  1. Seems like the president has been ignoring this grandchild since before the presidency. I fail to see what this has to do with being president as it is a personal matter.
  2. Saw an interview where Ritchie Blackmore joked he took Beethoven's 5th and played it backwards.
  3. Equally so; If you use the University for your education it should be free. If you need a private tutor you should pay for it.
  4. Well, did the British copy blues and rock from America or not?
  5. I believe prepay makes more sense, but I like the barrier free entry. Simply deduct from the amount added to the account. Anyone passing through without an account can be arrested within a day or two.
  6. I was think more along the lines of giving everyone an opportunity even if they are dirt poor. My university education was free as a kid and it really helped me as my parents were too poor to pay.
  7. Admittedly, I don’t understand why a country charges so much for an education that kids are indebted their whole life. I always assumed that education was a way of giving kids a start in life, so they could later get jobs and help the economy and development of the nation. There are countries that provide free education you know, including most of Western Europe, Slovenia (foreigners can get free education) and others. Why are the military, police and fire service considered free services but not schools?
  8. Thanks for sharing, very good photographs. What camera do you use?
  9. Not the first guest in an interview to walk off in the wrong direction.
  10. Reading the whole story it appears the cat had no role other than scratch the cupboard. However, on further inspection it was noted the cat had scratched the numbers 431.
  11. I'm not dead yet! You look dead. I'm feeling much better now.
  12. Wondering if Pheu Thai managed a consensus to allow Thaksin back?
  13. I beg to differ with one point that the Washington Post wrote. "(They) are once again choosing to put their own desire to cling to power over the will of the majority of Thais." I believe they will make way for an elected government but want that government to be right wing not liberal. Depends how you interpret "cling to power". I think they realize they are out. More likely they want a government that sticks to the accepted manner of government: big budget for the military, no touching the highest institution, a disciplined society obeying the whims of the elite and so on. If history is anything to go by, political parties will once again squabble and the military will once again take over. It takes a smarter party than Move Forward to manage Thailand. But one hopes for the best.
  14. Is no one else surprised that so many AN members STILL believe Fox News? The Dominion case wasn't enough to prove Fox lies?
  15. Can you point me in the direction of a photocopy of a bank statement showing a million dollars deposited into Joe's account? Evidence like that would really prove your point.
  16. Rwanda. A good place to keep people without a visa? I guess Thailand could look into it.
  17. I love my car. A work of art. She can plead temporary insanity. I doubt she would hit a kid under other circumstances if she has no record of abuse.
  18. 20 years ago entered Munich airport a 7am and there was a large person drinking beer with breakfast. Surprised then as it was the first time I had seen this. However, after years of Thai Visa then ASEAN now I understand why religious day alcohol bans cause such an uproar.
  19. When I was a kid there was something called “Thai sticks”. I don’t know what else was smoked with the joint but marijuana doesn’t cause more than sleep.
  20. Chicken and egg situation. Was wine 1,000 baht a bottle before tax went up?
  21. This is what happens when a military junta takes power.
  22. Sorry, but the economic experts are saying: "UK expected to be only major economy to shrink in 2023 - IMF". https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64452995 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/imf-recession-germany-uk-gdp-2023-b2272655.html You may want to address those organizations not me.
  23. I cannot imagine what information he has that has not already been submitted.
