Day 2 of the coup nice and easy

Day to unfolds and the coup is held in a cloud of roamers and speculations. Thaksins money have been sized, Thaksin did the coup, Thaksin is in London or Thaksin is flying to London, some one that can not be named is behind the coup, The revered King has approved the coup, The King has not approved the coup and many more strange roamers i do not even want to tell you because i probably be arrested.
All the key players in the coup Navy, Army, Air Force and Thaksins old buddy the Police made a statement that they will give over power to a neutral person in 2 weeks and election should be held October 2008. The the Administrative Reform Council (ARC) was kind enough to put the TV back on for the Thai people at 08.10 as well as UBC. BBC and CNN had to wait to around 11.00 mainly because i think they where looking for some one that could speak English and sit and press the “censure” button every time time Thaksin came on any new channel from abroad. So now every time Thaksins name is on BBC the poor chap has to click the “censure” button and then release it once the former PM is gone. Lucky for the Magazines they do not have to hide his head behind black cross overs. The ARC let the press free for now but is keeping a warning AK 47 to there heads.
The ARC also announced all banks and government offices closed for 1 day to summon them all up to a big meeting to brief them about the new situation. People took the opportunity to go and give food and flowers to the Soldiers and monks was seen blessing the tanks in the wee hours.
One of my friends had a coup of his own when his employees wanted to finished and go home because “everyone else was not working” they claimed civil war was about to come and mayhem on Bangkok streets was eminent and they needed to come home now. The small coup was crushed in a swift manners and the coup makers was sent to do toilet cleaning. To clarify the situation for my friend i took to the streets on a motorbike and i even if i drove for 30 min i could not see one singel solider or closed shop, just government and banks has there shutters down. Tomorrow suppose to be a normal day with normal traffic jams and no goverment business as usual lets see what is going to happen.
