BelgianBoy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Nope, Spain is too big to fail and too big for a bail out. Currently Germany is doing very well (unemployment is still going _down_). But if the Euro crashes I guess Germany will be hit very hard as well. No man can solve the Euro crisis, only a woman will :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 40 ? Haw haw haw - thats a good one .... Look at your choices in the upcoming Presidential race and tell me you typed that with a straight face. Like Oz, you have a choice between the devil you know and the demons you are only just beginning to loathe. I've said it before, but we really need Lee Kuan Yew cloned before he dies - benevolent dictators are the only way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horneytorney Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 benevolent dictators are the only way to go. if all subjects in your country are similar to you then I would say you need a dictator for sure; benevolence is not a priority! on a sidenote I am not so sure whether Lee Kuan Yew was really the benevolent dictator, that Singaporeans refer to. Of course he pushed for a lot of economic and social progress. But how did he treat, resp. erase opposition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 doesnt matter how he did just look at the results from sillypore - no laughing stock at all like the thais! even the west looks there for 'inspiration'. i know i was impressed by their uni - i attended - see where that got me (yeah into LOS!)

Horneytorney Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 the Singaporeans (and in particular the Lee family party) are very good in keeping all those issues, that would not qualify for a real democracy under the radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm over 'real' democracies. Laos and Vietnam seem to have survived their brutal Communist overlords and the people are still able to smile on a daily basis. Sure, I wouldnt want to be a journo or someone with strong political views on the status quo, but then I wouldnt want to be in that position in Thailand either .......

gobbledonk Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sweet Jesus - only late June, but somehow our dollar is remaining strong against the baht: 1,000.00 AUD = 32,010.40 THB My hi-fi buying ambitions at Piyanas will definitely be buoyed by anything over 30, but I've done costings on everything based on numbers as low as 26. Anything below that and its PI or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything below that and its PI or bust. Well, now the USD is nearly 32 baht to the dollar. Hope this upward trend in the exchange continues.

gobbledonk Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 We start August, 2012 with the AUD over 33 baht on xe.com. Combine that with low season and a frosty Winter for most of us down here and I can only envy any Aussie currently enjoying the hospitality of the Thai people. Bastards.
