Daily News said they had not ruled out a connection to the upcoming election or theft, but more competent authorities have probably already determined otherwise.

I'm just careful when dealing with them or I get my wife to do business with Thais, I look the other way. Life has its lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Sitting on my verandah, oiling my guns, sipping a single-malt and shooting the brother-in-laws chooks. It don't get much better than this I tell you.

Not a colonial master, but I certainly go out of my way to avoid contact with Thais. I prefer people who can offer me something. Thais just don't have anything I want. *shrug* whatever that makes me is what it makes me, I frankly don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that is true, and certainly I have had words with the missus about her automatic response to support Thais whom I have excoriated. Doesn't happen often but it does happen. Nonetheless, I'm fortunate - I understand the psychology of Thais; I know what frightens the crap out of them, and I know how not to use it but to rely on their awareness that I might. It's all a bit of a game. But I appreciate and accept the spirit of your comment, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those cards are out there I hope the story emerges soon.
