Trump said that if he was there he would run in to the school even if he didn't have a gun.  Is time for a poll to see how many of us would have wanted "old bone spurs" to have done that?

That's not all he said to a group of state governors:

"Don't worry about the NRA, they're on our side,"

I've just realised that this article is dated Nov. '17....

 

What the hell is going on when this is posted as "news"???? 

The photo was taken in Nov '17.  The story is "© Copyright Reuters 2018-02-26"

The Slive Hotel is a brand new one, right on the main road (226) opposite Surin Hospital.  It would be a fair walk to the entertainment district, but there is always plenty of transport around the hospital night and day.  I always wondered about the name whenever I drove past it, bringing up visions of slimy slaves, (though, granted, some people might get turned on by that sort of thing), but apparently it's short for sleep and live, which is better than the alternative, I suppose.

You probably get balls in meat pies more often than you think.  It's not the best meat that they put in pies.

What you don't know won't hurt you.  It's when it's recognisable that it counts.  Like finding a vein in your hotdog.

Well it seems I am going after all.

Tickets purchased in the Marquez stand.

Will be making a trip home from Singapore for the race, riding there from Korat on my 939 Ducati with my brother in law on the R3.

Tickets almost sold out already.

Cheers 

But, why would anyone want to buy a ticket when there's no way to get to the circuit from Bangkok, and no place to stay if you do manage to find it?  Does this mean that all the negative posts have just been a huge case of Thai bashing sour grapes?

Yeah..in the greater scheme of things meat pies are almost paraamount..

 

There I was,just the other day,buying a beef and mushroom pie from a Cambodian couple in my native (Austalian) town-they came from Siem Riep and I had a ball.

 

Thank God,Yahweh,Jesus,Sriva,Allah,Beelezubub,Quetzllcoatl..or whomsoever...for  a sense of humour.

I once had a ball in a meat pie too.  Never going back to that shop.

According to many of the posts on the shirtless farang thread it isn't.

Hope who ever drafted the KFC supply contract with DHL had some good performance provisions and damages clauses included!

He's perfectly safe.  Everytime they try to point the finger at him someone licks it.

Of course they won't take part in these, so far, small protests. They are cowards.  But if the protests did manage to escalate and start attracting more people, they would be in there, pushing their way to the front of the stage and taking over like Suthep did in 2013.  The only thing that frightens each side more than the other taking power is the thought of a genuine grassroots movement gaining popularity and removing all their noses from the trough.

Bass players don't really play though. They just stand there with a dumb look on their face and pretend to play so technically they aren't working.

Yeah, Paul McCartney, Lemmy, Roger Waters and Sting are all known for standing there doing nothing.

You would have thought the British Embassy would be up sizing because of Brexit

There's no room.  That's where the British Embassy is moving to.

If you are British don't take it too badly. Every country in the world has at least one stand-out political buffoon. Even Thailand is no exception the this rule.

But to be fair, she has now left the building.  Not that she was ever in there that much to start with.

Road to Brexit?  It's been done already.

And the laughing at, not with, Trump continues:

"Hollywood star Robert De Niro took aim at the Trump administration's stance on climate change, telling a packed audience in the Middle East that he was visiting from a "backward" country suffering from "temporary insanity".... 

....De Niro received applause and laughs when he said the U.S. "will eventually cure itself by voting our dangerous leader" out of office".

The seats are perfectly adequate.  You just need to request one on the aisle...

Public Assistance ( TANF, Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI, EITC and Housing Assistance ) should be reserved for White Americans. All others need not apply.

 

I'd wager that immigrant participation in these programs is quite small if even measurable?

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Seriously, it might be simpler to just say that every immigrant must be approved by Stephen Miller?

We're not going to let you in
