UK will not rejoin EU or enter customs union, Starmer’s Europe minister says

ASEAN NOW News · Sunday at 11:55 PM1 day

The UK will not rejoin the European Union or enter into a customs union with the bloc, the minister leading efforts to reset relations with Brussels has said. Nick Thomas-Symonds, the government’s European affairs minister, said there was “no appetite” in Britain to return to the debates that dominated politics after the Brexit referendum. Speaking ahead of a speech in Brussels, he said the government wanted to strengthen cooperation with the EU but ruled out arrangements that would bind the UK

I am not going to address anyone directly because I do not want anyone to feel like a jilted lily, but I have noticed something interesting about my own forum reading habits. For one, I read far more than I post. Often I do not even log in to scan through a few topics, and if someone averages about a dozen posts a day, I tend to skip right over anything they write. It did not start that way. At first I just noticed certain posters who write extremely long posts waffling on about their personal

Religion is no joking matter!

Don’t make fun of anybody’s religion… they might be right! The Nation of Islam worldview was dominated by an apocalyptic and prophetic vision which held that the African American, the "original" or "Asiatic" black man, fell into a state of social domination that began with slavery.'1 This situation was a direct result of the machinations of an evil black scientist, Yakub, who grafted white people, also known as "devils," from original black people a little more than 6,000 years ago.

Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · 4 hours ago4 hr

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta

McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?
McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · Friday at 10:31 PM3 days

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa

Price of sleeping tablets
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · 5 hours ago5 hr

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · yesterday at 03:42 AM1 day

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome
Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome

anotherfarangishere · 8 hours ago8 hr

Hi everyone, I have many cavities, and since I lost a tooth a year ago, I also need an implant. From what I’ve read, there is no issue obtaining a DTV as long as you have an official letter detailing the dental treatments to be carried out, especially when applying through the Thai embassy in Hanoi. I already have contacts at dental clinics in Bangkok, where I live, that are well aware of the visa issue — BIDC, Thantakit — but since these are real “gas factories,” I’m looking for alternatives
