  1. I'm sorry but when I read the title I thought the article was about the turd in the White House who keeps coming back..
  2. Exactly the first thought that came to my mind as soon as I read the article.
  3. What an amazing story of this you man's battles from street urchin to his position now as head chef in a prestigious restaurant. My admiration for him is boundless. To go through what he has at such a young age and not only survive but to really make something of his life is amazing. I wish him every success in the future.
  4. They were too busy watching them perform from the police station windows until some tourists and locals went in to complain about the couple. I think the photograph above is hysterical, if you don't look too closely, as the guy is walking away adjusting himself in his shorts, the pair of jeans look as if they are standing up on their own.
  5. Surely it isn't down to the government to make this decision, Disney keep a very tight control on every aspect of their business and there is no way Thailand can go ahead and build one of their own!!
  6. Lord only knows but whatever it is, he looks like a real quality tourist 🤣
  7. Quite honestly having seen it at the Louvre it made me wonder what the hell all the fuss is about.
  8. He quite obviously believes that he will be residing in the White House for the rest of his days. He is certainly working towards it with the measures he is taking in America right now. He is well on the way to becoming dictator or as he would like to be called King.
  9. I'm afraid it is yet another step towards a fascist state. Next moves could well be closing down whole channels let alone single programmes. Watch out America you are on a perilously slippery slope.
  10. Just about says it all really. A Love Island contestant, a nobody, an airhead so now she's a BBC journalist. Rubbish
  11. It always astonishes me that all these thugs who shout and scream about the refugees and illegal immigrants and follow the vile Fartage and Tommy Robinson so loyally wrap themselves in the flag of St George. Do they not realise that St George never set foot anywhere near England, spent most of his life in Palestine and other parts of the Middle East and his mother was a Muslim. He was raised as a Muslim but did eventually convert to Christianity. Quite a paradox.
  12. As much as what happened to Virginia Guiffre was abhorrent and should not be forgotten she ddid receive compensation of £6 million. I have to agree with you that this certainly seems like an attempt to squeeze even more money out of this tragic tale but I do not see why anyone should pay this to her family. The offence happened to Virgina not to them.
  13. I don't think Thailand and TAT need worry about this programme. It's been presented by some relatively unknown tart from reality television programmes such as Love Island and was shown on BBC 3. No one watches this channel and the fuss will blow over within a few days.
  14. Yet another nobody who is now a star, I'm afraid I've never heard of her.
  15. As far as I'm concerned Armani clothing was the best. He was my favourite designer as his clothes made me feel and look good. Rest In Peace sir.
  16. I know it is an impossible dream but isn't it about time that the courts rescinded the ban on Pita Limjaroenrat for his minor error in holding some television company shares and making some sensible remarks regarding the top family. Then Thailand really could begin to head into a more modern era. He did, after all win a thumping majority. Remarks the odious Thaksin has made in the past don't seem to matter.
  17. If he has the same happen to him as the experience I had he will be asked to pay for new towels. Some years back I had stayed for a few days at a beach hotel on Samui. On my last morning I was taking a shower and while doing so had an inexplicable nose bleed. I needed to use a towel to stem the bleeding. Later I packed up and went to reception to settle my bill. As I did so the room cleaner came in with the towel I had used and I was told to pay for a new towel. When I explained what had happened and said I would not pay I was told that the cleaner would have to pay in my place. I paid the bill immediately but never stayed at that hotel again.
  18. I'm afraid the same happened in the UK when the Tories were last in power. I think the party ended up with about 5 different Prime Ministers in their last gasp try to hold on to power. It certainly cost them a huge loss when they finally had to hold a General Election. It also lost the Uk a lot of credibility.
  19. Hi, with regard to your question, having the injections is not dangerous and does help to keep whatever sight you have right now. I started these injections around 11 years ago at a specialist hospital in Bangkok. They were expensive and a monthly cost. I got in touch with an optician friend in the UK who asked to see the images the hospital were taking of the back of my eyes and he said I was wasting my money as the sight in one of my eyes had gone too far and was irreparable. I went back to the UK and have been having treatment on my left eye ever since. I am now at the stage of a gap of 16 weeks between treatment and my left eye is stable. Of course it is a little painful but it is just a quick jab and it is done. The injection is called Ileya (not sure about the spelling) but it is very effective. Luckily in the UK treatment is free on the NHS but in Thailand it cost me somewhere in th region of £1200 and that was 11 years ago. Do keep up with the treatment as it will stabilise the sight you have now.
  20. Hi, back in 2012 when I was trying to open an HSBC account in Thailand I was told that they were no longer operating personal accounts in Thailand. Whether anything has changed in the meantime I wouldn't know. However they did arrange for me to open an account with Krungsri Bank (Yellow Bank).
  21. In the UK it will cost you £80.00 about 3500 THB.
  22. Also, Local Elections and the occasional by-election are when voters decide to vote against the ruling party just to register their disappointment in the government. Then, come the General Election they normally return to their normal party vote.
  23. I agree with you about what this clown in the White House decides and I do not see why any decision about Ukraine is down to him. I don't think he knows or understands the words dignity and reliability. It's about time that the EU and UK along with Ukraine should be taking on these negotiations and tell the Orange Turd what he can do with his terms.
