The Yes vote Scots are saying they won`t be able to service their share of the UK national debt unless they are allowed to keep the pound....this would of course demand strong action in response - a shortbread tax

Max sentance for manslaughter is about 15 yrs so he might still do some substantial time behind bars.

Part of the problem is that the " Yes " camp is now regarded as more trendy/forward looking etc. while " No " voters seem almost ashamed to admit it . However,the way people say they will vote and how they actually vote are not necessarily the same.

Not surprising really - too hot to do any exercise and more money to buy good food = lots of fatsos .

Cameron should be campaining - for - a Yes vote for Scottish independance,after all,without the Scottish Labour vote the Tories are more likely to get an outright victory in whats left of the UK .....maybe we could call it " Little Britain "

" Going to clear all sunbeds " ...Wow ! I wonder if this means deckchairs as well ? It would certainly change the beach drastically cos there are 1000 `s of them,specially at the Jomtien end where there are literally mile after mile of deckchairs.

Would not choose Chiangmai City - too much traffic and air pollution .

Looks like Putin wants the Eastern part of Ukraine to be autonamous from the rest which would give Russia control over this region.The Ukraine Govt. know that despite all the rhetoric from NATO,the West is not prepared to have a military conflict with Russia over this issue,so I would guess they will have no option but to negotiate with the rebels and come to a settlement which gives them ( the rebels ) what they want.

100 bt/m....wow you have " money too mutt ".....sounds like they want to get the girls off the street ( where they don`t generate profit for those with influence ) which will boost the takings in the bars,gogos,clubs and MP s .

So many questions left un-answered in this campaign,such as - what will the currency be,what will happen to Scotland`s share of the UK national debt,what about the UK`s nuclear base on the clyde ?.....Also many financial firms are considering re-locating south of the border should there be a " Yes " vote.

" Bus no. 550 to Happy Land "....Sounds nice - I might go just to see what its like ...although if its anything like Paradise City( Nakorn Sawan ) then it may be a disappointment

nice one .....Something I`ve often wondered about ( not happened to me yet,thankfully ) - what happens if the person infront finishes their meal/snack before you and decides to recline their seat while you still have a cup of tea/coffee on your table - hot drink all over the trousers I would imagine

Maybe....what about barfine receipts ? ------> because only tourists could afford it ,or a " good guys go to heaven bad guys go to Pattaya " T-shirt

" Those doing visa runs are required to prove they are genuine tourists " ....how ?

They should do something about the bus station at Morchit - the place is a real mess - getting off the bus one is besieged by touts offering spurious advice.No signs anywhere giving directions.Its quite close to the skytrain so in theory you could connect with Downtown or the airport but the lack of information makes it well nigh impossible

Story in the news today about an aircraft in the UK that nearly crash landed due to the plot`s prostetic arm falling off at a critical moment during the proceedure WTF....I`m all for disability rights etc but surely this is political correctness gone mad.

Interesting choices.....in the drinks section,it all depends what the drinks are - if its the watered down stuff they serve in some of the gogos at 55 bt a glass ( so called happy hour )you could down them all night and still walk a straight line home

The only time I`ve ever been asked to show my passport was on the bus from Mair Sot to Tak.At the checkpoint all the Thais had to show their ID cards and the soldier searched my backpack and looked through my passport.They seemed rather nervous to see a Farang in that neck of the woods or maybe its just me that looks suspicious ......that was several yrs back,nothing since then.Slightly worrying that this 2000 bt fine is mentioned again as it gives an excuse for unscrupulous MIBs to shake down tourists in the same way as they do with the cigarette dropping scam on Suk.

6 billion could buy you large parts of Isaan and an army of body guards - whats unsafe about that ? ....Aquiring a Thai wife/GF who stands to inherit everything .....now that would be really dangerous

The first priority of a govt. should be to protect the lives of its people.In this case Hamas seems to enjoy playing soldiers while Israel destroys large parts of Gaza.I mean what is the point - 90 % of their rockets get shot down anyway They need to come to their senses and realise military conflict is not the way to go.

Is this not a form of male genital mutilation as well, what choice does the infant boy have. Although legal is this not barbaric practice ?

Trade sanctions will hurt both parties and may not really be effective.Parts of Europe rely heavily on gas supplies from Russia.However if the situation gets worse in Ukraine it will have a big influence on European attitudes to doing business and investing in Russia.

Strong condemnation from Obama today,although he may not be in a very strong position as the US also shot down a civilian airliner a few yrs ago ( Iranian ? ).
