  1. Liverpudlians are supposedly famed for their sense of humour. This sourpuss contents himself at sniping at FORUM contributors.
  2. AKA 'deaf, dumb and blind kids'. The Who.
  3. I didn't know Banglamung had a large force - I never see them especially: on the roads; at rush hour; weekends; after dark; Public Holidays.
  4. These billions may be intended for good works but much of it will be creamed off - like the Tsunami Charity donations that never reached the victims but were used by big business to grab prime land.
  5. Thereby dashing RTP's hopes of an after hours' bonanza. (Though they probably get to decide which venues are approved.)
  6. Lots of folk in brown uniforms gazing through the windows of air-conditioned offices debating whether to investigate a plume of smoke five kilometres away or have another coffee.
  7. They did and it was a huge scam from start to finish: photos of hollow rice mountains; millions imported from Vietnam/Cambodia; PM arrested. Let's see how this one fares.
  8. His clones are usually female.
  9. Does his visa allow him to stay longer than 6 months?
  10. I went to TPB. I found episodes 1,2,3,4,6 but no 5?
  11. 10 years ago my then-wife was extorted by a Sattahip cop who threatened to make my next-year's visa 'difficult'. He took 15K from her.
  12. What Mooban was it? I think I recognise the houses but can't recall the name.
  13. Now I know why I've been coughing a lot lately.
  14. No strings on him; he is a glove puppet with Thaksin's hand inserted.
  15. hourly. Except: after the hours of darkness; on weekdays before 11am; after 3pm on weekdays; Public Holidays; during the 14 Dangerous Days of the year when they get overtime for playing on their phones.
  16. I hate Julian Fellowes, the writer. He has copied the UK series 'Upstairs and Downstairs' and written a couple of series set in UK. Now he's repeated the format in US. I'm jealous because I can't get a sniff of an agent as I am not from the Aristocracy and 81.
  17. I love it. The central character is riveting and her daughter delightful.
  18. They are against anything that prolongs their expected supposed working hours. Note only SOME police were against it; the others were salivating at the prospect of a further two hours of banditry.
  19. It's almost funny the way Thais immediately form a committee immediately AFTER a tragedy.
  20. With no police force to deter this sort of behaviour the guy becomes just another statistic.
  21. What about everything else they are guilty of? Skimming? Price-fixing? Nepotism?
  22. She's merely another Shin clone like Yingluck was.
  23. I used to cash a cheque for staff wages every month at the K Bank at Lotus S. Pattaya. Every month for five years I was viewed as a terrorist. Because I didn't know the Thai year, I used to ask the cashier to write the date in. One month she wrote it on a piece of paper and I copied it onto the cheque using a pen chained to the counter. It was a different colour from the other writing on the cheque! The bank refused the cheque and lost the million+ deposit as we changed banks shortly after because I refused to make a 30 kms round trip for another cheque from the treasurer. I told the manager I would do this if she didn't cash the cheque; she just shrugged.
