It's buddhist monks that are performing the so-called exorcism in the OP.

re: housing: I guess the Financial Times and Lloyds Banking have crap reporters, maybe they need to hire the resident 440 expert, Northern Monkey. https://www.ft.com/content/ef830e2e-a6e6-11e4-8a71-00144feab7de Yes. Housing costs are rising. No one is denying that. Rising housing costs are what cre...

That was a brilliant burn of Vladimir by GM. Vlad is also talking nonsense about buying a house in the U.K. The average house price is around £260000 and most banks are now giving mortgages of 90-95% at historically low repayment levels. If people don't have the discipline to save as little as £1300...

Hard to think of a Thai/falang athlete and there are hundreds of thousands of those kids. Many are models and singers including that girl Vanessa Mae who plays the violin. She attempted to ski for Thailand but didn't qualify, she was no good. So the chance of a Khmer making it is doubtful. Most top...

A bad week for Trump has just got a lot worse. The Britain First retweets and taunting Theresa May will be put on the backburner with the news that Michael Flynn is pleading guilty and doing a deal with the authorities which is likely to include testifying against Trump, members of Trump's family an...

Good point by it’s a bit more nuanced than that. There are Trump supporters and there’s are Trump voters. They are not necessarily the same thing. A lot of middle and upper middle class voters who likely skew these average income stats will be traditional GOP voters who will have voted for Trump whi...

I’d like to see a source for that that hasn’t started life as a Facebook meme. I suspect you can’t provide it.

Hate it when I agree with Edwardo. Latest Veritas stunt by them to nail Republicans backfired horribly, funny. If you follow the story properly you will see it wasn't a stunt to nail the Republicans. It was a stunt by Veritas to nail the Washington Post and attempt to show that they will publish an...

Classy. It takes a special sort of person to still be throwing around slurs related to disabilities. Most people grew out of calling people 'Thalids' or 'Flids' as an insult while at school in the 1970s.

One day a western run restaurant in Phnom Penh will produce an ad that isn't littered with basic spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and - my personal favourite - completely Random use of upper Case letters.

Lonestar has lost its way. One day it's doing 'Thank's Giving' dinners. The next it's promoting showing the Bledisloe Cup matches. What is it: a texan bar or an aussie bar? Could they make up their mind please?

What does any of this have to do with Cambodia?

How many NGOs are there in the UK and what percentage of the workforce work for them? Now compare those figures with Cambodia. I don't think anyone denies that some NGOs do good work, the problem is that there are way too many of them and in most cases, they're taking away responsibility from the g...
