  1. What is more, I expect he made the trains run on time
  2. A classic beurocratic "cop out"! The reason that the IOC exists is to make decisions in the interests of all competitors, not just those with a vocal backing. The Algerian was previously banned from fighting other women by the IBA. She effectively has a male physique, which makes her participation in female boxing unfair. The IOC now bleating that they are"open to solutions" to "the gender identity issue" is pathetic. It was their decision to make. They fudged it.
  3. Not exactly a demanding task! Not much digging required; the man is usually perched bragging on a pile of it!
  4. Glasses steamed up because of the heat and humidity?
  5. It certainly was an astonishing performance!
  6. The last major political movements to try classifying peoples race using pseudo mathematical formulas both came spectacularly unstuck: the NAZIs in the fiery ruins of Berlin in 1945 and more recently the South African National Party. Both were run by some particularly unpleasant people...

  9. But good for vaseline sales (apparently they smear it on camera lenses to make her look soft and appealing)!
  10. You completely missed the point: you said (if I may paraphrase) Election didn't mean anything. What's more (at the risk of wandering to the margins of the topic), there were two basically populist and progressive parties standing, Move Forward and Pheu Thai, together they won 68% of the vote.
  11. On occasion people post opinions which on close inspection are very revealing about their underlying political philosophies. Perhaps this is such a post!
  12. All predominantly diseases of old age. Not too much of a problem in the times before vaccination, relatively few(er) made it to old age; diseases, now largely prevented by vaccination, carried them off!
  13. Bloody Normans! Coming over here with their "blades weapons"...
  14. AHH, I was wondering why my local MacDonalds has a life sized plastic model of Donald Trump outside! Personally I thought that huge gas filled blimp which followed him around London when he came to visit on his state visit ( you know, the visit where he pushed in front of the Queen) was quite a handy way of keeping track of him!
  15. It has become a bit of an American political tradition, declaim it on the steps of the courthouse before you waddle off guzzling cheeseburgers for your sentencing...
  16. Which of course may be a reason why Harris is "riding high in the polls"!
  17. Under an amendment to the Road Traffic Act promulgated on them 7 Oct 2022 use of a handheld mobile phone whilst driving is liable to a phone of up to BAHT 1000. Under amendment 13 to article 123 of the 1979 Land Transport Act travelling in the front seats of a motor vehicle whilst not wearing a seatbelt carries a fine of BAHT 400. The same applies to occupants of rear seats if belts are fitted.
  18. I think that established where she is coming from!
  19. Thailand has the same rules. It is not so much a marker of being right or left wing as one of Police incompetence and corruption.
  20. In fact why don't the Tang Rat people just buy a set of that leaked data, and use it as their data base! Jobs a good 'un!
  21. One might also ask, how many times has he gone bankrupt, managed to dodge paying his creditors, been caught out running fraudulent universities, been found liable for various financial malpractices by courts, been convicted of 34 felonies, and so the list goes on!
  22. Who knows, after all he started by grumbling about people bringing communism to America. One might suppose that he is away with the fairies, although I suspect he missed the bus!
  23. Golly, this comes as a complete surprise! A very important person's nephew ( sorry, I meant a government IT expert) will have to work over the weekend to sort this out!
