Bloody hell. She must have hit that with some speed to move it that far....

The story of "Miss Poppy" dates back to 2001 when she won Cambodia's first transvestite beauty pageant:

Gender-benders take a bow

Nice to see how relaxed and happy this person is after driving around like a fucking lunatic endangering lives.

You obviously haven't frequented thailand's ladyboys bars enough.
This is usually referred as "attitude" and is quite unique to their kind.

Obviously not, and I certainly don't feel like I've missed out on anything. Anyway, driving around smashing into stuff is no smiling matter, whatever your gender. I'm glad to see nobody was hurt, but I'm always dismayed by the lack of seriousness given to stuff like this.


Even this. Like who the hell leans against their wreck on a busy road without any emergency cones/ barriers etc and starts playing fucking Facebook, or whatever dumb shit you do on a phone in the middle of a road.

emergency cones? What is that thing they call emergency cones?

i have thrown in 2 emergency lights for good measure as well

"emergency cones? What is that thing they call emergency cones?"

We barang usually call them tree branches.

That's because she secretly thinks she will successfully sue the road divider for maximum compensation.$$$
