    what troubles me most is the cowardly behavior of the weak republicans defending him the rot runs deep,spineless cowards deeply saddening 

    You have to wonder what dirt he has on them.  Politicians, whilst not incredibly clever, are exceedingly cunning and most would have jumped ship by now.  They are not playing the long game but hoping that blind loyalty will pay off.

    Strange quote from the GF if you ask me .... "I don't believe he was suicidal"  but then she says " i don't think he should have been left alone in "the state " he was in... What state was he in exactly ? Only a bit homesick based on what she has said.

     

    If it had been me, I would have expected my mrs to say something along the lines of " there's no way he would ever have  contemplate suicide no matter how wasted he was !  I just asked her now and she confirms that is pretty much exactly what she would say

     

    Maybe he had prior history of suicidal tendencies,  Also a bit strange that he travelled so far just for a face tattoo, All the way to Thailand , alone ! Bet that went down well with his GF 

     

    Much more to this than meets the eye  "Normal" people do not just get drunk and become suicidal, generally speaking

     

    I asked my missus and she said, 'we live in hope!'

  3. I can't attest to the mollycoddling of the cigars as I don't smoke, but Whisgars on soi 23 bangkok is a very nice place. Various 5 star hotels offer cigar lounges on the premises, and Paddy's Irish pud and grill at Mabprachan pattaya advertises a cigar lounge.

  4. It doesn't end after you get the Visa; you have to be ready to deal with aggressive questioning on arrival in UK.

    Before marriage I took my wife, then girlfriend, to UK.  I went through the UK Passport holder channel as directed and waited behind the visitor channels.  There was a choice of old man, young man, old woman  and young woman; I guessed the last one would be worst.  That's the one she got.

    Imm - why are you coming to UK?

    Wife - for a holiday,

    Imm - where are you going to stay?

    Wife - I'm not sure.

    Imm - what do you mean?

    Wife - I'm staying with boyfriend's parents.

    Imm - who is your boyfriend?

    Wife - he is standing behind you waiting for me.

    (I was 39 but looked 49, wife was 29 but looked 19)

    Imm - aah, are you going to get married while you are here?

    Wife - no, he is already married!

    I was in the process of a divorce from previous wife at the time.  Imm woman turned round and gave me the filthiest look imaginable as she seemed to think I was some depraved married Brit bringing back a young Thai girl unbeknownst to his poor Brit wife.

    Couldn't prevent entry to UK as she had not only told the truth but had proved that it was impossible for her to enter for the purposes of getting married.

    That's the only way to try to keep the workers Honest.

    It's actually only one of many ways; and not very effective.  A till that is never short may make the owners think everything is good and nobody is taking money from the till.  However, there are numerous ways to defraud the system and make a tidy profit.  There are digital analysis systems that spot fraudulent behaviour and create alerts for loss prevention teams or management to act on; every retail operation is vulnerable.  I have seen videos of staff at one outlet in UK taking approximately 40k Stg out of the till, which always balanced.  This was their flagship store with all management and returns setting exemplary standards for others.
