  1. Hard to know exactly what is going to happen. Could be that the "negotiations" will lead to Pita being allowed to be PM if he agrees to certain restrictions, or it could be that this is not given the go-ahead and something else will occur. The only certainty is that nothing is certain. As is usually the rule, if you have to make things up, attack the person, etc., it indicates you cannot form a valid argument. This appears to be true for you here.
  2. To choose the PM that they want. Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off. Whose junta? My junta? What on Earth are you talking about? You have to be pro-junta simply to discuss what the senate might do? What a stupid thing to suggest.
  3. "The people are your masters Listen to them" Nice idea, but I don't think that it is true.
  4. Vote for someone else? In what circumstances would there be another election? The senate can simply pick someone else.
  5. It's cultural. The person who causes another to lose face is always the one in the wrong.
  6. It would mean a little more if they had some figures that were a little more significant. A slight blip after the biggest holiday in Thailand, then a slight blip after kids going back to school is expected and acceptable. Without huge outbreaks in schools to indicate a real problem, no one is going to care. Nor should they. The message should be "You're doing a great job. Keep it up". Unless they have some sort of ulterior motive.
  7. Back to the old ways. Very sad. Thaksin looking to buy his way into power and politicians waiting to see how they can cash in. And people say the coup took away the "democratically elected" government... ????
  8. "It's Thaksin o'clock. Do you know where your votes are?"
  9. And mostly it's because they aren't happy, they have another guy in their sights, and they want a license to cheat.
  10. Open relationships do not work. What you are experiencing is your open relationship not working. Time to close or end your open relationship.
  11. No cannabis sales between 3-6pm like with alcohol. Problem solved.
  12. He most certainly is not alone. It would be really weird for a 17 year old to be running the show. Perhaps his job is to recruit the girls and liaise with the punters as his youth puts them at ease. (And possibly he is young and impressionable enough that "Mr. Big" can get him to do whatever he wants, including taking the wrap.)
  13. So they were illegal Cambodian monks or illegal immigrants?
  14. Thailand will have lost something if it gets to the point where everyone feels they have to hide their valuables and lock everything away.
  15. How will putting a massive crack in the wall help avoid collapse? Does it release pressure or something?
  16. Isn't political conflict good? We want politicians constantly challenging each other on both sides, surely? To hold each other accountable and ensure that policy is well thought out and debated?
  17. They'll be anti-establishment while they think it will help them get what they want, then fully pro-establishment once they have succeeded. Basically they are "pro-what-they-want". This is why most political/ideological movements should be treated with a huge amount of scepticism. Especially those that talk about "the greater good" or "the will of the people".
  18. Now there's a character. I seem to remember he had a brother. He sold frying pans. Can't remember his name though... ????
  19. People are still demanding a referendum on leaving the EU? That's kind of weird.
  20. A total guess, but it's possible that they wanted to make the room cheaper, to make it easier to rent, and avoid having to pay maintenance on the AC unit.
  21. They only had the referendum because of the popularity of UKIP and to shut people up. Hence the wild claims, the lack of campaigning for remain, and the lack of proper thought put into what would actually happen if leave won. Seems quite obvious to me. ????‍♂️
  22. This is only days before. The campaign went on for months.
  23. But don't you "run" a farm to make money? The "running" presumably involves growing or rearing something that is then sold.
