Did you have a beard on any normal years, or do you mean that you shaved every other year on even years?

Brit Caught with Cocaine Stash While Overstaying Visa on Samui
Is 1.8 gr a lot? Doesn't sound like a stash to me. A stash is usually a large amount and hidden somewhere, not in a pocket.

Bar Brawl in Pattaya Involves Foreign Man and Two Injured Women
Sounds like they did not all go out drinking together. Seems like he had gone drinking with his ex=wife.

Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
This was long time ago, so I may not remember all details correctly, but I thought that he allegedly kicked her in the back, not the stomach. Also, I don't remember any report that she was pregnant at the time.

Influencer ‘Uncle Tony’ Faces Legal Action After Controversial Content in Arab Attire
Since when has that style of clothing been Islamic? Are Arabs wearing suits insulting to western Christian culture because some Christians wear suits? I see many in the west wearing western clothing promoting Islamic ideals. It doesn't occur to me to be offended by what they wear although I may not agree with their religion.

After Asylum: A Glimpse Inside the Hidden Realities of the UK Refugee Hotel System
I guess that a lot of 'refugees' have been granted asylum and absorbed into the system and are still getting free housing and money etc. As they are no longer 'refugees', I expect that the ongoing costs are not included in those totals.

I cannot easily think of anything less sportsmanlike than a man identifying as a woman to have an extremely unfair advantage to compete with real women!

60 Minutes: Freed Israeli Hostages Recount Harrowing Ordeal in Hamas Captivity
I completely agree with you. When the surrounding Arab countries attacked the Jews in 1948, Jordan took control of the West Bank and Egypt took Gaza. At no time did Jordan or Egypt consider handing control of these 2 areas to enable the Palestinians to declare their own state. Strange that there were no protests about Jordan occupying the West Bank and Egypt occupying Gaza! No marches calling to 'Free Palestine'! Mind you, perhaps they knew of the problems that would cause. Look how it turned out after Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005.

Israeli Man Arrested at Phuket Airport for Sexual Assault of Finnish Teen in Koh Samui
As usual, the majority of people here see no need for a trial as he is obviously guilty as charged.

Gaza: Hamas releases statement labelling the demonstrators “collaborators” and “traitors”
That sounds about right for something that Hamas would do - hoping for a response from Israel that will kill the protestors! Then Hamas can blame Israel. Hamas are the traitors, the have betrayed their fellow Gazans when they launched their attack on Israel knowing that there was no way that they could win. They were just interested in the propoganda war that they stage by deliberately putting civilians in the firing line and playing the victim.

90 day report online rejected again
When the new system started, I tried and was surprised at how well it worked. After some successful reports it just kept rejecting my applications without giving any reason. I had not left the country or changed my address at all.

Need Stent Operation - Bangkok Hospital Pattaya or Navy Hospital in Sattahip?
That is more than double what I paid at Queen Sirikit Hospital, Khon Kaen in 2023. That also Included angioplasty and stents. I think that it may be worth your while to get a quote from Queen Sirikit Hospital, Sattahip.

Need Stent Operation - Bangkok Hospital Pattaya or Navy Hospital in Sattahip?
Yes it does, the cost of my 2 stents were 40K each, the catheters and everything else were itemised and charged in addition.
