Re: The fucking cunts at Thaivisa.....

I can put up with any amount of ads what I can't put up with is the gross and blatant bias shown by the American moderators regarding any negative comments about USA but even worse about Israel. In their eyes anything negative about Israel even if it's the truth is anti-Semitic. That's how these peo...

Re: More changes in SNV

Driving around the golden lions tonight- they have pulled down a whole lot of street signs, including some of the really big ones. Rumour has it this was paid for by a group of Chinese casinos, since the signage was bad luck. Also, Lucky Ocean supermarket and the Russian furniture shop above it are...
