Rest in peace to the poor man killed in this terrible accident.

We all might need to make a break - for the border.

Another coup means the army isn't going to step down anytime soon. (You think the hi-so's are gone?) All the election did in 2007 after the army, as self-scheduled, stepped down was to yet again reelect Thaksin's people. Then what happened? Samak got booted out because he like to cook on television and was stupid enough to accept a (cough) few baht for it. Somchai got aced out by a silent behind the scenes coup. Bangkok's center got torched for it.

A new coup against Yingluck and Thaksin's present gang would be absolutely intolerable to the reds. Each side knows the stakes involved in any new coup. It would be for keeps, the new old Burma. Each side would neither come nor go quietly.

Thanks for that riveting insight Nostradamus. Bed time Zzzzzzzz

Thanks you are right. Channel 9 is streamed on a number of websites. I'll have to find a couple and post them next time!

Lots of then raised for fighting I suspect

GREAT LINE!

Thanks for Woody.

I can't get enough of him

I had forgotten this line it was so long ago, but this just points out again how much fun these films are to watch, some a dozen times over 30 years.

Thank you.

Here is an interesting article that dives into the topic that Allen glossed over - http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/Wagner.html

For myself the brilliance of the music, politics aside, is of primary importance when I perform it.

Thai cabinet ministers are replaced so often theres no logic behind appointing any of them.

Newin Chitchob must be glad he's out of politics. Looks like he's making big money running his football business in Buriram.

Seems to have a few farangs kicking the ball around for him.

Filled a stadium the other night.. .....does he have to pay income tax.?.. dont ask.

LMAO that you think Newin is "out of politics" -

I love most things about LOS..

Like most people, there are certain things that frustrate me but overall I'm happy to live here..

However, why can't they ban Amway ??

Or just ban relatives of the wife from being involved with it... We had over an hours sales pitch for a water filter that we already told them we did not want or need !! 30,000 baht for something to treat our rain water which we drink

Anyone else have trouble kicking annoying relatives out the house ? My dog loves it though as I tend to take him on longer walks when this happens..

Don't sell that water filter short - it is quite good!

Chula and Mahidol lead the way again!

Dress Code

No shorts, sneakers and slippers are allowed at any time.

No Shorts?

Glad to hear it.

Also, of course, very glad to to see this happening!

Seen there so you can verify!

One last interesting tidbit - every Saturday TPO program is broadcast LIVE on Thai Channel 9 (Modern Nine). But of course, hearing the real concert is much better, and every Saturday concert we have groups of expats from Pattaya and Hua Hin who rent shuttle buses and come to our programs! Check us out - we are pretty good

A lovely picture of Prince Mahidol Hall - Opening in December 2013. This hall has 2,040 seats, acoustics designed by Mueller Company (Same company that did the Esplanade in Singapore), and looks amazing. Come here TPO prepare their sound to fill this big space!

Red shirt morons. You are not helping - go home.

Where are the TV pro red shirt fans? I want to hear this defense of their government's policy? Don't be quiet now!

When i saw the thead topic - the first thing i though of was Thaksin, Yingluck, Chalerm, et al in a garden - because they are all such big tools.

The same way as I am at home - I wander from room to room mumbling incoherently, until i bang my knee on a sharp object and crumple to the floor, curl up in a ball, and wait for a Jingting poll to make it all better...

5, 4, 3, 2....
