  1. Correct. It's all in the 'tone' you use like whispering, talking forcefully, then yelling!
  2. Love that outdoor tub. I'd like to have one. Did you make the tub yourself or get it frome somewhere? About 1m x 3m? I think I would add a bench in mine.
  3. Gordons Gin and Tonic for me - handle pint glass, fresh lemon and lime (squeezed) slices and a million ice cubes.
  4. The military elite are cunning. They know they can't win the next election. Now that Thaksin is securely beholden to them under the return deal, they will use PTP as their new 'democratic progressive' face to garner the votes of the young. They will do this with a foundation of sound economic policies devised by Tony, youth and social media interactions provided by 'mini me' Paetongtarn and lipstick coated freebies for the rural masses courtesy of Yingluck (once she's back). They will attempt to sugar coat this with a 'father knows best' demeanour (because they can't help themselves) which hopefully the young will see through and reject anyway.
  5. Anti vowel I reckon. It's a thing these days you see. Blame it on texting.
  6. Now your'e asking for too much. They do have minties but no snakes. Mmmmm, cherry ripe alright.
  7. I'm still curious to know the content of the Hong Kong discussions bewteen T & T. If MFP are dissolved they will simply reincarnate as the 'X Forward Party' for the next election so what exactly have the 'rulers' achieved? It will be difficult (but not impossible) to ignore the people a second time. I thought the discussion could have been around accepting their fate and then joining forces with PT after reincarnation for the next election but the 'rulers' want MFP and their ilk gone forever so PT need to be careful. Either way the 'rulers' have the LM charge on Thaksin to prevent him from straying from the agenda. Who knows? It's murky isn't it!
  8. Its a collective of chosen shadowy figures who meet in the protected inner sanctum of guilded halls under the veil of darkness. They have signed in blood to uphold their one mission and one mission only; to protect the source of their wealth and power at all costs. Sounds like somehting from Star Wars but its not! In my time here I have experienced varying degrees of competence and capability amongst the locals mostly leaning to the mid to lower end of the spectrum with some exceptions. However, when it comes money or power and even loss of face, their ability to pull off the impossible through shameless scheming, collusion and cunning knows no bounds. To answer your question though, simply put, they are the Dark Force!
  9. Villa has all the Aussie snacks you need and they deliver anywhere if you shop online. Smith's chips, bbq shapes, vegemite, arnotts biscuits, villis and four and twenty pies etc. etc. I have found vegemite in some tops and even big c at Ekamai.
  10. He deserves what he gets. But the relish the locals, including the authorites and press, are taking in beating him to a pulp is truly gut churning. If this continues I may have to get a 'I'm not Swiss' T-shirt made!
  11. In Australia, some Australians take great pleasure in burning the Australian flag particulalrly on Australia Day. Conversely, New Australians (foreigners who have received citizenship) wave it proudly and enthusiastically.
  12. Meanwhile in a land far, far away 'Boss' coninues to dance on the grave of a policeman. Perhaps protest about that.
  13. The first and last time I went there I got the feeling it was her daughters running the show exploiting their mother 'sister mole' for all she's got. Not sure what they will do when she dies.
  14. What would he have said if they were two new white technicians I wonder. Cheers to the secretary.
  15. I was thinking the same. Tony's head looks like its been photshopped onto someone elses body in the original photo. I know he has a big head but it really looks odd compared to his best mates.
  16. From the article: The official said that the SRT can either amend the joint investment contract with Asia Era One, by deleting the requirement for Notice to Proceed (NTP), or revoke the contract and call a new bid. AE1 is probably hoping for the latter. They must be Haemorrhaging money waiting for this EEC to ripen. Its not the railway that's delaying the project. They would be better off asking for an amendment and only do the Don Muang - Suvarnabhumi link.
  17. It's far from over. I would still like to know what was discussed in Hong Kong between him and Thanathorn.
  18. If it's the same international cooperation they sought for that tepid little man-child boss, then I don't fancy their chances.
  19. If they lined everyone up on the stairs with Srettha on the bottom they could all be the same height!
