I bet that fooled a few people

I used to have that in the village where I lived it turned out to be the public address system that used to broadcast the news every day - then everyone got TVs and so it ended up being the headman sharing his tastes in music.

Fire at plastic factory in Samut Sakhon

I told them they should have used bricks.

I suspect the pitot tubes. Airbus has had problems with these before (air france crash for example) they were all supposed to be replaced as they had a problem with icing, leading to speed and altitude measurement problems.

So which one is the category 2 drug? They both should be category 1. Also, I thought I read an article here a while back that said Kratom is legal again?!

Everyone wanted it to be legal except the ministry of public health and the foreign pharma companies that ...ahem... pay their wages

I just picked up my new passport today, exactly 2 weeks after the initial interview

The place is falling apart.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Just trying to remember who said that.

It was one of Churchill's gems, but I can't remember in reference to what point in WW2,, I though it was the Battle of Britain but that was the never in the history of.....so much owed by so many to so few quote.

He said it after the battle of el alahmein

Blame the colonial British who supplied the Chinese with ship loads of Opium to offset the trade

balance just before the 1856-1860 Opium war...

Actually you can blame the CIA for teaching the nationalist Chinese in the golden triangle how to make heroin. Look it up on google.

It used to be that the wife should be 1/2 a man's age + 7 when they marry.

There is a serious side to the event - viagra type pills can be dangerous, especially in the elderly. A friend of mine in the UK died at the age of 61 after taking a viagra type medication. This is the second case I have heard of.

According to statistics (2011) of Germany's Federal Health Office and the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) it had been reported that 30 died in Germany, 77 in Europe and 616

worldwide after taking Viagra.

What I find strange is that it was originally developed as a heart medicine

'Head on' means two vehicles traelling towards each other. How fast was the tree going?

This topic always brings out the compassionate side of TV commentators </sarcasm> Its funny that in social psychology they believe that the people who protest the most about something are usually the most guilty of it themselves.http://m.psp.sagepub.com/content/5/1/44.abstract

The man is still innocent until he has been found guilty ina court of law. And judging by the witchhunt going on in the UK I wouldn't trust the Police or CPS an inch - for example Cliff Richard

I wondered why the turkey baster I bought on the market was so damn small

My missus said the Thai newspapers are reporting that he hadd all his money stolen by a Thai woman (bargirl), so he was desperate.

Maybe they can ban smoke emmitting buses and pick ups which REALLY cause cancer - more particles in 1 minute than a smoker emits in a lifetime. Btw very odd way of increasing tourism to ban 20%+ of your potential clientel.

I trust that this clown fully realizes that this frenzied ISIS caliphate is a direct result of the vacuum that both he and Bush created with their invasion of Iraq and subsequent withdrawal.

The man is a narcissistic moron more suited for celebrity status than leadership.

I guess the fact the ISIS was formed in 1996, before anyone had a Tony Blair or George Bush, has escaped your attention. So much for "direct results". Study, learn......

Actually it was formed in 1999 but never really got going until 2004 when it fought against the occupation. Without the Iraq war it would have sunk into obscurity.

The UK prime minister that committed the country to more wars than any other in history (5) now wants another one. BTW, how's that middle east peace envoy thing going Tony?

They will need to update the pathetically slow internet then.

Great, wish they would ban them here in Thailand or if not charge crazy prices per bag like they do in the UK.

I left the UK to get away from nanny state tossers and now you've followed me over here. Thailand happens to be one of the largest manufacturers of biodegrable bags.

Most smokers are inconsiderate.

Even with the E cigs!

This week I was dinning in a fine restaurant and two men were puffing on their E cigs and the smoke was so annoying I had to move the plates and glasses to another table.

In view of the foregoing, I'm in favor of a ban on E cigs.

I see idiots stomping out lite cigarettes on hard wood floors in restaurants where they should not even be smoking.

The streets and sidewalks are littered with them.

If you smoke, be considerate.

what smoke? It is steam! Meanwhile you breath in diesel fumes which are the main cause of lung cancer.

Are there any up to date and recent photos of the couple who did this? It might help us to keep an eye out for them. They should not get away with this.
