Wait wasn’t this the guy the lefties were holding up as their “good guy”. Their one straw left to grasp? The last beacon of hope. Now it turns out he’s a violent stalker beating up the elderly haha seems another lefty narrative isn’t ending too well. Hilarious, man 😁

TV repair

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:31:51 +0000

The Samsung service centre came out to mine. Took it away and was eventually quoted 10 000 Baht for a repair. Not worth fixing these days. I don't know how old your TV is but doubt it would be worth fixing unless you can get it done on the cheap.

The report sounds off. If an event has the correct permissions then the police will simply see the permission and be on their way. Noise rules in Thailand are very soft and difficult to enforce. If the event has gone beyond its permission or has none, in a residential area and at unsociable hours by Thai standards, then that's different. On the flip side, why are grumpy falangs moaning about special events? Weddings and other ceremonies/celebrations are normal. Thailand is a relatively noisy country, people like to enjoy themselves. Put up or %155 off!

Funding Dispute Delays Thailand Airports Rail Project

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:29:38 +0000

If you drive out of Bangkok city centre and north along Vibhavadi Rangsit Road toward DMK, on the left you'll see the remnants of the last airport connector project, complete with half finished concrete stations and concrete pylons with some track. The 3 billion dollar Hopewell project (European company) ran into disagreements, scandals and lawsuits with the partners and Thai government, and was scrapped in 1998. The new airport connector project has no main foreign contractors (they - the foreign companies - have learned their lessons about Thailand). The main financiers appear to be the Government and CP Group. China Railway is in it for less than 5%. Yet, still, there are disagreements among the Thai partners.

On this matter Hegseth is right. Where he is wrong is asking when will european capitals do anything about this invasion. It is by design, Pete. All those veterans of WW2 have seen the better part after the war. Luckily they are nearly all dead to not have see the upcoming worst part.

How to attract enemies, diminish influence, ruin prestige, and alienate allies. That should be the new Trump motto. On a daily basis this man demonstrates additional levels of goonery, clown like behavior, and utter absurdness. What an incredibly sad and pathetic example of the human species he is. Americans should be recoiling in horror at this demonstration of self aggrandizement, certainly the world is looking on with astonishment at the shame he is bringing upon a nation that used to be fairly great, but has descended into a land of chaos, mass murders, political division, shootings, criminality, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, silly levels of real inflation, and diminished influence. The honor and the pride is completely gone, right out the window. Trump is trashing everything America used to stand for. This sums him up perfectly: Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response: "A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of bull. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W. look smart and articulate. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created? Unappealing, unattractive, idiotic, incompetent, hateful, hurtful, abrasive, rude, blowhard, liar, cheater, thief, infantile, failure, loser, fraud, sexual abuser, incestuous, tax cheat, insurrectionist, un-American, dictator-loving dictator wannabe, out of control, sociopathic, convicted felon, toxic narcissist & brutish A-hole. I think that one of the aspects that kind of solves the riddle of Trump, is his toxic mind and consciousness. I truly believe that within that inner cauldron that some would refer to as his mind exists a state of bitterness, hatred, disillusionment, racism, utter nastiness, the pathological desire for revenge against any orecrovrd slight, an incredible lack of fulfillment, loneliness and true despair. Of course much of that is masked by his bluster and his bragadachio, but we all know where that comes from. Everything about the con-man referred to as Trump is unlikeable. He's everything wrong with the human animal, all stuffed into one specimen.
