Ready to be sworn in.......already being sworn at.

It looks an awful lot like a Diamond DA 42 Twinstar with the cockpit windows sprayed white (this one from Stapleford Flying Club): According to this entry 6 were delivered to RTAF in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_DA42_Twin_Star Israeli converted? ???? "Oh no.....not again"?

This is nothing to do with Thais and Brits. ****heads all over the world do it........talk themselves into a beating. The severity of which is purely a matter of chance. No controversy attached to this incident whatsoever. It's what they do

You would have been the perfect tourist in Germany after the Nuremburg Race Laws were passed in 1935.

Never trust a PM who has to make a special visit to a market "to gain firsthand insight into the cost of living and food prices."

He has to exaggerate it. His mission in life is to try make other people feel as miserable, disillusioned and hopeless as he does. He tries it with virtually every post he makes. He has a serious problem. Thank you for shining some light in the grim darkness he seeks to spread.

Yes, As a child I used to enjoy a couple of them while watching "The Black and White Minstrel Show". “The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there,” "The Go-Between", E M Forster

Multiple times and still alive? Sounds more like self-harm as self-medication. Especially common with Borderline Personality Disorder. Depression is often an associated symptom of a condition........rather than a thing only of itself. (That will be 75 guineas please)

Have you stopped taking your medication?

Would it not be correct to say that the elections created Pheu Thai as what was formerly the second largest opposition party?

Nothing to do with health concerns. Thailand is doing the minimum possible to show "solidarity" with China: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-66613158

It has nothing to do with the health and well being of any Thai person. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-66613158

"Thais are stupendously ignorant regarding Hitler, WW2, etc. Remember when students included Hitler in super heroes mural?" They don't have a monopoly on ignorance, or is it ignorance? More from another very "nationlistically minded" Asian country:

Not very well thought out.

My friend (from one of those places up North......erm......yeah, that's it.......Darlington!) met a Thai person who learned their English, informally, in Newcastle.......thus they speak it sounding very much the Tynesider. Would you presume that they speak Thai sounding like one? After all your years in the Orient do you speak English with an homogenised "Oriental" accent? People will speak their own language in their own accent, "regional" or not. There can only be a ubiquity of accent if there is ubiquity of language. Which one is it going to be?

The "official" opposition, and its leader, in the fixed assembly, is doomed to be perceived as an ineffectual failure. MF is keeping its powder dry.

You can fool some of the people all of the time....... "In helping to sabotage Move Forward, by doing a deal with the army establishment that his party had promised to shun, Mr Thaksin has revealed that he is no friend of Thai democracy but rather an instrument of the status quo." The Economist, August 26

It was/is just another cynical, short term "gift to the people" (populist bribe) with no enduring value or merit.........typical fare of the Patrician Old Order. And MF still beat them in the election. "Mr Thaksin has revealed that he is no friend of Thai Democracy but rather an instrument of the status quo". The Economist, August 24th.

What is funny is that it happened to the sort of "aspirational" ****** (Rhymes with tanker) who calls themselves Mercedes P. BenzZaa. When I saw that my sympathy vanished as quickly as Pheu Thai election promises/loyalty to their ally.

He doesn't have a problem He has worked out that you have no dignity or self respect, and that you are a desperate attention seeker. He has worked out that you are so desperate for attention that you have, so to speak, put a sign on yourself reading "Please Kick Me", because such an invitation, on AN, is guaranteed to produce the desired "attention". He doesn't have my compassionate attitude towards individuals such as yourself, so he has taken up the offer. I, of course, would not dream of indulging your craving. PS The "what is your problem?" question reads as you underlining the words on the sign.

It will be both......broken and re-made. Arguably it is already broken.

As I said, time is taking care of "other people". ????

The audience seemed to like her. The sadly predictable ugly "first response" of the first post in the thread is obviously not based on any prior knowledge of her life experience. Transphobia is what she suffered before she went to Thailand, where she found some relief from it, but perhaps too much damage had already been done. Looking at what she is quoted as saying towards the end of this article I suppose that suicide may have been likely: "I hate it. I can't help being a woman. I wish I could. I've had a horrible life because of it. I can't imagine anyone ever choosing to be trans because it's so difficult to live with" https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/22/darcie-silver-trans-comedian-death-thailand/ I have never heard of her and I thank God that I can only imagine what it must be like to endure the misery of Gender Dysphoria: "Gender dysphoria is a term that describes a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity. This sense of unease or dissatisfaction may be so intense it can lead to depression and anxiety and have a harmful impact on daily life." Gender dysphoria - NHS At least such people now have more accessible routes to a possible solution or easement of it. But it still leaves "other people" to push them towards the worst solution.......however time is taking care of them, and most younger people I meet seem much less troubled by trans.
