Though they can sometimes be very funny, low class brits are the WORST low class people in the world - by far. ALWAYS causing trouble wherever they go. Smash, bang wallop - "iss onLy da lAds aVin a LarF inNit" Extremely tiresome and often dangerous to be around. Look at the football - the world welcomes the jocks, paddys and even sheep ****gers but get the plastic glasses out and the shutters up when pikey English types rock up. I get the OP's shame at being associated with them but, if it's that much of a problem, just leave pattaya - those types are attracted to pattaya and benidorm like flies toThu, 25 Jun 2026 09:55:51 +0000I agree. Voter ID should be passed. But failing to sign this bill will not mean anything, because if unsigned after ten days it passes anyway, unless Trump vetoes and there are enough votes to override his veto. He'll get nothing out of this other than go back to has voters and say, "I tried to pass Voter ID but couldn't." He really doesn't care about either bill. Just what gives him the appearance of doing something.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:55:40 +0000These Republican senators no balls !! i hope the voters are taking notes on these spinless morons !Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:54:15 +0000Sorry to write you this.

Half The Whitehouse has been bulldozed and a gurt big hole is where the East Wing once stood. The pool at the back is a scene of toxic devastation, hidden behind temporary fencing and tarpaulins. 250 years celebrations start in a week! Way to go Donald, way to go!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:53:28 +0000"It hasn't turned into a banana republic under Trump." Let me fix that sentence for you: The US has turned into a banana republic under Trump. Washington is Pyongyang on the Potomac.

He assured me he was intelligent and knew exactly what he was doing. A few days ago he told me why i haven't seen him out and about lately. Seems he suddenly got very serious myocarditis systems , with no previous heart issues at all .

Police said the teenager had been forced into activities for the sexual gratification of others and compelled to produce explicit material for a foreign individual, resulting in serious physical and psychological harm. Get today's headlines by email The case came to light after the Kan Jom Palang Foundation received a request for assistance from the 17-year-old victim. The foundation subsequently coordinated with the Metropolitan Police Bureau, prompting an investigation by officers from the Children, Women and Family Protection Division. The operation was launched under orders from Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom and Deputy Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Pallop Aremla. Investigators from the division, working alongside officers from Nong Khaem Police Station, gathered evidence and conducted enquiries into the allegations. Based on the evidence collected, investigators obtained arrest warrants from Taling Chan Criminal Court on 23 June 2026 at 9.20pm. All three suspects were arrested later that night at 11.30pm. The suspects were identified as Thai nationals, Thanamas, 28, Witthawat, 36, and an unnamed German national. The first two suspects were charged with jointly procuring a child aged over 15 but under 18 for the sexual gratification of others without consent, committing offences against a descendant under their care, possessing child sexual abuse material for sexual exploitation, and human trafficking involving a person aged between 15 and 18. The German suspect was charged with supporting the procurement or inducement of a person for prostitution, regardless of whether the person consented. According to police, the case began when Kanthas Phongsphaiboonwet, widely known as Kan Jom Palang, coordinated with authorities to remove the victim from a residence in Bangkok’s Nong Khaem district. The teenager reportedly contacted the foundation herself and expressed concern that three younger children living in the same household, aged nine, six and three, could eventually be forced into similar exploitation. Following the arrests, officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security took the 17-year-old victim and the three younger children into protective care. They have been placed in a child welfare facility in Bangkok where they will receive accommodation, support and rehabilitation services. Khaosod reported that Pol Col Suphachai Chaisuwan said investigators would continue expanding the inquiry to identify and prosecute all individuals involved in purchasing sexual services and any related trafficking networks.

Howling in absolute derision!Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:44:34 +0000Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:44:24 +0000Similar experience last month. Booking for a Bangkok hotel (three nights, two rooms, family) all ok then an email saying 'Booking Could Not Be Completed'. Tried to book again but rooms we wanted were shown as unavailable, so I chose another hotel. The second day of our stay received two confirmation emails from Agoda for both hotels, and they'd debited my Visa card for both amounts. Contacted immediately only to be told I was too late to cancel as it was outside the cancellation date - despite them not notifying me until day two of our holiday when we were already at another hotel. They don't respond to my emails. I have tried my NZ bank to do a chargeback but they said Agoda haven't responded to them either so appears our $ are gone. Good business practice, just ignore any complaints / refund requests.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:44:02 +0000I know people from all walks of life and who hold most political convictions. Might be one reason why I'm more open-minded and less bigoted than someone like yourself. Again? You've been right about something previously? There's a turn-up for the books. No, Jonny, I won't deny having said it. Unlike you, I've no need to lie. Then that famous perception of yours fails you yet again, Jonathan. Spent far too much time in them (admittedly less so in recent years). I wouldn't know. Do they allow men at WI meetings or do you have to dress up in your twin-set and pearls? Not that I've got anything against transvestites. You crack on if cross-dressing makes you happy, Jonny😉Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:43:43 +0000i can see that ........Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:42:56 +0000Kiwis and Canadians are mostly gay though - if youre straight you're probably better of confessing to being English than giving people the wrong idea and going on the 'Gaydar'. I agree that the English chavvy bogan types are bad to be arounfd but tbf they're good for business in Patts as they're on the lash 24x7 - so u have to balance that.

There are idiots of all nationalities, no reason to single out one... even thought there are many UK haters on this forum who are little more than the equivalent of racists.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:39:02 +0000He pulled away from NATO .... so they're just talking behind his back.
