Are my posts so odious? <joking> John LeCarre did in fact write a novel which touched on Thailand, occasionally one hears someone like the Nation saying that what he said was complimentary to Thais, but it wasn't. The Honourable Schoolboy (his best novel imho), The Erawan got an honourable mention, and LeCarre limits himself to saying about Thais that 'they kill sooner than most' (I think I Have the quote correct). To my mind he meant they are ruthless and dishonourable more than most, but I see occasionally that Thais who can read think he was being complimentary. Funny old world... 'Manufacture an argument and go on the piss' - LOL! Oh ye of great patience. I have yet to have the pleasure of reading The Honourable Schoolboy, but you have just shunted it up my list. As for Mrs baboon, just go on the piss, then! You planned it ages ago, so why bother creating a pretext and (worse still) fights at home? You were always going to, so get on with it. The correlation with Thai politics is obvious...
June 19, 20187 yr Now if the Shins could sneak a few photo ops in the UK or France, (or even better, both) laughing, smiling, enjoying a cocktail, with P in the background.......all grumpy and dog faced....that would be a maraschino.

They would do even better if they allowed me to be an "immigrant"..
June 20, 20187 yr I'd have paid cash money to see the Shins photo bomb that meeting in London... Not enough to pique their interest, but then, I'm not a billionaire.

You're confusing "immigrant" with "foreign transient". Wanna bet? Look at your visa and see if it says "non" on it. Most of them were dismissed to bugger off when they had served their purpose.

I agree but... The opposite would be more hilarious. I believe it is called photobombing. Mr P all serious in the front doing something official, Mr T and sis in the background pulling silly faces.

What would you do if you could do time for speaking out back home? Or face getting locked up for liking a picture on social media? I'm sure for many here it's not worth the risk.
