This and the other thread (activists searching for Cambodians) reminds me of the 'Thai road rage' syndrome. If the border conflict contues that's what I expect 'Thai bullies' will sink to.

One small point. If former Pres Obama knew at the outset knew that Russia did not have the means to affect as US election why didn't he tell the media to prevent the spread of the media frenzy of Russia-Trump collusion?

Well,whoever, whatever, that person is I was surprised about thin and frail looking they were.

Yes, thank you for that...I understand Padons in general. But that was not my point.

Okay, so 8 years to 1 year via Royal Pardon. What does that actually mean? What does that 1 year represent in terms of the charge agaist him? Is it like a Supreme Court saying 'Yes, guilty but 8 years is too much'? Does it mean he is guilty of some charges but not others? Does that 1 year mean that he is not allowed to play politics? Obviously all a misunderstanding n my part

Why is this man be allowed to carry on in political circles. Yes, okay b.e.'s but seriously the courts and the law are not lifting a finger to stop him. What a farce.

Yes, like others have mentioned here, happens every time you drive a few km's. But this morning it was a little different for me. I went to the bank and just as I turned into the entrance a m/b driven by a non-thai and young lady sitting behind (no helmets). I wasn't about to back up as the main road was thick with traffic and not only that the exit was just a few meters away. Fortunately, a Thai bank guard came out of the toilet (on the left of m/b) and gestured the bike rider to use the exit. The bike rider gave me the 'v' sign as the guard waved me through. How pleasant, I thought.

Making the 'world' a little more 'bare-able' to live in. Not going to complain about that.

Easy enough on todays technology. My phone gives UV index, Humidity, Wind, Sunrise & Sunset in addition to the weather in general.

Should have checked the UV saftety index, usually gives awarning. I can't sunbathe anywhere as I burn very easily so when I go out I where long trousers and hat. Swimming is the same, T-shirt etc.

I think the Democrats had to make the definition of male and female during Rep Chuck Schumer's insistence of a full reading of the latest Bill. Can be seen on Sky News.

Couldn't you have been more specific😆😆

More pungent at every layer.

Well as I mentioned, I don't follow these markets regularly so I could be 'called out' for that. I do follow both left and right wing media though (not only USA but for Uk also) so yes I am aware of the of the Dem's narrowed vision attacks on Pres. DT. I got the impression that no matter what Pres. DT did in the eyes of the Dem. it's wrong/bad/etc. Those Dem. that did agree with Pres. DT actions these past few days also got condemmed too. For example, the attack on Iran's nuclear sites, in my view was long overdue and I think the majority thought so too but the Dem. couldn't even a thumbs up for that. Just ain't no pleasing some people.

From CNN, PBS etc. I read that the markets rebounded favourably too. However, as I am not American and don't often follow these I wondered if it was a 'seasonal' fluctuation.
