  1. that's why I wrote "played out in Thailand". Sorry if it's confusing.
  2. Ignorance of how her country "works", how it always seems to work only in favour of the rich and powerful. My wife has a clear insight into this and sees Thanathon as a possible way out of the nightmare of history as it is played out in Thailand....
  3. Those who know nothing about history are doomed to repeat it......
  4. Appalling, absolutely appalling. This thread should stop at these video clips.
  5. Just tell us which city...why the secrecy?????/
  6. Thing that always puzzles me on Asean is why so many people here are reluctant to indicate where they come from and instead refer to "my country" or some such locution. Whereas, if you met someone in a bar they would tell you before your second sip where they come from.... Anybody know why this weird kind of "privacy" exists?
  7. Ah, but it's not the King James version....
  8. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke....he and his missis deserve each other. Good job he doesn't live in Manhattan.....
  9. Amusing to see that the great Brain GPT was unable to spell "vassal". I guess whoever fed the software with the idea that Cambodia is a vassal of the Chinese Communist Party (and why single out only Cambodia for that honour? why not include the USA?) was him or herself unable to spell the word "vassal". There is hope for us all yet....
  10. Must take a lot of Sidegra to keep the boner stiff while bonking some fat hag while her hubby gets off on the performance.
  11. No, they're not top of the heap, cos that position is occupied by the abominable wokists, virtue signallers and soviet-style ideologues who don't know what the word "woman" means and who will "cancel" you at the drop of a wrong pronoun. In the Soviet Union they used to cancel politicians by simply air-brushing them from photos! Today it is enough if you express an opinion that is contrary to the prevailing narrative. Welcome to Stalinka....
  12. Imagine: somewhere in Nakhon Nowhere a policeman is told to visit a local farm where burning is taking place. Go to Farmer Somchai's sugar cane field is the order. Policeman nods and then wonders whether that would be a wise decision. Farmer Somchai's wife's brother has an uncle who is a good friend of the police chief. Leave it till next week.....
  13. "his field"???? Would that be the chief's field (as your sentence says)??

    Snakes in garden

    Or as Basil Fawlty said when someone suggested that he "ask the waiter [Manuel]": "Might as well ask the cat...."
  15. That's the one! A poundstore intellectual, alas.
  16. I believe the Phukhet authorities will be appointing a falang experienced in the issuance of red and yellow cards to be the regulator of this system, at quite a substantial remuneration. My sources have informed me that there is a short-list of 3, whose names apparently are: Mr H. Webb Mr M Dean and Mr M Clattenburg.
  17. Good name for a new beer ....."Who You Know".
  18. Macha Bucha was an English guy who never left the Malayan jungle in 1945 after helping the war effort by driving out the Japanese so that the rightful owners could take over again. He had been a butcher in civilian life in Great Britain before the war, and now, once he had crossed the border into Thailand (before the days of visas), he set up a butcher's shop in Hat Yai and called himself a Master Butcher. The rest is history....
  19. This is of course all hogwash. London's only claim to fame is the fact that Arsenal F.C. resides there (for the time being). Paris's only claim is to excellent wine at (relatively) cheap prices. New York's only claim is that one can be granted bail seconds after one has committed a crime.
  20. Doesn't leave an awful lot in the enjoyable city department, does it?
  21. Hua Hin, coming into air-quality problems: https://www.iqair.com/thailand/prachuap-khiri-khan/hua-hin
  22. Molly Bloom recalls confessing to the priest how in her teenage years she committed sins with Leopold ( as in sex before marriage). Priest: And where did he touch you, my child? Molly: On the canal bank, Father.
  23. I was conducting Beethoven's 5th at the age of 13 , with my mother's knitting needle as my baton, so please don't patronise me like that. Clearly you don't read the concert programmes for the year ahead in some city orchestras around North America. If you did, instead of relying on YouTube, you would then see what I mean by "dumbing down."
