  1. 1) Why is he a liar - in what way did he lie in his post? 2) I don't think he made an altogether unfair comparison, "P Diddy" broke the law and revelled in flaunting his open rejection of what is regarded as a "moral" code. Donald Trump is also convicted of breaking the law, and his approach to what many see as American society's "moral code" is to say the very least ambiguous! Then of course there is the delicious irony of you accusing another of being obsessed!
  2. Isn't there the little matter of the 2026 mid term elections first? They are quite likely to spark a remarkable reaction from the Trump Administration, which apart from being entertaining in itself, may well significantly diminish the Trump/Vance brand.
  3. Is there an extension available for Google Translate that we can use to understand some of these posts?
  4. Unparalleled opportunity to take the piss?
  5. First she must get into her hot MILF attorney outfit. Last seen wearing her hot MILF alligator hunting costume!
  6. DWP; acronyms! The agency which used to manage the "defence estate" amongst other things was at one time known as The Ministry of Public Buildings and Works (MPBW or Ministry of Public Blunders and Wonders). It then was renamed The Property Services Agency (PSA or Portakabins, Sheds and Attics) then again Department of The Environment (DOE or Devastation over Europe). It made no difference - the roof still leaked!
  7. The problem is not at the UK end, it is in the USA banking system. Yesterday was a holiday to celebrate the French, Dutch and Spanish kicking the British out of some of their North American Colonies!
  8. USA is light years behind in banking practices. I too was due to receive on Friday. Normally it appears in my bank at around midday, which suggests that the "Bank run" is conducted between midnight and 1am - 11 hours difference between New York and Thailand. There is no reason whatsoever why the transfer can't be made a couple of hours earlier! And let's not go there as to why the 7th largest economy in the world cannot do it itself!
  9. Brings a whole new meaning to nutty as a fruitcake!
  10. The most significant reform that could be applied to the military is to sew up their bloody pockets!
  11. Like any Thai based computer system, far better to delay implementation until the school holidays when expert help is available.
  12. The Andaman Sea is plenty deep enough for submarines! Of course to reach it from the golf complex with a submarine base attached ( built for sound strategic reasons within 40 minutes Benz driving time of Bangkok) the submarine will have to pass round Singaporeand through the Malacca Straits - one of the most heavily monitored and busiest stretches of water in the world. But never fear - a brilliant plan is in the pipeline, a canal across the Krah Isthmus!
  13. And there, amidst the chaos, sits Krungthai Bank! What a surprise!
  14. I suspect that he only wants the job permanently, and if/therefore with the backing of the military.
  15. Goodness me, that Epstein fellow wasn't onto an original scheme them? Apples falling from trees and so on...
  16. I doubt it really crosses their minds, let alone giving them cause to think about it. I say hello, occasionally lend a ladder or similar, and occasionally hire one to work in the garden or other odd jobs. I am a retired teacher, and am occasionally asked to help out in the local school. Cue the inevitable hysteria about work permits...
  17. Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down! Mind you, 'tis one of the best impressions of a bulldog chewing a wasp I've seen for quite some time!
  18. Questionable? Cash on delivery is a long standing practice!
  19. No-one denies that some British people can be silly, make mistakes and make foolish statements at times, which of course are magnified by "social media". You are, I understand from Scandinavia (Sweden)? It must be a great relief to know that the Nordic gene pool does not allow such things to happen!
  20. In my experience at my local rural hospital you will be able to see a doctor within at most 3 hours of presenting yourself, and the hospital has a small laboratory capable of testing and quickly diagnosing the prevalent local diseases, which include scrun typhus.
  21. Well of course if the post is to go to a General it will no doubt go to a consumate ptofessional and universally highly regarded officer, one with extensive operational command experience, who has led troops in conflict zones, probably with a couple of gallantary awards, a couple of tours with "special forces" under his belt and experience of managing and balancing the complex tactical, technical and logistical demands of modern high intensity war fighting. On the other hand...
  22. Lost cause I am afraid. How long before he really turns on the media and his political opponents? Not long I suspect: precedents are being set, masked unidentified "Federal Agents" operating with no apparent accountability, troops deployed on the streets at his command, concentration camps being set up. Perhaps a year? Enjoy the media satire while it lasts, sites like the one above, "Diaper Diplomacy", will be amongst the first to go.
