Not a complaint, just an observation, it is as it is. I personally hate the London accent, it took me years to get rid of my own.

Most of my British compatriots say the same as me, the accents grate on the nerves.

A friend of mine on holiday in Phuket from Germany used the zebra crossing to cross the road (he didn't know any better), he was hit by a car travelling at low speed which knocked him over. He damaged his wrist and suffered multiple grazing and bruising. He was taken to Bangkok hospital where he was treated. while waiting he telephoned me, when I heard the name Bangkok hospital I told him only to get minimum treatment if safe to do so and get follow up treatment in Germany as the cost would be exorbitant.The doctor wanted to operate on his wrist but remembering what I had said he asked, and was assured, he could leave it for a few weeks. His wrist was immobilized and his grazes bandaged, 16,600 Baht. He paid with his credit card and asked me if it was worth going to the police, who took particulars of the accident, to ask about getting the money back from the driver, I said he could try but I didn't hold out much hope....how wrong I was. The police arranged an interview with him, the driver, an insurance rep and one of the hospital staff who treated him. The police told the rep that the driver was at fault and he promised payment within a few days and had brought the forms with him for my friend to fill out, the police gave him an accident report, before they could leave the medical staff interjected and said that wasn't enough, the man's holiday had been ruined (he couldn't use his drinking arm) and that he should be compensated with money for that as well, the police agreed and the insurance man said yes there was a standard payment for such cases, this was added to the details on the form. He was told he could pick up the money at the insurance office in 3 days. So not everything is a scam against farang.

Never speak the truth to Trump, it's like a foreign language and he wont understand you.

How big was the envelope?

They owe nothing if they didn't countersign.

Well that solved the shooters problem.....not.

Dylan Thomas was a genius, cut down by alcohol like his countryman Richard Burton.

It's a wonder anybody noticed.

No, too American for me. If they are worn with a baseball cap it would be formal dress code for an American.

Outdated? what does that even mean? I am that I am, as I am.

Dylan Thomas died young as an alcoholic

The 'most votes' doesn't mean it has a majority, while 30% want the FPO in power 70% do not.

She looks ****ing awful.

They all have atrocious accents as a binding element.

Have you been going to Delphi?

Well even at the height of the cold war and despite having a land border with the Communists we didn't have McCarthyism. The US instead is now afraid of China and BRICS. There several good economic programs (by Americans) on YouTube who show that the much praised economy is built on sand, long term unemployment is increasing and a rapid increase in unemployment is expected in the next few months, retail sales are plunging and even Walmart is pessimistic. It must be bad if many Americans can't afford a Big Mac.

No, it's the European Union, but going on that measure the United States of America isn't a country either, it's just a union of Separate states.

In ancient Rome generals 'fell on their swords' when they failed.

Absolutely correct. Also, Trump is so worried about steel imports because Europe, Japan, Korea and China have been modernizing plants and production methods for years while Americas plants are now obsolete and can no longer compete on price. Tarifs hold back innovation.

....worried about trust and integrity in Thailands public services.

Two's company, three's a crowd.

Sounds like you don't believe in America's strong economy and don't think 'the land of the free' can withstand competition.

Take note UK, the Donald is running scared of the EU's influence and competition and wants to destroy it, he's pleased that you left to become his lackey again but lackeys have to know their place, Trump wont be patting your head you'll be getting kicks.....you're on your own now, impoverished, divided and without influence.

Indeed he has and one day he may fall on it.
