Good lord, latin, and I had you pegged as the Arthur Daley of this board! The "full SP" is a slang term meaning the complete story - since there is no more accurate estimate of a horse's odds to win a race than its starting price.Quote:

Our dearly beloved ex-General is a millionaire (in dollars) on a General's salary of $43,000, gee I wonder how that happened?

They've only just finished a three-year stint. These things are usually decided on the basis of Buggins' Turn.Quote:

Mind you economic activity has, by all accounts, slowed since the General and his boys brought happiness to Thailand. Perhaps fewer Ferraris are being bought.
The leader of the the "Good Peoples" cabinet claims he can justify his treasure, can the others and his brother?

I get your drift, but you wouldn't believe how leaky Siriraj is. Whenever something newsworthy happens there, I read about it on Line hours before it hits the regular news channels. Don't forget how many ordinary people work there and live nearby. As for Nuke Korea's Fat Boy, I'm certainly glad he's back. Next time he should come to Bangkok for treatment to promote Thailand as a medical hub. If you happen to be here at the same time, you could even treat him to your hallmark "cock-down-the-throat" program to keep the peace.Quote:
