  1. But that was posted in Nightlife not News
  2. PUBLISHED : 27 NOV 2023 AT 04:30 NAKHON RATCHASIMA: A man went on a shooting rampage on his wedding day, killing four people, including the bride, and seriously injuring one other before turning the gun on himself on Saturday evening, Source
  3. I was thinking “Damn another one” then realised it was a post by Coss about something which happened I the past. This happened in Korat on 25 November, honestly “Groom goes ballistic and shoots up wedding party’ shootings are so common nowadays they don’t even make front page headlines, more than likely on page 7 with the latest “Lucky Lottery Numbers” story.
  4. There are enough deaths during “The Seven Deadly Days” imagine how many if it became “The Four Wicked Weeks”
  5. An interesting little fact about the Pogues, they got their name from the Gaelic Phrase “póg mo thóin,” which is pronounced Pogue Mahone, the translation to English? “Kiss my Arse!”
  6. No “Debbie Does Dallas” I’m disappointed. 7/10 of the list are from the USA, ironically the puritan country that goes apeshit about a nipple being exposed on Prime time TV are the worlds largest producers of porn.
  7. Sentiment echoed in many a UK tabloid
  8. Unfortunately the arsehold brigade what it banned for “offensive lyrics” You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last Guaranteed to be Christmas number one in the UK this year.
  9. Shane MacGowan, music and excess’ The Pogues were once described as a tight, professional bunch of musicians fronted by a total shambles. But the shambles, their charismatic singer Shane MacGowan, was heralded as one of the finest song writers and lyricists of his time. The Pogues' great achievement was to successfully bring together traditional foot-stomping Irish music with the crashing chords of North London punk. Like fellow Celts Brendan Behan and Dylan Thomas, MacGowan's source of inspiration was invariably alcoholic and he became as famous for his legendary excesses as he was for his music. Source
  10. A average “Backyard Swimming Pool” is 18,000 Gallons 18,000 Gallons is 4158000 Cubic Inches A dollar bill (according to Wolfram Alpha) has a volume of 0.06943 cubic inches. 4158000/0.06943=598,900,000 1 Billion Dollars in Dollar Bills would fill 1.672 Backyard Swimming Pools Why say 1 Billion Dollar, nearly 2 swimming pools full of cash is easier for an American to understand.
  11. Obviously the author of the article is from the other side of the pond. UK has Back Gardens not Back Yards UK measures volume in Cubic Meters / Yards not Swimming Pools, and just how big is a Swimming Pool, is there a standard size for back yard pool as there is for Olympic Pools? The SI Symbol for Gigaliter is Gl not GL, the prefix is Capital and Unit is Lower case (except degrees C) SI Units Not only does the US insist on using “Freedom Units” of measurement that don’t even use them half the time, everything is Length of x Football Fields Volume of x Swimming Pools The size of a Fridge or of a “Small Sedan” FFS why are they so adverse to saying what something actually is, and they wonder why the rest of the world laughs at them.

    That’s what I think the morally corrupt brigade do, aka Christians.

    Unfortunately the “Corination Chicken” is 70 years out of date, was the meal for when Betty had her crown screwed on in 1953, for Charlie it was a quiche. This years entries are pretty shit to be honest.

    BLAM!

    This Article sort of sums up my thoughts, it is a n overused cliche.
  15. No, They were separate imbeciles, Thailand has a plethora of them it seems It all makes trucks carrying soil falling into holes on Sukhumvit seem rather tame by comparison
  16. No, I that one the Fire Extinguisher exploded, in this one the Home Made Bomb exploded, and they are surprised Liquid Fuel and Nitrogen in a modified cooking gas canister, what did they expect, and these are supposed to be the Fire Safety Instructors . Shakes head in disbelief
  17. A few years ago, two Englishmen managed to get lost in the Sahara Desert. After three days, they were about to give up when they spotted a brightly coloured area on the horizon. Thinking it might be an oasis, they diverted slightly to get to it. It wasn't an oasis, but a form of travelling market. The two Englishmen hoped that one of the stallholders would have some water, so they approached the first stand and asked for water. The vendor bowed to them and replied "I have no water, but by the grace of Allah I do have sponge cake, tins of sliced peaches, strawberry jelly, custard, and cream." Rather crestfallen at this, they asked the second stallholder they saw. "I am sorry, but I have no water. By the grace of Allah I do however have sponge cake, fresh sliced peaches, orange jelly, custard, and cream." Feeling really worried by now, they found a third vendor and asked if he had some water. "Like the previous persons you have asked I have no water, but like them, I have, by the grace of Allah, sponge cake, sliced peaches and pears, lime jelly, egg free custard, and cream if you would like to try them." Feeling very depressed they tried the fourth salesman, who responded "It is most unfortunate that I have no water, but by the grace of Allah I have sponge cake, sliced peaches, mandarin slices, lemon jelly, custard, and cream for sale." This went on for every stallholder they saw, a request for water would be met with small variations on "I have no water, but by the grace of Allah I have sponge cake, sliced fruit, some flavour of jelly, custard, and cream." As they walked out of the far side of the market, the first Englishman turned to the second and said, "That was rather strange." To which the second responded, "Yes, it was a trifle bazaar." OK I will get my coat

    BLAM!

    It’s always confused me why people always say “But think of the Children” Whilst I am not saying we shouldn’t think about them, what makes them so special as to be singled out? You never hear Think of the Disabled Think of the Mentally Handicapped Think of the Pregnant Women Think of the Homeless etc These are also vulnerable people but no one ever seems to “Think about” them Maybe we should start thinking “About the VULNERABLE” and not just Children
  19. And it also shows the complete hypocrisy of Disney. Another one of those “It is Funny Because it is True”
