I'm not that particularly "woke" but I find this article extremely offensive - sexist, "lookist" and superficial. Saying that they both look fine to me.....

I watched a programme recently on the Beeb where these scammers are actually held prisoner in compounds after being lured into "top jobs" in Cambodia doing telesales or some such - and then beaten and tortured if they don't make the grade. So maybe a little sympathy there. The owner of the compound is "above the law" and untouchable - sounds familiar. Ok the scammers themselves are niave for accepting these jobs but still....

I know what you mean. I am being accused of cradle-snatching.

This will be ideal for taking gangs of high-ranking officers (and maybe their wives but probably not ???? ) on jollies to other countries. Oh, sorry I meant "fact-finding missions"

Many (nearly forty) years ago I and my Thai wife and her daughter (now my step-daughter) relocated to the UK. My wife already had a British passport. We needed yes a letter from the natural father (I think a few thousand baht changed hands but I didn't enquire ???? ) and a statement from my bank that I was solvent that went to the British embassy. We also transalted all the birth and marriage certificates - the Brit Embassy told us which ones they accepted (don't try and find somebody cheaper to do it as I did first as the Embassy will reject it). My daughter already had a Thai passport. I think that was all we needed. Yes she had a different surname from my both my wife and I.

a) If you send it to my account I'll see you alright no worries trust me b) Load up a credit card that you can use in the UK? a) is better in my opinion but then I'm biased ????

Can't they just buy the various weapon systems at Walmart in the US? ????

Thanks that is my opinion as well.

Slightly off-topic but my (Thai) wife has a Thai driving licence, but it has expred. She insists that because she lives six months a yearin Europe her European driving licence is OK. I have my doubts and worry if she is involved in an accident the insurance won't cover her. I know there are no hard-and-fast rules about ANYTHING regarding these matters but is she correct?

My children tell me the "Bank of Mum and Dad" is the best. 24 hour service - never a refusal.

NOW we'll see some action! Although probably not until rainy season.

Yes they are really difficult to spot. That and burning sugar cane fields. Although they emit a lot of light and smoke they cannot be seen by police detectors which are tuned into a different waveband aka brown envelope concealment. It's an arduous problem.

I've seen better plastic dolls with more innate beauty and personality.

Who she?

Free bird the last Lynrd Skynrd has died - I remeber this bit:

We're all bots here.

Did three days once without sleep at Knebworth '76 (Stones headlining) some chemically induced but the most not. I was young, weather was good and damn, the Stones, man, the Stones!

The solar system will NEVER payback. Mars, Venus, the Moon, Mercury - then the steroid belt and the outer frozen gas giants - will all be money pits and no return will ever be seen. Oh, sorry, wrong Solar System?

I mis-read the title - I thought it meant prostitutes had to do "voluntary service" for twenty years, then were free to go. I'll get my coat.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-64848508 Reminds me of the days when Comical Ali was explaining how Iraq was winning the war as US troops stormed into Baghdad. I wonder what happend to him? Living in the UAE apparently now.

I anm using an AIS pre-paid for quite q few years now and AFAIK I have NEVER enabled roaming on the SIM card. I find I can't make calls outside of Thailand (not that I want to) but receive SMS meessages quite happily and free of charge. This suits me fine. Every month or two I have to go mobiletopup.com and put in some money to keep the SIM card alive but is far preferable from having to get a new SIM card every time I arrive back there - as Bangkok Bank need a "permanent" number or I have to keep updating it.

I don't have a problem.

Every time I visit Thailand (for the last thirty or forty years or more) I spend an hour or two at Bangkok Airport waiting for my onward flight. Occasionally (once or twice a decade) I overnight there. Dirty, smelly, over-crowded, crime-ridden and the traffic is atrocious - unbelievable, at any time day or night. Yeah right, it's the thirtieth best city in the world.

I am still paying 419 baht a month for premium. Luckily I signed up for Netflix in Thailand and pay the Thai price but at the moment I do ninety percent of my viewing outside but please don't tell them ????
