  1. The human zoo - a safari rather like Victorians were wont to go and visit Bedlam to see the inmates. Plus some of the cracking mia nois of the pi yais make for good eye candy. What's not to like? Plus a 5 minute stroll from my condo in VT2A . So true but not sad !
  2. The availability of Bolt (and Grab!) cars for what we regard as small money has opened up the city in a way that the old taxis with their outrageous prices and how would you even get one easily never did. But as I have said we are only here for 3 months and wouldn't use a car or motorbike personally. The fresh food market at Ratanakorn Market on Thepprasit is also a very useful place - the prices are basically wholesale and where every other business in Pattaya goes to get their stock. The 10 baht baht bus shuttle does go quite regularly at night at least in the high season. Mostly occupied by Russians it must be said!
  3. Prince Andrew brother to the King paid 12 million dollars to shut a witness up (temporarily - the gagging order lasted for one year) and has said he would cooperate with the FBI in their enquiries. The Palace have taken away all his duties which is pretty much an admission of guilt. If he continues to evade justice then it is a case of one rule for them and another for the plebs and therefore taint the reputation of your precious King. It's quite simple nonces should face justice or maybe you don't think so or let them play the get out of jail free card? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12928105/prince-andrew-royal-jeffrey-epstein-documents-king-charles.html In the case of the nonce bishop, Peter Ball Charles continued to keep in touch with him after a caution. It beggars beleif that he wouldn't be briefed about the potential repuational damage of continuing to support him given his crimes. Indeed he probably only got a caution because of his privilged contacts. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/20/prince-charles-kept-in-touch-with-ex-bishop-jailed-for-abuse-peter-ball
  4. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
  5. Agreed and 10 baht on the baht bus if you don't want to walk. Just be careful trying to cross it.
  6. I'm not an expert but I guess so at least legally - how that pans out in reality someone more qualified may be able to answer.
  7. Baht buses/Bolt take the strain - mind you I only do 3 months - a year would kill me and my soul.
  8. There is a feeding frenzy about the high-speed train, the Icon Siam and a Crown Property/CP Group condos/mall/resort.
  9. Royal nonces - not surprisingly the elites seem to have prodigious perversions and/or have a predilection to hang out with perverts like Sir Jimmy Saville and nonce Bishops. Vanilla doesn't seem to cut it for them. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/14/friendship-with-prince-charles-made-paedophile-bishop-peter-ball-impregnable
  10. An Icon Siam is coming in Na Jomtien near to the marina - they have just started the build. https://remthailand.asia/major-investment-plans-for-pattaya-jomtien-including-icon-siam/
  11. Before the current regime took over around 4 years ago the previous 'mob' nicked most of the money around 6 million in total. The 2 committees have done a sterling job replacing the lifts, sealing the roof painting the outside to a high standard, replacing the water pipes and tanks amongst other stuff and chasing down bad debts. The sinking fund needs replenishing so I have no qualms with the increased fees. Indded I would be concernbed if it was too cheap as you are just storing up problems for the future.VT5 isn't sold out by a long way as far as I know so I have heard VT controls the AGM vote and keeps the costs down probaly at the expense of the long term - as to why I don't know.
  12. Yup, it is Zombieland - that said bargains to be had from the reaper here!
  13. VT2A here - around 15k per unit now made up of 3 components - common fee, supplementary fee and sinking fund. 39sqm-49sqm . Or in the UK money around a pound a day for the whole caboodle. In my humble opinion a bargain.
  14. Apparently, it is a woke issue - it's called fat acceptance. https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/06/21/why-are-people-fighting-over-bmi-conservatives-call-doctors-group-woke-for-questioning-obesity-measure/?sh=1ce61a224224

  16. I'm not at that stage but these double collapsible 'nordic' poles are supposed to be very good for both stability and using your arms to add to the force you can use for movement. I see lots of seniors in the UK using them in the parks.
  17. Probably of all the 'conspiracy theories' I've heard in my lifetime is that Epstein was a collector of 'kompromat' on world leaders (whilst having an insatiable appetite for sex with young girls) for Mossad to exert pressure when required for Israel is probably the most believable. 'Captain' Bob Maxwell when he fell off his yacht had a state funeral on the Mount of Olives when he died, so that was a given. That most leaders of whatever stripe are sociopathic psychopaths shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-writer-who-broke-epstein-case-a-rumored-mossad-link-is-worth-digging-into/
  18. Prince Andrew and the persistent paedophile rumours about Lord Mountbatten and seriously underage boys there is something very rotten in the House of Windsor. Time for the truth to out and Andrew can as he has asserted before subject himself to an FBI interview under caution. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/news/lord-mountbatten-was-a-paedophile-he-raped-me-at-kincora-first-accusations-made-against-murdered-royal/42069333.html
  19. Well said the Russian propagandists are even using anti-wokeness in their absurd caricatures of Western society.
  20. The Pentagon's think tank the Rand Corporation maps out a potential road to peace. If the US wills it then I can't see it not happening. They always sneak these out with little fanfare to help shape and inform the mainstream narrative. This follows on from another paper back in February that also talked about an armistice. The days of "by any means necessary" have long gone - neither side can win but both can cause enormous suffering on each other. The problem is at 4 times the size and with ammo, material and men running out Ukraine is majorly disadvantaged in an attritional war. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2023/12/elements-of-an-eventual-russia-ukraine-armistice-and.html This guy Zelenskiy's previous advisor is positioning himself for a pole position in a post-Zelenskiy world. It is doubtful that with Z at the helm, a peace deal could be agreed and it remains to be seen if extreme nationalists will accept anything but continual war. There can be no doubt when the end comes it will be a vicious struggle for power in the post-war world. https://inews.co.uk/news/world/zelensky-ex-spokesman-russia-president-2796641 But the prospective candidate says that he is challenging Zelensky as a patriot, accusing him of authoritarianism and mismanagement of the war. “Zelensky tried to create a regime of ‘small-Putinism’,” Arestovych said. “He liked to play the role of hero in parliaments around the world. That time is over now… but he became a hostage of his own propaganda. “This has become a big problem because he thinks not about the national interest but about his own position.” The ex-spokesman is not alone in that assessment. Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv and former heavyweight boxing champion, recently warned: “At some point we will no longer be any different from Russia, where everything depends on the whim of one man.” Ukrainian MP Oleksii Goncharenko told i that he agreed. “You shouldn’t forget that Zelensky was an actor and he wants to be the only actor on the stage,” he said. Critics point to the treatment of General Valery Zaluzhny, the popular commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, who gave an interview stating that the war had reached a stalemate. He was slapped down by Zelensky. Members of the president’s party called for his resignation. The general has reportedly been named as a witness in a probe into wartime failures that some analysts have interpreted as a warning.
  21. True end of Empire stuff the modern-day equivalent of Roman emperor marrying their horse. So long America we'll never see the likes of you again. Now it's Asias' time to screw everything up.
