Thait Spot

If the good Lord himself flew in on a fluffy white cloud and said he was going to abolish corruption in Thailand I'm afraid it wouldn't quite cut it for me.

This bunch stands no chance of convincing me. If they wanted to make a start they could arrest Thaksin

And we're supposed to eat the pork here?

It seems that half the new cabinet is in Poland licking ice creams instead of tending to their new portfolios.

I suspect Yingluck to do another drip feed speech on her poor, misunderstood clan while no journalists present will ask questions.

Both Pol. Capt. Chalerm and Mr. Jatuporn have finally come to the realization that they are no longer needed nor necessary to the Party. Both are not happy campers.

Tools in a nutshell.

And talking of nuts, the red shirts seem to be on the verge of gelding themselves if they can't find a leader.

Strangely enough that would strengthen Thaksin's position.

Ask not what the PTP can do for the UDD

Ask what the UDD can do for the PTP

And the sun shall dawn upon the tools.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind

Chalerm has his first project if he ever assumes his station

"Environmental activists and engineers have warned Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra she will face impeachment if her government does not follow the Constitution and conduct public hearings to truly listen to opinions from people who may be affected by its massive water-management scheme"

The threats made by these perported trade interests and afiliations with their apparently interested quangos are rather late in the day with their objections to this widely publicised and debated series of projects.

I hope that Thailand has a 'Statute of Limitations' to bring these spoilers to heel. Thailand's public works are often aflicted by 'Spoilers' that coral interested parties to aide them in pursueing their self interests as oposition polititians or land owners.

Every Public Works Project is oposed by NIMBIES and oportunists that deam their interests to be above those of the very people that the projects are intended to serve or protect. Such oposition serves to increase project costs though seldom suceeds in the core ojective of project cancellation.

So you don't think the laws should be abided by?

Cabinet sauvignon

Sacrificial lambs

I wouldn't make too much out of a photo like this taken during a meeting. Just a couple weeks back, I was giving training and I had to go to the back of the room to have a quiet chat with an observing consultant, 20 years my junior, sitting behind a desk. I could have either got her to stand up, bent over her, or squatted next to her... I did the latter because it was easiest for me, put us at eye-level, and was the least disruptive to others in the room. I'm sure if someone had taken a photo of me at that point, they could have put the same sort of spin on it, but it would have been way off the mark.

Squatters' rights mate.

Don't try that after a som tum.

Four legs good.

2 legs better!

Vice Prime Minister.....

How apt

What a load of cobblers.

And no shoes to repair

Sounds to me like she's set herself up

 

BP has it that Jatuporn has declined                                        

 

Cant argue with that, he has certainly gone downhill, but that's not what you meant is it.

Haha! That too

BP has it that Jatuporn has declined

To be quite honest here, Thaksin has much more in common with Ronny Biggs than Mandela.

Any comparison between the 2 is, quite frankly, rather vile

I've always though that cohesion was the ability of a substance to stick to itself and that adhesion was the ability to stick to something else.

With Chalerm clearly becoming unstuck and the finance and commerce ministries completely unhinged I think the terms cohesive and coherant are an attempt to blow smoke into dark places

It's a fact that cabinets are generally made of wood.

This bunch of planks are no exception and are no more than a watered down coat of paint on the old, rotten ones

Long may Chalerm be embittered - I've been laughing all weekend

Oh dear, how sad, never mind

This is like Jilted John
