Wild Boars on Ellen Show

I am missing something....wild boars?

You are. Scotty is dead right it is the name of the boys team who were trapped in the Thailand cave. Did you miss that too?!

[Captain Swing]

I can only speak to what's written by you and me but I can't sneeringly speak of and generalise on behalf of 69 million Thai people as you just did.

Get Well Soon

I am sure that I did. For whatever the reason, about five minutes after I turn on my laptop, I get no sound. Everything else works fine, so I put up with it. I will take any suggestions to solve the problem.

BTW: Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, passed away today at 65.

I watched the video and smiled the entire time. They are a group of kids having a great time being in the spotlight for a few minutes.
They went through a dramatic event together.
I don't think they are heroes - just a bunch of kids who banded together during a tough and potentially fatal event and survived with the help and efforts of many many people.
Many people around the world want want to share in their feel good story.
The boys looked looked like they were enjoying the experience.

Yes, you did miss something.

Have you tried turning up volume? There is a little volume icon in the right bottom corner, click on it

Interesting (ie highly sarcastic) Letter to the Editor in the Post today about the relative merits of paper plane design versus cave squatting for the remaining stateless persons in Thailand

Roger Crutchley in his Oct 14 column reminds us that awards for flying paper planes is a route to citizenship for stateless persons. But we are also reminded that it is a slow track to citizenship -- nine long years.

Getting stuck in a cave is still by far the fastest -- just a short few months! And, in fact, the four Wild Boars who were fast-tracked probably gave rise to the bronze medal paper plane flyer being ushered through to success. Of the remaining hundreds of thousands many are sure to head to Chiang Rai next wet season, rather than taking up paper plane flying.

Ah Roger Crutchley! My god his column has been going a long time, and that's not a euphemism. I think he had a regular and entertaining column in the Bangkok Post in the 70's, or this his son?
