We are now suitably impressed to believe anything you say. No true elite would EVER disclose the fact. Your carefully worded rebuttal turns out to be just another voice in the night screaming "conspiracy theory". What are your sources for news, O mighty one?Thu, 21 May 2026 07:21:31 +0000since when are Indian restaurants, as a rule, unprofitable?Thu, 21 May 2026 07:20:57 +0000Lunch, chilli and rice,Thu, 21 May 2026 07:19:42 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:19:29 +0000Different Governments in different countries, and of different political persuasion, raise taxes to differing degrees and use different measures to do so. 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.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:18:36 +0000Stand up honest guy says it as it is. It's not so much he can't afford to go back, it's the life he would be living compared to what he has in PI, and it would be pretty grim.

One big question is: Will the South Africans actually want to move to the US? Most Afrikaners have been settled for generations. Are they being discriminated against in housing, the job markets, aso? Poverty? Really glad there’s no racism in the USA, eh! Everybody wants to move to the US because of its diverse, immigrant culture. /s Gotta be Leon behind this sucker move…Thu, 21 May 2026 07:17:32 +0000Or, perhaps, he was just plain stupid but, I suppose, that stupidity could be an inherited trait also.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:16:04 +0000Thank you , I will persist.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:14:47 +0000Swedish? Akdemir sounds Turkish.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:14:40 +0000Very avoidable, indeed, but tragic?... I don't think so. Self-imposed damage does not constitute a tragedy..Thu, 21 May 2026 07:14:30 +0000Just tried. First time beeped once and cut off. Second time engaged tone. Third time went through and connected.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:10:05 +0000I hope someone competent followed the elephants' trail to be able to treat any injuries. Humans are the invaders.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:06:59 +0000Not sure, but at present is 89 on 60mg statin and 10mg ezetimibe. Heart is doing ok, my lipoprotein(a) is 89, my calcium score 1300+Thu, 21 May 2026 07:06:20 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:05:17 +0000I think a bar manager and Flowers wife (the owner) were convicted, sounds like the manager decided to employ an underage girlThu, 21 May 2026 07:03:56 +0000I think it's only fair to remind any Jan6 insurrectionists active on AN that they can apply for compensation if their flagpoles, baseball bats, cattle prods or other essential equipment used during the peaceful walkabout in the Capitol was damaged.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:03:47 +0000BOTH he and Biden stayed past their expiration dates. Age limits should be placed on the office, as well as INDEPENDENT cognitive test doctors. Poor decisions are having world wide implications, none of them good lately.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:03:40 +0000Been through all that , does 1572 connect if you ring it ?Thu, 21 May 2026 07:03:32 +0000So if 60 day tourists aren't spendy enough for the powers that be, what do they think of EXPATS? You know people that have the nerve to do things like cook their owns meals, etc. The nerve of them! Do they have work permits to buy groceries and brew their own coffee!Thu, 21 May 2026 07:02:16 +0000But nothing. I was NEVER - and am NOT - a supporter of the call for a 'Peoples Vote'. Which bit of, "As I have explained time and time again, I think that the Brexit decision should stand for a generation (+/-18 years)", don't you understand? Alex Salmond coined the phrase, 'once in a generation' in relation to the Scottish independence referendum, and I thought it equally applicable to the Brexit referendum.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:02:10 +0000Gov min on my EV works for any driver, licensed or not.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:01:44 +0000Come on... You held back your usual bias.... Don't you mean "the drug impaired, drunk, unlicensed, criminal record holding, overstaying scum farang, continued to place countless innocent Thai lives at risk"....Thu, 21 May 2026 07:00:50 +0000You don't understand, which isn't surprising coming from you. I was already in Pattaya 10 years ago. Your clichés and sweeping judgments about the older residents of this wonderful city are, at best, jealousy or envy. Regarding romantic activity, you shouldn't generalize based on your own experience. Surely the candle doesn't stand proudly in front of your old lady partner, but with beautiful Noy of Buriram it's a completely different story.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:59:50 +0000If I remember correctly he was convicted for some illegal stuff awhile back with that other clown N/C. I believe Drum is black listed as well.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:58:09 +0000
