How the Foreign Ministry handles things delicately

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 2229 , 00:11:39

If you know anyone who works at the Foreign Ministry, the reason they were smiling last Thursday wasn't because the new boss, Noppadon Patama, is such an excellent choice to conduct Thailand's international relations, but because Noppadon had killed a rumour about his advisory staff. The gossip had former pop singer Arisman Pongruangrong, who's now a politician in his own right, being named as the....

Staying connected in the afterlife

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 1822 , 19:31:49

Being dead is no excuse for being a moron when it comes to the latest hitech gadgets. That’s why, during Chinese New Year celebrations these days, a lot of trendy electronics are incinerated as offerings to the ancestors along with the traditional tea and paper cash and clothing.We live in an age when no selfrespecting dead person is going to be content with a pot of tea and some spending money.

Makeup stories you cant make up

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 2581 , 17:09:26

Have you ever wondered why you hardly receive free sample of cosmetic and skincare products when you go to counters at leading malls? Regular customers who receive letters that invite them to go and get free samples while “stock lasts” would often be disappointed as they arrive there far too late and the samples have been finished. A source from leading cosmetic firm told soopsip that there are unscr....

Gossip Factory of 2007....That’s not gossip, that’s just crazy

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 4594 , 21:44:35

While the election officials were busy peering at ballots to see if anyone had left any funny messages, Soopsip was busy sifting through a year of our published screed looking for someone to nominate as Gossip Factory of 2007. Time has its Person of the Year and AskMen.com has its Studliest Stud sweepstakes, so Soopsip felt obliged to honour those who generate the sleaziest, cheekiest and funniest ne....

sufficient guide to mobile phone

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 2888 , 01:43:39

Sufficient enough reason to be cheap ... Mobile phones whose prices top Bt15,000 are basically sitting there waiting for an unusually rich shopper to come along, but Soopsip knows of at least two wealthy people who are just going to keep them waiting. RS Public Ltd president Kriengkrai Chetchotisak has been proudly using the same Nokia 660I for almost 10 years. He paid about Bt3,000; anyone wanting t....

The Nation’ works out a bug in its editorials

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 2409 , 20:24:57

Yours truly the Nation Multimedia Group hosted a 36th anniversary party for itself (no one else would) at Siam Paragon on Friday. It was great fun, but every party has its evil attendee. Stephff, who spells his name funny, can’t remember his other name, and is our editorial cartoonist (as well as being personal cartoonist to exUN chief Kofi Anan), showed up with intent to cause trouble.He brought alo....

Arsenal gives Thierry one last (loving) frisk

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 3410 , 19:18:43

What kid hasn’t booted a ball between the goalposts and immediately sensed that special allure of the sport – money?There’s a lot of thrills and emotion involved in football, but you always seem to end up taking about cash. Arsenal may have lost its captain and star player, Thierry Henry, but the club is still raking in the dough from its connection to him, even as Henry ships out to Barcelona.The cl....

Some Brits do care about honesty

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 1772 , 00:40:46

The conventional British news media may have fumbled the ball badly in their coverage of Thaksin Shinawatra’s takeover of Manchester City, but at least the online Guardian has a guy with a blog about football who knows a foul when he sees one.David Conn must have shamed at least a few professional reporters by doing a better job on the story. While almost everyon....

Saying anything you want about Sittichai - online

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 1973 , 21:47:41

As the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand billed him at its meet-and-greet last week, Sittichai Pokaiyaudom is "The Man Who Banned YouTube". The minister in charge of ICT (Irreverent Coverage of Thailand) once complained about being the least-recognised member of the Cabinet, but of course that's all changed now. He is world-famous for stopping popular video-sharing website YouTube fro....

Tim Henman and other brief appearance at Wimbledon

Posted by soopsip , Reader : 3764 , 00:38:36

The women of Wimbledon may have to wear white according to the tournament rules, but plenty of colours are managing a “briefs” appearance.“These days there is a virtual fashion parade of pants at Wimbledon,” Britain’s Daily Mail reports with embarrassing eagerness. “Thanks to ever-more daring hemlines and perhaps a desire to push the white-only rule to its limit, women players are showing off a rainb....
