I don't understand why so many people have such an aversion to taking their passports with them when they go to the bank, Is it really such a big deal to slip it into ones pocket ? Its no bigger than ones bank book and fits easily into ones pocket. Are people worried about forgetting it ? well they could always tie a knot in their handkerchief , along side the knots that help them to remember their bankbook and their pink card Or is it all further evidence to support the theory that a lot of blokes tend to get a bit weird and cantankerous once they get to a certain age ? They start to get a bit obsessive about matters that don't particularly bother other people at all. Often working themselves up into a geriatric frenzy over nothing.

Funny actually has several different meanings funny as in amusing , and funny as in peculiar you were aware of that right? I would say its somewhat peculiar that a non arabic speaker would scream out in arabic prior to killing themselves Whatever language they speak the world would be a better place without any of them

Its hilarious when they blow themselves to pieces , just not when innocent people are injured or killed,

here we go again, I did not say bombs are funny I could have said "they all scream ally akbar before blowing themselves up , how strange. It does not mean I think bombs are strange

Yet they all scream ally akbar before they blow themselves up , even funnier,

And what are you doing ? making up your spare room to accommodate a few of them ?

no idea perhaps you could enlighten me , on second thoughts don't bother I really don't care

I only carry my passport on three occasions 1) visiting the bank which occurs once every blue moon when my ATM card expires, 2) Visiting immigration once of twice a year, and 3) when travelling . Not too onerous really in my opinion

And when the judge finds him guilty will you still protest his innocence? Of course you will

they all have plenty to hide, how much they each have to hide is almost certainly directly proportional to their rank. he was 2nd in command so he will have more than most. Its a racing certainty

He was virtually in control of what is generally considered to be one of if not the most corrupt organisations in the world, That really should be enough for most on here to have their suspicions . As foreigners none of us have any more to go on. Certainly nothing to convince us as to his innocence, Those maintaining his innocence are a rather strange breed, Some seem to have developed what can only be described as a crush on him, I can think of no other explanation

after they have sold any details to a call center gang

They may well delay it a bit longer as a result of the floods. Are there any AN members who are employed in a minimum wage job here in Thailand I thought the 10000 baht was now limited to the disabled ?

No mention of cannabis in the OP so why you chose to write "reefer madness" is anybody's guess It clearly stated that he was under the influence of alcohol, Why would you be suggesting he should drink more,? I think he's in enough trouble

That is not what I said !!!!!!! 5555555 I said that the vast majority of non muslims who act as apologists for them cannot speak arabic. Read it again a bit slower this time.

Yet another benefit of multiculturalism in America I believe

As far as I remember, virtually any dealings with the bank have always involved them photocopying my passport I wonder why they don't scan it . Another organisation that must have literally millions of reams of Photocopied passports stored insecurely somewhere or do the just throw them in the skip at the end of their shift?

It would take a lot more than salt to improve the "flavour " of Allowrie ! although a light dusting of lizards piss might just take the edge off it

There is no butter that tastes as strange as that Thai "allowrie " avoid it like the plague. Lurpak and embourg are probably the best available here . However the local lotus often has some french offerings which are pretty good too I'm using one called "Candia" at the moment the list price is expensive at just under 200bt but none of the thais will be buying it so its a case of waiting until the sell by date approaches as the price will be cut by at least 50% there is always plenty left so I generally buy around 6 packs and stick it in the freezer. Also I fully agree, if it ain't salted its not butter

we used to dream of gravel......

Everybody has their car checked once a year , its a requirement for obtaining road tax. Other than those with new cars who have warranty obligations does anybody actually have their car checked by a main dealer on a regular basis?. There is actually very little to check on a car these days that one cannot do oneself Tyres ? a visual inspection is well within most peoples ability, Oil ? not hard to use a dip stick or to remember the mileage when it was last changed, lights? self explanatory , Brakes, plenty of warning lights will indicate when they are wearing thin well before they need replacing Many moons ago I would occasionally visit a main dealer I stopped when I realised that on such occasions I should arrive with my underpants on back to front and a tub of lube ready for the shafting they would try to administer If it aint broke dont fix it My car is nearly 18 years old has not seen the inside of a main dealership since the warranty ran out . still going strong and never had a problem with it They make more money "checking " cars than they do selling them and there is a good reason why their favorite customers are unaccompanied women, or westerners with more money than sense

not that delicious either

Bacon Egg and Black Pudding + HP

I rarely see any muslims condemning the countless atrocities committed in the name of their religion. There are many examples of non muslims condemning wars or acts of aggression involving non muslims an example being the many street protests in America during the vietnam war or more recently the condemnations of Russias activities in Ukraine and indeed the misguided souls now criticising the Israelis for there response to a terrorist attack by muslims (who else) As to your other point about drug dealing, have a guess who control the heroin supply around leeds , Bradford and west yorkshire generally? Its the pakistanis, the same "community" that appear to have the monopoly on grooming underage girls

I did not compare people to snakes, I used the often unjustified fear of snakes as an analogy to explain about the reasons for islamophobia When people say for example "he is like a fish out of water" they are not equating anybody to being a fish they are using the analogy of a fish out of water to help describe somebody who is uncomfortable in their environment or when they say " the black sheep of the family " it is not a racist reference to "people of colour" merely a way of saying that somebody differs somewhat from the rest of their siblings , not necessarily in colour either. Do I like muslims? not particularly, Am I wary of them ? yes , does that make me a bigot? maybe it does ! I make no secret of this I have made many posts and comments. that i know full well people like you will respond with accusations of bigot etc But to target a relatively innocuous post using the analogy of Ophidiophobia, to explain the existence of islamophobia, as an example of bigotry, has to be evidence of desperation on your part. Well either that or you just don't understand "analogy" Where did you say you came from? oh yes you notably avoided answering that question (again)
