Too much fuss. Just buy an Omron on Lazada, if you want to calibrate, you can get your BP checked for free in hospitals and other places.

Sure, that's a good, rational argument.

Sorry I'm so old, that demolishes my argument completely. I'm not going to list the wars, but they were conducted in order to kill all the Jews, as they said at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel Do some more studying. Even now, with their "from the river to the sea", amusing jingle, they are demanding, and have been since they started this round, means destroy Israel, kill all the Jews. The Sunnis believe that when all Jews are gone, then truth and justice will rule. They believe this, along with getting rid of that most persecuted religious group, the Christians. Not just,"Oh well, nobody believes stuff these days. It's their life. Hamas has, in its constitution, the aim of eradicating all the Jews. So do other Islamic groups around the world. Christians (Can you read? Christians... that came after the Old Testament, which nobody takes seriously these days): "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Islamists : "that's a load of BS". There is no rational argument or reeducation that will change them, fear of hell is inculcated at an early age. They invaded Spain, Portugal and southern France, were defeated before the gates of Vienna, drove out the Christians from Turkey, North Africa, India and the Middle East. Not peacefully, but with the full blessing of the Koran.

Thanks so much for clearing that up. I worked as a botanist and seed gatherer. For most people, including me, a herb is a plant with healing properties, and that can include trees and mushrooms. You want to be difficult? Go ahead. Stop being "botancal".

I have witnessed in my short (77 years) life four or five "all-out wars to destroy Israel and the Jews" That was the declared intention, and they tried yet again. Yet again, they lost and now are whining (and lying in many cases) about it. Telling your neighbours consistently, that you want to kill them all doesn't help. These aren't UK politicians promising to make everything fine and dandy, this is absolutely the intention, not only of Hamas but of Islam. Not extremist Islam. Islam, read the <deleted> book sometime. Erdogan: Speaking at Kanal D TV’s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, ‘These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”Source: Milliyet, Turkey, August 21, 2007 Over in neighbouring Syria, romantic looking Islamists wearing Keffiyeh scarves, so beloved by western idiots, are going from house to house slitting the throats of Druze and Christians, despite promises not to do so. Islamophobic? Try Christophobic and Judaeophobic for size. Just a quick video clip from Syria, where the Israelis are trying to protect the Druze (here being shot by noble Islamists who proudly send these clips back home for family viewing).

cancel that. number is 001 44 191 218 777 thanks

Thanks. I don't have a + on my phone so I used 00 - no such number...

Hi. For the third time now, my UK pension is no longer being paid, and I will doubtless be accused of deliberately not answering the life certificate notification. I have never received mail back from the Pensions centre apart from that one time when I set things up to be paid in Thailand. So what I need is a telephone number? Previously I was able to use Skype, now I have just the number, (091) 21 8777, which is "unavailable". Anything quicker than email, which apparently takes about 10 days to answer? Thanks

Take a step back, guys. If you want to change Thai driving habits then say goodbye to all that we love about Thai people. I had one accident in 15 years (the usual "Not my fault") and I have seen improvement in driving habits as the old guard, that learnt to drive looking at a buffalo's a**e slowly die off.

WHO lists Thailand as having the one of worst traffic deaths rates in the world.

No Arab state wants these people, Lebanon took in many refugees and it is no longer a predominantly Christian country. Many non-Muslim people had to leave. Egypt certainly doesn't want them.

There is, or used to be, a law in Switzerland obliging you to slow down and honk when approaching children on the road. Can't see that one working in Thailand. I heard this story 40 years ago so it must date back to the 60's: In Iran somebody passed a law forbidding the constant use of horns. Some people actually had a switch that allowed the horn to sound incessantly. The law didn't work. They set up wayside reception committees and: stripped the guys to their underpants, shaved their heads and painted them red, and confiscated their car and their shoes. After a few days of seeing red headed guys limping down the road, honking ceased. three days the honking ceased. Ah, to be a dictator!

I read a news article two days ago predicting that 'leftists' (authoritarians) were going to attack Trump's mental acuity as a distraction from Biden's unforgivable situation. I don't like Trump's rambling manner of speaking but don't see that as evidence of mental decline. I don't see his gathering of supporters around himself (unlike in his first term) as evidence of appointing sycophants. There is no medical evidence that he has anything approaching the problems of Biden, and contrary to what the Op wrote, he has taken medical tests regularly.

Comfrey is associated with moist, shady places. I'm not criticising the use of comfrey but conditions are so different here in Thailand, there are certain adjustments you have to make. I worked in landscape gardening for 50 years and much of what I learnt doesn't apply here.

Sun-dried them or made fig jam.
