you will see the birth rate climb in 9 months time.

I don't think there's too much white-coloured, farang scum going out tonight.

All these new acronyms are really confusing me.

I preferred 'hub', even though I hated such usage.

Questions and Answers so quickly? Never read so much shiite in my life.

BBC hinting at an "external factor". The more canny here will know what it is, though more internal really id say.

After 6 months of doing nothing something changed, hold tight this is going to be some ride.

Bull. Just more of the same shallow reporting of the BBCs Jonathan Head.

I thought his name was Richard Head, but maybe I shouldn't report such rubbish?

Every hour lost in line-stoppages in the car industry amounts to millions of GB Pounds. It is simply a wise decision to reduce output, although it will also be a very wise decision to up tools and relocate.

Wouldn't it be better if they left?

Even if you mean all sides of the political spectrum that is a frightening suggestion from a supposedly intelligent western person.

Fabby, weren't you supposed to be at that meeting the military called today? Even your idol Yingluck has shown up.

"Her brother taught her a thing or two also; how to transfer money out before being forced out"?

You'd know, would you? Give it a rest, please.

You have no evidence whatsoever (and repeating unsubstantiated statements from other equally ill-informed TV posters is NOT evidence).

Seems to me that if you ever had an original thought it would rattle around in your head like a marble in a tin can.

Oh but wait! Here comes another bandwagon for you to jump on...

I don't spend my time jumping on tin cans. The marble inside my rack hurts my ears when I hear individual, egotistical thoughts, such as yours.

Give it a rest, you say. She was removed from power with evidence of malapropism, which we were not at liberty to access, but all why.

If you still have a poster of her on your wall... by all means go pull one, but when the truth comes out you owe me an apology.

"Thais on average consume only 14 liters of milk per year, making the nation's level of milk consumption much lower than other countries around the world."

Good lord, I'm sure most of us drink 14 litres every 3 weeks or less, of milk

Maybe that's why a large comparable percentage of Thai males develop titties?

Evolution of milk drinking may have just found the answer to so much Thai gayness?

It seems like this coup is well planned by the Army.

I hope that everything will go back to normal soon.

It is a good idea to keep the former leaders in Thailand.

They misses the last time that Thaksin got away.

This has been planned for a long time, of course.

However, you don't start 'peace' by becoming a secret society, and blocking off world contact in order that your deeds cannot be monitored or seen.

It's understandable to want to locate bent and corrupt politicians running into hiding, but it is a different dish of food when you stop international commuting (between borders, that is), for foreigners who simply want to enter and exit without any malicious intent.

Thaksin has been cut from the system in ways quite definitive. Ever since his amnesty bill - which was a great, cosmic blunder on his part - it was clear that he had inadvertently enabled the path of his own exit. Thaksin's exit was completely self-fashioned and self-orchestrated. All these people who are now being called upon to report - they are all the consequences of Thaksin's ambitions. They are the fallout. They've all stepped up to the plate for him. Yingluck showed up today with a measure of grace. In so doing she has taught her brother a thing or two.

Or there is a tertiary motive in her show, perhaps?

Her brother taught her a thing or two also; how to transfer money out before being forced out?

But where's Chalerm? He's the one I want to see most rounded up...

Chalerm got the cuff yesterday.

link pls?

"Thailand spent Bt109 billion on antibiotics in 2007, Bt115 billion in 2008, Bt122 billion in 2009, Bt128 billion in 2010, and Bt134 billion in 2011."

Interesting growth from 2007 onwards. I wonder if the years are of any significance, concerning such increased spending...

my last antibiotic from the hospital cost me 2000 baht....from my local pharmacy 120 b....same drug. Wonder who is getting all this money???? Don't think about it too long.

I went to the doc's last week. Consultation,ears cleaned, paracetamol, antibiotics (Ciproxyl), and eardrops given by the clinic : 450 baht.

I envy you. I just had deep-root canal treatment and then the tooth capped. Cost 17,000Bt, and I didn't even get 1 tablet.

Unfortunately, Ban Ki-moon's words fall on deaf ears. The UN is not Thailand's uncle....

It's 2006.

... sent from my phone.

Don't you mean it's 1654 again? .... sent from my new, circular wheel with hubs ....

We have just had a Report in Australia, re the Coup that the internet will be cut.

I hope not

it will all be cut at 10pm as far as I can gather... let's see.... and post at 10.05pm na?

'The step was taken to ensure the release of "accurate news to the people," an army spokesman said in a televised announcement.'

Well that's ok then.

I THINK we need a membership number count before 10pm 5555555

and tomorrow morning a new one at 6am?

Those who are not here, were either out with little girls or didn't give a shit.... or both..

So that means I have to go get my beer NOW

Off to TESCO right now!

Unbelievable!! Thailand has just learnt that tremors at 4.0 happen everyday, in many places around the world. <deleted> is this reporting?

"Each household is entitled to approximately 33,000 baht worth of compensation."

Good on you Governor, as each household receives maybe 5,000 baht, and you and your <deleted> pocket the rest. I'd sure like to know where the figure of 33k came from. Ohh! It's a magic trick. Got it.

But hopefully a lot more to come yet. Just hope the military have the balls to push ahead irrespective of any flak likely to come from a few and round up all the leading trouble makers, those promoting and assisting in violence and get them to a military court on charges of murder, instigating murder, attacks on mainly peaceful protesters etc. The only way to clean up the mess is to completely remove this scum once and for all from all contact with the vunerable easy lead sheep they have been using for years for their dirty work.

And while they are at - an international arrest warrant for the fugitive and convicted criminal Thaksin would be something worth doing ASAP before he has time to find a bolt-hole somewhere like Chad, Niger, Somalia when no extradition treaty exists with Thailand.

Certainly it sounds like The Final Solution

In your dreams...

If all is coasha here, why the need to hide anything the government deems unfit for its own stance?

People are entitled to opinion, or are they not?

Big brother arriving in Thailand? ... me thinks not, or they all better watch their own backsides from the very top down!
