Unfortunately kier and our government are to busy chasing rent boys!Sat, 23 May 2026 13:18:39 +0000I don’t know that particular beach. So can’t say whether there are public showers and toilets that he could have used. If there are and he has maintained his personal hygiene, it suggests to me that he is in not quite the desperate state that has been suggested might be the case. He is able to reason, think logically and work out how to sustain himself, albeit in a weakened state. Which begs the question of why he is unable to work out how to seek help from the various avenues open to him. You say that if you were there you would offer to help, make phone calls etc. I’m sure many would. Which exactly proves the point that I and some others have made. Why hasn’t he sought help. From “official” sources, from commercial sources (banks, hotel, insurance etc or from private individuals such as yourself? So if not incapacitated by mental illness, which his ability to look after his personal hygiene suggests is not the case, why not seek help?Sat, 23 May 2026 13:18:04 +0000You're one to talk about what you can swallow, trollishly infecting war topics with the most inane Kremlin propaganda and the most severe level conspiracy theories. Instead of infecting legit topics, can you just please start your own topic where you post your garbage to your heart's content? Call it what you like. Perhaps Useful Idiots for Putin Central.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:15:21 +0000Do you also change your radiator cap every 3-5 years like the manufacturer says? And yes, I'll take my engineering degree and fifty years of experience over the guys selling tires.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:14:48 +0000Stay on topic Kwildo - we don't want to hear about your sex life or lack there of...Sat, 23 May 2026 13:14:40 +0000That's because he's coked off his face - it is so obvious.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:13:50 +0000There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a good conniption fit, once in awhile, and when warranted. Why, just this afternoon, I had one myself. It happened like this: a. The local power company failed to send me electric power around noon. b. Then 90 minutes later, when the power was "restored", my equipment was still emitting voltage/power alarms. c. So, when the tech guys came to my house, and when they insisted, twice, and without first letting me explain the problem, they insisted that there IS NO problem. d. Well, of course, that was the time for my conniption fit. e. All they told me to do was: Jai YanYan....... (but, how would that fix the root cause of the problem?) f. In our modern technical world, stability and reliability is crucial for a well-functioning society. g. When this fails, then we must resort to a conniption. h. Thankfully, I have not otherwise needed a conniption in many years.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:12:27 +0000Sat, 23 May 2026 13:12:12 +0000Every appearance he looks like he’s dropped a viagra while simultaneously furious, constipated, and five seconds from nutting.....Sat, 23 May 2026 13:11:57 +0000So why was Drummond banned from this forum? Or is that bs too?Sat, 23 May 2026 13:11:40 +0000Inflammatory posts have been removed, you need to stop this baiting and personal attacks or I will step in and there will be warnings and suspensions.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:10:50 +0000Said... ISIS and their so-called caliphate… Al-Qaeda and the September 11 attacks… Boko Haram with kidnappings and mass killings… Al-Shabaab in East Africa… the Taliban… Jemaah Islamiyah behind Bali… Abu Sayyaf… Lashkar-e-Taiba and Mumbai…Sat, 23 May 2026 13:10:10 +0000No, that will never happen. Why would it? I don´t panic, I don´t get distressed and depressed or any other thing. If something happens, sure I can get sad, angry or have any other normal reaction, but I am also always able to see the facts and what I need to do to fix or get past something. According to David Eberhard, that reads less like confidence and more like a Volvo brochure written by a man suppressing a nervous breakdown while peeing himself with excitement every time he has a chance to display his anger on the internet...Sat, 23 May 2026 13:08:02 +0000This what most of us saw outside Rochdale Police Station.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:07:38 +0000OK, so I'm a very old forum member - one of the first way back in 2003. I personally know Andrew from many years ago, and he is an 'old-skool' professional journalist, with many awards to his name. I'd believe what he says over some Pattaya bar fly.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:06:05 +0000Maybe for you. I have a neighbour who smokes weed a couple of times every evening out on his terrace, and the stink comes into my place two doors away.. When he is not there, it seems he rents to pot heads as well. My daughter is often sitting at the table doing homework or studying and asks me to close the doors because of the smell. So we had to close them even during the recent heatwaves. Cigarette smoke is not nice, but is nowhere near as pervasive as weed.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:05:52 +0000And plenty of people smoked for 50 years and never got lung cancer. Personal anecdotes aren’t engineering standards 😂 Nobody said every old tyre explodes. The point is that ageing rubber increases risk — which is exactly why manufacturers and safety bodies publish age guidelines in the first place. But hey, if “nothing bad has happened to me yet” is your maintenance strategy, knock yourself out.😂😂😂Sat, 23 May 2026 13:05:24 +0000Jeez. You asked why the Leeds guy was sentenced quickly and the Muslims are taking a long time. I explained it in as much detail as I could. Apologies if it offended you.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:05:22 +0000A low value post has been removed: Low-Value Posts - Posts that add no written contribution are not allowed.

I don't give a toss what you think you believe what you want. Most memberson here see it the same as me only you will never tow the line you have to argue the point and patronise members thats why there p ed off with you but you cant see it.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:01:26 +0000I'm sure they would - IF he approached the Embassy in the first place... even better if he approached with a Police report - which is why his story of staying five weeks on a beach seems rather questionable. I'd also assume that the Thai Police looked far more sympathetically at a neglected old man, than a young foreigner stuck in a situation he 'could' theoretically take steps to get himself out of. As others have alluded to - perhaps there are other issues going on we are not aware of.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:01:16 +0000Pakana mu khrop... One of my favorite vegetable dishes here. So simple and easy and delicious. Glad you enjoyed it.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:00:49 +0000Unfortunately, both believable and expected from the most corrupt (possibly the most incompetent as well) president in American history.Sat, 23 May 2026 13:00:05 +0000
