Iron Tongue

You just want to add another layer of bureaucracy to an already overwhelming bureaucratic system. When has that ever helped, anywhere? The sad state of Thai attitudes is because they have had to endure a lifetime of burdensome rules, which everyone knows they can ignore.

Oh, now I get it! You're looking for what we call "koozies" in the US. And I had thought this was going to be a thread about "girth"

Unfortunately, just useless blather as there is never enough traction for real changes, which would require a nation-wide change of attitude and a multi-year campaign of education with actual enforcement of traffic laws. Save the Children will hopefully get lots of airtime, plenty of donations while this gets swept under the rug when the "next emergency" comes along. I have gotten cynical.

When I go out, I just want it to be a surprise. Someplace comfortable, and definitely not while sitting on the toilet.

Message sent... ... and definitely received. No use for any of us to get involved.

Thailand? I thought you were listing conditions in the UK.

Nobody said he was operating the bike. Looks like the accused is riding away on a moto-taxi.

Just a cunning excuse for her boyfriend! Look at how skinny she is, staying afloat at sea for 7-hours with minimal body fat? See how she and Mr. Squidman are holding hands. Notice Mr Squidman is wearing his favorite T-shirt and lucky Speedo. Just friends? -I think not! These 2 snuck out to sea for some passionate love-making and lost all sense of time. Realizing that she needed to explain where she was all day, they quickly came-up with this "washed out to see, lucky to be rescued excuse".

Translation: Things were proceeding quite well with Thailand's Automated Entry System until someone realized that this would put a lot of bureaucrats out of work.

Thailand is considered a Developing Nation. It wouldn't be unreasonable for their police to be caught occasionally beating an uncooperative prisoner. This should be one of those occasions.

Metal values are transitory. At one time, aluminum was worth more than gold or platinum. It was used to adorn the crowns of Europe 150 years ago. Now it is the 4th most common material in the earth.

I wouldn't try a taser against a nut with a sword. Perhaps you aren't aware that police tasers have at least a 30% failure to subdue. Druggies are the ones least affected by tasers. I suspect this "monk" is definitely on something strong -or having a psychotic episode. Bean bag rounds would probably work better, but still no guarantees.

Uh huh. Sure. As if Trump is bothered by her throwing insults instead answering questions. Nice that she had both debate moderators refusing to keep her on-subject or fact check her lies. So when exactly has Trump ever shown a fear of people? Trump was the guy who looked Putin in the eyes and told him that American forces were killing his Wagner mercenaries when they tried to overrun US positions in Syria during the Battle of Khasham in 2018. Up to 200 Russians killed out 300 casualties. After that experience, Russian forces in the Middle East never tried a direct attack against American soldiers again.

Clean it monthly. Run an air purifier in your BR if you have bad air. How is the bed? Is it as good as your UK one, or is it junk? -I think bad sleep is more attributable to an uncomfortable mattress & pillows than cooled air.

Trump has given dozens of interviews, pressers, and other events to hostile interviewers, and continues to go to events AFTER 2 attempted assassination attempts. Kamala can't give a straight answer to basic questions. And you think he's afraid to debate her?

You feel that bad, go and pay his fine for him. Buy him a crate of vitamin C pills as well. He didn't "make a mistake", he went there to commit a crime, for a third time, at least the shop is only aware of 3 thefts. BTW, he lives in the LoS and is vitamin C deficient? There's so much natural vitamin C available in the fruits and vegetables everywhere. From the looks of that gut, I'll wager he doesn't have problems paying for beer.

You go on and start a lucrative career in drug smuggling if you believe that. Dogs can smell that easily as they smell particles in the ppm range. They could have run those bags through several cycles in a dishwasher and trained dogs would still pick them out. By the looks of these bags, people could probably smell the resin inside those bags.

I don't get it, if this guy is a drug smuggler, why did he need to sneak back into & live in Thailand? He could have operated with less scrutiny out of Cambodia. Was it the Pad Thai he missed?

It was just for personal use. Cops are just picking on another black celebrity!

That's pretty damning evidence they have on these criminals, a power drill and several pieces of PVC tubing! With that kind of proof, even the Red Bull heir would have been dragged out of his limo and tossed straight into prison!

Good thing everybody cooperated and quickly moved out. There were 21 very impatient generals waiting to move in!

Almost peed myself when I read this.

They: Where you from? He: Pakistan. They: Oh, let me see the US dollars in your wallet.

Execute both of them!!!! And then deport them! When will this rash of foreigner crime come to an end?

Too bad he wasn't going faster. Yeah, I said it.
