HIV is a mutated version of a chimpanzee virus, known as simian immunodeficiency virus, which probably made the species-jump through contact with infected blood while handling bush meat.

Or Africans shagging monkeys.

I nominate the gents toilets of Angelwitch Bar in Pattaya. They are clean, modern, spacious and as good a place for a dump as anywhere in Pattaya.

Airport authorities should have removed the trouble makers from the plane.

What a nut case.

Mine is with amazon.co.uk

Its a vaccine, not a cure. It has been given to healthy people in developed countries to test that it works and is safe. It will be distributed in the affected countries if it proves successful.

A "good boy"? A good Muslim no doubt.

The result will be announced at around 1pm Thai time on Friday. The result may be announced earlier if the vote is not as close as expected.

Tragic.

If Scotland becomes less well off then it's the people in Scotland who will be most affected.

There will be a wave of refugees coming to England. Those who are too old to flee will suffer the most.

The Scottish banks are guaranteed by the Bank of England but would not be after independence.

In most countries of the world the issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by a single central bank or government, but in the United Kingdom seven retail banks have the right to print their own banknotes in addition to the Bank of England; sterling banknote issue is thus not automatically tied in with one national identity or the activity of the state. The arrangements in the UK are unusual, but comparable systems are used in Hong Kong and Macao, where three and two banks respectively issue their own banknotes in addition to their respective governments.

The Bank of England does act as a central bank in that it has a monopoly on issuing banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issues of banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pounds issued by Crown Dependencies and other areas are regulated only by local governments and not the Bank of England.

These skin coloured cycling outfits will distract drivers and cause more accidents.

BBC is reporting that the Thai police are looking for Burmese because they can't believe that a Thai could do such a thing.

Scottish independence is already being discussed in the Scotland thread in Non Thailand news.

Many people died because of his lateness in coming to the peace table.

I agree with KS. The man was evil and I can't comprehend how anyone could be so wicked.

I was hoping this thread would be a poll so we could vote on Scottish independence.

The main characteristic of religion is having faith that defies reason. The North Korean government preaches that paradise on earth will come when the good intent of the people turns the country communist rather than socialist as now. That is faith. The religion of North Korea is Communism.

Napolean couldn't do it.

Hitler couldn't do it.

If Cameron's policies end the UK, he will surely lose power at the general election in May.

A yes vote would embolden the separatists in Northern Ireland who may resort to breaking the peace.

There is some evidence that the 1 in 10 Scots who are Catholic fear independence because their freedom of religion would not be guaranteed by the Scottish Protestant majority.

In UK national elections the Scots always return Labour party MPs. Currently the Conservatives have only 1 out of 19 seats. But because the south east of England is more populous the Scots usually end up with a Conservative government. David Cameron with his austerity for the sake of it and unpopular policies like the bedroom tax has alienated the Scots and driven them to seek independence. There is a long history of London based Conservative governments treating the Scots like dirt. Margaret Thatcher introduced the hated poll tax in Scotland a year before the rest of the UK had to suffer it, even though most Scottish seats were Labour at the time.

Why ban E-cigarettes? To protect the business of the Thai Tobacco monopoly?

If Chang Mai has too much air pollution, I would consider Chang Rai. The girls are so beautiful.

This is all the fault of UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
