    As long as i get my Tablet (which by the way i swear I heard them say Ipad before) I am happy.
    Can't wait to download the latest games. Did you hear you can play online games too? awesome!
    Education?? youtube counts as education too, right??

    When I grow up, I want a job just like Jatuporn. Just protest and getting paid for it. How else is he able to survive protesting for 2 years straight. Easy peasy, as a teen i am quite qualified to be rebel in society.

    @ricefield. 'The EC is looking for a technicality which is not good practice for a group that is supposed to be independent.'

    See the vids : The man is a hate filled, lying, violence inciting thug. What technicality is that ?

    Jatiporn was a list MP in the last house and as such his qualifications are in fact fine. The EC is looking for a technicality which is not good practice for a group that is supposed to be independent.

    "She also said that her cabinet line-up was still not complete. It would have to wait until she was confirmed as prime minister."

    "T" is waiting for Jatuporn to give him a profitable cabinet position.

    Who are Mr Natthawut & Weng to decide whether Jatuporn is qualified? The conduct of Jatuporn is well known within Thailand. If both of you have qualified then there is no room for two of you to comment whether who is qualified or not. There is an EC (if they are really legally qualified) to decide on this. Next, the UDD. Are they trying ti intimidate the EC by taking up legal action if Jatuporn is not qualified? Is this how the EC is being operated? End of the day, apart from the mess they have created at national level, the UDD is nothing but thugs. Enough said!

    She means until Thaksin tells her who he wants in what position.
