Thais may not be quite as amicable as they once were but they are still one of the friendliest people on Earth.

Time to get into the medical prescription business.

The 2-5PM  sales ban is almost sacred now ...Its always defended by officials, Yet no one can really explain why it exists...Strange...

I may be wrong but I seem to remember these restrictions were introduced during Thaksin's tenure as PM. 

Maybe Iran's supporters are thrill seekers who enjoy the idea of being stoned for adultery, or thrown off the top of buildings for same sex relationships.

It was a joke for heaven's sake !

Even if I would agree with you, but in this thread it's about the Caribbean group in London.

(Btw. All your "George" kings came from Hannover/Germany. Is UK now part of Hannover/Germany?. You could see how silly it is to mention Romans, Vikings or whoever)

Oh dear. If you feel the need to respond kindly do so with a modicum, at least, of knowledge and intelligence.

It shouldn't sit well with anyone unless they wanted Iran to carry on developing in secret. Let us know when its confirmed rather than an opinion.

Yes indeed. All we have so far is the opinion of some highly dubious 'experts', plus Mr. Macron.

This will result in a huge loss of tax revenue. How do Labour intend to replace the loss ?

Not sure if age is the factor which affects the way we respond on AN. More likely most people simply react to issues with which they have become familiar during their lifetime. 

It would be good if this is to be a peaceful protest allowing a free expression of views. The current situation in Thailand is awkward, to put it mildly, given that the PM appears to be mainly a mouthpiece for her father and his questionable objectives.

Maybe, but only if in Bangkok.

Tucker Carlson would have been a better president.

I doubt that given that DJT has now demonstrated a command of the English language which dates back to the 15th century and, in the process, probably earned himself a few million more votes when he runs for a third term.

Can we PLEASE have an explanation of which is which? The current display is most unhelpful. 

And can people please show a modicum of respect for the image in question. Please remember there are a lot of Catholics who may be offended by your silly comments. 

If Catholics are offended they should perhaps be reminded that worshipping an image is idolatry.

Sounds like Crystal meth+alcohol+depression. His behaviour suggests that he should not be travelling, and should be under care/supervision in his home country.

Not to me.  I think cannabis smells 1000x worse.  Some of us must smell it differently than others.

Yes indeed. You must smell it differently to others. Strange.

If the driver was not told by the customer before accepting the ride that she had no cash, and if he was subsequently kept waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the ride while the customer tried to obtain cash, then my sympathy is with the driver.

Great!  I'll be glad when I don't have to smell that rank stench anymore.

The scent of smoked cannabis is far better than the smell of cigarette smoke.

Somsak clarified that 'the current measures are not politically motivated'. I wonder how many people believe that. 

Well done the USA. A well planned, well implemented exercise. A credit to all those involved.

So that a "sports" one. 👍

Do you think they will be famous over decades?

If I think of Chaleo...he is and will be famous over many decades. He invented Red Bull

He did indeed create Red bull, but he is not famous.
