If hundreds of cops here can't find ANY prostitutes, or any illegal motor bike taxis, you have to say they aren't worthy to call themselves cops. I could find dozens of both without even trying.

Excellent news and an award he thoroughly deserves.

I hope he will also be receiving a substantial payout from a foul mouthed billionaire in due course, which he also thoroughly deserves too.

i just don't see how a socialist with dreams of sharing the wealth could ever succeed to be elected...

Martin Luther King, said "I have a dream" and look how that worked out. People wanting an education or a half sensible job no longer had to be white.

Socialism abounds in America from every public library and youth sports coaching programme, to the Statue of Liberty itself, built with the peoples money as an embodiment of what the country was supposed to represent.

You are quite right that big business and powerful lobbies stand in the path of people down the pecking order being given a little help. And it is these same profit making bodies who espouse the lie that socialism is evil, to the very people they are oppressing, and whom would be the major benefactors of change.

Bernie represents that desire for truth and change, and many people seem very enthused to follow his call. God only knows, he couldn't be worse than the current bloke in charge.

Well, there is one set of rules for poor people picking mushrooms and another set for those with heaps of money. Disgraceful as it is, that is Thailand. Premchai deserves to spend time in jail, but like others of his ilk, he will never even set foot in the jail, let alone serve out his sentences.

Kitti Photjananuphap, 38, is also the head of a national Thai amulet association and is known widely as "Tam Paet Rew".

Hysterical. Love to know how he is going to explain to his members, that not one of his amulets gave him any protection whatsoever. Possibly the only thing that could be funnier, would be a fortune teller getting robbed, and telling the cops they didn't see it coming.

The 1.8 tons of drugs, which have an estimated estimated street value of $835 million,

That's a lot of lost cash. Knowing what a friendly bunch of people drug runners are, you have to hope some are unable to pay what they owe and are rewarded with a new and deserved career, pushing up daisies.

A lot of people lives would get messed up with that amount of ice, and every bit the cops and customs get, the better.

I am a little surprised he didn't get kicked out of here after the previous problems, including theft of a motorbike and overstay, not to mention the involvement in a very suspicious death.

Cops have got him now though, so one less dirtbag sullying the good name of the majority of us.

Hope they give him a lifetime ban on the way out.

Have to say the fellas blog was pretty boring up until the point where the fight starts. Had a good laugh at that point.

The camera work became shoddy as the fight started, which I would have liked to have watched, though I guess it is difficult to stay focused when you are being punched in the head.

I bet he wasn't crying when he took the tourists money though was he? Smug POS would have been smiling ear to ear.

There has already been a vote. The UK voted to leave. End of. You shouldn't be able to change the result just because you didn't like the outcome that the country voted for. 

I voted to leave, so am not whining about the result. I have though, not seen what I was told I was voting for materialise, and it seems if we do go, it may well be in a way that is detrimental to the country. I would definitely like the opportunity to see the issue voted on again, this time though with a precise picture of how we are leaving, its benefits and consequences, rather than the pile of lies from the last vote. And I think it is this last part, about people having been misled, which makes many want to see it done again, but properly and honestly this time.

Have you ever seen shoplifters here?

Nope, never saw one. Seen a heap of trolls on this forum though.

Got to say posting about one possible shoplifter to start a thread that seems designed to get some backpacker and Thai bashing going could easily be seen to fit into that category. Got anything better?

Judge for yourself.

Judging by the smiles of those helping him, they clearly seem to think he is drunk. If he was genuinely sick, they would probably have looked concerned rather than laughing. Regardless, if he has a medical condition which causes him to have balance problems, he should NOT be allowed to ride a bike as he is a danger to himself and others.

Maybe they will make it a job reserved for foreigners only?

I think we all know how that would work out. The locals would stand around applauding you while you did it, then applaud the immigration police for arresting you for no work permit when you have finished.

Leaving the question of why he was travelling on a fake passport with a serious wad of cash to one side, or where said cash will end up, and coming back to the issue of facial recognition systems.

Scoring 16%, 16%, 0% and obviously looking nothing like the dark looking fella on the far right of the picture, so another probable 0%, does this mean that he has lost face?

Something I thought anathema in this part of the world.

I wonder how that system would handle dealing with my passport photo and me in real time, after a serious night or weekend on the piss? 1. ???? 2. ???? (That number 2 emoji, quite appropriately being the "pile of poo" emoji.)

If the above photo is anything to go by there is going to be a fair amount of mutton dressed as lamb down there, but enough foxes to make popping down there for a good perv a possibility.

Firefighters took about an hour to put out the blaze, while the approximately 4,500 chickens aboard cried out loudly in apparent fright of the fire.

Chickens aren't that stupid then. I somehow suspect if I was trapped and was watching my mates get burnt to death around me, I would be crying out quite loudly from serious fright too.

the alleged order by the president to fire Mueller and attempt to coerce McGahn to lie about it could amount to committing the crime of obstruction.

Whatever may or may not be in the Mueller report the obstruction continues. Ordering someone not to testify to congress, is in itself obstructing their investigation. Trump has got away with it for so long, he must think he is bullet proof. I wonder how many more peoples careers he will ruin trying to avoid the truth, a subject which of course he has very little association with.

Daily News said that a meeting was told that there are 5.3 million unpaid traffic fines since the start of this year alone.

I somehow suspect there will be a similar number of unpaid road tax before the end of the year then. Whatever else will they come up with? They will be insisting everyone get a driving licence next.

dodging the questions looks a little shady..

True, although it may be as simple as not wanting to get stabbed again.

And this is low season. If they can't cope now it will be absolute chaos come November. Even a quick look at the number of boats down there and it is obvious that Bali Hai is totally unable to deal with the volume, even if all the operators worked a set schedule. Has to be chalked up as another complete fail by the council, on top of the countless other ones before. It is in truth, hard to remember when they ever actually got anything right. Incompetence and stupidity seem to be the qualifications required to sit on it.

I really wish they could do away with these pointless reenactments, which serve no practical purpose, other than a photo op for the cops, but which doesn't take into consideration the feelings of the victim.

Absolutely. Aside from anything else, the reenactment of the "mounting" is just plain rotten. I hope the victim doesn't ever have to see such uncaring self aggrandizement from the cops.

If all 250 senators vote the same way,

Well we might see 249 to 1 occasionally I guess, but otherwise I think its bloc vote is pretty much a given. All of them are puppets with votes. Why else would they be there?

The story featured a great bit of pointing by a rescue service man

As pointing is normally used for identifying suspects, I think he is trying to tell us that God did it.
