There again, just perhaps the most sacred day of the entire year for Christians, just one day mark you, of inestimable importance to a very large number of people worldwide should be left to them. The LGBTQ etc community can strut their stuff the other 364 days of the year. As for hate, enmity and division, well how difficult would it have been to say, "since it is Easter Sunday we will move our special day to another date..." I must confess, as a Catholic, I am incredibly disappointed in Biden.

Presumably these are the experts who have real estate to shift in Pattaya?

Perhaps Mr Pancake will be kept "up his sleeve" as it were!

It certainly looks as if there is a concerted effort to make Congress as dysfunctional as possible. I'm guessing that this is create the space for the argument that a "reset" is needed, which will place the real power in the hands of the Presidency, Congress to really only operate as a talking shop and rubber stamp. Add in the manipulation of the electoral system (particularly the electoral college) and a collapse of the judicial system (currently a work in progress) and Bobs your Uncle, or more accurately, Trumps your President, (followed in due course by whoever he chooses). It hinges on checks and balances, Congress and the Courts. The thrust is to remove them from the ball court. If that is achieved, American Democracy is gone.

So basically, if the House of Representatives is not entirely in thrall to Trump, she is going to do her level best to wreck it! Not a great one for democracy is the slapper from Georgia, is she!

That "Pimp &Associates" seem remarkably "entitled" to assume that women should prostitute themselves for less!

You don't really debate do you? You just use posts as a trigger, and excuse, for another of your predetermined rants. Let me make my point again, as simply as I can; @Nick Carter icp postulated one possible scenario, the emergence of an Islamic theocracy which would defeat Israel and destroy it. I commented on that, suggesting what the implications would be for Israelis, and, broadly in line with his views, suggesting why it would be impossible! Enter stage left @thaibeachlovers, shrieking from the gospel according to Al Jazira, doing a passable imitation of a bull having multiple orgasms in a china shop! So no, if you had followed our discussion you would have realised that neither of us thought that Israel would lose, and it's people's be driven to slaughter. I was suggesting that would be a result of that scenario emerging and precisely why Israel would never allow itself to lose, or be allowed to lose. Both @Nick Carter icp and (I hope) myself are reasonably intelligent and humane beings who abhor the casualties in Gaza as much as we do the slaughter on October 7th last, not purveyors of "ludicrous and bad propaganda", a role which you have rather made your own. In summary, perhaps read the discussion?

Just don't leave the bag on the back seat of the taxi!

A process which really would involve a genocide - there are what, 9.5 million Israelis. They would literally be driven into the sea and slaughtered. October 7, and all it's horrors would only be a "taster". Israel knows and understands this. They will not lose. Ultimately they know that the only thing which will buy a generation of relative peace is to utterly destroy Hamas. Something else will eventually arise to replace them, but Israel will be prepared. There is not going to be peace in Israel. End of.

Russian. Got pissed. Got punchy.

Why?

I wonder why the Donald told her to put the boot in now? Still no doubt she reckons it can't hurt her chances of getting the VP slot!

I understood that certainly until recently, you could have a limited time "added" to your passport if you renewed it a few months early, so that technically when issued it would be valid for 10 years and a few months. I am surprised that there are 2.4 million British passport holders at present whose passports are over 10 years old, and in the last months of this "extra validity!" It does sound like more "the sky is falling in due to Brexit bull" - but then I saw it was The Independent! If you are daft enough to book a flight or trip without checking your passport is valid...

Frankly, if people are daft enough to invest money in an undertaking which has lost 50 million USD on revenues of 5 million USD, there is little one can do except shake ones head and walk away!

Probably enough for a couple of shares at the rate it seems to be going!

So a "crackdown" makes complete sense!

If all he tells us about his alcohol consumption is true should burn with a clear blue flame!

Come on, he's not going anywhere! It's the weekly bull! I doubt he could run to the bus fare to the airport, let alone flights!

I suspect that for "Bob" liquid assets are just that - the contents of the bottle in front of him!

Tugs when manoeuvring such vessels around and under bridges. Yes, employing a couple of tugs would have added to costs, but a damn site cheaper than a new bridge!

Good advice, but perhaps the personal touch may be needed? If he were to present himself at an Immigration Office, he would be well received, and could make an appointment, giving him time to muster and to present all his evidence. Perhaps the second of April next would be an auspicious date ( Mondays are invariably busy). He will be seen off from the office by many waves, and cheery cries of "see you next Tuesday"!

Ah, it was only a question of time until our "friend" returned to his favourite topic, commenting adversely on foreigners relationships with Thai women. Doesn't take much to open that festering wound does it?

Robust and challenging training is central to basic training in military and paramilitary organisations. There is a fine line between conducting such training and bullying; and there will always be instructors who cross that line, at times inadvertently, at times because they enjoy doing so. It is one of the functions (leadership) of their superiors to ensure that does not happen, and to identify and monitor vulnerable recruits.

Haven't travelled on it for some years. Does it still have that loud bang when it goes over the points at one of the stations - I think the one where the maintenance depot is? I remember thinking something is not quite right with that!

Oh I expect they have been bearing it in mind since the coup which deposed him, (well put a stop to his re-election) and the subsequent pearl clutching, swooning, "prosecutions". Everyone outside the "AN Thaksin haters bubble" knows that he and his sister are the only democratically elected leaders Thailand has had in the last 25 years.
