  1. Have you seen the 'The Fog of War" by Robert S. McNamara the former Secretary of Defense under President John F. Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson. Its quite compelling, he admits the wrong doings and the lies , even went back to apologies to the Vietnamese. He also revisits the Fire Bombing of Japan, 100,000 people burnt to death in 9 hours, mostly all civilians. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
  2. Really djayz ? One of his most famous poems, that was turned into a book was "The Ballad of Reading Gaol"-(Jail). Did no one think to ask the teacher, what was he doing the "time" for.
  3. They will, (do) as soon as they both find out that they are step-brothers. Also Bosch is on his way out anyway, replaced by (of course) a female. Renée Ballard. The Movies are a long way behind the books.
  4. Why not , there are an estimated 570,000 over stayers on the Island that I come from.
  5. Could you be specific woodsplinter-- "I will be arriving in Thailand on a 30 day tourist visa".... So you have a 30 day Visa? --or you are arriving with no Visa at all. As someone pointed out , it makes a difference to some Airlines if you are just traveling 1 way with no Visa to enter. Because if they (Thailand) didn't let you enter..(very unusual) The Airline would be responsible for you and your many bags.
  6. Maybe he will improve----there is some wonderful street art around the place......
  7. You done well Rangers--- I was hoping for an all UK final, but the Hammers slipped up. So your have to do it alone----- good luck.
  8. They should dismiss anyone connected with the case---it really is a disgrace. And there should not be a sunset clause on murder. ......................... .
  9. Sorry Hotchilli--- slipped back into English slang--- Geordie = someone born in or near Newcastle north England.
  10. I prefer the Westminster system -- where they are elected from the parliament ---but of course it has to be by elected members of the parliament not as it seems to be here. This is the Gordie guy isn't it--- ??
  11. Some of the prices that get quoted on here ---seem a little OTT. If its just a standard clean, I do it myself, but if its (what I call ) a deep clean, using the vacuum machine and checking gas level etc , then I have to pay 400--500 baht. I know things in Issan are a lot cheaper, but 3,000 baht to clean your air con. Come on--that's just mad.
  12. I am quite sure that you wouldn't appreciate if White kids in Thai schools got singled out stating that they are probably terrorist's ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello.......its a joke page
  13. The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe.. ITV- 4 episodes Every Brit will know the story-plus it been done a few times over the years, but its still worth a look , first episode was good. It is one of the most notorious cases of fraud in history, the story of John Darwin, who faked his own death with the help of his wife Anne, in order to claim his life insurance and avoid bankruptcy. Now Eddie Marsan stars as John Darwin in the television retelling of the unbelievable true story,
  14. I don't believe in reincarnation. What would be the point of coming back as a tin of milk.............
  15. How do you make a Black Russian--? Ask the BBC to do a remake of Doctor Zhivago
  16. Are you calling from outside the country Peter ??
  17. The embassy people---if he came from the UK, it would be safe to say that if the apartment was more then 50 yards away, they wont be visiting it.
  18. My wife did the same--she was taking driving lessons in Pattaya about 15 years ago. Panicked stamped on the accelerator when a high set tourist bus pulled out in front of her, nearly went under it, what a mess. She was really shaken up when she got home. I got a phone call the next day--asking if I would pay for all the damages. I said your a driving school, dont you have insurance? she said they did but the company manager would prefer it if I paid instead. I had to seek medical help on the 3rd day to try to stop the giggling..............
  19. Sean Dyche sacked by Burnley. But don't worry Burnley fans. Coming over the silhouette of the gasworks, is it a bird, is it a plane, no, ...................it's Supersam.
