Can I perform self-castration? I don't mind if I can superseded that of prime minsters (Thaskin/Samak/Somchai/Mark/etc).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunuch

In ancient China castration was both a traditional punishment (until the Sui Dynasty) and a means of gaining employment in the Imperial service. At the end of the Ming Dynasty there were about 3,000 eunuchs (宦官 huànguān, or 太監 tàijiàn) employed by the emperor, with some serving inside the Imperial palace. Certain eunuchs gained immense power that occasionally superseded that of prime ministers. Self-castration was commonplace and half-hearted attempts were sometimes made to make it illegal. The number of eunuchs in Imperial employ had fallen to 470 in 1912, when the practice of using them ceased.

Abhist has no schedule to enter Government House Friday

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Friday that he has no schedule to enter his office at the Government House throughout the day.

But he said if he has free time, he may enter his office.

The red-shirted protesters vowed to prevent Cabinet members from going into the Government House to work.

Abhisit said he discussed with Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban about the red-shirted protest and Suthep ensured him that the government is still control of the situation.

How long can he hind before he move his office to the Foreign Ministry (where PAD is in-charged).

Are the Red angry that Thaksin got kick out?

Or are they angry that the Army kick an elected govt out?

Or are they angry that the Army abusing King's name to kick an elected govt out?

I am not too sure what I to believe anymore.

IMHO, Mark is a very handsome guy, so he should be the PM. Much nicer looking that Thaksin, Samak or Somchai anyway.

Its all so sad, people are used, cheated and robbed for the benefit of one man. Its throughout global history always the same shameless game, that common little man is used. And throughout history people seems to love the most the ones who cheated and oppresses them.

Watch out for the police. Jail term quite possible if charged.

UDD have learned from PAD that it is useless to take the govt house. They have also learn that it is more effective to take the airports. I fear some hard headed red-shirts might be provoked enough to move there. All hel_l will break loose before Monday (just my prediction).

Thaksin, and hence the red shirts, fear Kasit as he has extensive connections overseas due to his ambassador roles, plus he is a known enemy of Thaksin; he could well be thinking of cancelling Thaksin's passport soon.

I am sure this figures partly in the equation.

And there is no chance that Red Shirts hold a majority in the country.

Even if 300k show up next rally, that is no majority of 65 million.

They are just another noisy faction fighting for table scraps

and Thaksin's big payday.

You are right. Even if you have 30 million red shirt jaming the Govt house, it is still not a majority (out of 65 million total population). However, it will only take 3,000 red-shirt (or any color for that matter) to shut down the airport again. Now, let's see who is talking.

With chinese made GPS, I am not surprise that the Thai Army got lose, and end up in Cambodia.

Ban or not, I am stocking up at Tesco tonight.

More profit for the English Hypermarket chain.

Blue-shirts to counter red-shirts at airport

About 300 people clad in blue shirts gathered at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport Thursday afternoon to prevent a possible seizure by the red-shirted protesters.

The group led by Samrern Adisa, president of the club of operators of passenger vans in Bangkok and satellite provinces, gathered at the all-purpose ground of the airport at 3 pm.

Samrern said his group would peacefully rally there to prevent any attempt to seize the airport.

I chicken out going to take some photos. Here are some from PAD's website.

Like his father, Giles can never step Thailand again this life time.

Here comes BBC. A bit slow.

I hope they don't take the airport. I am flying out tomorrow.

I was planning to go there to take some photos. Now I change my mind. With the hungry Police and Army locked in, looks like bullets may be flying tonight.

No worry no hunger in Thailand....they have stock of food, but recalling the Austrian canned Army food, it might be a difficult decision: to starve or to eat......

At least it should be better that the rotten canned fish the government give out to the poor recently.

It is my tax money.

I'm a Thai national and I am seriously annoyed at how the government is dealing with this crisis.

For the love of god, respect the UN's decision already. It's just a bloody temple, we have 10,000 more of those in the country >.<

I'm especially sickened as to how the military treats this issue. Not too long ago someone (with a serious misunderstanding in history I might add) made a powerpoint on all the times we have lost territory. That included really retarded things like Indochina (which were our protectorates and not really national provinces) and the ceding of some southern provinces to Malaysia. Totally taken out of context (sacrificed VOLUNTARILY by Rama V to preserve our independence...a worthy sacrifice if I may add, not to mention how the lost territory is mostly jungles and mountains), the ppt did nothing but to rile up nationalism with exaggerations and falsities.

What did the military do?

They practically worship that thing. Every statistic, every written word is treated as the &lt;deleted&gt; bible. Not too long ago I went to the Ror Dor boot camp at Khao Chon Gai and sure enough, they devoted 2 hours and a colonel to drill this bullshit into our heads.

Did people believe it? I don't know, but it seems that about half were almost ready to run against a Cambodian machine gun, and the other half were too busy talking about DotA tactics

Don't claim unless you can prove.

Can you share this ppt please.

For the benefit of the more obtuse of forum members perhaps it would be pertinent to point out that Giles has quit the country for the very same reason that prevents a full and frank discussion of the topic here at TV.

Well said!

Moderator, pls shut down TV before Mark's LM police come knocking at your door.

Any restriction will mean big money for the Thai Police.

Just like Chicago long time ago, when the whole city (judge, police, politician, etc) are in Al's pay roll.

I want a USD 2,000 Tata Young Nana. Where can I buy it?

Sorry for the typo; I mean Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car for a cheap charlie like me.

My suggestion would be a much cheaper option is available at Khaosan Road "for entertainment purposes only", for less than even the shipping of this product.

I agree. It make no different to the Thai police. They are after your 500 Baht, not your real/fake driving license.

I better start growing some veggie. Don't want to go against the grain, or could go to jail for LM or disloyal.

If you have done something wrong, will you own up? No.

If Thai Army enter Khmer (which is wrong), the Thai side will keen quite about it.

The Thai Army will do everything in their power to blackout the news.

Just like the Thai Navy never advertise everytime they toll refuge out to sea.

I don't blame them. This is just human nature. Denine until caught with prove beyond doubt. Even Mark does that, remember?

Nobody give a darn about tonight protest. Getting 2,000 Baht from Mark to go shopping inside airconditioned mall (or buy stock), is better than getting 200 Baht from Thaksin to stand under the sun.

Thai stock market shoot up more than 5 poinst already. Do you think it is the 2,000 Baht cheque that drives up the market? For me, I better take profit just incase.

I think Dale is right. I was told the same before. I know it does not make sense (at least to me).

I have a large amount of cash in Euros, British pounds and other currencies in a small draw in the desk.

Can you please provide your address and leave your door unlock tonight.
