Iron Tongue

Tasers and liberal use of excess force, of course!

I wonder if this foreign traveler insurance will cover STDs? There's still that nasty case of antibiotic-resistant Super Gonorrhea that hasn't been addressed.

Probably part of the newest new 90-day plan to improve the economy! Don't ask how or why, just go along with it like the rest of Thailand is asked to do!

15 dead and only one firearm found... Must've been some battle that Thai regiment fought against this drug army.

Regularly clear the cookies and history in your computer/laptops/cellphones/handhelds. If that guy got some sort of heads-up about you wanting to install gutters, it may have come from your searching online. In addition to any sites, even your search engine is capable of watching your activity and then selling your name & address to legit and illegitimate businesses.

Pit bulls are actually very sociable and friendly dogs, as they have been popular family pets for over a century in the West. It is only through continued abuse by certain low-life owners who turn them into aggressive and fighting animals that pits have become the "terror" that people assume them to be. I think your bullets would be misplaced for use on the dogs.

In other words, you mean that you put soy sauce on your ketchup, right?

Yep. That is definitely Brit food. Not one green vegetable in any of them ...and peppers or spring onions don't count!

Oh no no no! She look like dis now in beach wear

I wonder what was so urgent as there is no word that the cop was disciplined or fired. And are they sure that the tourist is a dude? Looks like an unattractive woman to me.

I think it's just a pre-emptive move by Big Joke so that nobody will think twice when they see his car parked in front of massage partners. As for the DW report, I suspect that the number of single bookings from Germany to Thailand will be increasing exponentially.

You didn't mention what your original BP was, nor any changes to lifestyle, diet, etc. so it is impossible to understand what happened. Rather than arbitrarily deciding to reduce medications to every other day, you really need to go see a doctor, either your regular GP, or a cardiologist. And when you go see your doctor, bring the medications you are taking to verify if the dosages are correct.

It isn't the sea that concerns me, it's the untreated raw sewage that is pumped directly into the sea that I have issues with.

We were asking each other to take this test in the 80's when we were kids. Glad it finally made it to Thailand.

That's all anyone needs to read. Most of this will likely go to pay consulting firms run by relatives of local pols.

Exactly the sort of thing criminals fear, a Memorandum of Understanding!

Typical first-timer in Pattaya. Paid her upfront only to discover she did not love him longtime.

Hmm, China needs to bring in tourist money fast as their economy is shakier than they'd admit. Besides, they need more vectors for that children's influenza that's been clogging-up their hospitals. Gotta spread that stuff around.

You can't really punish the shooter here as he killed himself. Kinda pointless hanging him and broadcasting it on TV.

It happened November 5th, no follow-up to where the Russian driver is now? Were drug and alcohol tests administered on her? Did she do a runner and is back in the Worker's Paradise? Seems like reasonable questions for a reporter to seek answers to.

You guys are missing it, the majority of his wealth is hidden offshore. Offshore is where corrupt politicians hide their loot because he can move it and access it at any time without having to declare anything. Offshore wealth also comes in handy if one has to escape a counter-coup and doesn't have time to sell his homes or cars, or bicycle.

No Chinese blue collar or lower middle class people are thinking about vacationing abroad. One of China's biggest wealth management firms, Zhongzhi, just declared insolvency, with over $64 billion debt vs under $30 billion assets. This is the beginning of China's Banking & Financial Services collapse, which is following their Real Estate bubble bursting. Few want to spend money when everything is up in the air about their future.

Buy some bolts of raw silk, then go to a tailor and get custom boxers made to your size. All you need to do is to provide a sample pair of boxers. Just make sure you check out the first one he makes for quality assurance.

Well, you are 62 and doesn't sound like you've ever studied MA before. One big issue with real MAs, whether grappling or full contact, is that you'll do a lot of falling. At your age, it's too late to learn how to properly fall, as your bone structure has not been built-up, and you don't have the flexibility & reflexes. To put it bluntly, if you fall a lot, especially with a sparring partner landing on you, you'll break bones -wrist, ankle, hip, injure your spine, or worse, you'll hit your head and die. Yes, die. If you want to learn an applicable martial art, I suggest something like cane-fighting where you learn to beat on people with a cane (or umbrella), including learn control techniques, and throws.

Whatever happened, it was not random and has to do with somebody owing money.
