Takki Shinegra AKA Thaksin

OT was reading the Daily Monitor here in Kamplala in the pub lunchtime, and came across a story headlined " MP's query how Thai leader got passport". According to the report it says Thaksin Shinawatra changed his name to Takki Shinegra and got himself a diplomatic passport. Interestingly enough it turns out he owns Go-lotto, a lottery firm which turned up here last year and is the first and is doing very well indeed.
The story will probably come up on the rags website tomorrow, if so I'll give the link.

OT...top reporting as usual....

takki shinegra just so happens to be a anagram of the "great shinakki" that famous old japanese escapoligist. Mmm!

Never realised that bilko, not surprising as OT had a skinful lunchtime. I wonder if Takki knew ?

OT..........

Its a frightening coincidence i too had been enjoying a tipple when i spotted it. Takki has used this label in uganda, as you are aware , nicuaragua and montinegro. You have to hand it to this guy, he has some cheek. as well as dosh.
