Cobblers.

Yeah, right.

What's all this "box" stuff..."meter box", "car box"? A taxi's meter is not in "a box", neither is the "meter box" kept in "a box" in the taxi, they're fixed to the dashboard. The OP reads like a box of cobblers.

The moral of the story is do not get into a taxi unless the red or green "For hire" sign is illuminated, which goes off as soon as the meter is activated, if the meter was already running, the light would not have been showing.

Your irony is very subtle Sarcasm, not "irony"...ironically!

That’s very valuable information to know SF ...but also false.

"Hi, my name is Mick, I'm 52, a sex tourist looking for an 18-year old girl and if you're as desperate as I am for company, I'd love to be your friend ...."

There's no logic in that assertion.

Meaningful contributions are generally only posted on meaningful threads.

You posted, "Wouldn't be surprised, if they let him do the remaining year of his sentence in prison first". I posted that as at the time of his leaving the UK he hadn't been convicted of anything nor given a sentence to serve, never mind "one remaining year".

A plane stops to be refueled, is not news... it's not as though Julian is meeting anyone, or seen by anyone... 555 This is not just a report about "a" plane refuelling, the Assange palaver certainly is news and the plane's temporary landing in Bangkok, for whatever reason, is news that is of interest to many, albeit not to you.

The use of the Tern "Joe Ferrari" as an acronym for corrupt official, may have gone over your head? No, it did not, not at all, but what has gone over your head is that "Joe Ferrari" is not an acronym.

A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction Maybe, but he still has not been convicted of rape.

No.

...so translate it for him, prof.

I don't suppose that you have any evidence that your allegation against locals that zero tax is, and has never been, paid is correct? Didn't think so.

Total of four words in two posts. What an outstanding contribution. But they have more relevance and rationality than all of your words put together. I don't think that anyone has made you the arbiter of what makes members posts worthy.

There was that American killed in Bangkok a decade ago. From the comments here at the time you’d think it happens every day. Yes, one occasion, eleven years ago, as opposed to all those "every times" to which you referred! "From the comments here at the time you’d think it happens every day". Yes, precisely my point, so why would you post a comment that suggested that is what happens? You posted, "We hear ever time a local taxi driver goes nuts and kills a foreigner". Have there been any other reports of taxi drivers killing foreigners?

So why did you "draw" a story that was not analogous? Your illustration was completely dissimilar to Assange's circumstances.

Because it is news.

What are you going on about? As at the time of his leaving the UK he hasn't been given a sentence to serve

For what would he be nominated for a Nobel Prize and by whom?

"...I doubt he is that well informed..." Why doubt that?

Why do you say that when that charge was dropped by the prosecutor?

^ yes the irony So lame.
