I guess he's entitled to go down the legal route. Will be a test of Labour's promises to stop pointless legal action. Not a single penny of tax payer money should be spent on such action though, and if they lose then they must pay all legal costs. Far better there's work to allay concerns and mitigate issues than delaying tactics.

Where's the gofundme? 😆

I know some Filipinos who have very strong positive views on the Duterte era, and how under Marcos drugs & corruption have made a very strong come back. One has a cousin who was a drug dealer. He got picked up by the Duterte police one night, told to never deal drugs again or face certain death within the next 3 days. He did the smart thing and immediately quit. He's still alive. Find and kill all the dealers using these people who are tested-positive as a route to them. Don't care if they are Thai or foreigner.

You had the choice and you didn't. Shame on you.

Yeah! Wouldn't be surprised if the loser figure is more than 95% I used to look after the 2 fruit machines (slots) for a Club, and we set them to the best payout possible (90%). The legal minimum was around 70%. We netted nearly £90k a year, meaning close to £900k was being gambled per year by our punters. This was over 30 years ago. Those machines funded our entire operation meaning we could charge less for beer and snacks. We used to also subsidise trips to the theatre or sports events off of our profits. I've been to casinos in Missouri, London, Vegas and Macau. Have enjoyed myself every time. In the US I set a $200 loss limit (is what I could afford to lose). In maybe 6 trips I've triggered that stop point a couple of times, but I'm still down, probably not by that much, my last Vegas trip I did okay on blackjack. In London it was a £200 limit split between my ex and me. She lost all of her £100, I won £100 which meant we stayed even on the night. Macau is a whole level of craziness. Last time I looked their takings are 5 times that of Vegas. I've never seen the level of gambling in Vegas that I do in Macau. I'm not brave enough to sit in on a table & gamble. I try my luck on some the sic bo machines (a dice game, $20 HKD, 2GBP a go). Each time I play golf in Macau I go to a casino afterwards for some isotonic fluid replacement (Beer). The only gamble I do is $100 HK Dollars on the day of my birthday on roulette. In maybe 15 times there I've won 3 times, meaning I'm well up. The point of this? I understand gambling and would probably visit a Thai casino a few times, but I'd not be a big spender. So maybe I'm not their target audience. If the B50M limit is in then I can't visit, so they miss out. I don't know the odds on whether that matters or not; it should do as there'll be plenty of people like me who can't go.

Maybe he had too many viagra, his 'thing' got really hard really quickly and it pogo-sticked him into the noose? No way this is a fantasy of course... 🙈

He's lucky the locals didn't get their own machete to deal out their own justice.

He should get caned for what he did. 🙈

I ask this as I'm unsure. The assets are frozen. Fine, I understand that. Is there a timescale on this "freeze" order, or is it permanent? Or is will it time out when relations with Russia get normalised again? If it's the latter and those assets have been liquidated and spent, won't there be a legal case that means the UK Government gets sued as although the assets were frozen, they were still owned by a Russian? If an asset is the fruit of an illegal act, then of course sell but I thought that needs a court order.

It seems different to be showing support to a terrorist organisation versus a political party? I can't see the US wanting to throw someone out for supporting the British Conservative or Labour Party. Might be some value in that though.... 😂

British can do it too. I did it recently with zero issues. But if someone wants to use an agent as they feel more comfortable then it's up to them. I won't be condescending to them.

I'm a bit confused by your reply, but that may be my issue for not being fully clear. Maybe you didn't know that I'm not American so I come at this from a non-American viewpoint. No way I'd be disrespectful to an American because of their President and I can't see any reason for anybody to be so. Disagree with an individual for their views or behaviour, that's fair enough, but not for the actions or inactions of someone that was duly elected as per their constitution by millions of people.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 10/100 My Time 88 seconds

Wow, what a screw up!

Looks like I'll have to stay in the bar then...

Perhaps should be price-matched with what UK people are charged? E.g. should be £16 for US visitors to match what the US charges.

I've no problem with his request. He has to pay for 100% of it though.

Yeah, saw some towels in Nana recently...

I have pumped up many parts of the Thai economy. Most of them from Isaan.

FFS. These idiots need to get caught, pay every single penny towards the repairs with zero cost to the tax payer and the University, then pay for their own one-way flights out of the country.

Interesting. I've always thought that someone who wants to be transgender has a mental health issue. So this possibly is okay to be considered. Unless it's a sex crime, where a "man" attacks a woman, the sentence should indeed be two-tier. It should be trebled or more.

Only utter idiots will make any ordinary American citizen a pariah because of their President. Whether it's Trump or Biden or any other President in history or in the future.

This is absolutely amazing. Such a simple thing for Trump to do to make this the best day of this kid's life. I hope the kid is able to battle his way past this cancer and come out the other side fit and healthy.

Yes. And be sued by the BBC for the reputational damage caused.
