Oh the irony....

Watchman having problems with the ticker....

No dead friend donating a spare?

No dead friend donating a spare?

He can borrow it and return after getting well[emoji23]

[colinneil]

How can a heartless person have a heart by-pass op?

[darksidedog]

He is probably bunkered down writing out new versions of where the watches came from in case the anti corruption office don't believe his latest pack of lies.

I am sure there are more then a few out there hoping he doesnt make a full recovery.

[HooHaa]

I question whether or not this is just a way to get him out of the spotlight.

if he doesnt come back for health reasons, they have effectively publicly sidelined him without any admission of culpability from anyone. Its rather a win win.

he can still exert influence behind the scenes, the thorn is out of the army's, junta's,  government's side.

i do hope he has made plans to dispose of the watches should he perish on the table.

Maybe lend them to someone.

Like this?

 

[Somtamnication]

What TIME will he be back?

[Rimmer]

A derogatory name calling post has been removed

[rkidlad]

I think this is Bhudda’s sign to quit and go away now. I’d rather see him in prison for corruption, but I’ll take him just disappearing any day. 

[yellowboat]

Wonder what has lead to his ill health.  Was it poor nutrition, or all the beatings he received as a cadet ?

[chuang]

Oh I didn't know he has a heart...

[nausea]

Well, it's very covenient is all I can say.

[champers]

Has he come back from USA, or stayed out there for the operation?

I agree.  Why now?  Surly the stress (if he ever really had any) is completely gone after his anti-corruption-committee junta buddies gave him a free pass.  Yep, the timing sure is convenient, ain't it?

Prawit to meet Mattis at Pentagon during 5-day visit to the US

So is this just BS?.......or did he have a Rolex transplant!

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking

[sammieuk1]

Rolex now making pacemakers ?

[Benmart]

Like the poor, the abused, the downtroden; time  does not recognize power, position nor the trappings of imagined power or immortality. Time is the great equalizer, regardless of the cost or nature of the timepiece.

Brain was by-passed long ago, now it's time for the heart.

Didn't do any good for the donor though did they

I suspect he diplomatically organised the invitation for himself to visit the USA. No doubt he pre-arranged his own hospitalization for the operation. That way the public get to fund his travelling and other accommodation and incidental expenses. He only has to stump up the surgeon's fees. Like stealing from a blind man's begging bowl. Crooked as they come.

[PETERTHEEATER]

Ah, the sympathy just keeps on coming.....

Might be looking for another borrowed ticker soon..

[saminoz]

Now he's the bypass man!

Brain bypass, personality bypass & heart bypass.

[Jonmarleesco]

Not the only thing that is bypassed.

[connda]

I wonder which one of his 'tickers' he had fixed???

Well, the donor would certainly need to be dead; though whether pre- or post-loan is another matter.
