Ah sorry, my mistake. I certainly would not wear that t-shirt in Myanmar, because I would be deported rather quickly! I am living in Laos now because the military junta decided to exclude me anyway from that country. I have no problems to wear this t-shirt in public in Laos.

I was never in the forces, but I recognise the freedoms that many individuals died for. My father spent 12 years in the army in Africa (albeit not in a frontline role). Why would you not wear a poppy outside if you have one?

Er.. of course! Why not?

Seems a bit tough on the dog to have its balls chopped off just so you can avoid future prostate problems.... :) I had my PSA checked a couple of months ago when I was in Thailand. It was 14, which maybe sounds very high, but it's unchanged since last year when I had prostate cancer checks which proved negative. My high PSA is down to a long-term UTI which will not be shifted! But my PSA is not increasing so I'm happy. I am ok right now with BPH medication but am realistic to accept that at some stage in the future I will need some surgical intervention. Hopefully in a few years from now there will be more options available.

"I suspect that the evolutionary process (not the fictitious god) actually got it right at the time" Wait a moment! You mean Darwin designed the human body?! This man has a lot to answer for... He should be banished to some isolated islands as a punishment! The Galapagos Islands comes to mind :) Posters should be aware that I am a scientist and my comments about God were in jest. I personally believe in the flying spaghetti monster...

Lol, usual leftie response. Attack and insult the poster. The vast majority of those civilians in Gaza are not innocent people. They support Hamas, they are the reason why Hamas is in power. They allow Hamas to place their rockets amongst civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals. If you swim with the sharks, don't be surprised if you get bitten!

Yes, 90% is rubbish! I think it is probably more like 95% of lefties support terrorism.

Well, with my limited medical knowledge, it seems to be that whatever god designed the male anatomy, he (she/it?) screwed up big time when it comes to the location and plumbing of the prostate. Here's a diagram of the prostate and surrounding organs. (My own body differs somewhat in that my penis is way bigger than that chipolata in the diagram - lol). The bladder sits above the prostate and the urethra tube to empty pee from the bladder passes through the middle of the prostate. Also within the prostate is the duct coming from the testicles and carrying sperm. So both pee from the bladder and sperm share the same urethra tube as it then travels down and out through the end of the penis. Why on earth does the urethra from the bladder have to pass through the prostate? When the prostate enlarges, the urethra is squeezed and BPH is the result. Surely God would have realised this! Was he having a bad day or something? Why doesn't the urethra from the bladder bypass the prostate and join up with the main urethra as it leaves the prostate? In fact, why isn't there surgery available to re-route the urethra from the bladder in this way? I present my alternative bladder output routing (purple line) for those who wish to experiment with DIY surgery :)

Not surprisingly, no Remembrance Day poppies to be found on sale here in north Laos. So I colour-printed my own on stiff card :) (My t-shirt supports those fighting in Myanmar against the illegal junta).

Bear in mind that many of these invasive treatments do not provide permanent relief to the problem. I recall seeing a table which compared how long the relief might last for. It certainly wasn't 20 years, more like 5 years...

Rastafarianism is outdated..... Pastafarianism is the 'hot' religion 🙂 Back on topic, your wife should have no problems to find a worthy candidate to donate your wheelchair to after you pass. Last year I bought a lightweight wheelchair for my 18 year old Thai niece who was dying of TB. After she passed, her wheelchair was gratefully accepted by another elderly family member.

Exactly as I warned in another thread and I was told by posters that I was wrong.....

Caption competition for the picture in the OP: Nurse, can you give her some medicine to help her on her way? She's cramping my style!

Mine is real ... 🙂

They are not murdering 6 to 1, they may be killing at 6 to 1..... I have very little sympathy with the civilians in Gaza. They are responsible for enabling Hamas to be the government of Gaza. If you play with fire etc etc

That was actually a vibrator.....

"No <deleted> sherlock.... did you not read my earlier post.... 15 with parents consent ?" So how does that work when you return to your home country and get charged with travelling overseas for sex with a child? Just because the Thai law might state 15 with parents' consent does not make such an act legal for non-Thai citizens.

"Suddenly this guy gets more violent and grabs my shirt to pull it off me over my head " So let's get this right. You're in McDonalds and a young man wants to dance with you. Then he starts to undress you.... Is it something about you that seems to attract this kind of man? 🙂

Lol, that'll do wonders for your asthma!!

I spent a long day in the holding cells under the Pattaya Courthouse. I only went there to do some paperwork, but they decided to arrest me. Took my shoes and belt off me, but gave me a chair to sit on. No food or water allowed for 8 hours. Seems I upset someone important 🙂

23 years ago I developed one of the largest 'reverse SMS' networks in the UK, Spain, France and Belgium. I had the technical ability to charge up to 1.50 quid for someone to receive my text message and there was nothing that they could do to block my messages! Of course, I only sent out these messages in response to a text message request to subscribe to or to receive that information. (Quite why someone would pay 1.50 quid to receive a text message about 'dogging' locations is beyond me, but I made a ton of money from this service!).

Er.. yes I know that. I'm a scientist. Sometimes I have to dumb down my comments for the intended audience...!

OK, you stick to your comb over duckie!

A decent hair tattoo looks OK - (not that joke in the tik-tok video)

Well, mine is my avatar 🙂
