  1. In many cases, post treatment it gets worse before it starts to get better, depending on your healing response. If it happens to you, just ride out the storm and take comfort in knowing that things will improve eventually (speaking from experience).
  2. His time is over. Of course he still has supporters, but then so does Prayuth. However, I doubt very much that his once strong support from the redshirts, is still there. After all he did lie to them and throw them to the dogs and they are aware of this. Actually, I am quite surprised by how much the locals in my area would rather vote orange than red. They all know that he is still pulling the party purse strings too.
  3. Are you high? Thaksin is not going to be forgiven, nor is his self-serving running of the PTP going to be forgotten. People want change, which is something that TS doesn't.
  4. At 4:30, they will annnounce a mutual rimming event between the heads of the respective parties that will be broadcast nationally so that the whole country can throw up in unison.
  5. It has been a big help to me too, but without the kind suggestion of @aidenai, I wouldn't have even bothered applying as I was sure I didn't qualify.
  6. Its been raining pretty much all week here in north Kalasin. Can't remember what the sun looks like. We waited for the anticipated rainy season before planting the Taipei grass, but the rain didn't arrive on time so the missus was watering it twice a day. She's happy now cos she doesn't have to water the garden anymore (at least for a while anyway). Hopefully, another couple of months and the grass will give full cover. Unlike Owl, I have driven into Udon once a week for the past couple of weeks to get my phone sorted at the Samsung service center. All good now, but a long way to drive to get a phone fixed. A month ago I also paid a visit to go to Index. On the way back I was driving through rain from Kumphwapi to Wangsammo. There was the most amazing lightening storm that I have ever seen all along the route. My wife was terrified and demanded that I turn off the music. I have no idea as to the logic behind that. She kept pulling up her jacket to cover her face as the lightening bolts flashed in front of us. I just never stopped smiling. It was so beautiful. Made my own coffee before writing this. ???? My wife has no idea when I would like a tea or coffee unless I am working, so it's up to me. Should I get the whip out?
  7. My comment was soley in relation to TS. It had nothing to do with the generals or the senators. You do not want to know my thoughts on the generals or the senators. Very dark indeed. Sufficient to say I would not be at all upset at the passing of most of them. Very few of them actually deserve any respect, nor are they up to the task their positions require. Total waste of oxygen. I agree that it is the generals that are hated, not the military as a whole. In fact didn't many of the rank and file vote for MFP? That doesn't distract from the fact that while TS was elected, he was/is still a @#*&. Democratically elected people aren't all saints.
  8. Yes, he introduced some very good policies, including the health scheme, infrastructure improved upcountry, i.e. concrete village roads instead of red gravel, etc. But most importantly he showed the upcountry folk that their voice/vote was important. But respecting the poor people? Really? Do you really believe he did this for altruistic reasons? He is a selfish, conniving @#*& (please add the word of your choice) who only really cares about himself.
  9. I take it you are not up to date on the latest election results.
  10. Yep. Getting divorced while in the process would render the application void.
  11. Extenuating circumstances accepted. My wife did not attend either of my two interviews with MOI.
  12. The only ministry that should be given to Anutin is the Ministry of Silly walks.
  13. 112 was just the excuse they needed, but it is not the real reason for attacking Pita and the MFP. The elite and the military cannot accept the changes proposed in regard to the military and against the monopolies.
  14. A case has been filed against the EC and the court has accepted the case for further consideration.
  15. You'll get the senators saying they can't vote for Srettha as long as MF is part of the coalition.
  16. Withdraw during each date. You don't want to get them pregnant.
  17. Externally, no, with the exception of a big schneb. Internally, yes (all the same health positives and negatives).
  18. But any disagreement or suggestions on alternatives were not allowed. Honest discussion on the negatives of the proposed constitution was shut down. So actually only those who supported the proposed constitution had a voice. The referndum was an absolute farce, as only one side was heard. And then there was appointment of the senators. A total joke. I want to see them get their comeuppance. Self-entitled tw@ts.
  19. A few days ago the water supply was turned off in my new home town for bout 12 hours (they were suppposedly fixing something). When it came back on it stank like buffalo <deleted> and even now it still does not smell good. Sister in law delivered a tank of water drawn from her borehole (not a double entendre) and we are using that at the moment. The local market traders and many others are very unhapppy with the situation and signed a petition complaining about the situation. Appararently the local district office has run out of chlorine and has also run out of budget to buy more. They must have done something else to to cause the problem. I was contemplating having a borehole drilled when I moved up here but based on info provided by family, didn't think it would be necessary. Changed my mind now but will need to wait until next march or April.
  20. They have been clear. Lowering the penalties and only allowing the subjects or their authorized representatives to file charges under 112, i.e. Somchai, who hates Mr. So Andso, cannot file charges against him if he posts or says anything defamatory under 112. As a further example, probably more than 90 percent of those currently facing charges, would not be facing charges under the proposed amendment, as those who filed charges would not have the authority/right to do so. So the serial complainers would have to find something else to do.
  21. Kick it upstairs. Who appointed the judges in this court (rhetorical question)? If you say their decision is wrong, then perhaps you would be seen as besmirching the person who appointed them. In other words, it is perhaps seen as a good way of getting a decision that people may be scared to question. Personally I don't think it will work though and in fact could backfire considerably creating even more disdain for.......
  22. He applied for Thai citizenship and got it.
