Most people want more people to join PM’s weekly talk show

[NongKhaiKid]

Will he use seats or a couch and do the talk show host thing ?

My guests this week include by younger brother, the always popular and most welcome army commanders of regions ... and those lovely folks from Thai Researchers for Community Happiness. In our totally spontaneous and unscripted show everyone will say exactly what they've been told to say and will lavish praise on me which is richly deserved.

Now sit back and enjoy, or else !

Low entertainment value, kid. How about Boonsong explaining G2G rice deals, Surapong to talk about how Thaksin got his passport, Nattawut to tell us how to get trucking contracts with the government and why the rice got delivered to the wrong address, Jatuporn just for the punch-up.

Another one of these lying rubbish propaganda polls praising prayuth. If he didn't order only pro polls then you may believe a little.

Thailand's Jerry Springer Show, the mind boggles !

The guests wouldn't be allowed to attack each other though as that privilege would be reserved for the genial, should that be genital, mine host.

would be a great show, the host throwing the mother of all tantrums dragging his summoned guests around stage by the ears and throwing banana skins at the audience as part of the pre show warm up. He could have a wall riddled with bullet holes and stains as a backdrop. It could be called the Uncle Too Show.

If you like. And after the conclusive evidence of their crimes and their mangy excuses, they could have public executions as a climax. Not only would the show get great ratings, it would be good for the country.

Save Yingluk for the season finale, with a teaser that her brother might star in the next series.

We will probably never know about the finale because all the entertainment journalists will probably be used up in the first couple of shows.

Another BS from the so called NIDA Poll.

The PM said last week that he will avoid being the only speaker on this show and share his time with his ministers.

Why do they pretend that the people is asking for that?

One of these days.......I will adjust to Thai logic.

Besides the B/S factor, the show would be as entertaining as watching paint dry or the kardashians take your pick.

[mikemac]

Great idea, how about guests as well? Maybe Grace Jones or Elton John?

Even better - djjamie!

No, I want to see Joc appear on the show, just to see him exchange witty remarks with the PM.

And Mango Bob, that would really make it interesting.

[hansgruber]

My biggest gripe is that these Friday night speeches interrupt the scheduled movies.

The Indiana Jones series was ruined as it runs for about 10 mins, gets cut off and then the PM babbles on for over an hour only to find the movies comes back on with 10 mins until it ends.

Wish they would get the programming skills up to 1st world standard. How hard is it to press pause??

[Toscano]

My guess is that most people switch off their television at 20:15 on Friday even .

[Neocon]

The new Friday night format cured my insomnia.

[Mot Dang]

Yep, he must be getting pretty bored saying the same thing every night.

"How do you like your martini Mr. P ? With a little bit of spin please, and garnish with a strawberry."

Happens Mon-Fri on several movie channels and doesn't return happiness.

[wabothai]

What people like to see and hear is some hefty debates, and not the one-way

boring song of some generals.

[DrTuner]

There can be only one.

[jerojero]

Observed many local Thai's ignore his weekly show! And 1200 accurately represents 70 million citizens? Ha!

His speeches really need some "Ba Dum Tish" drum sounds and some "boing" at the end of every statement for maximum effect.

Then add a ladyboy, a midget, and that fat kid with the funny hair that looks about 16, and I think you have the makings of a decent comedy hour.

...oh, and please, could you move the time-slot as it clashes with Survivor on a Friday night.

Thanks in advance.

[joebrown]

I was always of the opinion that a 'Talk Show' involved someone/people engaged in debate where there would be questions asked and answers given. Never yet seen this happen on a Friday night. Can't think why this is. Could it be that I'm not yet in tune with the new Thai definition of 'democracy/accountability'?

Thank you.

I would love to take you up on the offer, but unfortunately my time is limited as I am busy earning a living to support my family with the intention of getting them to Australia ASAP.

In Australia ministers that lie are not defended by the PM and I want my kids to grow up in a country knowing that lying is not acceptable or defended by uneducated westerners that think it is.

Have a lovely Easter Monday my friend and take care.

djjamie, I'ill make a prediction, and it's this. Thaksin is not going to be in charge of Thailand again. I predict the junta will stay in power for another ten years, actually, call it twenty.

Thaksin, love him or hate him, he's not going to be in charge of Thailand again. Do you want to stay in Thailand for the long-term ??

Nup.

Politics aside, if you had a choice to bring your kids up in Australia (or your home country) or Thailand even though you may get 4 times the money in Thailand (as I do) compared to Australia it is a complete no brainier desicion.

Unlike the majority on this site I live in Thailand out of necessity due to work and financial commitments. I am not here because I love the country.

Those commitments over time have enabled me to be in a position to leave Thailand and as much have I have enjoyed the memories I will leave it ASAP and happily pay tax knowing the tax money will not support people like Chalerm, yingluck and others that allow terrorism to flourish with impunity.

Obviously leaving it knowing that democracy may finally return after the dark days of the Shins is saddening, but it is a required move none the less. (yes yes, one principle stands…yingluck was elected..I was talking about the 14 other principles which even people with Alzheimer's can remember)

Thanks for the reply my friend.

djjamie, hold on a minute.

You're heading out of Thailand, but this is because you want to live in Australia and not Thailand. You're heading back to Australia NOT because you feel that you will be paying tax and not supporting people like Chalerm,etc.

As in, the taxes you're paying right now in Thailand are not supporting Chalerm, and indeed, if you carry on staying in Thailand, well, your future taxes will not be used to support Chalerm. You accept my prediction, right, that Thaksin is not going to be back in power ??

In other words, you heading to Australia in the future is nothing to do with you making future payments of tax to support Chalerm. After all, Thaksin is not going to be in power as far as the future is concerned.

We agree on that last point, right ??

[trainman34014]

No thanks....One bloated Moron talking crap is enough; we don't need a gang !
