As can be seen by the number of "oligarchs" in Russia who have been hit hard by sanctions.

I have never heard of, or seen the Police pull anybody over for dangerous driving in Thailand - if they did that they wouldn't have time to do the other essential parts of their jobs - oh, wait a minute !

How many more will it take before this lily livered Government do something about these killers, and their stupid owners? "Mrs. Kiatkanok, the dog's owner, admitted that this was not the first incident involving Poikae, as the Pit Bull had recently bitten other family members, including her 17-year-old daughter." I suppose this one will be taken to the temple to apologise, then given to someone experienced with dogs who will then sell it on to the next victim. Sometimes the laws and customs in this country beggar belief!

Just a very sad story - a tragedy waiting to happen.

I had the same problem (See my post a few above this one), but I like your solution better!

"..........and understand it will be done using biblical scripture." Not down our wat! way! The teachers I know are mostly farang volunteers and I don't know one religious freak amongst them.

I once heard id described as 2 schoolboys in a playground arguing about who had the best imaginary friend!

Should that not read "mythical bean"? Or maybe mythical "has been"? I think you meant "being"! 🙂

There's a right time and a right place, and preaching Christianity to novice Buddhists in a Buddhist temple is neither.

At his age his parents were probably calling him "thou" not "you", and at that time were the majority of Aussies parents' not the offspring of convicts anyway? 🙂

Nah, send him back to Oz where he'll probably get his meds for free in an old folks home. He's obviously not a hardened criminal, just an old man who needs a bit of support.

I had some similar Bible thumpers/Mormons/Jehovah's Witnesses at my door a great number of years ago trying to convert me. One of them said "But you must have believed in Jesus at one time?" I replied, "Yes, and I also used to believe in Santa Claus! Goodbye" and went to close the door, but he stuck his foot in the way, saying "But......" and he got no further because I said "Take your foot off my doorstep or I'll break it - now b****r off and don't bother me again." My Scottish wife at the time commented "There was no need for that, you could have just said you were busy, and didn't have time to talk to them". I replied "Yes, and what excuse would you use when they came back again? No, this way they won't bother us again" We never got bothered again - bloody pests!

He wasn't thinking of the consequences - that's for sure!

As an "ex uk Customs officer" you would have a better grasp of the English language!

Yes- ridiculous state of affairs!

If you bothered to read the full post you would see that you are talking about the wrong person altogether:- "In a related incident, professional footballer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was charged with attempting to smuggle £600,000 worth of cannabis through Stansted Airport." I guess that's how rumours start!

"Not sure why you are getting all confrontational about it..." Because that's his style - that's what he does!

What a wally!

Forgot the comma, mate!

Nah, I don't sphinx so - just chit chats chasing mossies.

Well, mine is half full, and I can't see any writing on the wall!

So your glass is half empty then? 🙂

I preferred it in the early 80's when I got 73 THB to the British Pound!!!

"The woman is often seen using drugs under the cover of a yellow umbrella, and she reportedly urinated and defecated near drainage pipes, which tarnished Pattaya’s tourism reputation." It would take a lot to further tarnish it, but this article will help!

I am surmising differently - "We won't pay you, but sometime in the future we'll give you a share in the company" I wonder how many suckers have fallen for that one?
