Thomas McCauley- arrested on drug charges


Recommended Posts

People from Norn Iron can apply for a British or Irish Passport. He may have been travelling on an Irish Passport.

 

Hi growler

 

I hope I`m not too much off topic but I have both British & Irish passports (cos I can!).

Are there any pros & cons regarding which to use?

 

cheers :bigsmile:

Why doesn't the Op do what most western journos do regarding Thailand. Get off your arse, fly to Bangkok. This has to be via Hong Kong so you can get pissed with a few mates at the Foreign Correspondents Club. Stay at a 5 star hotel in Bkk and get pissed with a few expat journos. Get a limo down to Pattaya and stay at the Royal Cliff, or similar. Play a few rounds of golf. Go to Walking Street and take photos of pissed up Chavs and Neds misbehaving. Ask them if they have heard of drugs in Thailand. Interview a few overweight middleaged battleaxes from the UK on beach road and ask them what they like about Pattaya. Only quote the ones who hate the "Dirty old men with underaged prostitutes etc" (conveniently ignore the fact that the husband is now in Soi 6 getting a short time because his wife is now fat and doesn't root).

Go to Big Buddha and take photos to show your old Mum and your wife.

Go to Pattayaland, pick up a ladyboy and take him to a ST room.

Get totally maggotted on the flight home.

Go home, search the net, and write a piece about Thailand.

Make sure it targets midde aged men exploiting hookers, drunken louts, corrupt police and say it is spoiling it for families. Mention golden triangle at every opportunity. Put something in about Gary Glitter. Put some bullshit in about the drug trade but say the expats living there have clammed up (mainly because you didn't ask them).

Write your article and submit with your expenses.

 

If you want this forum to grass up on the basis of one post get a reality check.

 

 

Fuck yeah! We'lldo this together, Bobby. PM me for my rates! :lsmile

The guy is a knob. As a farang drug dealer you only do business with farangs.

 

mmm, don't think so. You do a drug business in Thailand, you get permission. Either that or you stick to selling three tabs to your friends in the disco washroom a night or taking a chance with the 200 grammes of smack back to Australia.

there was a programme on BBC Northern Ireland tonight by this guy. basically he and the sister of the guy in jail went to pattaya. they visited him in jail and did a bit of investigating about his arrest. basically trying to cast doubt on his guilt.

 

it's available on BBC iplayer. programme is called spotlight.

The guy is already spilling the beans as TC was stitched up a couple of days ago.He escaped under a hail of bullets and in hiding.Dont envy him when he gets caught,but the good news is another drug seller off the streets.

 

MORE TO COME

Wrong. The farang connection in Pattays is huge which should not be surprised considering the amount of thugs out there. Farangs deal with farangs its a simple as that Joe

Hard to argue with a well-sourced argument like that, pointing out as you did so well that farangs don't need Thais to buy heroin to send out, or to get through customs with the cocaine and E brought in.

 

If you think farangs are really big and independent movers in the drug business in Thailand, you may be interested in a couple of bars I have for sale. They do great business, really, you can take my word for it.

 

Briefly: Farang drug dealers can be big, and farang drug dealers can be independent of the local folks. But they can't be both.

The article also says this bozo is from the Republic of Ireland. Perhaps the BBC would like to enlighten the Thai Police because last time I checked Belfast was in Northern Ireland.

 

And if you want to speak to people who know him I suggest you talk to students, bar girls and his other customers.

 

This is a common occurence with the BBC.

 

When someone from Northern Ireland does something bad, they always refer to them as Irish.

 

When someone from Northern Ireland does something good, they always refer to them as British.

If you're talking about Andy Murray, to me he will be nothing else but a Scot. He is the tennis worlds Gordon Brown. :unsure:

One of the funniest interviews i seen was with Kate Thornton & Samuel Jackson. The video doesn't seem to be available anywhere, but i did see it in TV at the time.

 

 

 

"In a British program about Samuel L Jackson and Colin Farrell’s lastest movie SWAT presented by British presenter, Kate Thornton, the following exchange occured:

 

Thornton: What was it like working with Colin (Farrell), cos he is just so hot in the U.K. right now?

 

Jackson: He’s pretty hot in the U.S. too.

 

Thornton: Yeah, but he is one of our own.

 

Jackson: Isn’t he from Ireland?

 

Thornton: Yeah, but we can claim him cos Ireland is beside us.

 

Jackson: You see that’s your problem right there. You British keep claiming people that don’t belong to you. We had that problem here in America too, it was called slavery."

I love that question 'so what was it like working with X'

 

So braindead and so unoriginal and it's also going to get the same pat reply 'oh, he/she is great, so much fun and such a professional etc'

 

Watch one of these dreadful interviews and you've watched 1001.

I wasnt talkng about Andy Murray. I have no idea of anything hes won. I was referring to years and years of choosing when to call people English ( when they have done something good) or when theyve done something bad, they revert to their actual nationality. Even Samuel L Jackson has noticed it :D

 

What about Lennox Lewis. He is Jamaican. Then he must have boxed or lived in Canada. And now hes British as he was a top boxer :bigsmile: If he ever commits a serious crime, he will revert to Jamaican in the English medias eyes :D

My workmate at Air Canada did a lost baggage report for him years ago. When it came to filling out the Customs declaration form, he couldn't resist asking Lennox his nationality. :D

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the sentence for people that are found guilty of dealing drugs in Thailand the death sentence? If they are already nailing this guy for dealing, how much of a reduced sentence can they really give him?

I'm one of the last people to call someone who isn't English-English. If they won the highest accolade in the world of sport or discovered the cure for cancer. The term British, has lost any meaning it once had. A Ugandan politician said recently- " Anyone can be British- only a Ugandan can be Ugandan."

 

The 'British' woman caught drug smuggling in Laos, has managed to get herself pregnant while in custody. This means she escapes the death penalty. Being a British passport holder, also means our Embassy have spoken in support of her. A human rights lawyer is arranging for her to be deported to the UK to serve her time here, where she will get as much help and support for her and her baby as we can give her- she's a drug smuggler FFS. :allright

 

My son and his GF work their arses off and get f##k all help from anyone.

 

The local London news last night could have been a Party political broadcast for thr BNP. An illegal immigrant and his two wives, arrested in Southall for running a bogus immigration service, letting over a thousand Indians into the UK with forged visas..... The top ranking muslim police officer in the Met' in court for making false claims about an arrest...........

 

Off to the polls today. Now, who shall I vote for ? :rolleyes:

The police can do what they want,most times its a half sentence for giving info that leads to the arrest of the other farang drug sellers/users in Pattaya.The first was Troy Curtis(aka TC),which must have been someone spilling the beans.
