What a crying shame..............

[Moonrakers]

My heart bleeds for him.

Spotted in Old Park Lane

where does lydia live ? wonder if it was the missus or another paramour

[frodo]

The shock and horror of this! The poor man and his family must be devastated and going through hel_l right now. Should we begin taking collections? How can we set up a bank account in his name?

[unomi]

That would never have happened in Thailand.

[goonerthegooner]

My heart is bleeding purple piss,please could anybody send me the guys name that did this nasty thing so i can send him a blank cheque,too continue his good work.

[animatic]

It seems my earlier comment was deleted.

I wasn't advocating or inspiring the action in question...

I though THAT was clear.

But that Thaksin's particular inaction didn't match up too well

with his bid for asylum...

I can't really see why it was deleted.

But... I guess that one word was too dangerous for someone.

[JetsetBkk]

Yes, looks like he's learning about England the hard way.

[Slip]

I can only hope my compatriots continue to show the disgust at this man/family that he/they deserve.

[Ricardo]

Perhaps he had parked it outside the Benefits-Office, while he just popped in, to make the usual asylum-seekers' claim for support ?

What makes it a Monster Rolls Royce, is it Halloween already, in Kensington ?

[ratcatcher]

Rolls Royce as driven by rich Thai criminal on the run from the law.

Rolls Rice as driven by poor Thai farmers who trust rich Thai criminals on the run from the law.

[thedude]

why does the nation think this is newsworthy?

Rolls Rice as driven by poor Thai farmers who trust rich Thai criminals on the run from the law.

Are we to contrast the poor farmers with struggling lower middle class urban Thais who trust wealthy and equally scoundrelous Thai criminals who are not currently on the run from the law?

Thaksin and Potjamon have their own private security in London - Thai nationals who are both male and female - and you can be sure that special branch has an attachment assigned to them - money and influence talk -

The white roller looks very similar to the one John Lennon had - in 1967 - before he decided to have it re-painted in a multi-coloured rainbow style - I'm sure you've all seen the photos of Lennon posing next to the beast -

As for you post aazA - unfortunately - and as I've mentioned before - and I've been following political events here very closely for about eight years now - Thaksin - is the problem - and even though he is no longer domiciled in Thailand - his influence and political sway is having an extremely detrimental affect on the country -

[frodo]

Just a guess. Knowing Thaksin's past record of turning molehills into mountains, he'll turn this event into another assassination attempt. In another Thaksin episode about so many "attempts" on his life, he'll show that it would be very unsafe for him and his family to return to Thailand, and he'll secure his asylum bid.

This was Lennon's 1965 R.R. Phantom V, the Roller picture I posted earlier is, I believe, a Silver Cloud. Anyway I'm not nitpicking, Bulmercke, but had to reply since your Avatar bears a striking resemblance to madam Yoko Ono. Maybe coincidence.

What? Both male and female? These ladyboys are everywhere ....

[AussieFarang]

Its obviously Khun Samak - Down on his Luck.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Loaded]

You can up pick old rollers, like the one in the picture, at the Blackbushe Car Auctions West of London for just a couple of thousand pounds. Real wealth buys new.

[Scott]

I have no compassion for Thaksin or his wife, but I find it interesting that so many people could see him as the problem. He isn't the problem, the problem(s) are deep within the social structure and the current political situation is the flashpoint. This kind of thinking is the same as what got the US into trouble in Iraq, where they found that Saddam Hussein wasn't the problem. Both men are nuisances and boils on the butt of humanity, but that's about it.

I hope he gets his window fixed.

[Mosha]

Jeezuz what's the fuss. Cars get there windows bricked in all the time in the UK. They were just after the car radio.

You are making an assumption that they 'trust' anyone outside their nuclear families...
