I heard one guy saying that the winds were 85 km/h - hardly seems enough for a modern crane to come down. My prejudices about third world standards come into play, but this being Mecca, one would have thought that the crane was properly installed.

Sad really. But are they arresting any foreigners to blame it on ?

I couldn't handle being a media whore...

Well done, I've got to get rid of 20 Kg recently gained.

I know what you mean, here in Hobbit Land, I am now 'the enemy' again, because I have the temerity, to be middle aged, white and male. Getting sick of it. MLG on the other hand, is having a good time of it, though we do get odd looks when in public together.

Thai Murders: DNA 'Does Not Match' Defendants The trial of the men accused of killing two British backpackers hears DNA on the murder weapon does not match the defendants. Britons killed on Koh Tao The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found in Koh Tao A forensics expert says DNA found on the garden hoe used in the killing of two British backpackers in Thailand does not match the two defendants. The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found on a beach on the holiday island of Koh Tao last September. Miss Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, had been raped and beaten. Mr Miller, 24, from Jersey, drowned in the sea after being clubbed around the head with the hoe. Burmese bar workers Zaw Lin and Wei Phyo, both 22, have pleaded not guilty and claim they were beaten by police. The head of Thailand's central forensics institute told the trial two profiles were found on the hoe - one a full sample, the other a partial sample - but neither matches the defendants. The DNA analysis was ordered by the defence after police failed to carry out their own tests after the murders. They also treated the murder scene haphazardly, the witness told the trial on the island of Koh Samui. Blood was not DNA tested for instance, at least one of the bodies was moved - potentially destroying evidence, and not enough photos were taken. The trial has previously heard claims the pair were beaten naked by police, suffocated with plastic bags and threatened with being killed at sea. Both men say they eventually confessed after being told they would only go to prison for four or five years. http://news.sky.com/story/1550571/thai-murders-dna-does-not-match-defendants

Marco Polo I - Netflix original series - Very Good, lots of Mongols, nekkid women and battle. Even some convincing Kung Fu. I'm looking for season II as soon as it's made.

Words fail me, so I thought I'd post this, for your edification. Actually, I have to wonder, how this chap got into this state, there but for the grace of god...

What you said. I understand completely why places like NZ do not allow educational qualifications from Thailand, Laos etc, to count, in NZ Universities.

It's defamation if my lawyer is bigger than yours.

nope, didn't think red was a determinative factor

I'm an Ice in beer fan. 40 degrees, in the shadow of the Cashew nut tree, whiskey glass size vessels, ice, beer Lao, and the tradition is that you all drink together, a toast and bottoms up. The beer does not get left on the ice, it's consumed quickly and at maximum chill. This allows you all to anticipate the next round. It's a good way to get the maximum effect on a hot day. Those who don't use ice, get warm beer after 2 minutes, those who let the ice melt are not serious drinkers.

Given that the others clearly, seek to keep the soldiers away from him, I'd suggest that as PTBM has opined, he may have some serious parents.

There are clearly some figures in red shirts, holding the soldiers back initially, so that the guy in no shirt, can continue his enjoyment of the game. It would be interesting to know who this guy is.

Thai fans set off fireworks during an Asean Under-19 football match in Vientiane before Lao police took control of the situation. (Photo from Thai football to world boxing YouTube) Lao police on Saturday released 25 Thais who stirred up violence during a football match in Vientiane on Friday night, the Thai embassy said. The embassy said Lao authorities contacted Thai diplomats in Vientiane to arrange for the hooligans to be sent home and they were freed from detention. The War Elephants played Vietnam in the Asean Football Federation Under-19 final at the National Sports Complex Stadium in the Lao capital. The Thai side thrashed Vietnam 6-0 to take the Asean championship. Trouble erupted after the Thai team scored its second goal 11 minutes into the second half as a group of fans set off fireworks, prompting Lao police to confront the visitors, Siam Sport reported on its website. A police officer fired a bullet into the air to quell the disturbance and the fans were removed from the stadium to be detained, it added. Lao authorities seized the passports and ID cards of the fans calling themselves "Ultras Thailand", according to Matichon Online. The Thai embassy issued a statement on Saturday to apologise to Laos for the "rude action" of the fans. "The embassy regrets and apologises to officials and all Lao people for what happened," the statement said. The Football Association of Thailand plans to ban the hooligans, probably for life, after reviewing the case. "The association will look into this matter. If they are the same group who have made trouble before, we could ban them from all games for the rest of their lives," Pol Lt Col Chaisup Tharatritpiem, an association member, told Matichon Online. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/681816/laos-frees-thai-football-hooligans
