  1. farang is the correct written word however the 'r' is usually pronounced as an 'l' by Thais.
  2. As a corpse you certainly wouldn't.
  3. I don't know about heartbeat these days, I think mine winces a little bit.
  4. No, it's the English language although that may be an alien concept to you.
  5. The word alien has several meanings, one being, coming from a different country.
  6. It's about logic, a truck is a truck not a sports car, getting a new paint job and stripes with fancy wheels won't make me call it a Porsche even if some indulgent souls will bend the English language to accommodate the fantasy.
  7. Somehow I feel I should give a $hit.....but I don't.
  8. A little bit dystopian but there is no defense against stupidity
  9. Nature is pragmatic, it doesn't raise one species over another, one could say it's a very effective adjustment mechanism, one species fails another rises to take its place. What we call evolution is in fact just an adjustment to the prevailing environment at the time, there is nothing special about Homo Sapiens.
  10. What does a 'suspicious Frenchman' look like?
  11. Storm in a tea cup, this only affects breathers.
  12. Does it really matter to you or me or the Thai on the street? Leaders in politics don't make a difference, it's the leaders in the civil service who do that, quiet unsung heroes who make sure the political idiots don't sink the boat. Political leaders in democracies don't last long anyway, the civil service is the marathon runner. Even in ancient Rome it was the advisors, often educated intelligent slaves, who advised the executive branch, in Egypt it was the priesthood, in ancient Sumeria they actually had a functioning civil service as did the ancient Chinese dynasties. Catastrophes can only happen when rulers ignore the civil service, ride roughshod over bureaucracy and make their own decisions, they usually come to a bad end.
  13. so much detail, it sounds autobiographical.
  14. I don't even use the second hand one that my step daughter gave me.
  15. A very 'dignified' fat Brit who looks more like 75 than 55, he probably deserved all he got and some. A month on the tread mill with bread and water would do him some good.
  16. Well done Rowling, get Harry Potter's army in, one wave of a magic wand and they all disappear up their back entrances.
