This story is as old as humanity itself. (And so, not typically Thai!) From Adam and Eve to the medieval alchemists who promised to turn lead into gold to the gigantic Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff, the promise of a free lunch is forever beguiling..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madoff_investment_scandal

Mridul Wadhwa: What sort of name is this? Would the answer to this question also explain why the Rape Centre (admittedly in Scotland, the home of stupendously mad gender and "hate" speech laws) is in such a mess?

And a few regulars like myself get ready to puke when we read these effusions of the minor private school mind.....

Bangers? Is your name Biggles by any chance?

Labour showing, once more, its true anti-semitic colours. What utter tosh to pretend that they have concern for the safety of Jewish students....

My wife drew my attention to the Thai version of this "story." In that story she was shown reading from her iPad while the President of Iran was sitting to her left and waiting patiently for.... whatever. I confess I know next to nothing about Thailand's relations with Iran, but I'd certainly like to know what she actually said to the man ultimately responsible for the terrorism committed all over the Middle East. Have a nice day, sir? We love your oil?

Worrying about politicians telling lies is a waste of energy on everyone's part (including on this thread). What is important (especially in debates) is which candidate gives the appearance of great intelligence and who could be trusted to perform bravely and intelligently in a crisis. Only Vance in my opinion shows the strength and honesty of character to stand for the highest office. The rest are dross....

I thought it was Monica who did Bill?

didn't say I know, only that I assume. Sorry if it's confusing....

I am proud to say that I have never actually heard this woman sing, but I can only assume, from the outfits she wears and the romantic company she keeps, that her songs are at an appropriate level of competence and taste.....

I am sure that citizens of many countries, reading this, can only lament that they do not have a leader of the same intellect, determination and sheer common sense as Giorgia.

Same applies to BLUESPUNK... Not been seen/heard since March 2023.. He was even more prolific than Chomper.

Yes, you're right. She's not a threat because of any particular policy (she has none), but because she is a really nasty human being. I recall her vicious attack on Judge Kavanaugh when she was in the Senate - that was the crucial moment when one could see how empty, but how dangerous, this mendacious woman was. Most politicians are mendacious, but even the most menial (someone like Nadler or Schiff etc) have SOME redeeming quality, somewhere. Not so Mrs Harris.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnn. Politics these days tends to come down to these kindergarden quarrels. Much ado about nothing.

ha ha....the Grauniad....Britain's nearest equivalent to Pravda!

Correct spelling is Houellebecq (just in case someone wants to buy or borrow Submission -- novel in which France has a Muslim government).

Try this Seattle station: https://classicalking.org/ Good selection of classical music.

Yup, this thread is monumentally (staggeringly even ) boring. So, I will bow out ungraciously.....

It's equally boring to see that you are trawling your own posts to see who has been trawling you!!!!

Because it is the LOONY left.

Much ado about nothing.. He is an Arsenal supporter. I too would strive to be Prime Minister if it meant getting free tickets at the Emirates.

Strange how all over American Pravda, it is taken for granted that if anyone is going to question the election results, it will be the GOP. But the Dems never accepted the Clinton defeat and insisted falsely that the Russians (again and again) were about to take over; in the four years since Trump has been out of office he has been subjected to the full weight of lawfare that the Dem regime could throw at him. Plus, with all the insistence of Nazi propaganda, they call Trump a "threat to democracy" and are not surprised when someone believes the lie and tries to assassinate this threat. Who actually believes that the Dems will quietly accept a Trump victory and will refrain from doing everything in their power to remove the "threat to democracy.."??

Have you had your eyesight and hearing checked lately?

Private Eye ran countless hints at Fayed's unsavoury character over the years. They always mocked his anger at the British who blocked his greatest desire in life: to be knighted by the Queen. The nearest he got to the royal family was via his son, who was one of the last people to see Princess Di alive...

There's something fanatical about this clumsy photo-shopping. Suggests to me a severe case of derangement.
