Bla, bla,bla. I am a motorcyclist, I wear a helmet. Get a taxi motorcycle sometimes, can I have a helmet, pleases? Mai pen rai, dumlooud mai jub. Still want a helmet, dirty or otherwise. Practise what I preach and all that. If the bib would just charge 500 baht and give a genuine ticket to those not wearing a helmet Thailand would have a lot more dosh. Arr, but now what do we do about the babies in mother's arms, or mum and dad with helmets, undone, of course with their little Somchai shoved in the middle. Makes my blood boil, so it does!

Thailand would have a lot more dosh???????????????????????????????? Every cop would own a Beemer more like.

So "qualified medical doctors" don't exist in Thailand? Hmmm...

And many Ph.D's are not what they make out to be. A certain lady could help you to shop though.

What has swinging got to do with Politics or protests?

Politicians are all Swingers!!! They swing to the money!!!!!!

There's more than a few that I'd like to see swing - by the neck.

Fortunately the wound was not fatal and he made it safely to the hospital, where hopefully he was fed. Unquote

Death wish? Or just plain unvarnished stupidity?

Did it ever cross this vacuous woman's mind that it would have been a good idea to consult with the Council of State BEFORE deciding on a course of action?

You would have thought that in the 2.5 years she has been PM, she would have used some of that time to study politics, democracy and how the constitution works. She should know it inside out by now. Yet she refers everything to legal experts because she does not understand the first thing about her own country's political system..... In short.... She is an airhead.

She hasn't done a single thing in all that time that can be construed as running the country. She has just passed everything over, and pissed off shopping. I hope she understands that for the rest of her life, people will be pointing the finger at her and saying 'there goes that stupid idiot that was the worst prime minister Thailand ever had'.

In itself quite an achievement.

The old adage: "Never trust a man who dons a pirate's earing."

Avast! ye scallywag. Perhaps ye were buggered at sea and involuntarily had the barnacles scraped off yer rudder, which would explain yer inconsiderate...OH Wait...Talk like a Pirate day was on September 19. Sorry...I digress.

More than likely that the parrot crapped on his epaulettes.

Put up or shut up! Mr. Abhisit doesn't leave her much wiggle room. Poor Dr. Thaksin, who is the only person in the World who can make decisions in this government, is so distracted by all the court rulings, present and future, increasing street protests, threatened corruption charges, potential party dissolution, inability to pay the rice farmers, inability to get the flood scheme off the ground, etc. and now his sister is asking him how to respond to Mr. Abhisit's challenge. He's going to have to use a stronger hair dye after this

If KY doesn't watch it Sunisa could be the next 'real PM'.

I like the change from YL to KY. Very appropriate. Used by the criminal on the run to screw his country.

Have PTP asked anybody to return the 800 baht bribe? I hope that thousands turn up at the next meeting, all with their palms open, snaffle the dosh - and then wreck the meeting.

How low can this government go?

All of them have gold medals for limbo dancing.

This is all a misunderstanding on Chalerm's part. What YL said was "You can be milk monitor, mon brave."

Pol.Gen. Pracha also addressed the rumour that three policemen had died on duty as they kept watch on the protesters, admitting that three police officers had indeed passed away during their posts, but the cause of deaths were personal illness and unrelated to the protests.

That is a very alarming statistic! What did they die of if it were 'personal illness', were they working together, from the same unit, is it contagious etc etc.

As to the OP if that is not a face slap in public to Chalerm then I don't know what is. Go home Chalerm, you have been used, abused and are now surplus to requirements....get used to it.

Maybe it's a pre-curser to unleashing biological agents to the protest sites. Some mysterious fatal illness that supposedly started with 3 police officers and spread to the crowd.

Thainess syndrome?

Cirrhosis of the liver? Alcoholic poisoning? A surfeit of lampreys? Dragged along the road by a Ferrari?

British Rail carried out an advertising campaign and the slogan was 'It's the Age of the Train.' Some wit in touch with reality scrawled on a poster "Ours was 70 years old'.

PM has one clear choice: step down

Can't we just go back to the good old days and make her walk the plank

Capt'n Neilly Sir! The men have been at sea for months... and well you know, she's not too hard on the eyes. It's would certainly improve the crews moral a bit, if they had a "mascot" to cheer them up a bit... if you know what I mean? But that's only until we sail into deeper waters, then we can give her a good flogging and sink her somewhere where she'll never resurface... Wot ya say Sir?

Good idea.Into the barrel you go YL.

Yelp, yelp.

Don't worry YL. It's only the roll of the ship.

Yipes!. It feels more like a roll of lino.

Why the nautical flavour to her demise? In the old days it was a one way ticket to Tower Hill - or burning at the stake. Maybe the French could make their input? Let the tumbrils roll.

Ignore any suggestion from our American friends. They take 20 years to finally decide to invoke the ultimate penalty and then start a new war about how to do it.

I don't see how corruption can be countered. Anybody trying put the nation on the straight and narrow would be found an inactive post within a day or two. All those on the gravy train would gang up on a honest soul.

Thai culture is set in concrete.

the fact that she was the sweetest, kindest most unselfish woman i'd ever met

Snap. We were introduced by her cousin who thought that I should have a regular lady. I took her on as a housekeeper which meant at least that she, who had been working as a waitress in a restaurant, wasn't on her feet all day, and had spare money in her purse for the first time in her life. It was obvious that she had been beaten down by Life, having raised 2 children alone after her worthless 'husband' abandoned her, but still retained a cheerfulness and dogged spirit. After listening to her story (she had struggled alone for 10 years bringing up two kids), It was clear that she really needed somebody to stand alongside, holding her hand, to face life vicissitudes. I told her that I thought that she had never really had a life and I was going to give her one. (No pun intended).

The cynical might think, and the foolish say, that what she needed, and was targeting, was access to my wallet but our relationship became much more than that. Now, on reflection, I realise that I needed her as much as she needed me. Never a habitue of the bar scene I now eschewed it completely. Her even temper, her kindness and concern for my wellbeing brought about significant change in the way that I viewed Life and I am a much better and kinder person for it. For 12 years we have been content with each other, and as time goes by, our relationship strengthens. I could never play away and cheat on her and if I were to wander and she found out, the pain that she would suffer would be as nothing to the remorse that I felt.

If asked to contain my thoughts in a nutshell I would say that she practices the very essence of true Buddhism.

They smoke too dam_n much!

Are you referring to the 'Russian' tarts plying their trade on Walking Street and hellholes of a similar stripe?

Russians are Westerners by their culture.

By region they are everything from Westerners to far east.

This wasn't meant to be a debate on what westerner means

So please name it: Do Westerners mix with Westerners....

The Russian Federation stretches across 9 time zones. reaching from Poland to the island of Sakhalin. The Soya Strait separates Sakhalin from Hokkaido, a province of Japan. Care to review your post?

I was under the impression that most of the 'Russians' here in LOS were from the former southern republics that once formed part of the USSR. I doubt the the Uzbecks, Azerbajanis, Tajiks and particularly Ukrainians, would be too happy being called Russians, same as the splendid Jocks, Taffs and Paddies being lumped together and designated to be English rather than Brits. .

In my few interactions with 'Russians' I have found them to be uncouth, ill mannered and coarse just as I do the drunks and other low life forms from First World countries who have avoided acquiring any form of civilisation, courtesy and gentility. I am sure that there are more than a few educated and sophisticated "Russians' who view their compatriots with distaste. On the other hand Pattaya can hardly be considered a Buck House garden party.

I'm sure all hot young Thai women just love having some prune-like toothless old boy in his sock/sandal/wife-beater singletby their side as they swan into a night club in front of all their pals who are sat with their young handsome Thai BFs........

You omitted bald and sporting a beer belly. Such restraint - unlike your post. It describes a phenomenon so extreme that it makes a total nonsense of your post.

Orange your journey?

Traveling on one of BKK's buses gives you the pip?

I wouldn't get out of bed for 200 baht.

Many Thai ladies would kick you out for such a payday.

"You can behead me if Thaksin is not back (in Thailand) by the end of this year (2013)"......Labor Minister Pol. Cap. Chalerm Yubamrung

He's been off his head for years.

All the reports, and all the replying informative reports and no one asked the most important and missing question......

What was the song he kept on singing????

Toxic?

Apparitiontly sorry, apparently the restaurant got a good plug from this.

I think that not a few Thais now won't go near the place.

Did any monks turn up offering to persuade the ghost to move on - for a consideration of course?
