Keeps

Wrong place, wrong time.

Go away little boy, the grown-ups are talking.

I can barely be bothered to visit the site, let alone post at the moment. In the main this is due to nearly every thread being started by or poisoned by this bell-end, bell-end Bob or the Aussie prick, MalcolmB. It's just not worth the effort any more. When you see what is currently 'popular in the pub' it consists of this inane thread plus two from Bob which were shut down immediately. Think the use of the word popular is stretching it a bit....

Wow, what a stinging retort. You certainly put him in his place there Bignok.....

I think you forgot to include the letters R,C,K....

He is an Aussie prick who pretends to be a Brit. Constantly posts about how bad his 'fellow Brits' are. Used to post under another name(s) on this forum and admitted that his Mrs ran off with a Brit (not surprised based on his online persona). He is very bitter and twisted.

I predict that he will be ousted, somehow, within the next 18 months. I do not necessarily hope this happens, merely a prediction. I'm not American but his recent exploits have cost many financially. Only on paper though for myself at the moment so no major concerns....yet... probably a fair bit of pain to come

Calm down cobber. Have another VB. Throw another shrimp on the barbie. That's what you Aussies do, isn't it?

He didn't do it in the main for gratification. It was more for adoration and that makes it even sadder taking into account the content of the phone messages.

For a 'standard' lunch for two of around 300-400 baht I'll leave 40 baht if everything was acceptable. For a more expensive dinner for two of 1,000 baht upwards I'll probably leave 100 baht. If I stay in a hotel for upwards of 3 days then I will leave 100/200 baht for the cleaners. I sometimes get a taxi from Bangkok to Korat where the fare is 2,300 baht. I'll round that up to 2,500. Rarely tip in bars as we normally go to bars where we know the staff well. I'll buy them a drink so don't feel the need to tip in addition.

To get the measure of the man you could look at 'Sachsgate' where he and another bell-end, Jonathan Ross, made lewd phone calls live on air to the actor Andrew Sachs. During these phone calls, Brand left intimate details of what he supposedly had done sexually to Sachs granddaughter. You may have already known this but then you wouldn't have been able to post one of your quarrelsome messages would you?

He really could be in a serious spot of bother. It is very likely that the judge and jury (in the event it goes to trial) will think he is a complete bell-end even before they hear any of the evidence. He could be getting a taste of his own medicine for a number of years from 'Big Dave' and the like if/when he is found guilty.

He spouts <deleted>$ and attempts to be funny (and fails miserably).

I hope he gets what he deserves. A horrible, despicable, narcissistic misogynist. And he supports West Ham.......

Bit of a sweeping statement isn't it? Have you even considered the possibility that the waitresses actually preferred this punter being in there rather than yourself? Perhaps they were talking behind your back - " I see the miserable prat is back in" etc.

I have very, very little interest in US politics. In fact, I cannot recall ever having posted on a 'Trump' topic before (I do not consider this topic to be 'Trump' centric). Please provide some of my posting history which supports your comment. I think Trump is a complete buffoon but as I say, I really couldn't care either way what happens in the US. Be interested to see what you come up with regarding my previous posts. Are you sure you are not getting me confused with someone else?

If you read my original post I have stated that the imposition of tariffs will end up making the same goods more expensive for US consumers than they currently are.

What parts for what goods? Don't be obstinate for the sake of it. I'm sure you understand the point of tariffs and what imposing them is trying to achieve. I am just pointing out that in my opinion, US consumers will still end up paying more for the same goods than they do now due to the reason I outlined earlier. Just my opinion.

Because they were up against cheaper imports which, going forward, will no longer be cheaper due to tariffs being imposed?

Even with an increase the US producers can still be competitive against tariff imposed imports.

Do you think American producers won't price gouge their customer base off the back of these tariffs? Of course the consumer will be affected and end up paying.

He was superb as Jim Morrison in 'The Doors'.

Other than that one of his incredibly obese thumb.

No, 10 years. However, if you are a very frequent traveller and fill the passport with stamps then you will need to renew prior to the expiration date. There is the option, for an increased fee, of a passport with extra pages.
