cool so we all got a green light to go run amok in thailand .thank smole
She did spend 4 days in jail; has been away from her young daughters for weeks, and has no doubt been terrified throughout the whole ordeal.
Yes, now she can come home an aussie blue hero, go on today tonight and all the other shows and get paid $10K. I can't wait to see her face plastered on every newspaper, magazine and tv screen.
Oh, and can't wait for her mega book deal and tour to come out also.
But that wont stop the media banging on, just like they are with swine flu.
Thailand is not a muslim country. The predominant religion is Buddhism.Be interesting to see her attitude when back on home soil and away from a 'muslim' country.
cheers,
The irony may have been lost on you Julia.Thailand is not a muslim country. The predominant religion is Buddhism.
You need a PM from me? Apparently you didn't wait for this. Instead you send me a very rude and unpleasant message suggesting I should not ever contact you on the basis that my above remark about Thailand not being muslim represented my condoning Mr Burns' xenophobia.The irony may have been lost on you Julia.
The redneck claims of the Thai nation being Muslim earlier in the piece was my referal to ignorance. It may well have been deleted along with the other xenophobic slander.
I think I need a pm from you.

I'd have thought the opposite. Why else would I have taken the trouble to make the correction of a member called Stan 101 about whom I knew nothing who had apparently considered Thailand to be muslim.
Yes, I vaguely noted the quotes around 'muslim' but - given the high incidence of inappropriate punctuation on this forum - took no notice.
And previously I had equally vaguely observed that Stan 101's avatar was the same as Sanquar's, and likewise thought no more about it. Didn't notice that Stan's said "formerly known as Sanquar". If you are going to change your nic, why not change the image as well so you don't confuse people?
For that matter, why change anything?
So, somehow, for my lack of attention to detail and failure to observe the irony intended I'm judged to be condoning xenophobia. The logic escapes me.
The rudeness of the PM, however, does not.
The sooner this badly behaved western tourist lapses into obscurity the better for us all.
If we never hear again about this "mother of four" and her "harmless pranks" the world will be a better place.
Regrettably, I am soon likely to be assaulted by front page magazine pics of her with grinning offspring at my supermarket checkout, but only for one issue I expect, then it will be back to Brittany and Paris wallpaper.
Roll on next fortnight *sigh*
