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'

Unless she signs you up for free lessons in the Pattaya Flying Club ...

The following post as well 555

You mention Vance and freedom of speech in one sentence? Vance, Zuckerberg et al. mean their freedom to say what they want and destroy and insult those they don't like. Other views and especially other effective views do not fit into their category of free speech and are being quashed. They hate genuine free speech. They do not in any way subscribe to it unless it agrees with them, benefits them and generates profit. Consequently they have no idea of the real bounds of free speech either or what actually even constitutes free speech, much less its actual purpose. Watching the economically illiterate blond bimbo lecturing people with twice her IQ about how judges aren't allowed to reign in presidents was a perfect example of the sheer ignorance and Putinism that now blankets the US. But yes, it's what you voted for. Enjoy. Why don't they all just move to Russia or Belarus? They'd fit into the political landscape there perfectly. Home from home now.

Sadly, the Rotten.com site fell into disrepair decades ago but it was fun while it lasted. It was mostly stills back then, of people with dreadful wounds or mangled corpses, unpleasant medical afflictions and some who'd had terrible accidents. I remember one had the heading 'Whoopsie at the train station' - the top half of some unfortunate's head was still above the platform in front of the train, at the end of a long stretch of blood where it had just been dragged along. The rest of the body was below the platform. Somewhere. Somehow. My favorite MTV series wasn't Jackass, which I found rather tame and only occasionally gruesome and funny. The best was MTV Scarred, where mountain bikers, skateboarders and all kinds of precarious sportspeople were being filmed when they had really bad, bad, excruciating accidents. After the footage they showed their stunted limbs and heads with multiple screws and rods and whatnot and their X-rays. That show was a real cringer. A few years ago a Zoom meeting at work was bombed by some weirdo or other. Before I could tell the host how to dump it the screen filled with various images of women apparently having sex with dogs and people having their heads blown off in shotgun executions. All in a repetitive loop and with a Jihadi sound track. It really traumatized some colleagues. I loved Rotten.com and MTV Scarred, but that Zoom bomber leaves me with no desire to see this 'death' channel from the OP.

Poor/er quarter. Shanty town. With added descriptors and qualifications as/if needed. Slum is a loaded negative word that denies the inhabitants' dignity.

My how things change 555 Back in an earlier life we calculated: 75Kgs M + 3Kgs Handbaggage (Yes 3, and it was enforced.) 63Kgs F +3Kgs Handluggage - women and girls usually were allowed a handbag as well. 43Kgs C +3Kgs 10Kgs Infant up to 2 years of age (officially no hand luggage but obviously kiddy needs accepted)

That really is 'between a rock and a hard place' in every sense of the proverb.

As someone directly involved in the accident you are unable to determine fault. This is why insurance companies say NEVER admit liability. That's for police/courts/insurance to sort. You are factually incapable of determining that and more than likely under shock, even in minor accidents.

No, they just think seatbelts are an unnecessary nuisance that should be silenced. Even now after years I still have problems getting Thai friends to belt up.

What many don't realize is that seatbelts' second most important task is to keep a car's occupants INSIDE the car in a smash up. Survival rates of those ejected in a crash are essentially zero. It's why it pays to wear a belt especially in a bus as well - those windows are big enough to get thrown through when broken, even if structural damage and speed is not too excessive such as during a rollover or side-on impact. The idea that you can stop yourself from hitting the dashboard with your arms is like saying you can jump out of a third story building and land safely on your hands. You can't. Disabling safety devices and alarms is about as stupid as humans get.

Those who did were frequently crippled and became a burden for their nearest and dearest as well as society for the rest of their usually shortened lives.

Yeah, they're all on the menu instead ...

NO! Really?!

That is precisely what we're all here to learn and this tax fiasco is just another lesson in the course book. Keep smiling 555

Do they not even read AN? Do they exist in a news free world? What is wrong with these people? They just walk straight into the net, one bunch after another, one day after another. Weird. It's obviously coordinated and I bet the back room boys'll soon be served up with this many leads to follow. These dudes can be grateful they got caught before Singapore. Jesus. They must be real thick.

Including the grass smugglers of Koh Samui .... what is wrong with these people? They just walk straight into the net, one bunch after another, one day after another. Weird.

Abused either way. Sickening. And heart breaking.

At least the Swiss violence has some sort of creativity about it. The Brits're usually just drunken yobs (of all ages) scrapping on Walking Street or getting their heads kicked in by the bouncers. No real class or originality at all.
