  1. Lock then up in male prisons? Should do the trick.
  2. Most countries understand that slow motorbikes should not use roads where traffic is very fast. Better to allow those with 200-250 cc engines up as they can keep up. I see policemen on the expressways in Bangkok riding their 125 cc bikes on the hard shoulder. I have ridden bikes on European motorways at 100 mph without trouble. I fear Thais are just not trained to do that at present.
  3. This landbridge idea has been discussed for decades and will never happen because it would hurt the Singapore economy. Originally it was to be a canal, like Suez or Panama. Why a canal? Because a railway would mean unloading the ships then loading goods back on at the other end and therefore be rather inefficient compared to just sailing straight through.
  4. Yes, force them into the army, teach them to shoot anyone they are ordered to shoot. Teach them how to break someone's body parts with their bare hands. Stick that bayonet into the guts of a human and twist it so their intestines flop to the floor. Then let them back into civilian life.
  5. Being Jewish is nothing to do with race. It is a religion, the same as being Muslim or Christian. If the left wing of Labour is culled, then they should stand as independents, like Jeremy Corbyn. If the people of Hackney have voted for her for 37 years, it is Labour's (and Starmer's) loss.
  6. I can't wait to be taken on a tour of the boat. With the other tourists, as it sits in dry dock.
  7. No Thais working in Hong Kong then?
  8. Maybe the word "arrested" is incorrect. Normally, overstayers are pulled aside and fined, then let go (I always thought).
  9. Fair comment. I do know a few Indian billionaires personally and they would never stay in an Airbnb though.
  10. No Muslim comments that Allah had killed him as punishment I see.
  11. So, he did or didn't pass the secrets to a foreign power? Or he shared them with Americans who were not in the government? I suppose we will know eventually.
  12. So, maybe someone can comment - will this slow down spending by local consumers by raising prices, leading to more inflation? It isn't like VAT will go back to help people but more likely buy more aircraft carriers and submarines.
  13. Thanks. Do Indians get 30 day vacations normally? Most Thais get 1-2 weeks.
  14. The tax base in Thailand is incredibly small. Perhaps registering everyone isn't such a bad idea. Lots of Benzes around. I know someone who has a good business but "negotiates" an amount whenever a tax man comes around. No one wants to pay unless you teach them they are not exempt.
  15. One earthquake does not a climate change make. One earthquake does not a climate change make. One earthquake does not a climate change make.
  16. "Celebate ecclesiastics" are two words that should never go together.
  17. If it is brought in for industrial use by manufacturers and repurposed by rapists, what's the plan? Close factories down?
  18. I had a browser and found out: The Hotel Act of 2004, specifies that it is illegal to operate a hotel business without a license. But it seems homes can be rented out under some circumstances, so partially right
  19. Hard to believe all had the same strong body odor. What on earth happened on that plane?
  20. I thought Airbnb was illegal here? I may have missed some news. I suppose if they bring in the tourist dollars it doesn't matter.
