  1. Nail, hammer, head, are the words that come to my mind. Lawrence O'Donnel's 'The Last Word' on You Tube is similarly if more acerbically dead on target.
  2. And that's before they tell you about their exploits in The Regiment 😄
  3. The whole country and system desperately ripe for genuine root and branch reform but the people still with a 19th century mindset and bellies still too full of junk food.
  4. It stretches credibility like a well chewed piece of bubble gum ....
  5. Strikes me that 'prayers' aren't much use when this 'god' entity allows that kind of thing to happen in his club houses.
  6. Doubt it. 77m of them recently said they want it even madder and badder ...
  7. Of course not: 'Labour' won a 146 seat majority on barely 34% of the national vote.
  8. Wouldn't the entire RTP have to be locked up then 😄 ...?
  9. They do tweak the Covid shots.
  10. Nothing good happens after midnight anywhere in the world. In Pattaya after 10pm. After dark on Beach Road. 🤣
  11. They think when they become millionaires it'll save them taxes.
  12. I follow what you say. I had a miserable, cowardly, violent father. Got myself out aged 15 to find the paternal structures I needed in the army - a somewhat more legitimate gang ...
  13. I always do my financial transactions in multi-storey car parks. Where else would you do them?
  14. By the way you forgot to include the option 'None of these things'.
  15. What I find notable about this whole ballyhoo is that the Thai army simply decides to close a border with all that that entails diplomatically, economically and socially. Just like that. Surely that's a government decision.
  16. What's he sitting on his desk for? Must make working much harder.
  17. Certainly the 'police' missed a chance of aiding someone who has a markedly high chance of getting murdered by some predator before she's 30.
  18. Lying low? ... Thailand is famed for crime on the lam ...
  19. Actually the less you own the freer you are - things aren't called the 'trappings' of life for nothing. Honestly, there will never be a cashless society except in science fiction writers' or conspiracy theorists' minds
  20. What happened to the customer they were fighting over? Guess he lost interest PDQ.
  21. Can hardly wait. Does Star Alliance operate to Pyongyang? Don't those three Kims at the water slides look like a whole bunch of fun? Awful. Picture says it all.
  22. Your fears are unfounded. There will never be a cashless society. Have you seen what happens when payment systems collapse on an average afternoon? It's chaos and loss all round. I have witnessed it and the outage lasted for days. In a hi-tech country. Cash solved the issue - there will always be cash. I managed to pay cash for my supermarket purchases. Dozens of others had to start unloading their trolleys or leaving them at the check out. People are still hoarding old local currencies decades after the introduction of the cash euro. They'll (we'll) always have some euros on hand and the old currencies are still valid valuta. It's also in no government's interest to ban cash - even if they'd like to do it for obvious reasons.
