Born in Year of Tiger, I've got a 50% chance of yet another rubbish year according to one chart I saw.

Yes, "large" doesn't work in 7s either. Always "Yai" or "big".

Yeah, Tepprasit is hell. Unfortunately it has some of my favourite hangouts. It's not foreigners so much as young Thais on their rocket machines blasting along full throttle deafening everyone. Catch them at the lights, what can you do? Just don't get triggered.

A necklace worth 104,000 THB, and she's wearing it walking along the road and he sees it as he speeds past and snatches it off her neck? Lost in translation maybe.

The great W C Fields wrote a wonderful sketch entitled "The day I drank a glass of water". It resulted from finding himself in a bar on election day in the US, where alcohol is, or was, also banned. When he enquired about the origin of the law, the barman replied "The people voted for it", to which he memorably replied "That's carrying democracy too far!".

Hard/soft boiled eggs, salad, fruit, plain rice, lots of individual dishes you can make a ready meal out of. Not every day of course, but on long coach trips for instance, or even in Bangkok Pattaya hospital they have a 7 on the ground floor. I used to sneak down there early morning on my last stay there. Place was deserted. Large cappuccino, toasted sandwich. Mmmm.

Danish Carbonara

You couldn't care less? That's a good enough exit point for me. But, let's see how he gets on with his global tariffs. His repatriation of 20 million. His exit from NATO and all the other threats he's made. He "joked" about making Canada the 51st state. I don't think the Canadians were that impressed, ditto the world leaders at Davos. Same with Denmark and Greenland. But, to return to the topic. He likes Starmer. Everything else I said ran on from that. He's only been POTUS for a week. I sensed a mellowing. You seem to really resent that.

No, I used irony in the phrase "Oh yeah, I forgot" to which you sarcastically replied "Yes, of course you forgot...". Here's a link to his speech at Davos. Naturally he doesn't push the 51st state angle. He actually says they have nothing we need. So why would he want to annex it? https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6621641

No, I didn't forget. That's irony, which you don't get.

Oh yeah, I forgot, super power Columbia caved in.

Jan?

He backed off the threats against Canada, Mexico and Colombia. What do you call that?

I've never encountered a Starmer worshipper. I don't believe he's that popular at all. He was all the Labour party had at the time. It's just one of those oddities that Trump should come out with his hymn of praise after his team, simply poured scorn on him. I think it's wrong footed everybody. Now, everybody's scrambling to get back onside. That is hilarious!
