  1. The behaviour gets even more creepy. I am sure she gave you full consent to post this in a forum full of old perverts?
  2. Even for future proofing it does seem incredibly unnecessary.
  3. Yeah, I had noticed planes flying over the city the last few days which was pretty cool. As @Upnotover said the answer is wind as they always want to land (and take off) into prevaling winds as it means they are landing with a lower ground speed whilst still maintaining the right ground speed. They get more lift at slower (ground) speeds which makes it much safer, the brakes have less work to do etc. Suvarnabhumi changes direction regularly as the winds there change fairly frequently.
  4. You mean just as use of the term "immigrant" has become institutionalised by Yaxley-Lennon, Farage et al to be a blanket, negatively biased way to dehumanise a whole group of disparate people.
  5. HA ! HA ! You have no idea how it works do you? The ONS in not contracted to do a survey. It doesn't get given, or isn't paid for surveys on a case by case basis. It has a statutory mandate to produce certain kinds of statistics regularly, under the law that established its remit. And it is 100% independent and is overseen by the UK Statistics Authority, a non-ministerial government department - which means it does not report to, or answer to, political parties or ministers. Its independence is built in to its very fabric. So I am glad you found something funny but you have only exposed your own ignorance. Edit: oh I see @candide got there before me and even used the same words!
  6. ...or one that uses their wife to buy a £885k house in their constituency (so they can pretend to be interested in what happens in Clacton) to avoid £44k in stamp duty that would be due on it as a second home. Even though he bragged about buying himself a house in Clacton when someone accused him of having no commitment to his constituency - whoops. Oh, and even worse when he had publicly attacked Angela Rayner for similar stamp duty issues. Oh, wait.....
  7. Unlikely. Any arrivals tax would be built in to the price of your air ticket.
  8. No, he's not joking, in his twisted MAGA-washed brain he actually believes that democrats hate families. And to think he's allowed to vote....
  9. Some thought it was only a rumour, a myth, a legend! And for years it has remained elusive, never being seen by humans. Until now. Until today. Years of research, of delicate tracking......but always losing the scent. And then, out of the blue, when least expected, it broke cover and revealed itself in public; unashamed, fearless, and with reckless abandon. Yes, right in the open, I saw the only Nissan Leaf that has ever been sold in Thailand (probably).
  10. Come on, that poster was indefensible. A line of Syrian and Afghan refugees being escorted to a Slovenian refugee camp has nothing to do with migration to Britain, and absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we leave the EU. It was done deliberately to whip up xenophobic fear and was pretty vile, even for Farage. Oh, and there's one prominent white person in the photo but they made sure to cover him up. Even a former UKIP MP denounced it saying it was "morally indefensible".
  11. Yes, plus it is almost certainly a precursor towards automated e-gates on entry in future.
  12. 84 pages of an aging creep regaling people with his fantasies, and the sad saps on here lapping it up. Going in for unwanted hugs and bragging about how he wears them down. Ugh. Borderline harassment. Definitely old man creepy at the very least. Poor girls.
  13. Are you that racist / xenophobic / bigoted that you genuinely believe foreigners can't obey the law??? Oh yeah, sorry, this is riclag I'm replying to....what a fantasy world you live in. Genuinely worrying.
  14. You forgot "All democrats hate families", because apparently that's also a thing.
  15. Nice story here, someone doing a little bit to help people. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3146240/ev-owner-offers-free-phone-charging-to-stranded-flood-victims Edit: that was supposed to be a general reply to the thread, not a reply specifically to you @carlyai, sorry, not sure how that happened.
  16. Last time I looked the economy hadn't been wrecked. The only thing I agree with you on is Leavitt is a better public speaker and is hotter. But she is just a lying, sycophantic mouthpiece, nothing more nothing less.
  17. Right, so you're judging them on looks - says it all. Rachel Reeves studied politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford. She then got a Masters Degree in Economics from the London School of Economics. Rose through the ranks - on merit - and is the UK's first ever female CoE. For someone who says they like "strong independent women" then there's one for you. Her parents were primary school teachers. Leavett got a softball scholarship at St Anselm College. Whoop. She was appointed to her position because she is highly sycophantic, gushes praise for her master, lies on his behalf, will say and do anything to please him - without embarrassment or shame. But she is blonde and pretty. You demean Reeves and her achievements but praise Leavett. It really says everything we need to know about you. Misogynistic in the extreme unless they are extremely right wing, blond and pretty.
  18. The ONS is an independent body, it is not government controlled, has no ministerial influence. It is a completely independent entity, and overseen by the UK Statistics Authority - another completely independent body.
  19. A three year old's reply again, excellent. Such well educated, intelligent and reasoned debate coming from the MAGAs as always.
  20. "Lefists" hate families. Where the heck do you guys get this stuff? You all come out with comments that a three year old might say.
  21. Let's put massive tariffs on everything because then the Thai consumer wins. Simple, right? All those source countries paying tariffs to Thailand - Thailand could probably give all its citizens $2,000 thanks to the tariffs other countries will be paying. I am pretty sure that's how simple it is - some guy in America told me. Right?
  22. Ok, apologies, when you said you saw it on social media in Cambodia I assumed it was a Cambodian social media feed. However somebody deliberately photoshopped the dates, Thai or Cambodian. Not sure what anyone has to gain from doing that really. Edit: Actually, it was posted by a Cambodian who has a history of posting fabricated stuff about Thailand. Whether he faked it himself or saw it elsewhere and reposted it I don't know........but a Cambodian source seems likely to be honest.
