Wonder if 'ed flashed 'is wad somewhere else first.

I was referring to the felon himself not his guards. You guaranteed someone wouldn't say something to his face. I certainly would. As far as physical attack goes the felon is definitely not a fighter. He's a coward who relies on those he bullies and humiliates and harasses or buys into silence. Right now he's humiliating 70m people - quite an achievement. I am not a blusterer. As for your question, I've proven myself many times against the odds, I don't have to here. You should stick to medical stuff. It seems you're good at that.

I understand the school is non-religious. Great! But it would encourage a lot of learning and understanding if it were to at least acknowledge and carry out some of the rituals of various religious festivals. Kids love choccy Easter eggs or Christmas pudding. Water pistol fights on sports day for Songkhran? I guess noone would enjoy a school day without food during Ramadan, but they could celebrate Eid al-Fitr with a huge oriental food party ... the possibilities are limitless. Unless you've got a boxed in mind and shouldn't be taking these decisions. Just to make it clear: I have no time for any of these superstitions for all the usual reasons. But they are part of human history and culture and can be woven into history, geography and literature lessons. So too actually living some of the rituals as part of community projects.

Lol ... I always get those 2 mixed up, bit like Samut Sakhon and Samut Prakhan. I meant Ranong of course

Exactly. A superb solution for all. I know being the head is a tough job. I know that 'cos they had to deal with me once, and my parting words at age 15 would get me modded out. But how did this person get to be in charge of a school with such hopeless ethical and decision making skills?

Just pray for the bastards.

Exactly. An extension of the rail lines from the north and north east (the green and yellow routes above) to Ranong makes sense in view of the overall rail system upgrades. Loading/unloading of ships in Ranong for rail to/from Bangkok/Beijing makes sense. But offloading onto rail in Chumpon then onloading again in Rayong (or vice versa) is logistical lunacy. A canal would make far more sense in that respect. It would shorten the journey time considerably. Both options will probably devastate a huge area of the isthmus irreparably.

Well they're certainly risky places to be behaving like a maniac as this guy apparently was, whatever the cause.

Why not? Trump is a rank coward. All bullies are cowards at heart. He has shown this again and again. Fight fight fight my backside.

What a surprise. Not.

How long did it hold?

Their other posts show they're just as miserable back there as well.

It's only to be expected however many days allowed. It has far more to do with enforcement and potentially corruption. Malaysia lets you in with 90 days and a smile. But you'd have to be well versed to try and pull that kind of poo there. I spent my entire life from childhood through to advanced middle age gaming every system I could. It's quite natural for some. In fact I gamed a system very effectively this winter back home ... lots of virtually free money - feelin' quite chuffed about it as well. Nice to know the old dog ain't dead yet.

People like you and me do that in our sleep. The usual punter that normally 'holidays' in Torremolinos though doesn't really know where to start when it comes to that kind of thing. Just look at some of the questions that get asked on AN.

It also needs to come to terms that it is in the same category. The chances of reform or Tories coming to power in a few years are huge. Their principles and priorities are diagonally opposed to the EU's and they luuurve the Trump.

'They need us more than we need them'. Yet again. I'm stunned anyone's still daring to come out with this long ago discredited bilge. Even after 9 years no one seems to grasp it. Same old same old. And the decline continues 'apace' as the pols say nowadays. I guess it's just really hard to face the fact that the UK no longer belongs to the family now it's a common or garden third country. The country now also facing a serious essential medicines shortage caused by a 20% drop in EU imports since before the referendumb. The UK at the bottom of the G7 list for medical imports. Similar picture for exports. Key factor? (Nuffield Trust): Brexit. And AN's political scientologists now blaming Starmer and 'Labour'. And seriously think that mental pygmies and second rate bog wallahs like Farage, Badenoch and Yaxley-Lennon are the answer. Hint: They are all symptoms of something else that has yet to be addressed properly. Sad sad sad what has happened to the country I grew up in. The only place I've ever travelled to (the Midlands a few months ago) where they think they are 'world leading', but have business class lounges without even a sodding toilet to use. (And I mean without one, not under repair, broken whatever - simply no toilets.) The '3 Star' hotel charging 4 star prices that doesn't even offer a sodding dressing gown and slippers, never mind a phone, much less room service. Don't get me started on the waterways - they make the Chao Praya look like spa water. It will gradually sink in I hope that nobody needs the UK. It should have been clear by now to anyone with an ounce of nous. And until it has sunk in there cannot be any change in direction. By then though I suspect it will probably be too late to reverse the decline. There's certainly no evidence of anyone in public life right now with the necessary vision, wisdom or acumen to pull that off. And there's no sign amongst the population at large - and I listened to quite a few tales and whinges - that there is anyone even interested in genuine change. Sad. Really sad. You have exactly the leaders you all deserve. Mind you, the 'King's golden carriages are sooo impressive. Totally pretty. And all those horses! More than the entire US Army owns! One of the few 'public services' that didn't see any cuts at all. Whaddaya know. Just a shame the nurses and firefighters cheering him on had to race home after the big parade before the food banks closed. Back to baked beans on toast like in the 70s. Decline? - Delicious!

They'll even agree to that for the right price ... 😏

That's a sexy kick ...

Or a proctologist ;D

555 ... You've obviously never had a good dentist ...

That's why prisoners are often hooded and torturers wear masks.

That is clearly a downright lie. Several countries offered to take them. Who are we to believe eh?

Probably consisting of a packet of chips and a coke.

This guy shouldn't be allowed out on his own.

That was Encore's number not mine ... just sayin'
