  1. In my opinion men hitting/slapping women is totally unacceptable, whatever the circumstances. If this story is true I hope this drunken duo are located, punished with a short jail sentence and a fine, and then deported never to return.
  2. Around 30,000 deaths or serious injuries in road accidents in the UK every year.
  3. It takes time, money and brains to cut it in Thailand. Many fail.
  4. Indeed, no creature on Earth lives forever.
  5. As a posh git I only fly first class. If I could not afford it I would not fly at all.
  6. No problem with shorts and T-shirts, but vests are unacceptable.
  7. Thaksin pushing his luck, hopefully to the point where he is forced to leave Thailand again, this time permanently.
  8. No idea why this causes any confusion. Simply, whether a driver or passenger, wear a helmet at all times.
  9. The experience of some people but by no means everybody.
  10. Warm welcomes. warm weather, warm women.
  11. The idea of a grand prix in Bangkok has been mooted for years. If it ever happens it will hopefully produce a better race than most street circuits. For example, there was barely a single overtake during last week's Monaco GP.
  12. With reference to your comment criticising the state of Thailand's roads, I disagree. The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally good, and better than many of those in the West.
  13. There are senior members of the institutions in the UK whose main purpose in life is to denigrate over a thousand years of British history and culture, and replace it with sharia law. Hence you can burn a Christian bible any where, anytime without any form of penalty, but if you burn the Qur'an you are in big trouble.
  14. Legalise, regulate, control, and tax. Wars on drugs have achieved nothing other than wasting time, money, and lives.
  15. Only ever smoked a joint once in my life, in the UK, in my late teens. Pleasant, but nothing special. As far as my little spaced out world is concerned it is, indeed, little these days. I live quietly with my Thai wife. She is 70, I am 83. We were married in 1990 in Taiwan. We travelled the world together on both business and pleasure, so it was not so little in those days. BTW, from an old timer, best you calm down, and watch your language.
  16. Poor girl. Horrible treatment. I thought the beating of children in Thailand had been banned by law. It brings back memories of my school days, a long time ago. We were regularly beaten, from the age of eight, with canes or, for minor offences, with slippers. I've always felt there is something seriously wrong with any teacher who inflicts such punishments.
  17. Stalin, Hitler ? Get a grip for heaven's sake.
  18. Reeves once again demonstrating her Marxist background.
  19. '...a growing disconnect with voters'. Sounds like political parties in many so-called democracies.
  20. Be nice if Thais could find the energy to screw down bottle tops firmly.
