  1. You would have trouble getting a doctors appointment on the NHS if you lived in the UK let alone living abroad, as for a dentist appointment forget it.
  2. Where can they be found, asking for a friend who wishes to judge for himself.
  3. What is a 'bad foreigner', presumably someone involved in illegal activities, in which case that would involve normal police work so why the need for a grand meeting?
  4. No need for conspiracy theories, nutters abound everywhere, in the West anyone in the public eye is open to death threats from someone who feels his ideals have been slighted.
  5. There is no country where corruption doesn't exist, in the West they have legal names for it, Lobbyist for example, or large party Donater. In Thailand there is no need for such obfuscation, corruption is often open and transparent, answered with a silent smile, a dismissive wave of the hand, the ease of being. In the West when 'they' are found out they resign, only to resurface later in a different post, the pack looks after its own. Asia is vibrant and interesting, I personally like it the way it is. Let us be honest, who among us is so pure that he wouldn't take advantage of a position of power, mice protesting about the rats consuming more cheese than they can.
  6. During my 18 years here I've never been stopped and been asked to show my passport so I think the risk of that happening is low.
  7. In other words, just a normal person who has achieved a position of power.
  8. Yes, that's why they have to free up the hospital bed first before she can fly back.
  9. Whatever, I've forgotten more important things than that. All I can remember from 5 years of technical college is 'that when a body moves around an object in such a manner that its distance from that object is proportional to its speed around that object it can be said to be in simple harmonic motion' and what good did it do me? The same as forgetting Prinz sang purple rain.
  10. I think the Ukrainians and Russians living abroad have already voted with their feet, patriotism good, long life better.
  11. I can only presume 'turn off power before repairs' is a given.
  12. Let us not exaggerate, where is the humiliation? whether he does time or not has no effect on the average person on the street, I'm pretty sure most couldn't care less, they have more pressing problems. I'm no lawyer but I'm sure a candy bar theft wouldn't see you doing time at all, a fine perhaps.
  13. Captain Pugwash music should have been playing at the transfer to the life boat.
  14. If you are Indian there is no need to get upset, my post was obviously not meant to be taken seriously, I'm British, it doesn't upset me if the pi$$ is taken out of Brits (we often deserve it). If you are just woke, get a life, there are plenty of other things to get outraged about but remember, nothing really matters considering how transient we all are.
  15. Why Biden? It's an American thing, it's one of the reasons for overpriced medical care, litigation fears cause the hospitals insurance policies to cost a fortune. You can get millions for being scalded by hot coffee in America.
  16. After playing silly buggers at sea the Indian ship will re-dock at BKK for the crew to retrieve their stolen gold necklaces and get a complimentary HIV test.
