Tat.

It was an unprecedented situation and they thought they were dealing with simple hijackings to begin with. I think the USAF response time nowadays would be a damn sight faster. Otherwise you're right. The US lost all the moral high ground it ever had after 9/11. It will never recover which is a huge part of the problem now. Quite apart from the 'maga' mentality.

Sadly it's the one they replace him with which is the real worry. Project 2025 becomes project 2029. Harris/Walz'll have to have a solid record by then.

No.

On Beach Road in front of Mike Mall at lunchtime.

Never mind the chicken - the French fries are nearly always the worst in the world at KFC Thailand. Damp, soggy, badly fried, stood far too long and greasy. Taste fatty and dissolve into yuck in your mouth. It doesn't have to be like that. My gourmet tip: If there's a Burger King or Mc close by get your French fries from there. They're usually OK.

I think they only come up with this kind of mental diarrhoea to get a rise out of us expats. It's immigration having a troll during lunch break.

Beyond ludicrous.

I am old. It's the truth so it doesn't disturb me. But being touted as a c**t would upset me because I'm not (usually). Occasionally I can be an old coot.

A (Thai) friend of mine's father died of colorectal cancer aged 60. Totally unnecessary. When it became symptomatic it was far advanced. All they could do by then was resection his bowel to give him an extra two years. When she gets to 45 I'm gonna make sure my friend gets a colonoscopy. Had two myself. One at 55 (standard, paid by public health insurance) - all clear. Then again at 65 (standard) follow up - this time they removed a small polyp and said come back in three years. Damn sure I will.

Also very calm and collected - excellent response by her.

It's already in operation. Called qualified majority voting. Introduced for just the reasons you state. Two conditions to carry a motion now: 55 % of Member States vote in favour (15 out of 27), the votes in favour are cast by Member States representing at least 65 % of the European Union’s population.

I hope not.

Only if you inject it ...

Indeed. Obviously I didn't think that one through to the end ... 🤣

Oh nonononono!

"Pointing at things with your lips" ??? I've obviously not been here long enough ... there's also a rogue Heinz ketchup bottle amongst my sauces.

And as the article points out Malaysia offers 90 day stays. Malaysia is also a very beautiful and interesting country with all the attractions of Thailand for tourists including the food and temples. Obviously it doesn't appeal to the incel/sex addict/hebephile crowds though.

I cry for both of them. And for you.

I rest my case 🤣

You get triggered by absolutely anything that even hints at humanity or empathy don't you?

PKK always wants the T+C and Overstay Penalties chits from me at least.

I see the language is really abysmal even by Thai standards. Makes me wonder. Applicants always have to provide a government backed pension statement or multiple copies of bank transactions/deposits which is all kept on file by Immigration anyway. So nothing new really even if legit. Just an extra piece of paper. No new tax relevant info on it. How does one "collede money"?

True, but a few use facts to bolster their position. Others have 'alternative facts' and mendacious diatribes. The difference is quite apparent on AN as well.

Fortunately I scrolled to the end to look after a couple of lines of that mental diarrhoea and so saved myself the rest ...
