Gather round, I will tell you of the prophecy! (Admittedly, a much better looking prophecy than I originally saw in the tea)

The coincidence with the Thailand Ms Universe pageant aside, the ‘Blue-shirts’ are for real and was founded by Mr.Newin, who also initiated the ‘Red-shirts’ when he served as PMThaksin’s field-marshal.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
