Remember, HiSo Thais get job not due to merit, in mamy cases.

Have you never made real chips?

Not at all. Be interested to see the decline in Pattaya's population. Due to all sorts of criminals being caught - farang & local Thais.

Not needed. Hellrow is already an awful airport. I avoid it if I can.

The key problem with old people having significant influence without their decisions being checked by young people, is that old people begin to have cognitive problems, often leading to disastrous decisions.

Miserable people exist in all countries not just USA. My mother was one of these bottle half-empty people, always about what she did not have, how bad everything was, and how everything was better in the past. She has now passed away to go and harass Satan.

Chips must not be thin abominations. These are a good size.

I prefer beans on a mutton pie (being Scottish).

There is one small bit from the centre to Leith. The whole scheme was a sh*tshow/clusterf**k - driven by an incompetent council leader who ran away to England to escape.

Edinburgh Opera house was 15 years, then abandoned.

Any guesses as to completion dates? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

There are plenty of workers in Thailand & many more available - they are called Burmese

Talk about brown-nosing to get Trumpie to like them.

Indeed, for working in China, need notarisation & apostilles, same for many countries.

Need to audit/check all senators credentials!!!

and death - her death.

The delusional/demented (in a medical sense) can never deal with people questoning their delusional realities - usually react with anger. Whether it Trump or that horrible toxic professor mentioned in a another topic who caused problems for someone's son.

Minimum security, maybe a malign force will arrange to terminate her to keep her quiet.

The job market is always changing, whether those who are older appreciate it is usually not relevant.

Trying to get Thai kids to read a book is really difficult.

Pity it is impossible to sue the university. That is so wrong on so many levels.

Who believes this new tale?

I agree, having taught for 6 years in Chinese schools. The whole system of education drives kids in China to be successful: competition between themselves, their parents, their grandparents, the schools. Many will face one of the worst exams in the world - the GAOKAO. If you fail this exam, your life prospects as an adult in China go down dramatically. Everything will become far far more difficult.

Agreed, the system must be changed so that some can fail. This at IGCSE/A-level in Govt. schools, even those with integrated curriculums. Students fail IGCSE, & A-level yet get a 50% in the Thai system & still get into Chula. Thinking specifically about a girl who was a passed in our school, and got into Chula yet if we (farang teachers had been allowed) it is highly likely she would have got close to Zero in all subjects except Thai. Her father is very important politically & rich. If the system does not change Thailand will be further reduced to irrelevance in ASEAN & the world.

I saw one yesterday, after 13 years of visiting and 2 years of permanently living in Thailand, reading a book on the MRT BL.
