Even the retard I pop in here regularly to B-slap around for laughs and the amusement of other retirees, I don&#x2019;t think is really a bad person.   I ridiculed him for threatening people here and then he stopped.   I made fun of them for two days about humping everybody&#x2019;s leg demanding know what their hobbbbies are and I noticed he&#x2019;s really steeply fallen off from that one too.   Don&#x2019;t feel like you need to thank me, it was my pleasure.  It&#x2019;s just banter. I could give 2 sh .  But specific to this thread, I definitely think a guy who lives near Soi Bukhao and claims it is to be close to cheap noodle stands is definitely taking the P.

It is a similar story for government expenditure (subsidies).  I don't know why the UK government  seemingly chooses to subsidise fuel increases less than the Thai government.   I also don't know what that has to do with this topic, which is about the Labour Party's leadership contenders' stance on Brexit.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 07:18:36 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
