  1. The elephant was obviously terrified by the appalling way it was being treated. The cruelty inflicted on elephants in Thailand is an utter disgrace.
  2. Living in Thailand/South East Asia, and being very much aware of the growing influence of China throughout the region, I just hope that Trump takes a strong line with Beijing on the future independence of Taiwan, and maintains what has been a close relationship between Thailand and the USA since the end of WW2.
  3. Doubtful. No need for him to 'do Trump'. Most likely Vance will simply use the next 4 years to work on his own appeal to voters, and will stand for President in 2028.
  4. Personally I have always preferred Thailand. Better food. better females, more friendly. more fun.
  5. If you must follow the BBC best to go online, or buy a True TV package with channels 780 and 785.
  6. Cats and dogs are, sadly. eaten in several countries around the world including Haiti.
  7. Homeless, penniless, jobless and generally useless. If I was in his condition I would not want to be wandering around Asia. In spite of what you say I think this guy should be back in the USA. Failing that, try the UK. We give potential terrorists and layabouts from overseas free board, food, medical attention and pocket money, with no time limit on their length of stay.
  8. This book sounds like BS from start to finish. Just to take one point as an example, the PM has nothing whatsoever to do with royal funerals and the Queen would not have made the ignorant comment attributed to her by Shipman. It would be interesting to hear Shipman being closely questioned about his sources.
  9. His 'support' for Harris seems to have worked against her.
  10. I wonder if this is yet another oversight by Labour, or that they simply don't care about the armed forces personnel.
  11. The husband drove for 6 Kms wth his wife hanging on outside the car and when she fell off he got out and beat her up. She'd be better off without him.
  12. Egg and cheese and, very occasionally, fish so not a strict vegetarian. However I do not eat pigs, chickens, cows or sheep.
  13. Sad. Yet another Fortuner driver in a fatal accident. RIP.
  14. Not sure how this will work out. Already too many races on the F1 calendar.
  15. 83 years old later this month. I'm a vegetarian, not a vegan. Had hepatitis B and malaria in my twenties but no other illness to date.
  16. 3 years and 3 months for what the report describes as 'grave crimes' ?
  17. A disturbing story. Make sure the cat in the video is the same as the one which appeared in the movie.
  18. In over 60 years I've never once been threatened by a soi dog in Thailand and I find the fear of them rather pathetic.
  19. Good news. Not only a reflection of the friendship of close allies, but also a reminder that Churchill's mum was an American.
  20. The one thing to be learned from those in middle and old age who are still lefties is that some people never grow up.
  21. There can be no doubt about DJT's good work ethic. He has earned his victory.
  22. Just announced that Arizona has been won by the Republican party making it a clean sweep for the GOP in all seven of the borderline states.
  23. Reeves' budget will result in significant pressure on businesses to recover the increased costs through raising prices and reducing staff numbers. The general election has resulted in the position of both PM and FM being filled by Marxists. Don't expect much understanding or concern for the welfare of businesses or businesses' customers.
  24. Lammy made these comments not so long ago. and they are on record. Trying to crawl away from them now is pathetic.
