  1. Another teetotal goody 2 shoes who I bet has never spent a night on the tiles! Or had to walk home through the wind, snow and ice because he's missed the last bus home!
  2. I've already agreed with what you said earlier - there's no need to repeat yourself. All I am saying is that if Dubai wanted to hand him (or Thaksin) over to the RTP, they could. Obviously, they don't want to, for whatever reason - money - power (by that I mean the power that comes with having lots of money e.g. the Red Bull empire) And assuming that he is in Dubai, he will need money to stay there, because he needs to support himself (and no doubt quite an extensive entourage of bodyguards etc)
  3. I agree with what you say which is why I emphasised "SHOULD", but what justification could Dubai have for not handing over a wanted criminal? Oh, silly me - I forgot, ex PM Thaksin is also a wanted man, and was/is also known to be in Dubai. Wouldn't have anything to do with money and power, would it?
  4. And looking at the farce they call a "Driving Test" they will be pumping out similar figures for years to come.
  5. No jurisdiction, but Dubai hosts a branch of Interpol, and we have been told that "Boss" is on their most wanted list. Surely it would be a simple task for the RTP to contact Interpol to inform them that "Boss" had been spotted in Dubai (possibly provide photographic evidence?) and Interpol SHOULD advise the Dubai authorities to arrest him and hand him over to the Thai police/extradite him back to Thailand. Is that not the way that it SHOULD work?
  6. Because then they could say "We have investigated unconfirmed reports that he has been spotted in Dubai, but after intensive investigations, we have not been able to confirm that he was in Dubai at the stated time" Or something similar!
  7. I think that the fact that the poster put "letting it in" in brackets tells the story - I think he/she means it's too soon to just let it run rampant.
  8. Never heard of the word "mansearch" but "manhunt" has been used for many years. Another case of P,C. madness - like schoolteachers don't write on a "blackboard" any more - it's a "chalkboard"!
  9. P.S. I should have said "Ultimately he was responsible for dealing with Covid. I know he's bad , but not THAT bad - surely?
  10. But, but, but it was only yesterday that the PM said it was all under control, and even had Anutinn confirm it! ????
  11. Notice the way he passed the buck to Anutin? A few months after he magnanimously said that ultimately he was responsible for Covid?
  12. "....................we will see restrictions reinforced and maybe even new lockdowns. Nothing the PM says will or can change that." I'm sorry, but is the PM not the one who is ultimately in charge of restrictions and lockdowns?
  13. "This number is meaningless and simply used by government and media to scare the population." And to extend the "State of Emergency"?
  14. "I don't know if Thailand do sewer samples,................." I know the ideal man for the job - "Minister A"!
  15. "After it was asserted that the health authorities had the Omicron situation under control....................." "No problem, the hot winds of Songkran will blow it away, and anyway, our Chinese friends will have a vaccine by then" Deja vu, anyone?
  16. The more I look at the Covid stories I think someone is making an awful lot of money out of a human catastrophe. Why are all these tests, RT- PCR, COE, lateral flow, certificates to fly, Thailand Pass etc etc etc not free of charge? You almost need a Degree in Communications to understand the requirements, and with TAT being so desperate to boost their figures, I'm surprised they are not offering to pay for correctly filled in documentation! ????
  17. And if Boots have lost the original, should be free of charge unlike the pharmacies here that have notices saying "No refunds - sorry for the inconvenience"!!!
  18. I think the expression used was "pretty much back to normal", which in my book means not completely back to normal, or in your book not back to normal at all - is your "wee dram" half full or half empty"?
  19. Got to disagree with you on that one, I'm afraid! (Apart from the fact that only one band is still in existence, so a true comparison can not be made!) Having played in a "harmony band" for many years, I can vouch for the fact that some of the Beatles harmonies were unbelievably complex - especially for the time, and one has to give some credit to George for that. John and Paul got their inspiration from the Everlies, but where was George's from? (Not Harry Krishna I can assure you! Possibly George Martin had something to do with it?) However, we are going off topic, but I would be happy to share my opinions with you on another day/thread!
  20. I think the poster meant everyday living as "back to normal", and I get your point re the NHS. However, without getting into a political discussion, the NHS was in trouble with extended waiting lists long before Covid reared its ugly head.
