There's the root cause right there. Dummkopf.

.... and the relevance of your "Rolex' to the topic discussed ???? Why not just say watch & not stipulate what kind that you have. Insecure? :) But I don't have a Rolex, that's a watch. As I already said, I have a Patek Philippe.

Of late, the forum moderators have clamped down on one word posts. So, in the best interests of both debate and forum etiquette, I will suggest that you've been triggered. Proper.

No, not even close. Gutted.

Don't forget the poor chap banged up for shouting at a police dog. You know you want to remind us of that absolutely heinous legal overreach.

@JonnyF, as he posted earlier. The current sentencing guidelines were sleepwalked through parliament by successive Tory administrations.

Pay attention. It's search without your permission. When my checked bag has been searched after drop off and before departure at BKK, AoT places a sticker with a reference number on the bag saying as much. I finally worked out it was the rechargeable battery in my electric toothbrush that was being detected. That now goes in my hand carry so no longer happens. Cufflinks? How quaintly old fashioned. I doubt any security staff have any idea what they are so you'll need a more convincing hypothetical. Back on topic: the way I read this hopelessly inaccurate news item is that security screening will be largely unchanged, but instead of a 100% reliance on wands and scanners, some (and not all) pax will be randomly selected for a pat down. Nothing to see (or feel) here. Move along now.

If he has either, he shouldn't be using visa-exempt entries.

That can happen when you go off topic too.

A Rolex is a 'watch'.

A member of my Thai family sits glued to Amarin TV for his morning "Cambodia bad, Thailand good" fix. They excelled themselves with this morning's episode where they managed over 50 minutes of non-stop Facebook clips of Cambodian missile launchers on a highway, Cambodian soldiers wandering through the jungle and Thai soldiers shouting at trees. Replete with apocalyptic doomsday type music overlays. I was disappointed that they didn't include video of a burning PTT gas station today, but maybe they'll rewind it for tomorrow's "news".

It's very, very difficult to finish a made up conflict "once and for all". Just ask Putin.

I can appreciate the surliness of BKK security staff when people queue for maybe 10 minutes and don't prepare for screening and gum up the works. This is mostly caused by women with their multiple bags, purses, boxes of Krispy Kremes (you now who you are), belts, bangles and other travel non-essentials. I get tetchy when stuck behind these inveterate slowpokes, but I find when it's my turn, and the cranky security operative is loudly reminding me about phones, belts and what have you, catching their eye, smiling with a 'watdee comment tends to take the edge off. Especially on the infrequent occasions when I have been inattentive and forgotten to take off my Patek Philippe.

MAN terminal 2 outbound was as close to crossing the Berlin Wall as I wanted to get. They even had elevated podiums for snipers on the worst days.

Ah, ok thanks. One of those "do you know who I am?" wannabes.

Why is the Trump DOJ protecting Maxwell (and all the other paedophiles) ?

Is it getting as hard to find little females here, as some claim? Or are they being fatist?

Yup, right up there with the January 6 gang. Gotta love them "open carry" laws. So easy to misinterpret.

Funny you should mention tools. Keep "towing" the line there young sunny. You're doing splendidly.

If losing the number bears no huge significance, just let it go and get a new number.

Sharia law is only applied by a few Muslim councils in voluntary, civil disputes such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance within Muslim communities. Meanwhile, white folks can fly the English flag wherever and whenever, including wearing it as a cape while vandalising police vehicles and other anti-social behaviour. BTW, I thought doing your cousin was an Appalachian way of life?

...and in August 2025, about 6 months after Biden left the building and "you know who" took over, Ghislaine Maxwell was mysteriously moved from a low security lockup in FL to a minimum security facility in TX. Plus, plus etrange, non?

Except in the northeast Scottish coastal town of Banff who had him "banned" after he made fun of the town's name during his only show there. "Banff? What's a Banff for goodness sakes? Banff! It's the sound a loaf of bread makes when you drop it on the floor."

You forgot already that Biden was just a senile old coot with seriously impaired cognitive functions? Or has that bus already left the depot?

Apparently, her husband had "misused" his H* visa by not leaving the US within a prescribed period after he had decided to retire. How did that happen? Apparently, she was incarcerated because she 'packed her husband's bags' for their vacation. If anything here is suspicious, it is the very specious and arbitrary nature of US immigration law enforcement, especially since the incumbent took over the White House.
