Brazil arrested a suspected Mexican drug trafficker on his way to watch his national soccer team play in the World Cup. Jose Diaz-Barajas, 49, bought a ticket under his name.

I liked vividity of pics of real Mexican drug baron El Chino Antrax, which he posted both on Instagram and Twitter - with Paris Hilton, low profile tyres on sport vehicles etc.

Instagram account probably has been suspended, but Twitter commandante57_ is still available. Since he was arrested after NY, after it, unfortunatley, no new pics have been published.

@Sue:
Recently we have been given a good insight into how pretentious you can be about your own cleverness in writing about almost any subject, some of it utter nonsense. I have never heard anybody speak Dutch with an Oxford accent, I'm more familiar with the Double Dutch that you speak. Perhaps in future you can adapt your diatribes to short phrases that readers can understand. The alternative, in my view, would be a red card after a two blue flag caution.

@Pete

If you consider some argument as being not correct, then you better come forward with your counter-argument, but not with a wholesale negation of "all is utter non-sense".

If your mother tongue is English, it doesn't give you a right to employ Anglo-Saxon "linguistic nazism".
Let you first try to learn Mandarin and then we will analyse your grammar, style and use of idioms.

It is a casual discussion, so I don't manual spell checking for the text typed - and rely completely on automatic spellchecking, mostly managed by Cook-Jobs. Unfortunately automatic spellchecking regularly adjusts typos to utter non-sense.
But, as I said, it is a casual discussion, typos are accepted in this situation, and almost everyone makes here at least a one typo per post.
It should not be considered as a lack of respect to readers.

When I draft official text in English, I do manual spell checking and adjustment of style, then in most cases the resulting texts are indistinguishable from those written by native speakers.

And it seems that you confound me with someone else, as I commented only on three topics during last two weeks:

1) "Shrimp Report" by the Guardian
2) Beach management system
3) Worn tyres as crash contributing factor in Thailand
(and in addition the post above),
as other topics, which form major content of this media were either not interesting fir me to comment or I didn't have substantial input on them.
You better know whom you mixed me up with in your imagination.

And overall, such ad hominem posts as by you above, which are just on procedure , but not on substance, is not very good style.

@Sue: It's not often you're right, but you're wrong again. The Anglo-Saxons were neither English nor British, they were Germanic tribes. Perhaps that's where your "linguistic nazism", whatever it is, fits your bill. I don't argue, I just criticise, constructively I hope. The rest of your post is trash and again brings to the fore your emphasis on your own cleverness. I've red carded you now, so won't respond further other than saying your research would show that Hertz Van Rental was a Dutch painter.

@Pete

Since you seemingly are well educated in history and arts, you should have know that "Anglo-Saxon"term has been used by UK to justify racism and imperialism, claiming that the "Anglo-Saxon" ancestry of the English made them racially superior to the colonised peoples. And similar in US two centuries ago.
That is when "Anglo-Saxon" is used talking about racism or similar topics - exactly as I have used it for your flashing of superiority of your English to mine, giving that English is lingua franca.

Your critics is not constructive, bordering on racism and is pure ad hominem, and no trace of substance.

Have a nice day! Bye

Pete, I don't always agree with Sue, but I accept she has a right to comment, you have a right, like all of us do, not to read what she posts.

Pete, you should read what anglo-saxon means...http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxons

Posted by Laurie Howells on June 18, 2014 14:23

@Laurie Howells:
I gave a very brief description of who the Anglo Saxons were: that is all. The site you refer me to also describes who they were and their origins. Nowhere does it say what anglo-saxon means, so I don't understand what you are questioning. Then again I don't suppose you do either! Where and when did I say that Sue had no right to comment? I simply said I would no longer respond to her utterings. As you don't seem to be able to understand what you are trying to say, I'll do the same with you.

Posted by Pete on June 18, 2014 14:50

Pete, oh dear, was it so hard to understand that anglo-saxon means those from germanic origin but settled in Britain, one does not need to be a brainiac to understand the meaning.

There was nothing in my comment that accused you of saying Sue had no right to comment, I was simply pointing out the you both have rights, your right is not to read her posts. I truly hope this helps to clear up your miss-understanding.

Posted by Laurie Howells on June 18, 2014 15:06

I'm sorry but I don't know who you refer to as Miss Understanding!

I don't address this post to @Pete , as I am not sure whether he/she will read it.
As the above referred by Laurie Howell the entry in Wikipedia exactly explain that meaning of "Amglo-Saxon" as I've used above, so I assume Pete could have today a migraine, and associated with it tunnel vision, that prevented him/her from reading appropriate part of the Wiki entry, but I don't blame him/her for such omission.

Under last title "Contemporary meanings" of Wikipedia entry in second paragraph 3rd, 4th sentence says the following, I will cite it to resolve confusion, that is present here whether nowadays "Anglo-Saxon" has any other meaning except as naming a tribe:

"In Victorian Britain, some writers such as Robert Knox, James Anthony Froude, Charles Kingsley[229] and Edward A. Freeman[230] used the term "Anglo-Saxon" to justify racism and imperialism, claiming that the "Anglo-Saxon" ancestry of the English made them racially superior to the colonised peoples. Similar racist ideas were advocated in the 19th-century United States by Samuel George Morton and George Fitzhugh."
