    Yes. He is the Delphic Oracle of the board and we are indeed fortunate he graces us with his wisdom. And so often too.

    Quite so. However since Scotland has already been mentioned I thought I would remind members that the Duchess of Rothesay will be attending harvest festival celebrations in that small country on Friday rather than having a knees up at the nuptials of Prince Andrew’s daughter. I expect a full report on her activities from Scottish-guy

    "The bureau announced on its website on Monday that there were 1.6 million foreigners living in Thailand between January and August.
    Canadians were the biggest group – 9,872 migrants – followed by 9,583 Dutch people, 9,566 Bangladeshis and 9,483 Italians"

    I cut and pasted the above from the Nation article frequent posted the link to.
    The numbers do not make sense. 1.6 million foreigners living in Thailand - with Canadians the biggest group at 9,872.
    There are 195 countries in the world and if say 100 countries have large populations of people living in Thailand and using the largest reported group - Canadians at 9872 - 100 * 9872 = 987,200 migrants NOT the 1.6 million reported earlier in the article.
    I suspect the article is reporting two different statistics.
    There are probably many 10s of thousands of Cambodian and Myanmarians (Burmese) living in LOS. They are probably the largest number of foreigners living in the LOS. The article also reports 10 million tourists to the LOS - January to August 8 months. The tourist numbers I have seen is somewhere around 3 million a month or a bit less then 24 million tourists Jan-Aug if you use the average.
    The numbers in the article are off.
    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and they all stink.

    But doesn't this belong in "Everything Else" rather than "Gay Thailand"?
    Excellent catch! True Mod material! Hopefully Standartenfuhrer takes notice, werner, and your mod application is fast tracked!

    I thought it useful to remind scotty that even given Ms Sturgeon's aim of separating Scotland, the Duchess will still be Queen of Scotland one day. I also find you can never mention Prince Andrew enough for people like a447 and arsenal. Two for the price of one, do you see

    Equilateral? I'm reminded of that Native American geometrical proof "The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides" although purists will argue that the hippopotamus is not native to the Americas. It pays not to over-think these things
