Whenever you meet an expat in the wild, we need to reappropriate it as a term of endearment and solidarity.

Your shift has started then. 555555. The story about the US diplomat is false for one reason alone. It is not a story to say a diplomat went into a bar in Bangkok. Drummond has not wiped anything. He has simply not been banned from every Thai forum - apart from this one which he wrote about.

I remember stories from friends years ago who were in the USAF stationed at U-Tapao. The medics would treat "bull-head clap" with an umbrella catheter that would open after being inserted and ream out your urethra. They said the agony was beyond words and the medics would do it with alacrity.

They don't have to be called out by name if the public realizes that the service they're offering is toxic.  Using a very imperfect analogy, I don't know the names of any Nigerian princes.  But you won't find me sending ANY of them my account information so they can make a deposit.  Anyone reading in here (or on the Interwebs) seeing that nominee businesses are being taken down would be foolish to hire any attorney to form an illegal entity.</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 01:30:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>US launches new strikes on southern Iran</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395391-us-launches-new-strikes-on-southern-iran/?do=findComment&comment=20523285]]></link><description>I am so tired of Trump's rhetoric.

You have a point. I never checked they were virgins. I was not offered.  Neither did the investor who refused the offer. Maybe the boss who offered them was lying.
