Overall, David is the UK's most popular first name for men and Margaret is the most popular first name for women.

Not sure which year you’re talking about but David is number 62 for 2024.

Another Thai bashed ready to attack the Thais.

Sensible people know to not put your foot near a boat propeller. The boat was stationary.

 

Malcolm, mate, nothing in my comment indicates Thai bashing, it's people, like you, that cause trouble.

I did not question that... Malcolm, learn to read, and understand, English.

It’s number 5 and that’s just because nearly all Muslim boys get given it, there are no other Islamic names in the top 100 other than two other spellings, Mohammed etc. 

1	Noah
2	Oliver
3	George
4	Arthur
5	Muhammad
6	Leo
7	Harry
8	Oscar
9	Archie
10	Henry

I didn't say it was number 1, I said first name, I didn't want to say "christian" name...

Glad it was only the ankle and the twins were left uninjured.

I thought it would be more likely that British Karen didn’t listen to instructions.

The hundreds of other divers seemed to manage ok.

Trolling yet again with the anti-Farang / Thai apologist nonsense at the drop of a hat….

 

…a typical MalcomB post - worthy of nothing other than disdain for this numpty…. It’s astonishing how he misses making an intelligent comment by a country mile.

Bacchetta is an Italian name.  First found in England in 1891.  Not sure where the Mohammad references come from, but never mind.  Don't care about her size, it's not relevant.  She looks a bit embarrassed to me at having to be carried.  Hope she recovers quickly.

During Lockdown these boat operators had ample opportunity to fit prop-guards, but it's not law to do that, IMO it should be. They are easy to make and fit, but as usual safety is not a feature in Thailand.

They could be fit over night.

 

But, IMO the ‘greed’ is a factor here… get a many tourists as possible - no matter the risks to them. 

 

It’s that time of year when we’re due another boat capsize due untrained / unqualified / unregistered captains.

These could be made and fitted I'd say for under 2K using stainless steel.

It really makes you wonder whether or not these boat captains have ever had any safety training, and how much attention they pay to nearby swimmers and divers. What's really surprising is that this doesn't happen more often  considering the incredibly LAX safety standards here. 

 

it wouldn't make any difference, you cannot train stupid

Jet drives are the answer. No props. Drove one for ten years at work.

It's the same mentality as on the road   .

They think they are big time driving a small bike with big noise 

Tourist attraction come to Thailand everyone can now drive stoned and drunk you can burn to death on a crapped out bus or be run over by a idiot while swimming 

Yeah ! Best that the world just stays away !

Injured by the boat propeller.

That headlines brought me a gruesome images(arms or legs chopped up by the spinning blades).

But that foreigner looked still able-bodied.

A lucky feller.

Well, neither Sadick Khan

you can encounter more Mahmuds, Krishnas and Rajneeshes in UK than Johns and Ringos.

Is Mohammed still the most popular christian name in the UK? It was not that long ago, maybe the arrival of the boat people changed that.
