Many thanks. My understanding also.

So is the reinterpretation being applied/effected or, if not. when will it be applied/effected ?

Checking with my bookmakers there does appear to be a swing in favour of Trump for now, but no indication of whether or not it will last.

Eating animals is disgusting.

She appears to try to, but not very well.

I should be grateful if someone who is well-informed on this subject could indicate whether or not this new legislation has been ratified or. if not, when it will be ratified.

First arrived in Thailand in 1962 aged 21, and with little experience of intimacy with women. Left after a month, a changed young man. Was I a 'sexpat' ? I was an expatriate who had sex in Thailand so I suppose I was depending, that is, on how 'sexpat' is defined. It appears to be a term of abuse invented by the gutter press in the UK. It bothers me, given that I live in Thailand and I have been happily married to a Thai lady for 40 years, but not that much.

Well said.

That's better.

What scandal is this about ?

In the 1950s and 1960s Thai governments distanced themselves from communist China. Now they are selling out to Beijing. Sad, to say the least.

They should be forbidden. period.

Bull racing should be banned, along with a host of other cruel 'sports' in Buddhist Thailand.

Good for you. My comment is being taken way too seriously.

Lighten up.

Unfair to buffaloes...

You missed Deplorables.

Personally I would prefer Boris, who is a least eloquent, intelligent and entertaining, over any one of the UK's recent prime ministers. In the latter case I particularly refer to the current incumbent, Starmer, a devious, dangerous dullard, and a commie apparatchik.

Well said.

This was not a 'little controversy'.

Hardly surprising. It's the Guardian after all. A miserably biased rag.

No, and neither I do I keep her on a short lease. Happily married since 1984.

Friendly people, warm weather. good food and, in my case and many others, a lovely, caring wife. The whiners and moaners would likely be whining and moaning in any country, including their own.

Utterly ridiculous.

Ethic ?
