So basically, if the nationality of an alleged law breaker is not given, then he/she must be Chinese, right?

So, he was an alcoholic vegetarian on his uppers.

It sounded like the kind of haul Mao might have.

Maybe that's why he's been working on his running.

Have drank alcohol twice in the last 6 months, but that bottle of blue label does look nice.

Might ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ buy one for, I dunno, Christmas and New Year.

That second bottle is Hendrick's gin, not scotch.

With Songkran apparently lasting three weeks this year I might need extra supplies.

So he nicked Bt10,000 of swag and Bt9,999 of it was whisky. Why did he bother with the other stuff, the silly sod.

Most likely because he's pulled the same stunt several times before without a problem.
