    Sob! Sob! Vlad doesn't love me any more!

    So if I walked in to the shop and asked for a 'double shot short black', what would I get? (I do understand that one cannot order that in Usofa. I remember the first time I visited the US from Oz my friends all reminded me : "Don't whatever you do ask for a short black!")

    China's greedy eyes have long focussed on eastern Siberia, where large numbers of Chinese migrants have crossed the border and taken up residence over many years ...

    Floating the baht more freely might help ...

    But of course - in all of this - the one thing the calculating pollies will be thinking is that we mustn't at any cost hold another 'free' election by The People. Cos those silly ignorants would just vote for the young revolutionaries again, in even greater numbers, and that's a disaster we must not face again.

    Yes, though we need to be careful about what we wish for ... What eventually rises to the scum-covered surface may not be better.

    Of course Pezeshkian is not the real boss ...

    Something nice for once.

    I would have run screaming into my house, locked every door and got the vacuum cleaner at the ready.

    I'm wondering whose suicide is involved.
  11. mfd101
    Oh dear, this is becoming a habit.

    Certainly the post-return Thaksin has proven less clever (more obvious) than we expected.
  13. mfd101
    Golly, and not the Thais? I can't imagine why ... Jokes aside, try getting your Thai partner in to Oz. Much the same. 20 pages of details required to support the assertion that they won't overstay or work illegally.

    You might want to check the figures for Poland's economic growth over the last decade ...
  15. mfd101
    Some people manage to overcome the stereotypes. I'm guessing that Mexico is moving steadily forward, like Poland, Vietnam, Burkina Faso & others ...
  16. mfd101
    Notice how names are important. I guess in the Philippines it's called the West Sea, and in Indonesia the North Sea ...

    So that's alright then. Just keep spending on our new toys and we won't be more revolting than usual.

    Same thing every year. The monsoon is well under way, flooding has started ... and The Guvamint calls a meeting to consider the possibility of anti-flooding measures at an unknown date in the future. Pathetic. Never changes.

    I'm 76 but I'm aiming for 100+.

    The key thing is to supply maximum evidence that noone in the group has an interest in overstaying or working illegally. So: evidence of current employment, property and incomes in Thailand would be helpful; evidence of a previous crime-free visit; the wedding invitation details are good; Thai police criminal record clearance ...

    That's part of the local culture in Thailand, at every level of society. No concept of preventing a disaster with forethought, just pretty good at picking up the pieces afterwards (cf collapsed building a couple of months ago).

    I'll believe it when I see a whole central government department up and move to Korat.
  23. mfd101
    And surely that's an opportunity - not to reduce classrooms and teacher training - but to reduce the size of classes so the over-worked teachers can do what (in theory) they are employed to do!

    The knives are out and getting sharper by the day.
  25. mfd101
    So the fall in enrolments is caused by what? A population statistic (ie fewer babies being born in the modern world)? Or parents not thinking the effort is worthwhile? Or students not interested? ???
