He would have been better off leaving his skeletons in the closet. For the police, will the 'cetacean' in this case be criminal or not ? I won't spout anymore - it's making me feel moby dick.

It was a play on words - could be taken in many contexts. You took it a certain way, which validates my point. Subjective interpretation is a beautiful thing.... or is it ? You have over thirty two and a half thousand posts, and you're telling me to get a life. Why ? Why not ? If you don't want to allow open discourse on an open public forum, perhaps you could forward you concerns to the mods, or write your own closed opinion pieces - or not of course - I encourage you to be authentically you. Covid is so yesterday. More developed nations are already looking forward to the next pandemic.

I think you missed my point entirely. Invaribly I do whatever I like, but thanks all the same for your concern, chief. "Capitalisation" of "covid" - as a hypothesised or constructed proposition. Discuss....

Smiling Russians greeted at U-Tapao as first charter flight since Covid brings 230 tourists to Pattaya This is Home Page today. Inflection to suit the narrative. A whole history of it. 10p war comic stuff - bored of it.

Reporting ? Plenty of pandemics last 100 Years, and death is all apparent. Just don't see all Upper Case letters on many words, no matter how gruesome or sensationalist the headline - that's what my post was alluding to.

Still, after all this time, news outlets the World over are still capitalising the word covid.

After that triathlon, he certainly deserved gold.

Obviously, only his criminal record is long.

Detention for him.

I am - they're so tight, even the most hardened Ladyboy wouldn't bother. Usually like to have a shmoke though...

It would seem the Authorities have concrete evidence, in this case.

Negotiations fell through when the old viking started waving his stick, and the Thai Immigration language specialist heard him saying it would be a cold day in Helsinki, when he got sent back.

Do you know, try as I might - I have never understood Finnish people.

This Rice competition has generated a huge loss of face and subsequently quite a lot of anger amongst Thais. Though it's already days since the competition finished - most of them are still steaming.

Bit harsh ? I was led to believe that Equality, Human rights and inclusivity were the buzzwords celebrated at the behest of the most "generous" host nation, this time around. Why, I even heard that even the most lowly, common thieves were informed that if they had any qualms pertaining to the World Cup, they would be allowed to have a show of hands before, and were encouraged to vote with their feet after sentencing, if their convictions were justified.

Why is the term mafia bandied about so much here ? Rice bowl <deleted> kickers, more like. Instead of making waves, the speedboat Al Capone should bite the bullet and deck the beach chair Godfather.

I very much doubt it - owing to the strict Laws there, they would probably be charged within tent, to defame the host nation... Personally, I would urinate in the World Cup and give it a sheik afterwards.

"the RTAF has no Plan B if the US response is negative." Really ? How about not bothering buying <deleted> you don't need ?

The fact that this made the "News" beggars belief. Obviously, they had no choice...

After punishment was meted out, the 2 recipients of vehicular damage, a British gentleman and Chinese lady were further quizzed about their determination of the guilty party and car purchase decisions. They said they had chosen Rover, O'r a Good Cat - respectively.

A matter of perspective. Perhaps the wife thought taking it out on her, was better than ATM.

Pursuant to their love of acronyms and pure Thai logic, the President of the Association of Rudimentary Soi Etiquette and Hoteliers Office of Legislative Egregious Sycophants (AR5EH0LE5) concluded that, pertaining to the family orientated Bangla Road, legitimate female beer vendors were welcome to display jugs but not boxes, outside of designated areas.

Excuse me - what did you just say ?

After Years of experience, I'm sure that the internet savvy Fifa heads, Thailand and especially the host nation know all to well that, threatening to cut things off and imposing strict laws on a little ball competition, isn't going to stop people gaining access / using cracks and backdoors.

⁹ No - and never have. When one can leave the Country on foot, this requirement has never made sense to me.
