St Kilda up by 11 points at 3/4 time. Has been a good game. Saints led by 24 at 1/2 time. Geelong got to the front in the 3rd quarter but St Kilda struck back. One can only hope for an upset.

I tipped Geelong but hope Saints will win.

Chooks will be happy.

As the most loyal of Saints fans he wil enjoy gettimg another tip correct this week

It was a great win. Membrey nearly lost it for for them with his shocking kick at goal.

Good result for the Swans

great win.

well done Chooks for picking them

No didn't. You still one tip ahead of me.

The Thai economy has apparently been booming, growing and smashing all records since the coup. Just waiting for Prayuth to announce that the world declares Thailand the economic hub of the world.

Will and I are equal at the moment, same tips and same margin. C. Comes before W. So I lead on the ladder

At least they didn't blame it on a ghost.

They didn't have to. Case was simple, money paid and no need for scapegoats. It's also the annual ghost picnic so they weren't available.

Originally tipped freo to win tonight but just changed my tip. Rain and hail expected and coldest day in 21 years, temperature expected to be around 5 degrees for the game and might be a little harsh for the boys from the west coast area.

Thanks for letting us know before hand your tip, yep not an easy game to tip but neither team has sparkled this season so is it going to be the under achieving Freo in Melbourne on a miserable winters night that has begun some momentum with a few wins together or a disappointing Magpies scratch scratch who have fallen somewhere between flat and 3/4 chokers, the weather is more likely going to be kinder to Freo than the Pies if you want to take that into consideration Mr Chooks.

well that's good you are going freo Alex. I'm only two off top spot so it might edge me one closer.

It appears that everyone on this topic is in agreement, which is nice to see. The whole decision of an accident and no fault is disgusting and insensitive to the families. I am so glad the Thai apologists haven't come out with thier incentive posts of, this is Thailand and if you don't like it bugger off.

Did they stop off for a holiday on their way to Australia as economic refugees.

An accident and no one is responsible, are they bloody joking? Who was responsible for locking the doors, the lack of supervision of children and the inadequate fire safety. This is absolutely disgusting.

Prayuth really is nervous and insecure. He really will be shitting his pants and running for the airport if his guns start questioning him. He had better hope he retains power until the day he dies.

Thousands attending a political rally

Most important of all, officers got to use modern technology to help identify and find the suspects.

What exactly was the modern technology? Was it a hold up alarm connected to a police station, was it the telephone, the motorcycle, CCTV or the ability to get off thier backsides and follow a script. None of this is modern technology and the way they responded is very outdated, time exausting and ineffective.

Modern police forces don't monitor holdup alarms as resources are used in a proactive manner ie: patrols. Private security companies who have a direct connection to a central police communications center monitor alarms. The communications center will then immediately dispatch the closest patrol which is determined by thier GPS position, other patrol units will provide back up by patrolling the area waiting for updates from the responding unit.

This receiving a phone call at the police station, then speaking to superiors who then formulate a plan, attend the scene, Sit down and view CCTV footage, formulate another plan and then personally pursue the offenders is time wasting and ineffective in real life situations.

Is it road strategy time again? Time goes so fast, what's the food and drinks on the menu this time? Back to normal next week in planning the next free dinner for the next road strategy meeting.

Thais love to dump rubbish wherever they can. Went back to our home in chiangmai after a couple of months in Australia to be greeted with a pile of rubbish in our yard. Everything from household garbage to garden pruning. Cost us 600 baht to have it cleaned up and taken away. Two heavily loaded pickups.

When is the Mad Monk and Suthep going to be charged and summoned for their political gatherings? Oh that's right their team is currently holding both the bat and ball and no one else can play.

Killed 9 inocent people, 138 hours community service of her choice. She is damn lucky she didn't have an E cigarette or she would be looking at serious jail time.

In the other thread about the UN,they said any organisation can take part in observations, but they would not be allowed at the polling stations.

? this is so confusing.

Yes, they can have a monitoring committee .

No, they can't.

Yes, they can.

No, they can't.

It's against the law (maybe ).

Let me check they say.

I am seriously confused these days.

what about the general's comment, what country would allow observers? This was whilst he was packing his bag to head off to the Philippines to observe the elections.

Speaking on behalf of others again, the EU is happy with the fishing industry, then they get threatened with sanctions. The world is happy with thier human trafficking record and efforts but the tier remains the same and told to act. The world is happy with the Junta but it's still not recognised as a government.

If they make comments on behalf of others then back it up with some evidence or else the words mean about as much as a bargirl saying you're handsome and I love you and only you very much.

it's only off the grill tray bloody hell isn't the end of the world ...

It possibly could have been the end of the world if he swallowed it.

The main thing here seems to be insulting the military and not violence against women. Appears the junta is far more important than the citizens it commands.

Are the tobacco companies pulling a few strings. I thought people turn to E cig in a bid to kick the nicotine habit.

But but but we are the world's business Hub, foreign investors are killing each other in the rush to invest in the junta. We will let maintain 49% of your business if you supply 100% of the capital and if you don't agree we will slap a defamation charge on you and steal the other 49%.

A historic moment. We are witnessing a new Thaksin in the making.

if this had anything to do with Thaksin, then then monk would have been dragged out by his by his pubic hairs. The guy is aligned to Prayuth and his rich mates, that is why nothing is being done.
