Exactly right

It used to be used in the "old days" to test teletype equipment simply because the sentence contains every letter (at least once) in the English alphabet. Therefore each key on the teletype got tested/printed. If one key was bad, that letter didn't print or cut the paper tape properly. So the repairman knew what key was bad.

I imagine the headline was pre-prepared expecting a TRT victory and someone forgot to put in the story.

Sentences containing every letter of the alphabet are called

pangrams, or holalphabetic sentences.

Best journalism I've seen on the Bangkok Post in years!

Prodigal lesbians from Venezuela know just exactly how to eat quiche.

George: Lucky you got that snapshot when you did. I just checked the link and found everything is back to 'normal' - whatever that is in Thailand.

Looks like Thaksin is set for the next 4 years. What is not stated so far in this thread is that candidates spent 10 billion baht during this election. That's a lot of money.

It will be interesting to follow Thaksin's progress until the next election. Maybe Thai people have short memories or they think the same as in the USA (G W Bush re-elected) and Australia (John Howard re-elected).

In both these last two cases, voters said to themselves: 'I don't really like the present leader, but I am scared that the other guy could be worse.'

I would say,by the look of The Bangkok Post today,they have a new printer,everything seems more bolder,just a guess.
