  1. Bringing back the seniors discount would be a good start. It went when Thai Airways took over Thai Smile.
  2. I overheard some one talking in the bar, sounds like the going rate is ฿200,000 in a brown envelope.
  3. Remember Timothy Leary, Nixon called him the most dangerous man in the USA. I think he was promoting acid.
  4. Sure they are on hold I would have bet on it. Why do you think he gave a couple of weeks notice , he was seeing how much blow back he was going to get from his own people. Also by holding off he can get brownie points for being a reasonable guy. He has the makings of a good poker player.
  5. If you want a small business start with a large one and wait a few months
  6. In the US throwing people in jail is a business. Putting people in jail for a bag of weed costs the tax payers dearly, money that could be spent on health and education.
  7. In the 40's just after the war when butter was rationed we would get it from family in Wales. It would come wrapped in a rhubarb leaf as there was no plastic
  8. War is good for business if you are in the death business.
  9. How many bad decisions are judges allowed before they are removed?
  10. Why isn't the US on this list they are the ones screwing the UK not China?
  11. Sto handing money to Ukraine and buy Russian gas. Tell the US that if they can match Russia's prices you will buy their gas.
  12. Canada and the UK don't have a working man's party anymore. In Canada the NDP has been taken over by queers and tree huggers. In the UK ,New Labour has been taken over by fancy lawyers and public school boys. As peoples standard of living improved trade unions became less relevant, I think that's the problem, people have forgotten that without trade unions they would be making$1.50 an hour.
  13. I hated Latin in school, dropped out after a year. It was a requirement back then if you wanted to go into law, so I became an engineer not a lawyer. Win or loose a lawyer gets paid even if his client hangs. With engineering you have to win every time or you are in a load of trouble. That's why I would have preferred to be a lawyer, less liability ,less pressure.
  14. Right now the US is strong enough it can bully anyone but when that changes and it will, there is a long list of nations ready to stick it to them.Trump is making the list longer.
  15. No ,we need to keep the government out, if they are in control we will only get what they want us to see. Bad enough with the corporate news outlets. They have managed to close off most Russian news sources calling it propaganda while calling their own propaganda news.
  16. Yes polarization is a problem. I am never in agreement with everything any party stands for. I agree with more of what the Dems have to say but that does not mean that the GOP doesn't have a few good points.
  17. Zuckerberg owns the site, he can ban whoever he wants. Giving Trump $25 million is disgusting, for sure he bought something but we will never know. Outright corruption with no attempt to hide it.
  18. Once a month isn't too much ,wasn't Prayut on every night interrupting scheduled programs.
  19. I prefer to have a gecko in my house than what he is eating. If he has no food he will go .
  20. I feel sorry for the lawyers, had the trough pulled out from under them.
  21. City slickers won't get it but if you live in a village there is a guy shows up with a large cage on his truck and trades plastic buckets for unwanted dogs. They take them through Laos to Vietnam where they end up on the barbie.
  22. Where is that guy with the plastic buckets when you need him?
  23. Ahh but the GOP has the supreme court ,that will take a while to fix.
  24. In the west If the offender has limited funds the government has first dibbs leaving the victim uncompensated. I've seen it happen many times . A drunk hit my friends car did $2000 worth of damage, had no insurance. He was fined $2000, that's all he had so my friend was stuck with the repair bill. Another time two blokes stole a load of beer. They were caught and one paid a $200 fine and the other $400 but he was not compensated for his beer. So a system that puts the victim first has its merits.
  25. Well done Paul, doing what the government should be doing.
