Maybe it should have this added at the end...

Prepared to work in a cramped non airconditioned enviroment for long periods.

Funny How some folks think!

A report in today's Bangkok post with regard to a rally in Bangkok got my attention. PTV, private TV, sprang into action and erected a stage in Sanum Luang at the site of Traditional Thai Sports Festival , which had to be canceled due to their actions.
However things got a bit unruly and apparently bottles were thrown at the police, and the PTV executives asked the demonstrators not to attack the police as they said it might be used as an excuse to break up the protest.
personally i think it would be good cause, not just an excuse!
Since the rally organised by PTV ( set up by a group of former Thai Rak Thai executives) and they were handing out literature with Mr Thaksins image on, i think they were very lucky not to be arrested for holding a political rally, but i think the police were sensible not to make them into martyrs

Bangkok Post Breaking News

Now this is funny
I think this Girls family must have been avid James Bond fans as i seem to recall a Chinese character he managed to bed with the same name Chew Me! Now it appears a former Taiwanese politician turned accidental porn star with the same name ( different spelling) has been hired as a news anchor! To read more click the link

Bangkok Post : General news

Now this is what i like to see.
Bangkok post today, every one keeps screaming for results and things to move forward, but this i think shows things are. Slowly but surely and properly investigated which takes time, but far better than being reactionary and just looking for scape goats they want to get at the truth, a practise that can hopefully stay in the past

GOB SMACKED

I cannot believe the insensitivity of some people.
Today's Daily Mail reports of an attack at British Airways over a passenger who died in flight and her family been moved to First Class to have some privacy as economy was full. Some jumped up Chief exec travelling on the same flight had the audacity to complain, he was worried she may have died from some airborne disease i.e bird flu, God you don't have to be dead to be carrying it and face it if she wasn't breathing how could she expel air to contaminate him. It's not like you get your own oxygen in First class, i know! Arghhhhhh people do annoy me sometimes.

How very true

Hot off the press! well email from Khun Harry.........

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."
So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well... Kiss your ass goodbye!

GOOD NEWS

After the devastating news about the pollution and dead fish in the Chao Phraya the government seems to have reacted swiftly and pro actively. The Agriculture Ministry will ask for 28 million baht to be set aside for compensation to those whom lost their lively hoods and meanwhile, permanent secretary for agriculture Banpot Hongthong yesterday released almost one million fish of various types into the Chao Phraya River at Ayutthaya's Wat Pananchoeng pier, where the oxygen level is considered acceptable to susstain aquatic life.
Mr Banpot has also instructed the fisheries department to release more fish and prawn stocks into the river totalling more than 10 times that lost through this disaster.
I think they are going in the right direction, a fast and effective result me thinks! AND FOR THE PEOPLE..................
