Once again, the advice: "Know where your towel is at all times" (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), has been vindicated.

Like Tucker Carlson, you mean.

75 years old, apparently.

Life is pretty much same same, after a while, for me anyway; the honeymoon period is exciting, I'll give you that; mind you, I'm speaking from memory, haven't been back home (UK) in a long time, I get the impression things are pretty effed up there these days.

Big bike, 24 years old, 4.30am; live fast, die young.

Believe me, all the psychic power in the world doesn't work when you have a bad toothache.

You can tighten the gun laws all you like, but the problem is supply, handguns are very easy to get here; was offered (unsolicited) one myself. Anyway, the real problem is knives, which are ubiquitous; I get the feeling guns are more of a status symbol thing.

Fake or real, it just emphasises that Thailand needs to direct limited resources to its real needs, i.e. coastal defence, rather than status symbols, such as submarines and aircraft carriers.

I fluctuate between Hia and Kwai; when in Rome ... .

Be thankful, it'll make your life seem longer; hey, I bet the people in Gaza ain't bored.

Europe is effed up economically - no money, no honey (or Koh Kut) for them.

The smell of money is good wherever it comes from.

 "As a result, Arne bounced into a car that was parked nearby"

Yeah, at 58 you don't bounce so well. Arne was just unlucky, I guess, but wandering about at 3am does lower your luck points.

Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt;
And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt -
Allus do it fer thissen"

A populist, hare-brained scheme, IMHO, destined for disaster in one form or another; on the other hand, 10,000 baht into my SO's account ... .

Flash in the pan or a new policy, time will tell I suppose; anyway, it was always a risky strategy, get picked up before you hit the airport, and your screwed.

I don't take Macron seriously, he flip-flops with wind.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, with a bit of research I was able to narrow it down to a precise date in September 2019; thanks again for your help.
