Maybe Babcock is referring to the lack of precedence as no one was imprisoned when the judges were bribed in the assets concealment case?

Take your point and the tongue in cheek nature of it, but for accuracy's sake, i think that the assets concealment case outcome was more down to intimidation than bribery.

You do not need to think...you are correct.

Reminds me of the old TV shows I watched as a kid with chimpanzees as the stars with English voice overs

Animal Magic?

Isn't that the Chinese one with the flying kung <deleted> guys?

You may be thinking of Monkey, who's spirit was irrepressible. (he got around on a flying cloud)

Anyway, this isn't a thread for nostalgia, as nostalgia needs something to have changed.

Worthy of a repost.

Don't cry for me Rachisima by St. Madonawatra

It won't be easy, you'll think I'm stranger

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me

All you will see is a PM you once knew

Although I'm dressed up to the nines,

All '60's and 70's to you

I had to let it happen, I had to derange.

Couldn't stay so belly up to the trough

Looking out of penthouse, staying out of limelight

So I chose freedom

Taking a runner, escaping anew

But some thing depressed me ; my fall

I never expected it, true.

Don't cry for me Rachisima

The truth I never told you

All through my blunders

My mad resistance

I kept my profits

Don't take your taxes.

And as for fortune, and as for face

They have been stolen

Though it's known to the world, they were all I desired

They were just illusions

I've not solutions, I'd promised to thee

The answer I've hidden is crime

I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Ratchisima

The truth would only bore you

I took grand percentages

Stiffled most resistance

I want my money

So drop your sentence

Have I said too much?

There's no truths more I can think of to say to you.

But all you have to do is look at me to know

That every word is true

Don't cry for me Rachisima

The truth I never told you

All through my blunders

My mad resistance

I kept my profits

Don't take your taxes.

You're the joker.

I read your other post the other day about the Bomb attempt against Thaksin being fake.

Balls.

Please keep up.

PS go view Wikipedia and heh what about Wikileaks and the $10000 hit alluded to by none other than Prem.

Does he have a version of "I Will Surwiwe" ?

I was here and watched it unfold, and saw the alleged pics of the alleged bomb.

Utter bullshit passed around for the gullible.

It was a sham to get an SOE and hold on to the job longer.

And the supposed perpetrator was never properly tried and hung out to dry...

rather miraculously. Because it was faked.

Believe what you like.

Any bets on how long it takes Noppadom or Amsterdam to come out with a "it didn't mean that" statement.

Already been on. Check post 11.

Well, I was thinking of the organ grinders paid for monkeys, not the water boy.

...and on the flip side, another butchered Beatle classic 'Imagine'

I. Imagine there's no justice, I wonder if you can

No one to bust you, for running from the law

Imagine all the people, rooting for a thug.

You may say I'm too greedy

but I'm not the only one

I hope some day, you'll back me

and I'll be the richest one

II. Imagine there's no taxes, no paying sums for nought

Only tax for dummies, no tax for firms I've bought.

Imagine all the people, chanting for my ego.

You may say I'm egotistical

but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll adore me

'cause I'll be the greatest one

Also butchered:

sung to the tune; Somewhere Over the Rainbow.......

Somewhere, over the border, riches wait.

I will, re-turn to Thailand, Reds say it is my fate.

All Thais will adore me, or else they should

I'll promise riches to all, new cars in every neighborhood.

Somewhere, over the border, justice fails

If I can't - bribe a judge, then I'll run off without bail.

Priceless!!clap2.gifcheesy.gif

Another take on another Beatles' song (Sorry George H., Rest in peace)

I. Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

Cause I'm the Taxin man

yea yea, I'm the Taxin man

You'll be rooting for no-one but me

II. When I say something, you agree with me

When I sing a song, you smile with glee

Cause I'm the Taxin Man

Yea, yea, I'm the Taxin Man

And you smile at all my antics.

III. I don't pay tax, but mai pen rai

You're above the law, when you're rich as I

Cause I'm the Taxin Man

Yea, yea, I'm the Taxin Man

And you praise everything about me.

I find it ironic that Thaksin chose Let It Be as the melody for his song. The English language lyrics to this song are about inner peace being found through religion, at least that's what I interpret the song to mean. Quite the opposite of the controversial lyrics which Thaksin sang in Thai.

And one can interpret the lyrics to mean exactly was was sweetly warbled: To let it be and to move on. Those who don't want peace can go screw themselves as they aren't worth the time. It's actually a positive message: Life is too short to waste it on whiners and malcontents.

Peace and go screw yourself seem rather incongruous to me. And "sweetly warbled" .... really??

All my bags are packed

Im ready to go

Im standin here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin

Its early morn

The taxis waitin

Hes blowin his horn

Already Im so lonesome

I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause Im leavin on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times Ive let you down

So many times Ive played around

But I tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you

Every song I sing, I sing for you

When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause Im leavin on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time

Let me kiss you

And close your eyes and

Ill be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I wont have to leave alone

About the times, That I wont have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause Im leavin on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

But, Im leavin on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

And I'm Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a Jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Imagine there's no Thaksin

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no corruption too

Imagine all the thais living life in peace

You, you may say

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And Thailand will be as one

FWIW, Paul McCartney wrote thie song in 1969. Religion may have now't to do with it. Mother Mary may be his Mum, who died when he was young.

Stop, you killing me.clap2.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gif I diden´t know TV had so many good songwriters.
