    A Marxist is a person who follows the beliefs of Marx.

    I spend about two thirds of my time at our home in Bangkok and one third at our place in rural Rayong. I have exercised everyday outside for over 40 years. I have never noticed the pollution in Bangkok, and I am in good health at 83 yearsof age. So far so good...

    If you dig below the surface Singapore has a lot going for it, but you have to put yourself about a bit to find the action.

    Before you eat any part of any animal just spare a thought for what it went through to get onto your plate and into your mouth.

    Canadians used to be among the better behaved people when abroad. A few recent incidents in Thailand indicate that may no longer be the case.

    The SAT clearly do not have the faintest idea of all that is involved in hosting an F1 grand prix. The cost is enormous, particularly for creating a street circuit. which is why several countries no longer participate.

    Mandelson has clearly indicated what he thinks of Trump, and it's not pretty. as has Lammy. Both are entitled to their opinions, but common sense dictates that neither should have anything to do with the USA during Trump's administration.

    The poor elephant was obviously terrified. Whoever brought it to such an event should be jailed. I continue to be both amazed and depressed by the way so many animals are cruelly treated in Buddhist Thailand.

    Strange. Doesn't make sense.

    Agreed, mostly. Thatcher, badly advised to put it mildly, caved in far too easily to China re the Hong Kong takeover. Also, she should never have sold off the govt shareholding in BP.

    What I said was 'not a bad result'. I agree 'landslide' is over-stating it, but to call it a lie is a bit strong in my opinion.
  13. Thingamabob
    Your reference to 'lying' is inappropriate and rather childish. The fact is Republicans won the Presidential election, the popular vote, and a majority in both Houses. Not a bad result by any standard.
  14. Thingamabob
    Which one are you referring to, Starmer or Mandelson ?
  15. Thingamabob
    Well said.
  16. Thingamabob
    No invitations for UK prime minister Starmer, or UK ambassador designate to the USA, Mandelson. One can only assume the special relationship between the US and the UK is so special that invitations are considered trivial and unnecessary. Or something like that.....

    Much ado about nothing much.

    Britain has been badly governed for well over a hundred years. What we are seeing now is nothing new, sadly.

    Too many Thais borrow money without giving any thought as to how they are going to pay it back.

    Er, I'm 40 years in the oil business and I can assure you that what is being emitted from most of those buses is not water vapour.

    Get him, and jail him.
  22. Thingamabob
    The cruel way many Thais treat animals is shocking given that Thailand is supposed to be a Buddhist country.

    Samet used to be a paradise. Still great, but now best to avoid the weekends due to the arrival of so many coachloads.

    Been retired in Thailand since 1993 having previously lived and worked in Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and Africa. No country is perfect, but Thailand is as good as it gets as far as I am concerned, and I've no intention to ever leave. You, however, sound somewhat puritanical so I doubt anywhere in Asia will suit you.

    Thailand needs Thaksin, and family, like it needs a hole in the head. The problem is he now appears to have bought his way into support from a higher level than previously which makes it less likely he will be gone any time soon. It can only be hoped that there is not a repeat of his so-called war on drugs during which, last time round, so many innocent people were shot dead by police.
