Re: A Little of What You Fancy? - A full Scottish breakfast
I eat a full Scottish breakfast each and every day. For those not familiar with a North West Scottish breakfast this is how it goes. Start off with 3, perhaps 4, full strength cigarettes washed down with a pint mug of sweetened tea, [3 spoonfuls of sugar]. Next, 4oz deep fried haggis, 2 fried eggs, ...

An affront to the King?
Simply put, is Sandra Gregory plain barking mad? She was granted, by the graciousness of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a royal pardon. And the woman has the temerity a few years later to attempt to gain admittance to Thailand. Doesn't she realize that she was guilty of a capital offence in Th...

Murder abrogates the 'right to life'
I believe human life is invioable . I also hold that for any human being to take the life of another human being abrogates their right to invioability of their own life. If the perpetrator's thoughts and intentions were to kill then that is an act of murder. The penalty for which I hold ought to be...

One of my current colleagues picked up the language using a CD and a computer. Apparently his accent is good and he puts it down to listening and repeating words via this programme. I'll see if I can find out the name of the programme. VS That would be very helpful VS, I cannot find a Thai tutor he...

ELBBARCS World Champions
Well done chaps - an excellent victory. I think there is however a clue to explain this success in the Thai competitors names, viz. Nemitrmansuk, Siriwangso and Panyasophonlert. If, as a child, they have to remember such complex names in its Anglicised format then the World Scrabble tournament must...
