Credit where credit is due - describing an overturned car as "having a dented roof".  Somehow I suspect the insurance company might have a different way of looking at it.

The sad news is that even when you get paroled there's virtually nothing to do anyway.  The joint is a ghost town.

Learn the Michael Jackson moonwalk .  They won't know if you're coming or going.

Or....wear a suit.  Thais never ask anybody wearing a suit what they're up to. Wearing a suit gives you superhero powers that makes it look like anything you do is unquestionably legitimate.

Will - read this thread about a thousand crabs dumped by the roadside. Maybe a fortuitous concidence. 

This is not a joke - build a pig-sty up against the fence line and pack it to the gunnels with oinkers.  Tit-for-tat and a peaceful demonstration of your ability to fire broadsides if necessary.

The Empire has definitely struck back.

The former tourist numbers of 40M in 2019 equates to 110,000 average every day.  This forecast of 180,000 over 2 months equates to 3,000 per day.

That represents a downturn of about 98% from 2019, and that's using averaged daily figures without factoring the peak high season travel numbers.

I wonder if I could use their calculator to do my tax return - I'd expect one sizable refund!

So, man up, get some courage from somewhere, start behaving like adults, realize this is not Bubonic plague, nor the Zombie Apocalypse, open everything back up, and let the people get back to work, you imbecilic creeps! 

Those of us who live in a world of observable reality are in full agreement with you.  Unfortunately every politician in the world now resides in a reality where rants tweeted by radical ideologues on Twitter determines their social policy.

I'm waiting for the first climate related lockdown which will soon follow the current dystopian agenda.  Some lunatic lefty state governor (because it's bound to happen in the US, although the Aussies may beat them to it) will declare the daily CO2 emissions are at an all time high and all travel and social activity is banned for a week or a month.  And that becomes the new normal - or should that be the new-new normal?

The only existential threat the human race has ever experienced is the threat of tyrannical overlords and their hunger for power.

Looks a nice wide smooth road in the photo - what's wrong with it?

It has a slight bend in it. 

She has no lawful financial claim on you whatsoever. Whatever else you decide to offer her privately is up to you.

Hide the knives.

You "pass away" following a long illness or a long period of medical attention.  When a muppet slams their car into your scooter and you die, you have been "killed".

Ditch all carbs except those that come in a bottle of Johnnie Walker. Drink your JW neat or with carb free organic ice. A shot of JW in your tea is a wonderful and healthy replacement for milk and sugar.

Eat only those things that once had eyes and/or legs. The only exception being onions and mushrooms.

Ok, seriously - avoid carbohydrates as much as possible and follow a keto based diet.  The first three or four days are difficult but once you're over that initial hump it's a breeze.  My diet consists of fresh meat of any kind (including as much fat as you want but NO processed meats), eggs, fresh fish, mushrooms, onions, cheese, coffee and yep, Johnnie Walker. I break the rules and add sauces for flavor but not too much. Once a week I'll go super radical and have spuds. 

The weight falls off.  The bloated belly disappears. Bowel motions are less frequent and you'll save on toilet tissue. Mental clarity improves - the downside is you realise what a bunch of muppets are in charge of the world. You'll sleep better and wake up feeling fresher. 

Once you've lost the initial weight and bloated belly you can spoil yourself somewhat, but weigh yourself every morning and if your weight is even 0.1kg over your target weight, don't eat for 24 hours. 

I'm 61, 5'10" and 74kg.  As a 15-40 year old I was a solid 105kg and I ain't never going back there.

Some people evading capture ran into the sea.  Imagine if some poor sod drowned for committing the heinous and heretical crime of consuming a hamburger and a beer in violation of authoritarian dogma.

This would never have happened in the time of the Spanish Inquisition. I suspect even at the height of Stalin's purges that eating borscht and washing it down with a vodka  amongst your comrades did not necessarily end up with a stint in a gulag.

I think LGBTQ is now officially old skool.  The latest alphabet soup I saw was 2SLGBTQQPIA2+.  The 2S is for 2-spirit, and the P is for pansexual (or was it Peter Pan - not too sure). And the LG and the BTQQPIA2+'s have fallen out with each other because the T's think the LG's are not inclusive enough, at least in the UK.  The B's are all very confused by it all and don't know which way to swing - some want to have their cake and eat it too.

Also in the UK the official medical term for those formerly known as "women" is now "people with a cervix" or "persons with a vagina" to clarify that it's probably not essential for the T's to bother with a cervix smear test. And if you think I'm joking, just google it. 

The word "woman" is now considered not inclusive enough - intersectionality in motion.

As for Superman, at least he/she/they/zim/zer/zie (or whatever preferred pronoun "they" choose) is still called Superman regardless of (insert appropriate pronoun) orientation.  I dread to think what would happen if they tried for a remake of Wonderwoman - probably insist the role is played by a 2 Spirited pansexual unicorn of no fixed abode gender, cervix optional.

Over the counter or prescription only?
