Most definitely, ineffectually disguised behind a very unconvincing cheeky chappie cockney accent.- 1

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
Chiang Mai is not on the way between Bangkok and Nong Khai! Chiang Mai is one of the rare exceptions, as I mentioned, with having a walkable centre. Not that large though, and dwarfed by the rest of the city. On that same line, I would also mention Ayutthaya. These are 2 cities having kept an interesting and walkable centre, left from centuries past. Possibly Sukhothai? I cannot remember, last time I went there was 40+ years ago. But again, how could that compare with the dozens, if not 100's of beautiful walkable cities nearly any country in Europe has on offer? -

Analysis Quake Risk Lurking Under Bangkok: Fault Lines Spell Trouble
Well apart from the dodgy one still under construction that collapsed, all buildings were earthquake proof. There's a great video of a structural engineer explaining earthquake resistance and how no building can be said to be earthquake proof, but they can be earthquake resistant. He said they are designed to not collapse and to keep people safe, and likened it to a car. If you have a big car crash, your car gets crumpled but you remain safe and walk away, then the car design has done its job - no one expects to have a car crash and not see damage, as long as the occupant is safe it has done its job. In most cases it can be repaired, in severe cases written off. But no one died. Same as buildings - if there is an earthquake but people remain safe the building may have some damage that can be repaired, it may have damage that can't be, but it kept the occupants safe. Someone posted the video on here but I can't find it - it was interesting and enlightening. -

Diddy’s Dark Double Life: Trial Hears Disturbing Allegations of Abuse and Sex Trafficking
Tbh with you, Im not really here to argue. Just go watch the link above Ive linked from a defense criminal lawyer that has been helping ALOT of rappers. He said it himself -- hes cooked. Just please take your time and watch what he says. I dont think they gonna convict him on all counts. Hes not gonna spend life in prison. But he will spend the next decade or so for sure. Go watch the video he explain why the rackeetering charge is almost unbeatable. And please dont take my words for it.
