Feeling cold is subjective. A/C less than 26C in Thailand and I feel uncomfortably cold. A native of Scotland would consider 26C to be a pensioner-killing heatwave.

For the same reason they don't wear crash helmets on motorcycles - their conviction that they are superior and infallible in every respect, and physics is a social construction.

I'd bet dollars to donuts the "new" husband was the "old" boyfriend.

Try and explain to a Thai girl that the odds of winning the two number draw is 1/100, or three numbers 1/1,000. Taught a girl to play blackjack once. No comprehension whatsoever of odds v randomness - would frequently hit on 18.

Luckily we have GoGo bars in Pattaya to do the laundering, instead of Turkish barber shops.

The machine in my building has a sticky label saying when the filter was last changed. It's regularly updated and always displays a fairly recent date. Of course, the date may just be a change of label, not necessarily a change of filters. I don't use it anyway, got my own 4-cartridge filter system under the sink - and the water from it is just glorious.

Free Tommy Robinson.

Obscure benefits of trade tariffs. Tariffs incentivise exporting countries to improve internal productivity to potentially offset the tariff. Side effect is that their economy improves, and their currency becomes stronger and has greater international buying power. Presents an opportunity for an exporting country to find new trade with other countries also impacted, cutting the USA out of the equation and leaving them more isolationalist to make their own stuff internally. Prices of USA exported goods will increase in cost due to the inflated cost of imported components, thus creating new trade opportunities on price differential. Trump is doing what he believes is best for the USA, but the world should see this as an opportunity, not a problem. There will be some grief while it all settles down, but by and large, this is a wake up and smell the coffee moment for the entire world.

That transition from cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias into a world where reality is a "thing" is a bit of a beach. Just ask Bill Maher.

Only a matter of time before the pair of them file lawsuits against Nasa and Boeing. It's the American way.

I frequently attempt to watch recently made movies, say made since about 2016. Invariably I switch them off after 5 minutes to prevent myself from involuntarily puking in my beer. Then I watch The Matrix 1 thru 3. I did once force myself to watch Resurrections, but had to distract myself with self-abuse to make it watchable. The Wachowski Sisters are no match for the Wachowski Brothers.....oh wait!

The racists and misandrists don't really know what they want. Equity will be achieved only when the work related accidental death rates are 50/50 male/female and ethnically represent demographics - and that ain't gonna happen any time soon. Feel free to google misandry and misandrist for clarification - it really is a word.

Hillary is looking more like Rosie O'Donnell every day.

At least Bill Maher had the dignity to gradually awaken to his misguided world view over a number of years, and is semi-believable, at least for a lefty. Does anybody really think Gavin Newsom has instantaneously red-pilled, or this is just a ploy in his bid for a presidential run.? I think the latter.

judging by the shirt,t hey should also fine him for a crime against fashion. Bet he also wore sandals and socks.

The entire western world is doomed, not just America. Caucasians sealed the deal a decade ago by failing to procreate at the rate of 2.1 or greater. Imagine a world where every new-born baby is front page news. That's what 2050 will look like.

A Fortuner makes a pleasant change. Usually it's "Hilux truck crashes into ditch - 3 killed, 21 injured".

I wonder how high the bidding went to get appointed to the committee.

Waiting with bated breath for the sudden disappearance of illegally constructed restaurants, and the construction of a plethora of fire stations, or even sub-stations. What even is a fire sub-station - probably a bamboo shack housing a bloke with his sidecar, and a passed its use by date 3kg fire extinguisher?

I'll add to the intrigue. Discover the nefarious addition of Goldberg in the app, deliver the truth bomb using Goldberg as the useful idiot, and then claim criminal interference for the release of the information. Smoke and mirrors - works for me, especially as nobody has been made to fall on their sword over it.

It seems odd to me that what was "leaked" is a mature adult conversation that raises some serious foreign policy questions, is extremely strategical in nature, shows a distinct lack of simply agreeing with the boss, in fact shows a demonstrated willingness to challenge the agenda. If you wanted to send a clear and decisive message to the Europeans about what the inner thoughts of the US cabinet really are towards their allies, while showing the voters that you have their back both from a military and geo-political perspective, well....if I was a strategist I would have recommended this method. An age-old negotiation trick is to surreptitiously drop a truth bomb into your opponent's lap while smiling pleasantly to their face and raising your pinky while enjoying tea and crumpets with them. Maybe Trump read Clavell's Shogun and is doing a Toranaga style palace intrigue on them all.

I'm with you - those eggs were murdered.

The chef cook probably ran out of baked beans and simply assumed anything small, round and from the genus legume was an appropriate substitute. Colour no object. On the other hand, he may have been colorblind.

I would have gone with "cat burglar". Who remember back in the day, it was a common euphemism to describe somebody as having a face like a burglar. "...you must remember Jock, worked at the distillery, got a face like a burglar..."

Nuh, Maxine looks and acts like everybody's ex mother-in-law.
