re: handing out degrees .... dpends on the Uni

I wonder what the controversy was about though. Maybe if he makes a substantial contribution, he's allowed to hand out diplomas in exchange, polishing his image.

None.

It's really a shame. I always tuned to 107 when in the car, great format, great variety of news sources. Music was allright too. I like to listen to their webcast when I m around the house. I bet a lot of tourists were tuning in as well.

I just watched it on the internet, for those who would like to know how, just send me a PM. Had I known how before... I 've missed 3 seasons since moving here .

Race is over.

Oh, and my friend Jacques crashed...

Hey Penzman

Don't know what race you were watching but Jacques retired on lap 23 with mechanical problems.

Now Heidfeld that was a crash! and as for Giulio friend? yes the Monaco cheat did win

TBWG

I did not see what happened, mind you , I was watching a Chinese webcast I thought also it was strange that the car was abandoned on the inside of the curve...

I watched it on star sports....in a gogo bar.

Do people really shout GOGOGO?

Are the washing machines so good that you could actually use them to make salad dressing and save the cost of a blender?

He can't be allowed to go on this way. He's on mission these days, radio show, pay raise promises, pretending he'll be at the World Cup to appeal to football fans to look cool, has apparently NOT met GWB and says he did, I even saw him handing out diplomas on tv today Isn't that usually done by "someone else" ? This latest one made the Thai tv news today and commentators seemed upset.

Like Chuck Yeager, pushin' the envelope...

Thaksin confirms plan to attend World Cup final

Caretaker Premier Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday confirmed his intention to attend the World Cup final in Berlin later this week, hinting that he would be happy to meet any other world leaders attending the sporting event.

Chirac- "Quit poking my ribs, I'm trying to watch the game. How did you get in here anyway?"

"As of this moment, I am confirmed to go," Thaksin said Sunday of his plans to watch the final match in Berlin. In the comfort of a hotel room? He never mentioned having tickets...

"I support every team," he said.

Thaksin said he would also take the opportunity to meet with any foreign leaders who might be attending the soccer finale - something domestic critics have said violated diplomatic protocol since he heads a caretaker government.

"Products like sports shirts and balls made in Thailand, as well as Thai referees, have gone to the World Cup, so I want to see Thai prime ministers go to the World Cup as well," Thaksin told the staterun Thai News Agency (TNA).

........and my friend schumacher(FERRARI )win!!!!!!!!!1

A chimp in a Ferrari could probably do the same. Massa did...

The sending off was correct, unfortunately. But the portuguese baited it.

I spoke to my boys in france. They are going to DESTROY the portuguese.

Portugal is good for one thing, and one thing only.

Holidays.

His godlike omnipresence amazes me.

I bet that the fact that you are phisicaly placing the bet from within Thailand is illegal, wherever the money comes from.

Subliminal Kayo.

I have a 14 foot boat in the carpark and we just bought a truck. Missing an outboard motor now...

Yes, that's right but always thought it was wrong.

I've always Assum(ed) their polls were biased or totally out of whack..

The fact that his radio broadcast avoided mentioning the charges pending against his party says a lot. He's like one of those crazy drivers you see in car chases on tv, they can go full throttle for a while but always end up crashing badly, his engine's overheating, the law on his tail and the PAD, media and opposition are watching his every move from above.

17 years!!! The Saudis never gave up. They must have encountered multiple barrages of coverups and incompetence...

That will surely do a lot more good that shooting civilians all over the place.

He said that more than 100 officials were apprehended on drug-related charges during the first half of this year, he said, but also indicated that "no government officials were found to be involved with major drug traders."

What about TOP government officials?

Next, apply the same rules towards corrupt policement AND government officials. Clean up time!

Toxin Shitiwater does not have the <deleted> to do that

I did say NEXT.

URGENT MESSAGE TO ADMIN: Please correct the spelling of this great man's name in the title.

Yeah, sorry to the Big Yin. I was having a bad moment when I typed it. I went back to try and edit the title but couldn't. Oh the shame of it.......

Corrected Billy's name.

I saw him years go at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada. <deleted>' hilaaarious he was.

One of his jokes I remember was about some place in Scotland he mentioned where it's so windy, the only way to take a pi5s is by lying on your back.

His omnipresence and interventions makes one wonder if he has become some sort of a god.

The democratic process was quasi non-existent already, just look at this caretaker government still going full steam with projects demanding beaucoup bucks, which are badly needed elsewhere. This whole situation had to happen eventually, the sooner the better. What we've observed in the last few years will not be allowed to happen again.

We must be getting bored we seem to be going over the why was the election called debate again. I bet nobody will change their opinion this time either.

Well, now that Mr T seems to be trying to confuse everyone by pointing the finger at others while his party is charged with the most serious electoral fraud, I have nothing against a bit of a refresher after over 1000 replies to this topic.

I think Thaksin must justify why he dissolved Parliament to begin with. It is obvious it was self serving and not for the benefit of the country. Without that justification reason, it would add support to the democrats for not wanting to play Thaksin’s game. Hence the April 2nd action actually helped to strengthen democracy and country and not the opposite.

Cause and effect here guys! Go up one event.

Toxin as already given us the answer to this. When the PAD first entered the spotlight long ago, they made statements to the effect that the people of Thailand want him to step down. Toxin answered this by saying that he had been elected by x million voters and he took this as a mandate to stay the course and to at least finish his term of duty since he was duty bound to his supporters to continue. The PAD (and the opposition political parties) replied to this by claiming that the people no longer supported him and he no longer represented a majority of the people. They pretty much kept up pressure on this front in their rhetoric....so...Toxin called their bluff and said, ok...you think that the people don't want me....then lets let the people decide who they want...lets have an election.

So, that was a personal issue, he had already been elected, why not simply ignore these protests and save the country huge costs and efforts if he felt he had been so strongly elected previously? He simply had nothing valuable to offer. Don't forget the snap election's intimidations and tactics with the new positioning of the ballot boxes, which by the way, were made of cardboard this year, what happened to the metal ones used a year ago? Why the sudden need of a rubber stamp that took away each and every voter's unique signature if he chose to do so, or there was just no pencil available for them to use? If you ever see the footage showing Chamlong at the voting booth, he grabs the pen attached to it and it has no ink or it has dried out. He reached into his pocket and used his own. There are many other opportunist irregularities the TRT party took advante of that I won't mention :whistling:

That's why he did it. He did it because it seemed that the opposition (indluding the PAD) viewed legitimacy as coming from the people and they claimed that Toxin lacked that legitimacy......how wrong they were. In the election it was clearly demonstrated that Toxin still commands a clear majority of the votes. Every unbiased count of votes and every reasonable allocation of what the no votes meant and what their impact would have been if they had been cast for someone still indicates that Toxin won a majority vote.

I think what happened was that in the heat of rhetoric the opposition made statements about who the majority supported without ever really checking out the popular sentiment in the country. After Toxin announced the election they quickly did some estimations and found out how wrong they were.....hence their need to find a strategy to thwart the democratic electoral process....which in a certain sense they had unleashed themselves.
