A couple take on an 18 year old girl as a lodger.

She asked if she could have a bath but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bathroom and she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

"Mondays the best night, when my husband goes out to darts", she said, so the girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday.

After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched as the girl got undressed.

She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair and told her husband when he came home.

He didn't believe her so she said, "Next week I'll leave a gap in the curtains so that you can see for yourself".

The following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked, "Do you shave?"

"No", replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hairs down there. Do you have hairs?"

"Oh yes", said the woman and she showed off her great, hairy muff.

When the husband got back in she asked, "Did you see it?"

"Yes", he said. "But why did you have to show her yours?"

"Why not?" she said. "You've seen it all before."

"I know", he said, "but the f***ing darts team hasn't"!

Thai police today clashed with thousands of anti-government protesters in Bangkok.

Scuffles broke out during a demonstration intended to put pressure on the prime minister, Samak Sundaravej, to resign.

Protesters claim Samak's government is a proxy for the former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a military coup two years ago.

His People's Power party won a general election last December, and his cabinet is packed with Thaksin's allies. Opposition politicians claim one of his administration's top priorities is rehabilitating the ousted PM.

Around 10,000 demonstrators, spearheaded by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) movement, have converged on Government House in the Thai capital, the co-PAD leader, retired major general Chamlong Srimuang, said.

Police equipped with tear gas and water cannon have put up barricades around the building.

Major General Surapol Tuanthong, a police spokesman, said about 5,000 officers had been deployed to block roads and prevent "the mob" from getting near.

One group of 1,000 protesters broke through a line of about 200 police at barricades, but were stopped by other security personnel.

Another group of several thousand pushed against police armed with shields and clubs.

Around a dozen demonstrators sustained minor injuries during the scuffles, but an almost festive atmosphere prevailed in other areas as protesters waved, cheered and talked to security officials.

The PAD, a collection of businessmen, academics and royalists united by a dislike of Thaksin, called on hundreds of thousands of people to attend the protest.

The Metropolitan police chief, Lieutenant-General Aswin Kwanmuang, said the PAD - whose 2005 campaign against Thaksin led to the military coup two years ago - should abandon their siege of Government House.

"We urge the PAD not to damage the country further," he added. "Political problems should be solved in parliament, not on the street."

The army chief, Anupong Paochinda - a member of the military council that ousted Thaksin - insisted the army would not get involved, saying: "Politics must be resolved by political means."

Yet another example of press agency untruths and over exageration.

We,ve had ASTV on live and again i,ve not seen anything of what your article suggests and nor have my Thai family

Go take a look for yourself if you want and come back to me with your observations and alleged unrest that is supposedly taking place.

As for the photo, it isn,t very difficult for even an amateur to make it appear to be confrontational and who is to say if the guy at the fore front is not a paid trouble maker, along with the others.?????

Then again this sort of distortion of reality sells more papers and gets him more for his article.

They,d hardly publish a boring peaceful scenario as this isn,t going to sell their front page press releases.

marshbags

My intention of posting this article, is to allow TV members to see how the international press are refering to the situation.

As at the end of the day, it is usefull to understand how the global audience are informed, thus we can be prepared to counter act such news stories.

Chanel 3 has apparently reported a crowd of 20 000, and, hold on, hundreds dead. Ridiculous attempts at scaring away more who want to join.

is there a reliable news source to confirm this?

ok , so it has passed the 5pm D Day deadline.... any news????????? will they break in to the goverment house?

blood stain bed sheets!, no reason to think of fowl play!...... will be noted as natural death or even sucide, thus to save paper work...

I think this is a very strange situation. Who is responsible? The entire Thai political system. I wonder whether there is any way out!

It might be that the Thai society is not yet mature enough for a real democracy. I do not intend to offend Thai people in saying this, but the way the country is going now doesn't do good for anyone....

i agree with you on this one....

For those who don't know yet, you can get more or less "English live commentary coverage now on TOC"

http://www.thailandoutlook.tv/

Can't get the live broadcast to play. Anyone else?

It was playing before, now stopped those, as with the other news sites as well!

Hope the Goverment are not blocking this

TNN live feed shows demonstartors walking through breached police lines and bypassing trucks right now at 2PM.

have you got the link to TNN?, cannot find on google

The electric company has been quoted as saying that this poor lad's death was "an act of God".

Nothing to do with their shoddy maintenance then????

Since when has negligence been "an act of god"

I hope the guy had good travel insurance with legal assistance and they vigorously pursue those responsible for substantial compensation for his family.

Here in the UK even the directors of the Electricity Company could face a term in prison for "corporate Manslaughter".

BB

AS in my previous post, i mention Coporate Manslaughter, but would this legally bind here in Thailand?

well i hope the electricty company dually remove there stickers ' Safety First '

If this had happened anywhere else in the world, it would make front page news, with compensation most probably running into the Millions of Dollars for the family, oh and not to forget the company directors being charged with Coporate manslaughter!....

But TIT, and nothing will probably happen

RIP

I changing jobs and have had my work permit cancelled from my old job. I now have a new Non-b visa with my new company so what docs do I need from my ex-employer to confirm that my work permit is cancelled?

All I have is a scanned copy of the page of my work permit confirming it has been cancelled.

Cheers

Get your new HR department to contact your old HR department..... this is the easiest way

you are correct, there is a lack of good camera men in Thailand

I had a friend who was doing the same as you before, and the way he did it was by setting up his own company, thus gaining a work permit.

your best bet is to speak with a law firm , IE sunbelt Asia or Siam Legal, as they will be able to give you the best advise and help you out

Cheers

It's the best Animal attraction on Samui...

apart from the ladyboy shows

I think people who volunteer to help should be congratulated, and not just a target for ridicule - which is most likely due to envy by the way.

I'm not trying to mock these people, I'm sure they are really usefull... I'm just trying to understand why one would like to join the force ?

As these people do not have jobs, and are just in thailand to relax!, thus it gives them some excitment in there lives....

agree, you can pick them up on ebay for next to nothing

funnily enough i was waiting for someone to post that pic boater.
