baboon

I received one this morning as well.

And the Check in queues being outrageous...

Exactly. I bet if we were on, say, a Ugandan expat forum, we would be discussing what their government had to say.

I remember Swine Flu. I was struck down with that and it was much worse than Covid...

Indeed. To me, scrapping all restrictions means getting off the plane, having your passport stamped, picking up your bag from the carousel and off you go, not having to justify your existence 15 times beforehand. I don't see those halcyon days returning for quite some time to come if ever.

Well said. We cannot change geopolitical events but to simply hate and go after others because of their passport makes us just as evil as Putin or any other despot. It's what these bast&rds want. Don't give it to them.

Sandbox or Test and Go, I wonder. Let me take a wild guess...

Not the authorities. A private company with charitable status.

Anti England swipe. No wonder the Scots want independence.

I respect your opinion, but I am bloody glad to be out of the shambles that is the Disunited Kingdom. When Covid was at its worst I was frontline. I was dealing with hardcore criminals and mental health patients unleashed on society in a halfway house. For minium wage or a couple of pence extra. Women who had been sexually exploited by their own families and sold on to others. No, I don't think I am cheap, snidey or nasty at all.

To be fair we are not welcomed by the authorities. The people are just fine generally.

They might as well save some money and pollution by shutting up shop at Suvarnabhumi and moving everything back to Don Mueang, then...

Aye, they'll not be needing that third runway and new terminal building at Suvarnabhumi, then...

From the horse's mouth - 'We are a totalitarian state and so what?' Jesus Christ, what an admission....

Boris Johnson's Britain?

Mrs baboon came home tonight telling me full lockdown is imminent. Sounds like bovine excrement to me, but she did seem convinced. Mind you she was at the wrong end of a bottle. Do any other posters have any anecdotal evidence?

Here's hoping you are right and I am wrong...

I would disagree. They still have the ahem, moral authority, but a different one. Send squaddies to different provinces so they won't be shooting their own families. If they still refuse to shoot, the officers shoot them. A state of absolute terror may be needed, but I doubt the great and good would be bothered about that - 'Either we run this place or nobody does'. And as for Chan o-cha, That piece of filth should be in the dock at The Hague for what he has done.

Yes.

That's nowt. I am a practitioner of the ancient Newcastle martial art of How Yee...

Mrs. baboon was in line for a handout until they clocked her surname. She was then basically told to p!ss off. Another woman with a foreign husband received the same treatment. Both women can enjoy hospital care for just a few Baht. I hate the Shinawatras about as much as you, but they are a dream compared to these fascists. Me, I am rooting for the progressive movement. Give the country to the young.

I don't know. But should any bed be blocked by a malingerer?

I would: 'That's a better idea than occupying hospital beds for no reason'. Treatment can be nothing but observation and a couple of Paracetamol.

Then what the bloody hell is he doing blocking a bed, then? Stay at home, take a couple of Paracetamol every 4 hours and stop being such a puff.

Yeah. Here we go again. Eric Blair (Orwell) continues to spin in his grave. He warned us all but it went unheeded. Now look at the state of the world.
