  2. Did the 4 take turns selling the gun 4 times, or did they all hand the gun over together, with each touching the gun, as he received it? 🤪
  3. So Trump claims that Mar-a-Lago is worth 1.5 billion. A House Democrat asked Palm Beach County, Florida, to tax Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort property at a rate in accordance with the valuation the former president claims. 555 https://www.salon.com/2023/10/05/democrat-calls-bluff-on-mar-a-lago-valuation-by-urging-florida-officials-to-hike-his/ https://news.yahoo.com/rep-jared-moskowitz-calls-palm-194757928.html
  4. but wait... Trump discloses nuclear sub information. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+discloses+nuclear+sub+information&t=osx&ia=web "It is becoming difficult to look at Trump’s behavior with the nation’s secrets and not see treason. Sharing sensitive information about U.S. nuclear sub detection and evasion capabilities with those who are hostile to America sounds a lot like providing aid and comfort to the enemy."

    Look at that! Agogo-Nana-Ghana Did you take wrong turn in Soi 3? Whiskey Agogo, Nana Plaza, Soi 4...
  6. I see, I had not until know known, that HiSo and Expat were the same - that explains the deference I get in LOS...
  7. Whilst I don't see him getting all his money taken, I think what is happening, is that he'll become just another millionaire, when they sell all his stuff. He'll become, like one of those Lord's sons, in England who live out their dotage, in the family mansion that has not had maintenance or staff or heating for decades. And he'll still go out side every morning and shout at the crows.
  8. Coming from NZ, in those days, we had no vision, of any of this, only the vinyl or the radio. The TV we did have, was not going to display Avant-garde performers. So I hadn't seen how ultra-camp he was in the early days. I studied 7 years of classical Piano, Royal Schools (now ABRSM), so I was feeding on Eno's music, with Roxy Music, 801, Before and After Science, Taking Tiger Mountain and Another Green World. When I realise, that he was working with some of the biggest names of the era, I now stand back, satisfied with my early enthusiasm for his work. Some of those names, are: John Cale, Genesis, Phil Manzanera, John Cage, David Bowie, Ultravox, Talking Heads, Devo, Toto, U2, Laurie Anderson, Sinéad O'Connor, Coldplay, Paul Simon, Grace Jones, Jean-Michel Jarre, Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Special mention: Robert Fripp, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay...
  9. They had to check with the Speaker of the House that it was OK to send ordinary police men, who had not been vetted for exposure to HiSo demi gods in Siam Paragon.

    And one to concern, all of us, with the X and Y chromosomes, over the age of, child. This British university is offering a degree in magic ...this will result in a whole generation of wannabe politicians with no grounding in reality, what so ever.

  12. 3 Mar 2015 NTN HEAD OFFICE – The online newspaper NotTheNation restarted its operations today with a new executive staff appointed by Thailand’s military government. The new editor-in-chief, Brigadier General Somyut Phraemonwichitmuang, was presented at a press conference to exhibit his credentials and to announce the exciting future of the now junta-controlled news operation. General Somyut, 92, was unable to speak or even stand at the press conference, due to a condition of “exhaustion” as described by his onsite physician. However, a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army read a statement on behalf of the new top editor at Bangkok’s trusted news source. “General Somyut is very excited to bring a fresh perspective and an infusion of energy to this worthy newspaper, and to assure that it plays its role in promoting Thai unity, harmony, and positive cultural values as we move forward together as a kingdom under His Majesty’s guidance.” The announcement brought new hope to the subscribers of NotTheNation, which suddenly and inexplicably ceased operations in October after army tanks surrounded its head offices following publication of a story calling coup leader General Prayuth Chan-Ocha a “total mother-hugger.” Reports that the executive staff were detained and/or expelled from the country remained unconfirmed. However, none of the original creators of the newspaper remain on NotTheNation’s executive board, which is now entirely composed of army appointees and members of the new Ministry of Journalistic Truth. Several journalists at the press conference attempted to ask how General Somyut, a lifelong military man with no experience on journalism or writing, could qualify as the CEO and managing editor of a newspaper. However, these journalists were quickly reminded that General Somyut is older than they are, and thus should not be questioned in an impolite way. According to the CV posted on NotTheNation’s new website, General Somyut entered the army in 1946, and was awarded for courage for participation in numerous anti-communist campaigns upcountry throughout the 1950s and 60s. He was also present or involved in top-level standing committees during the removal of Thai governments in 1971, 1976, 1977, and 1991. The General served as a vice-Chairman of the Transport Ministry from 1984-1988, has held board positions for several land development corporations, and is also a holder of nine honorary degrees from various Thai universities. Despite serving his entire career as a humble civil servant, General Somyut is worth an estimated 600 million baht. “We can think of no better or more qualified person than General Somyut to oversee the operations of a news organization,” said the army spokesperson. “He has proven himself a patriot and a Buddhist, which are the two most important qualities in Thai journalism. “His ascension through the ranks through obedience, subservience to order, and swift execution of action against enemies of the kingdom show his commitment to the higher principles that must rule a harmonious society. And his age and wealth establish him as a puu yai, who has earned credibility through karma.” Along with several other Thai news outlets, NotTheNation is now certified as an “information transmitter” under the new licensing program of the Ministry of Communications and Technology, and 51% owned by SCH Holdings PLC, a subsidiary of the Crown Property Bureau. None of the staff of NTN were available for comment. https://web.archive.org/web/20150311023152/http://notthenation.com/2015/03/ntn-welcomes-glorious-new-junta-appointed-editor-in-chief
  13. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2656821/three-dead-in-shopping-mall-shooting heard voices telling him to shoot people. past treatment for mental issues and these little gems from the link above: The mall closed early but many people remained inside, most of them police, journalists and assorted VIPs who had come to be briefed, among them Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. ( HiSo shopping mall gets shot up, entire Government rushes to location, to worry, over their shopping hobby ) Chada Thaiset, the deputy interior minister currently leading a high-profile crackdown on influential figures, was ushered to the place where the suspect was being held, and began interrogating him in front of the cameras. ( his logic process: ideal subject for high-profile crackdown on influential figures, 14 yr old boy... ) Pol Gen Torsak subsequently cautioned that the suspect had certain rights as a minor, among them the right to be questioned in the presence of a counsellor. ( one sane Thai man ) The suspect is reported to be a student at a private school in Bangkok and his parents are professors. When police searched the teen’s room at his home they found many rounds of ammunition including 49 9mm bullets and 15 spent shells of various sizes. A search of his phone reportedly turned up videos of him practising using a firearm. ( I knew it! - HiSo... )

    Because there were complaints before, on other posts, I am moved to note, that the OP was taken from NotTheNation - wayback machine - a decade ago. Or is that, a decade agogo ?
  15. Entire team is grumpy. Jung Cheol-won in hiding, with bruises.
  16. When a picture is worth a thousand words: Google will provide details for those who are interested.
  17. I think he means Dark Winds, Far North only has one season so far.
  18. Cupla TV series: Dark Winds, Zahn McClarnon stars. 6 episodes 2022, 6 more 2023. Navajo police officers in the 1970s Southwest. Good this, not stunning but worth a binge or perhaps 2. Far North I am perhaps biased, as it's a local (NZ) 6 part series, set not far from where I have family. Based on a true story - no spoilers - watch the end credits of episode 6 to see how true. Also backed up by local gossip from my family and news reports, over the last few years that correspond to the events in the series. Briefly: Comedy,crime drama and bizarre, as in a bunch of f*ck-knuckles do drug trafficking... I think well written and very Kiwi
