  1. "My daughter told me about her. She said her teacher is stupid and should go back to the jungle" Is it clear enough yet?? ????
  2. It's easy to blame others when others are indeed to blame. The poor layout of the form is bad enough, but allowing the form to be submitted when required information is missing? Totally unforgivable.
  3. You don't deem the term "she should go back to the jungle" as racist?
  4. Did she want to go home by herself, of her own accord? Or was she inviting you to take her to her home town? There's a big difference.
  5. I fully agree. Further more, if you don't believe the referendum was run in a fair manner, and also hold the belief that the thresholds were reasonable, you can't then use your argument that "the Thai public voted for the constitution so they need to accep it"
  6. Just to be clear.... none of the behaviour outlined in your original post is out of the ordinary or any way close to obsessive. If all they're doing is asking if they will see you tomorrow, and sending you some messages on Line then there is nothing you need to do.
  7. 60/40 is a margin of 20 points. I'd class that as big. But I come from a 52/48 land so anything looks big to me. I don't recall seeing that TV show or any article referencing it. If he did say it, which he may well have done, I doubt anybody believed it. Otherwise the referendum options should have been worded as "Use new constitution proposal" and "Revert to the old constitution". It wasn't worded that way, however. It was a "yes/no" vote on the new constitution only.
  8. There was a public referendum which won by a fairly large margin but with a couple of caveats. Firstly, many of the educated public were basically of the view that they have to either accept the proposal, or never get a general election. Secondly there were reports (I don't know how credibile they were) of polling offices with helpful military personnel showing people how to vote. You know, escorting them to the ballot box, showing them how to make their vote (in particular, pointing out which box to tick)
  9. Sounds like you've been paying over the odds for the last few years ????
  10. No, asking if they'll see you tomorrow and sending some messages via Line is not obsessive behaviour. Unless there's more to what they're doing than you actually describe, I suggest your two options are either put up with it or stop dating.
  11. Obsessive behaviour if I ever did hear it...
  12. It's a close competition, but I think this is a candidate for the most misogynistic post of all time on Asean Now...
  13. If there's any ounce of truth in the OP, I think you've hit the nail close to the head with that question. A plausible scenario is that after buying a couple (or more) drinks for the lady in question, old Bob suggested that maybe she should buy him one and her reaction to that proposal started a row that he was completely incapable of de-escalating and eventually lead to him being asked to leave. I don't know how close to the truth my hypothesis is, but it's eminently more plausible than "I told her sometimes women make more money than men and she threw me out the bar"...
  14. This didn't happen
  15. I'm not quite sure what trap MF are trying to lay for these senetors, and whether or not it will ultimately work out in the end. But you have to assume that this is exactly the reaction that they were trying to provoke.
  16. Yes. I can't believe that this is such an alien concept to so many people.
  17. It's possible to get PR if you work in Thailand, but it's far from easy. I don't think it's technically achievable without working (or at least earning) here. I did once meet some random lawyer in a bar in Bangkok once who said he could sort out Permanent Residency for less than the price of an Elita visa. I was skeptical...
  18. That wouldn't prevent the cat from straying onto neighbouring balconies...
  19. But.... um... So IMO is okay, then? Is there a list anywhere of which acronyms are and are not acceptable?
  20. Okay well I would suggest that anybody who decides to take care of a cat in a condo would have to accept that they can't leave the balcony doors open all day.
  21. Lock yourself in? We're talking about the cat. And most condos I've stayed in have doors attached to their balcony.
