withdrawal of a US state from the USA

Prompted by the Scots vote and remembering Quebec's two attempts to separate from Canada. Is there any constitutional way that a US state could withdraw from the USA? I know it was tried in the1860s, but the union reacted very badly to that attempt.

Re: posting pictures that are not in Thailand

I guess that HH residents, few who are Canadians, are really hungry for weather reports from canada

Re: The new Venezia Shopping complex

I think it has a certain Zen beauty. Not often you see a deep thought on a parking sign.

Re: RIP - Ian Lewins

Ian was responsible for attracting significant number of high end golfing groups to come to HH. In his easy going way he never pushed this too much, but the satisfaction of those he was involved with was very high.

Re: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Movies at Hua Hin Cinema

I went to see Nov man , the 6 40 show, last night. I don't even attempt to use the auto Ticketer but went to the cashier station and knocked on the glass til a girl emerged. When leaving I looked at the audience, mostly from behind. About 15-20 in all. The surprising thing, mostly young Thai girls. ...

I think that British maybe the largest group, year round,but a majority I doubt it. Dec to March the swedes are the biggest group for sure.

Many ATMs in the us, you do not insert your card, just swipe it by putting in and pulling out immediately.

The 'lipo short cut to get you started' What a strange idea. Where exactly are you suggesting that they insert the cannula?

Re: English League 2 - Season 2014-15

Major league baseball has a good system. The major teams have 'farm clubs' playing in the minor leagues and players pass freely up and down. A top player recovering from injury or lacking in game time goes to the farm for a couple of weeks. Great for the minnows as they occasionally get a real star ...

Re: Pattaya to be cleaned up and become family destination?

Phuket did it well when I first went there 10+ years ago. There was a designated sleaze area, around soi bangla and no gogo, street pros allowed anywhere else. Pattaya talked about, no new sleaze areas a few years ago, but being determined and consistent is not a Thai characteristic. I'm amazed that...

Re: Liposuction

Let me say what it is good for. 2 friends who exercised with me, lost over 15k ( 30 lbs) each by a low carb diet/low beer consumption/daily exercise programme. They lost their beer bellies and had flat ones BUT the 'love handles' remained' they had those suctioned and now look great.. Interestingly,...

Re: Breakfasts from around the world.

There is a type of bacon that you can buy in the us that is very similar to British/danish bacon. It is called Canadian bacon, even in Canada it is called Canadian bacon, not just bacon.

BCCT event on Friday at the Sheraton

The British Chamber of commerce is having an open networking meeting at the Sheraton, but I have seen no promotion for it. The meetings inBKK and parts are well attended, but those places are full of British business men. The meetings are fun, but involve the exchange of a snow storm of business car...

Re: Eye lid plastic surgery

That op is NOT worth the money and risk(tiny risk) if you take a before photo and one 30 days after op you can see a tiny difference. Take another photo after another 90 days. There is zero difference. The op to remove bags beneath the eyes, on the other hand, is very effective, although in this cas...
