Bday Prang

You have disappointed me Malcolm, I never thought you would get carried away by the hype No need to wait until 31st of October to enjoy a black lipsticked <deleted>, I generally carry a black lipstick whilst mongering, meaning I can enjoy such activities at any time.

Enough said, pass the sick bag I can't hold it back any longer

Pumpkin curry is a common meal in Thailand , especially up in issan. There is nothing inherently spooky or special about it

Imaginary events celebrated by simple minded savages during times gone by. is In a way it was understandable, they genuinely believed they were honouring some form of ancient deity, as to why iit continues, you hit the nail on the head , money, pure and simple. Although why people are so easily convinced to "worship" at the altar of commercial greed in these modern times is a mystery to me These events apparently now have a major effect on the economies of countries, just look on the news as they enthusiastically broadcast how much money has been spent ( or rather wasted) further evidence that we are doomed in my opinion

You need to get out a bit more, it is all over my local big c and lotus and there were several stalls at the local weekly market selling associated junk. it will also be celebrated at many of the large hotel chains , probably on a "compulsory" basis like they do with new year

Never understood tourists who will travel halfway around the world to "experience a different culture" yet end up attending events like this which are not really part of any culture. When I first arrived here around 30 years ago there was no mention of halloween and little mention of Christmas, Now its all becoming a bit nauseating, for many people, like myself, our annual migration was not only to escape the winter weather but also to avoid christmas I find it rather pathetic to watch even the news readers here presenting, whilst dressed in father christmas costumes surrounded by the usual christmas decorations If we tried this marketing strategy in regard to foreign Buddhist or islamic festivals in the UK the lefties would have a field day , screaming "cultural misappropriation" at the top of their voices

"Halloween", another formerly low key non event that has been seized as an opportunity to separate people from their hard earned cash by desperate businesses. Just like "mothers day" "fathers day" and "valentines day" , purely the work of marketing types, In the UK they will have had pumpkins and all the other associated junk for sale in the shops for weeks ! Entire supermarket aisles taken over with junk, Some people even taking out short term leases and opening temporary shops just to cash in on this b/s. Not all supermarkets behave in such a shallow manner of course, some will have already dedicated half their floor space to Christmas junk

Whats a "pedofile" is it something similar to a PDF.

could ask you the same question

which prudish dinosaurs ? and who will replace them?

Got to agree about wokeism spoiling things, Looking through Netflix last night I could not help noticing how many movies of the action genre now have a female as the main subject, Assassins, snipers, gangsters, cops, bodyguards, spies, bank robbers, in fact just about all the roles traditionally featuring men seem to have changed virtually overnight to feature women. I certainly don't mind a bit of variety but it is becoming a bit boring , and these films are generally rubbish too

Its amazing they managed to find the time to indulge in any church related activities at all. Seems that they live a life of non stop sodomy and depravity, Any other organisation behaving like this would have been shut down years ago. Why haven't this band of kiddie fiddling charlatans all been locked up ? The church is at it, the leftie liberals are encouraging it with their "M.A.P" "classification" and we have twisted perverts dressed as "women" reading stories to 6 year old kids. What example are they setting ? and what could possibly go wrong?

No surprises there then, expect others to follow suit

I have often witnessed people doing the most incredibly stupid things and wondered, WTF ,we all have, but I don't get inspired to start threads over it. Not enough hours in the day for one thing. But maybe you're right , I think I need to get out a bit more

I'm no expert, but I don't think selling vitamins ,has provided them with 23 luxury sports cars, as far as I know the big money is generated by convincing others to sign up to the scheme.

why would any normal person concern themselves with how others choose to travel, Absolutely unbelievable . get a life

I would imagine that happens all the time, almost without fail. Would you honestly expect such matters to be discussed openly?

They don't get it because they don't want to get it. The whole nation is full of greedy individuals who's love of money and idolisation of those who are perceived to have it, is rivalled only by their worship of celebrities. The country is full of gullible weak minded fools, its a scammers paradise. And don't forget how these pyramid / ponzi schemes work, the majority of those crying that they have been scammed out of money, would have only gone on to scam others below them in the pyramid. These schemes can be very lucrative for those at the top , and are always a complete disaster for all the others who join later There was never any money to be made selling vitamins or any of that rubbish, the real money was made by getting other victims to sign up Bearing in mind the money these scammers have made, the lifestyles they openly lead, and the famous celebrities involved I 'm not quite sure how the media, police , and even the victims actually feel about all this. Is it considered a positive to have been scammed by people who are rich and (now) famous? Nothing would surprise me anymore

I guess this will keep the cops busy for a while, Their absolute first priority will be to establish exactly how much money and assets are on the table, and that could take months if not longer. Only once that has been established will negotiations be able to begin in earnest,The actual legalities or otherwise are a secondary concern as indeed are the losses suffered by those who have been scammed All that is needed now is another headline grabbing scandal to distract the attention from this, and the spoils can be quietly divvied up, will probably never hear what eventually happens to the scammers, I doubt any of them will serve significant jail time, but I'm inclined to think they are facing a financial hit Looks like Christmas has arrived early for the new national police chief and his crew

Well for a start its not "their" society is it, and why certain members insist on "reminding" the rest of us that the country is corrupt and doesn't suit them is really a mystery to me. Stating the obvious to garner "likes" is a rather sad pastime, People stating "quality tourist" at every perceived opportunity is another depressing example

Many barely know their parents, and the absence of a father is always a recipe for disaster. Most kids here have little concept of right and wrong and what little they do have vanishes with the onset of adolescence, and rarely returns

No need to give them real guns, just give them a brush and a shovel, and set them to work on the golf courses like they already do. The important thing is to get them away from their mothers / grandmothers and force some discipline into them

This happened in Khon Kaen, they have their own prison there, I don't understand the obsession some members have with the bangkok prisons.

I know of this because I have been in an ambulance which did exactly that , just to jump the queue, There were 4 of us in it all allegedly covid positive and all asymptomatic so no real emergency at all. He drove normally initially then later went a bit berserk when held up in traffic. On with the flashing lights and the siren and weaving in and out of traffic like a madman,

They are unlikely to lock him up in a foreign jail
