  1. Seems to me the claim of "moral victory" because of the rain, is rather unique. The British Open Golf 4th day was also played in bad weather, but they played on, and we didnt hear any claims from the losing players that actually they would have won except for the rain. Nor that the internal "out of bounds" were unfair and in the spirit of the game, players whose balls go there should be forgiven. Rules are rules mate!
  2. Lets hope it will be a creation of real democracy where poll winners are allowed to reflect the people's will.
  3. So what does the "processing fee" entail. ? Probably just a computer key stroke. The point the writer is making it just seems to be a money grab and an unethical practice. Those who dont care contribute to this practice.
  4. Dont apply western logic, use Thai thinking, you bought two houses, and still there ? obviously the well is not dry yet.
  5. Listen to your better half. then check out if Pathlab have a site there if so look at their packages .They just do the tests and send you a written report.
  6. Great, now also grab those motor bike rider who tilt the number plate back under the seat so it cannot be read, and those without number plates. Many more of those than the MB cheats.
  7. CW has required the 12 mnth bank statements for more than a year now, and a copy of your last 90day report.
  8. Open the case and check the drive inside you may be very surprised, I did and it was nothing like what was advertised.
  9. And watch the "get out of jail free card" come out soon. So obvious all along
  10. But, it is a suspension! the court has not yet made a decision and since they accepted the case for consideration probably they are required to suspend him. But you are right it does not look good..
  11. But enough were prepare to join and make a coalition. And, as leader of the party that won the most votes he is entitled to vie for the PM position if the coalition could make the required number of seats. The ITV and second court cases are an attempt to displace him, before the senators have to declare them selves. If they, as non-elected members prevent the people's choice, they will be condemned. But there are powerful forces involved.
  12. My understanding is you cannot get an Australian age pension paid to you if you live here. You must live in Australia to be eligible.
  13. Those with principles, or do you have an amount at which you would act?
  14. You should take a look at the person behind the scene pulling the strings, it was quite obvious when the man in Dubai before the election set the date for his return. Also now you can expect after the dust settles his man sorry, lady, will be able to issue a "get put of jail free" card. What drives politics in Thailand ? its not democracy its $$$$
  15. If it is Thai language in "Word" just use google translate on your computer
  16. A logical analysis would consider who would be harmed by an EC ruling banning the MFP (Cow Gy) party, and the answer is "peoples democracy" since valid elections are the basis of democracy.
  17. It seems that a BBC reporter here in Thailand is pushing stories that seems to be a familiar line in his support of Taksin and his party
  18. I agree totally. SCB easy net on laptop was convenient and safe. Very hard to lose your laptop when it is at home. Also many small businesses in up country villages now in real trouble since the village ATM removed and getting cash means a long trip to the nearest city ATM. Small village shops dont have scanning facilities so only the big businesses benefit, and the Banks reduce their costs with increased profits.
  19. Obviously not enough fibre optic wires to hold it up.
