Bookmakers everywhere now offering  odds-on for a Trump win come November 5. They're usually, if not always, right.

Sounds like Braverman for shadow PM and Jenrick for shadow chancellor of the exchequer, post election.

At least they've been laundered.

More likely for re-sale then.

Swimming pool is hot. Miserable

Likewise. Never known our pool to feel so hot.

strange reporting. how does one run away from police while at the same time chopping a head off ?

Read it properly. He was chopping away at his mother's 'already severed' head.

that is some really clear video. i blame cannabis. his behavior exhibits someone who smoked a big gagger. 

Not remotely the behaviour of a cannabis user. More like crystal meth (ya-ba), or alcohol.

PM's true colours now revealed by a covert interview conducted abroad, including a comment that he intends to eliminate any sense of a  'free wheeling liberal atmosphere' in Thailand. What a miserable prospect.

Back in 1945 ish in London. Nearing the end of the war. We used to have a few crates of beer and singalongs in our front room. I remember my cousin's friend, Alice, singing this song and I fell in love with her. 

        

 She was in her twenties and I was twelve. At ninety it still pulls my heartstrings.. 

Thank you. Much enjoyed.

Soi 13 and 9 ok?

In the early 1980s I rented the last house before the klong on Soi 11. The soi was a delight in those days.

As I understand it the Israelis object to a cease-fire because it would allow Hamas to re-gather and re-arm.

about 1000m squared of habitat to birds squirrels and go knows what else, it was a wooded area were there was a thriving nature thing going on

 

2 days ago these ##holes brought heavy machinery to flaten the lot, they destroyed  the habitat in a wooded area of litterally thousnds of birds, the area has gone from what I would consider a nature haven in the middle of pattaya to now totally destroyed............all for what ?, 2 days for a ### band that nobody came to see, they should be ashamed 

Very sorry to hear about this. Sadly this is happening all over Thailand. They appear to be addicted to cutting down trees and destroying wildlife habitat. Deeply depressing.

Ferraris are great cars. And on the right streets and with talented drivers I am sure it's fun.

 

But I will never understand why anybody would want such a car in Bangkok. For what? Using the 1st and 2nd gear only? Probably overheating that thing in the traffic? And they have to drive very careful to avoid any pothole. What's the point?

The point is to gain face.

What is this topic about?

More pointless 3 letter abbreviations which are of no interest to the majority or understood by them!

I can't help you. I also have no idea what the topic is.

It's called the profit motive. People will always try to make the most they can. Entirely up to the customer to accept, or walk away. 

A very normal sight on Friday and Saturday evenings in my home town in the UK.

Thais have a serious gambling problem. Opening casinos will help nothing.

You have rather missed the point. Many Thais gamble underground all the time. Worth giving regulation a shot in my opinion.

The difference between Australia and Austria is a difficult one for most Thais to identify.
