He's just knee-deep in the pile.

Not so sure he has shrunk. He has always been a dwarf both physically and mentally.

Sorry, can't resist it.

 

'Have you got the time?'

[holy cow cm]

He should not be in any talks as he is hopefully in his little way out. So this tells you something as nothing changes.

In the first picture Shanahan has a look on his face like he has just picked up a cold, slimy, wet toad. Oh wait a minute ...

If only Prawit could speak English, he could have come back with, "Only if you're got the energy."

Ed Bighead  : Nope, but I do have a mean watch collection, wanna see it, I have it back in my room? (all in Thai of course, so Yank has no idea what he's talkin about. )

No. Photographer chose the wong lense.  ( A fisheye by the look of it )

 

Either that or he was about to get a lot more intimate with the falang.

Thailand bit of a joke. Other countries all make speeches. Thailand can't because no one in seniority can speak English!

Toad Prawit having a bilateral discussion with amy coat-stand... Was it recorded? Oh please, I hope it was! A 'bilateral discussion', and all what follows about it in the text, must be quite long, articulate, ...needing a common language to communicate in, first of all.

The slime of all these press releases under authoritarian and dictatorial regimes is really disgusting, intoxicating! 

[happy chappie]

The toad is probably way out of his depth there and clueless to what it's all about.if Thailand has the slightest sniff of war they go into overdrive making white flags and stick to the side they think would win.an army of 90% peasant farmers who are forced into it.

if they were around dad's army could overpower Thailand.

[Wilsonandson]

Wonder what they are saying, thinking in this one?
