If when you say Cassandra you mean a pompous self-deluded fool, I am sure many who know you think that of you. A prophet of things to come, not so much.

Why do you say "old farts"? Pattaya is full of reprobates of all ages. As far as wanting to think "that their lives are relevant", silly comment. They are there for reasons immediately obvious to the most casual observer as your photo illustrates.

I'm very proud of gg who has recently become a statistical researcher. I don't remember hearing about this until recently. Congrats on your new profession,

I like Pattaya. I wish I could go there more often. Darn job in Bangkok cuts into my free time.

I think it's just a numbers thing. Lots of Brits are here and a few are bad actors. Now if the Maltese were constantly in the news for bad behavior it might mean something is amiss with the character of people from Malta. As far as Thais, I think a farang is a farang. My coworkers for instance don't seem to know or care if I am from UK, US or OZ, all the same to them I think.

Would you really expect those things in an article like this?

Drunken rage and ... kills ex-wife, kills best friend, kills drinking pal, kills brother/father/sister/mother, kills next door neighbor. I once talked to a cop in California who said he had never been on a domestic violence call where drugs or alcohol were not involved. Of course not all violence is alcohol-related but it is a common thread in a lot of these tragic stories.

You should demand she return your letter sweater and class ring.

I don't find it hard to believe at all. All the posters who talk about "brown envelopes" I have always thought very few have first hand knowledge of bribes. A lot of posters want to seem worldly and sophisticated and post as if they know something when all they know is barstool banter. I am not trying to say that there is no corruption or bribes passed in Thailand just that the direct knowledge of it probably doesn't reach the average poster here.

Self-report of happiness? Maybe more complicated than its seems at first glance.

I was told by a MRT. employee that I couldn't top off my MRT card back in October. I went to the office at a different station and topped it off no problem. Hoping that this is a similar problem, one office enforcing the rules creatively. I don't want to pay fares with a bank card, although I suppose it would be ok.

Why is there no yawn emoji??? Some posts scream for a yawn emoji. Is there a wild boar emoji, could be rhyming for "mild bore".

I see Thais buying them as well. They seem to be popular.

It does seem to be true that as a group cops favor tatts .

It was on the beach.
