I must be on a different Facebook.

[zaphod reborn]

Facebook?  He probably would have gone undetected had he posted on Craigslist.  After all, the RTP spend most of their day surfing Facebook.

Oh dear oh dear.

Is that an anti tank missile in your pocket or………?

Be prepared for some escalation in road rages

Type in Colonel Klink and it takes you right there. I am sure that he will use the "I don't know nothing" defense. Its good to see that the military keeps this stuff under secure lock and key so that your average Tom Dick or Colonel Klink cannot get access. He walked right into the trap.

Just the place to advertise anti-tank weapons. Lots of tank killers follow Thai News.?

[khundon]

I take it, that all the extra number slips are for the extra charges the police will be filing, but for which, no evidence will ever be found.

I am impressed with this Holmes.

 

Especially after I've just seen a load of excruciating garbage from you in a thread about somebody dying during a session with a ladyboy.

 

But this one was very good.

[rott]

Low standards, me.?? You wouldn't believe it lad, it would break your heart.

[JHolmesJr]

No i believe it.

Those things on the table look very small to be able to take out a tank,

maybe another exaggerated headline.

Yes, its are

[radiochaser]

Those things on the table on the left, in the picture, look more like anti-personnel mines.  More designed to maim and injure than to kill.  

Pile all of those together and they might blow a tank track off, but individually, might blow a rubber pad off a track and still leave the track in operational condition.

At 65 Wirayuth  would have been out of the army  a long time or was he General Wirayuth

He should have try to sell these to the army not on facebook

It looks like he never received the Intel.
