  1. If I google myself I find more than 100 entries 🙂 (And no, there isn't another famous person with the same name as me...)
  2. Well, the first quote is about right 🙂 I seem to be UTI-free this week 🙂 They'll be back.....
  3. True, but I have no interest in owning a property. When I die, who would I leave it to? None of my family deserve it 🙂 I'm a 'nomad', much prefer to rent.
  4. No, my UK state pension covers my needs 🙂 It pays all my bills, all my rent, all my food, all my travel, and enough left over to donate to help others. Yonks ago I was a $ millionaire (check Google info about me). But you can't take that money with you when you die, In 25 years of living in south-east Asia, I have never had more than $10k in the bank and I've managed well enough thanks!
  5. I invest in karma....... do good, spend money wisely to help others.. reap the returns in a later life 🙂 What would I do with gold or a sports car or houses or stocks and shares??? Don't need them!
  6. Yes indeed, that's becaue of my habit of relentlessly chasing dogs who show aggression to me! I once chased an alpha dog for at least 2 km, reducing it to a nervous wreck, since it couldn't shake off the human 'nutter'. Good exercise for me 🙂
  7. I think it depends if you are aware that the curtains are open, and deliberately expose your naked body to the audience 🙂 Yonks ago, a young Dutch couple checked into my Phuket guesthouse, went into their guest room. Drew back the curtains (the room had large sliding glass doors), and proceeded to 'ram' each other senseless, much to the surprise of the old guys sitting at the hotel bar. One old women tried to complain to me, but I was too busy selling tickets.......
  8. Right, but completely off-topic 🙂 Nothing to do with kefir milk, although I'm sure kefir limes are good for your health 🙂
  9. You have to know what the Thai word for shells also means! 🙂
  10. Thank heavens they were on a 'buoy' (British pronunciation) and not a 'boy'!
  11. The French did figure it out and the international Court agreed with this....
  12. Hmm, was this a Thai landmine on Thai territory? Or was it a Cambodean mine on Cambodian territory? Or was it a Thai mine on Cambodian teritory Or was it a Cambodian mine on Thai territory? If either of the last 2, then that means that the other side has illegally entered the territory of the opposing side If either of the first 2, then that is a defence weapon. For a lot of this border, the legal border has been defined by the international Courts many years ago. (If Thailand doesn't accept that judgement - even though they previously agreed to the border location yonks ago - then that is Thailand's problem) But if this incident occured in an area where there is no international agreement where the border really is - then 'tread carefully!'
  13. These people are extremely lucky that they attacked a UK military aircraft in the UK. Had they done that in the USA, then they would be dead, shot by military security.
  14. When the first one dies, perhaps the other's will understand that no-one cares if they live or die - time to start eating again....
  15. They (or some of them), committed acts of terrorism against a UK military target... Personally, if they were jailed for not having a TV licence and decided to go on hunger strike until they died, I have zero sympathy for them. Their life, their choice, and BTW, they are NOT my children...
  16. I make my own kefir milk daily - my grains have been 'happy' for the past 5 years 🙂
  17. Stray dogs seem to have a sixth sense about people walking through their territory. They may attack or show aggression, but also seem to steer clear of 'nutters'. I never have a problem with stray dogs! One look from me at them when they show aggression and they back off 🙂
  18. Perhaps it is the gay pick-up location? Go back tonight and wink at these 'bad boys' and see what happens....
  19. Or 3. You use your guns for game-shooting, vermin-shooting, clay-pigeon shooting etc. When I lived in the UK, I had gun licences for shotguns and firearms. I lived in a rural location and was involved in game-shooting, vermin-shooting, clay-pigeon shooting etc. I never even considered using them to protect myself or my family, because at that time the chances of needing to do was absolutely minimal. However, times change.... But it does weird that someone in the middle of a city (Sydney) is allowed to have several guns, especially since they were Muslim...
  20. I used to collect disguised walking stick and umbrella guns for a hobby in the UK. I never fired any of them, but that should would surprise an agressive Brit!
  21. I detest tourists who wear open sandals with socks. Honestly, I want to go up to them and slap them for being so discourteous. I can't sleep at night thinking about this awful faux-pas....
  22. To me, a beard or moustache indicates a lazy person who can't be bothered to shave. That's only the women.....
  23. He was arrested primarily because the hotel was illegal - it had no licence.
