“Insufficient evidence” means someone cannot be convicted. Forensic evidence, security cameras, eye witness accounts are needed. Knowing someone is not enough.

Most candidates in US presidential elections have many shortcomings. Trump has more than any other in living memory. He is ethically and morally unfit to be president.

UK State Pension is frozen, meaning no annual increases ever, living in Thailand, Australia, Canada etc. However, it is not frozen, meaning you do get annual increases living in USA, Philippines and EU countries. Of course this is grossly inequitable as State Pension is based on number of years of NI contributions, to a max of 35 years for full pension. Without the annual increases it loses value in real terms. UK governments have been lobbied for years to change this inequity but all have refused to do so.

Demand-driven pricing for airlines these days. As more tickets are sold for a flight, the price goes up. And using attractive headline price to grab attention, with lots of extras like bags, seat, card payment fee then added. Bangkok Airways have higher prices, fewer add-ons, better level of service and lounge to use at BKK if you are transferring to another flight with them. For cheaper domestic flights at times others don’t want to fly, eg Tues late evening in low season.

Long time Republicans rejecting Trump, whose adherence to the democratic process, selfless serving of the nation and outstanding ethical and moral leadership qualities have captured the imagination of highly educated middle America. Wonder if Cheney has noticed something all those Americans have missed?

Serving the nation? As a model of ethical and moral leadership? Putting the interests of the country before any possible personal and business gain? Showing true adherence to the democratic process? Is this what you mean, or something different?

“Revolutionise Thai logistics”, that’s quite a claim. No evidence of that.

“Drops bombshells”. Even with journalistic hyperbole, it’s hard to see this. A bit of a non-event really.

Both are unfit for office. One due to age and clear cognitive deficits, the other is ethically and morally bankrupt.

‘Move down inside the train, please’ in a polite but confident voice is enough. No need to use f word to others or the response may be different. Not that hard.

Not hard to find the types 123Stodg describes, or to hear their loud, over confident voices. But the case is overstated, most Westerners spending more time here show more wisdom and respect, don’t need to shout their mouth off and happily avoid the bars those ignorant types inhabit.

Good to see authorities targeting scammers. It’s a growing international menace that targets ordinary people who are not tech-savvy. Let’s applaud every effort to stop scammers.

Educated, aware Thai men know the difference between bar girls, holiday girlfriends, mia noi and the genuine women who they might one day marry. It seems some foreigners in Thailand have not grasped this, even as their bank account gets emptied.

You mean your petty prejudices and extreme stereotyping lead you to imagine that people from Britain “are always the same”. Well, in my experience Brits are certainly not always the same and it’s perverse to say they are.

Perhaps this Matthew is a supporter of ‘Tommy’?
