Lol! Bus driving far too fast on a moderate slope. Does that bus not have low gears to engage to slow it down? [quote] This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by steep and curving routes frequently used by tourist transport in Phuket. [/quote] NO! NO! NO! - this incident serves as a reminder of how badly-maintained buses are, how badly-trained bus drivers are, and how the brain-size of a typical Thai bus driver is similar to the size of a pea.....

No they did not - they fully supported me. A local police guy poked his nose in. The government department told him to butt out.

Free speech is only important when you are involved in politics. I have zero interest in politics (because ALL politicians are corrupt). I have learnt to look after myself and those I love. Everyone else can go <deleted> themselves 🙂

[quote] Most western people view free speech as a fundamental human right... [/quote] Meaningless! Who gives a flying <deleted> about free speech? I'd rather live somewhere with decent schools, hospitals etc, and where I can get on with my life without the state poking its nose in.... Most people don't give a damn about free speech, (unless you're into politics). Give me China or Laos any day over the UK/USA/Australia. (excluding the crap hospitals in Laos!!)

If 'freedom' is based on freedom of speech, then IMHO the vast majority of civilians would not consider that a useful freedom. Perhaps if you are some political activist, but again IMHO I think most people just want to get on with their lives without government interference (ie nanny state).

Kids were smart in those days... 🙂

Wrong! Boomers in vented the transistor. Boomers invented lasers. In fact, boomers invented a hell of a lot of things 🙂 (Just as other generations did).

With my scientist hat on, I wouldn't say that it is beneficial for your health, but as an emergency short-term solution in a desert, it might keep you alive. (Sitting in a prison cell is not an emergency, dehydration scenario...) Pee is about 95% water, but the other 5% is urea and excess chemicals/minerals in your body that your excretory system (kidneys etc) are filtering out from your blood. So drink pee for a lengthy period and you're just putting those excess chemicals back into your body again. I know some people claim wonderful health properties from drinking pee, but the science doesn't stack up.

Yep, it was a bit of a metaphorical question 🙂 As a scientist I know the answer. Did you know that bottled drinking water in Singapore is often made from recycled pee? I told some of my young online Chinese students that fact and they almost cancelled their trip to Singapore! 🙂

This old video popped up on YouTube just now - It's from 13 years ago but is probably more truthful about Labour than ever before! Watch and laugh (or cry...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4_WuFTX-5E

Dr Google says about French sexual habits: "In a 2023 study, the practice of anal intercourse in France has risen to 38.9% among women and 57.4% among men....." ... although to be fair, that report doesn't mention whether this (more than 50% of all French men) are having anal sex with humans or with some other animal... 🙂

Must be French...

Karma, don't mess with dentists and definitely don't bite their lips....

Tourists should have a mental-state evaluation before they are let into this country. There seem to be too many nutters and mental snowflakes. Science question: If you continually drink your own urine, is this an example of perpetual usage, where you no longer need to drink from an external source? Thirsty prisoners want to know... 🙂

[quout] ... Authorities believe Somchai lost control on the dark, straight stretch of road, leading to the fatal crash. ... [/quote] Perhaps that should read "Authorities believe Somchai was as pissed as a fart and mistook the canal for a nice new smooth road...

Careful there! They might want to take you back to their place...

[quote]... He's worth reading and listening to. [/quote] That is your opinion... I've never heard of him TBH

So how are your hemorrhoids then?? The nurse told me that you complained about itching when fingering your anus...... 🙂

https://us06web.zoom.us/j/5807927741 Yes! (I do have concerns about this sometimes!!). I once entered my zoom room to find my young student having a w*** on-camera!! Whoops lol! But everyone is human and no harm done... As I get more senile, I double-check that I have my jeans on before I exit my condo!

I bought it for the science experiment, but of course couldn't resist testing it out my todger. I was actually amazed at the result and am still trying to get back into my room... 🙂 (Although my tone is rather light-hearted, my OP was in all seriousness about this device which is intended for (probably) older guys with ED. Considering the cost of Cialis etc and the time to take effect, a once-off cost of 299 baht and very good results in just a few minutes seems news worth sharing.

Huh, I stood in the corridor of course.... 🙂

A penis pump is for men of all sizes who have ED. It only temporary increases the blood flow into the penis - it doesn't make your member permanently bigger. Besides, as the adage goes "it's not the size but what you do with it).

It's interesting! I went to my orders received list on Lazada, clicked on the order for that penis pump and got a message saying it was no longer stocked by Lazada... very strange. Perhaps they consider it a sex toy now. But I would say that it is a medical device. It was certainly posted to me from a Thai location (2 day delivery). Aliexpress stocked them also.

He's a top bloke!!
