  1. Johnny Marr was great with Matt Johnson.
  2. Much of gangsta rap became hugely popular on the back of this type of sentiment. Ice T wrote "Cop Killer", three decades later he's a mainstream character on "Law and Order". Regarding the IDF, the BBC is decrying them on a daily basis - Bob Vylan is actually echoing their message (except much more violently). Probably their reason for not pulling the plug is they wanted something edgy and they were wondering how much they could get away with broadcasting.
  3. Cancel culture never worked in the past, why should it work now? Look at all the movements of past decades - what horrified the parents and the establishment just made the kids want it more. Also it looks like there's an increasing number of media outlets supporting what Bob Vylan and Kneecap were trying to say, even if they are against the way in which it was expressed.
  4. It worked for Jim Morrisson. They should put on a concert in Lumpini Park...
  5. Are you talking about those old one year Non O visas issued on basis of visiting friends and family? They were scrapped about 14 years ago.
  6. Before we know it people are going to be stigmatised for having acne or a shaving rash...
  7. The Man with the Golden Gun theme tune almost went to Alice Cooper, but they brought the recording in a day too late and it got signed to Lulu instead. Christopher Lee (who played Scaramanga) was very disappointed, saying "Oh man, why did we take the Lulu song? This song is the one!"
  8. Hervé Villechaize (Nick Nack) went through 35 hookers during the film shoot - Roger Moore called him a "diseased sex maniac with unnatural lusts"...
  9. Be interesting to see what happens. There's quite divided opinion in the media, and as the initial outrage dies down it looks like there's quite a lot of support for them. Plus they're 10 times better known than they were before.
  10. A quick glaucoma diagnosis from Dr Galigupta in Sri Lanka and it's Ojai so high...
  11. If they need a name for the new party I guess they could call it Spotted Dick...
  12. She was caught and jailed in Tbilisi.
  13. They might have had some tour dates and visa permissions cancelled and got dropped by their small label, but they've suddenly become more well known than ever. What was that old saying about no such thing as bad publicity?
  14. He's been here two or three decades though and made his money through buying land and property development on Samui. So I guess the youtube thing is more a hobby, building on his earlier background in the film business.
  15. They do come up sometimes on the FB groups. The original first version of the Elite with unlimited lifetime transfers are as rare as hen's teeth now, but the subsequent version is less uncommon and converts to 30 years on first sale I think (rules got modified over time). Some of the visas have an annual fee of ฿20k, and they're SE (special entry) type visas meaning only 3 months given on entry. TPC in the past has offered to convert for free to one of the modern PE (privilege entry) visas which provide one year stamp but lose some of the older benefits. Actually the original visa was poorly designed and the freebies they offered (golf, spa etc) almost babkrupted the business in the first decade. Buying used should not pose any special risk since all membership transfers have to be done through TPC anyway including their commission payment and involve the usual vetting procedures etc. They should be able to advise of any that are currently listed for sale along with the T&Cs of that particular membership. There are genuine reasons for sale that didn't exist a few years ago, including newer visa options and the threat of global taxation. The fact that the older plans can sometimes be resold more than once might make them more desirable than the modern versions.
  16. Looks similar to scabies. Could try sulfur soap.
  17. Almost feels like Chowpatty Beach. Just need some bhel puri and a Thums Up...
  18. According to AI, "in captivity, ball pythons can be prone to cannibalism, particularly when housed together or when stressed." Therefore it's probably advisable not to keep them in your underpants, where other balls and maybe a smaller snake are hiding out.
  19. Tao hoo means tofu. It seems like he prepared tao hoo tod (เต้าหู้ทอด), a popular snack served with peanut dipping sauce.
  20. I got sunburnt too as a teenager, never made the news though... 😕
  21. The guy who got tested on the alphabet was at Suvarnabhumi. No idea about land borders, however I've also heard Poipet is trouble and best avoided in recent years.
