Luckily I was working in BKK at the time as I might have got myself into a sticky situation had I been there. The owner was present and it was his crop. My gf filmed it all and ripped him to pieces (verbally). Apparently the little scrote was on his knees begging us not to report it to the authorities or put in on social media. We're still discussing the next steps as she doesn't want to create a lifelong fued with him. He's promised not to do it again and cut it instead of burn it next time but I highly doubt he is believable. It would be great if they would just enforce the law but no, they just pontificate and "urge".

I am keeping on topic. You keep using the word fascistic. I am saying it is totally inappropriate in the context you are using it.

Throwing the word fascist around for everyone you disagree with just dilutes the effect. You really should stop that.

It's nothing like Putin's. Stop being so dramatic.

A fascistic backlash against LGBT civil rights in the USA? ???? Hyperbolic much?

Let's hope they do. They appeared at the land next to our place at 10pm the other day. Scurried in like a load of rats and set fire to the field next to our house. No warning for us to move our cars, motorbikes, tractor, gasoline canisters etc. You can see how close it is as there is part of the garage roof in the photo. Lucky the wind direction didn't change. Deeply irresponsible.

Same here. I switched from Cigarettes to Vapes, then quit vapes. The good thing about Vapes is that you don't have to smoke a whole cigarette every time you need a puff or two. You can just have a single puff when you really need it and put it back in your pocket, making it easier to cut down on intake and eventually quit. Banning them is insane. They should legalize them, tax them, and regulate the quality of the product to ensure it is as safe as possible.

An avid Guardian reader. So yes, always contempt for the Country, the Tories, the Working Classes, the Royal Family etc. It comes with the territory.

I attended this in '98. It was OK for 20 minutes. Got a bit bored of all the attention seekers. I ended up going to the pub and betting on the horses for the rest of the afternoon, won a couple of hundred bucks. It was a good afternoon.

Indeed. Sunak appears to have made another important step in disentangling NI from the EU's tentacles. He's not there yet, but one step at a time. Give it another couple of years and then we go again. As the EU continues to weaken, it should be easier to remove NI completely from the tired old grip of the corrupt EU.

Of course the ECJ is the sole arbiter of EU law. Kind of stating the obvious isn't it? I'm not sure how you deduced from that statement that Britons ever shall be slaves, I guess you are unaware that Britain left the EU and is therefore no longer subject to the ECJ. Of course, that's assuming you are aware that NI is not in Britain...????

Definitely an own goal. The view from behind the far post (at 0:15) clearly shows it was going a couple of metres wide.

Yeah, a bit fortunate with the goals I thought. Casemiro's looked like he pushed the Newcastle defender in the back (also touch and go on the offside) and Rashford's was a fortunate deflection but despite that, they probably deserved to win it overall.

I go to Cowboy sometimes. It's a good people watching spot and can be quite entertaining. I've been doing so for over a decade. Never had serious issues like this. I've had girls buy themselves 2 drinks when I told them to get one, but that's about it. Nothing serious. When I tell them to take it off the bill, they sheepishly do. I heard Patpong is worse, but I rarely go there so couldn't confirm. Never had issues there on the occasions I've been though...

Pretty much what I said above. It's a bit of a trend. I do understand why people such as yourself find it annoying. It's a bit like when that super cool band that only you and your mates knew about ends up on Top of the Pops with a load of chavs dancing to it. Plus, the more LGBTQ there are, the less "special" it is. If the trend continues then as a straight white male maybe I can be special by the age of 70? That would be awesome. I wouldn't even need to do anything. Just be special by the way i was born, same as the LGBTQ crew. Ok maybe I wouldn't be special. But at least I wouldn't have all 3 of the cardinal sins. Straight, white AND male.????

It's the least bad option IMO, and it would be churlish to ignore the money they bring in via tourism, the soft power around the world, the charity work etc. The problem with it is that Harry could have been first and then we'd be facing a future with a complete plank as head of state. Fortunately, William was born first but I don't like the idea that we essentially rely on luck in terms of who gets the position. Having said that, if Harry was first born he might not have turned out to be such a jealous, spiteful, vindictive brat. He'd still have been intellectually challenged though.

Great news. A vile creature. Hopefully this sends a message to others in the industry. Bad news for the Democrats though, he was one of their most prolific donors.

Off topic, but there are no allegations of Paedophilia against Andrew. Paedophilia relates to sexually abusing children 13 or under. Having consensual sex with a 17 year old in London (there is no proof that he did) is neither illegal nor paedophilia. Again off topic. This thread is about Harry and Meghan and the SouthPark episode. But yes, 67% of the UK support retaining the monarchy. I'd imagine that will rise further with the dignified way they have dealt with Harry and Harry's wife's vindictive campaign of lies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_United_Kingdom#:~:text=In May 2022%2C ahead of,figure stood firm at 67%.

Back in reality, their approval rating is dropping like a stone. Obviously Brit haters support what they are trying to do but they are a tiny minority. https://www.skynews.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity-life/meghan-and-harrys-approval-rating-hits-shocking-low-as-couple-becomes-more-disliked-than-even-prince-andrew/news-story/3fe3660766da409ec5adf06190cf56e9

No problem at all with Cockney's. Lived there for 3 years. Most Mancunians I know are pretty decent blokes and enjoy a bit of banter without getting all spiteful and vindictive at the drop of a hat. Which is why I have my doubts about you.????

Yeah you could be right. I can see Arsenal bottling it though. City probably won't, although you never know when Pep is going to introduce some bizarre new system in key games.

Yeah I can believe you are. The other muppet sounds like a Cockney.

Course you are... ????

I bet the goals scored and conceded are different as well. They play at different grounds as well. Different coloured shirts. You're right, a terrible comparison ????????

Been following the sport since 78. Played to a decent level as well. I'm not some plastic red who chooses the winning team to support though ????. That drive up the M1 must get tiring ????.
