from Arabic or Kurdish into Thai then into English ?

    Possibly not too many Kurdish/Thai translators in the Immigration Police.
