  1. Sad, but no deal would have meant the complete demise of US steel and the loss of employment for it's workforce.
  2. One thing clearly going well for Obama is that Michelle still looks good in a skirt.
  3. Possible, but unlikely. The Shinawatras favour business with the Chinese rather than with the west. Hopefully the next Thai government will take a more balanced approach, as have most Thai governments historically.
  4. People tend to care less for others who can't be bothered to take care of themselves. I agree you would think somebody would have done something to help this guy, but we don't know the full story. Well done to the driver for standing by.
  5. Good for Pattaya, not good for Japan.
  6. Not a good idea to be lying down drunk and unconscious on the street, especially after dark.
  7. Number one rule in Thailand, share your profits.
  8. Fair comment. I would only say that although Thailand appears disorganized it does work in it's own offbeat way, not without charm.
  9. There must be more to this tragic story. The parents have some questions to answer, to put it mildly. RIP young man. Just hoping you are now in a better place.
  10. The PM's recorded comments were naive unless she actually intended to take on the military. Either way her days in power are numbered, as are those of her father. I don't expect a coup. Possibly some sort of arrangement between Anutin and the PP.
  11. Not a bad smell, and much better than cigarette smoke.
  12. ...and an English aristocrat, Diana Spencer. In other words he is in no way related to the Saxe-Coburg Gothas who led Britain into 2 World wars, and into its' subsequent decline.
  13. I find it incredible that Labour initiated this. What were they thinking ? This could result in the murder of a small baby.
  14. Abortion is a tough subject. For myself I could never approve the killing of a little baby which has developed all the necessary organs for a normal life. That is murder in my opinion.
  15. I remember the possibility of a street race in Bangkok being discussed in the early 1960s.
  16. So, you are proud to announce that you break the necks of creatures who do more good than harm. Perhaps you should be seeking medical assistance.
  17. Recently observed 3 Indians sharing one drink with three straws.
  18. So all those low-spending Chinese and Indians who have been encouraged to visit Thailand by the TAT and others don't really exist ? Thailand gave up attracting quality tourists years ago.
  19. The Dutch embassy site is historically interesting and architecturally beautiful. That doesn't count for much these days I fear.
