  1. I'm 65 years old, no problems getting an erection, but zero interest <deleted> a woman (or man!). Why? Because the woman is either doing the act as part of her job (a bar-girl). Or she is doing the act because she is in the long game and only after what little money I have. No woman is actually going to 'love' a 65 year old man and the sexual satisfaction I would gain from <deleted> in the above 2 scenarios is minimal. Franky, I'd rather spend the money on a decent meal for myself, a pair of rubber gloves and some baby lotion 🙂
  2. Over the past few years, several well-known members of south-east Asian forums have died after slipping in the bathroom and hitting their head. They were not elderly..... Knowing of these accidents, I always hold onto a firm surface when using the shower etc. I don't want to become one of those statistics.
  3. Could it be that this is a new variant of Covid that is not detected by the current ATK tests? You say 'no sign of bacterial infection' which makes sense since Covid is a virus.
  4. Nothing to do with Thailand - just an interesting thought about family memories: - My grandfather was 19 years old when Queen Victoria died - My father was born during World War 1 - I expect my kids (born around the turn of the last century), will start families around 2040... All this is the result of starting families later in life, typically around 40-45 years old. How about you? Does your grandfather remember chatting with Lord Nelson? 🙂
  5. Drat! I need a taxi back to the airport asap.....
  6. How very fortunate..bye-bye Biden, time to take a rest in the old people's home.....
  7. Camera still not working.....
  8. Would that 'Easy Off' work to clear constipation?
  9. Seems to look exactly like the photo in the news report, but of course I could be wrong - I just spotted (and recognised) the restaurant as I walked to Tukcom today. Still, not important 🙂
  10. Unlikely - the sheep has already died.... 🙂
  11. I walked right past that restaurant just 1 hour ago as I went to Tukcom, and the restaurant is open for business! Very strange.
  12. Great move Elon and Trump! Sick of the wokies and PC softies.... This is a 'hard' world and you need hard leaders who don't <deleted> about just to please the wokies....
  13. Same problem for me with the smog in Laos from the tree burning. I decided that for the sake of my lungs I would move back to south Thailand (I used to live in Phuket 12 years ago). Phuket is too touristy/expensive for me now, so I'm renting a small house a few hundred metres from Khanom beach. The air quality is excellent, but actually the location is too dead! So in a week or two I'm going to move over to Koh Lanta which should be slightly more populated 🙂
  14. Carbon Monoxide poisoning? Cooking BBQ inside the room?
  15. Ugly fake boobs, make women look like ladyboys after the 'op'. Of course, if that is your thing, go ahead 🙂
  16. [quote] ... They have said verbally, and in email, that disputes arise when foreign nationals don't reveal the whole truth and then try to claim for pre-existing conditions. ... [/quote] So did you disclose all pre-existing conditions (however minor), previous accidents, illnesses etc?
  17. I get up at 6am because I have to teach Science online at 6.30am. These are Chinese students who have emigrated from China and now live in Vancouver, Canada. So the timezone is a bit of a problem, but at least it's not in the middle of the night. After teaching I fast-walk for about 2 hours, then have a light breakfast and then back to teaching students in the Asian time-zones. Various breaks throughout the day and last lessons around 11pm for emigrated Russian students who now live in the UK. Spain etc. Some day I'll retire, but I enjoy teaching, so retirement age will probably be around 99 years old 🙂
  18. When my 2 Thai nieces 13/14 years old lived at my house in Phuket some years ago, (I was their legal guardian), it was almost impossible to stop them staying out late at night with the local lads on their motorbikes. I know this wasn't going to end well, so I would lock the doors of my house when the 2 girls were in their room and (theoretically) gone to bed. They would then climb out of the windows! So I bought superglue and glued all the window locks shut! They bought more superglue AND superglue solvent, then dissolved the glue after I was asleep, went out for fun with the local lads, came back in the small hours and glued the windows shut again.... Very resourceful of them, but it was doing my head in 🙂
  19. I used to do Ranong visa runs many times. I took the public bus or drove up to the Ranong pier. Paid $10 for entry into Kawtaung, stamped out by the IO, walk down to the smaller boats and pay 100 baht each way, arrive in Kawtaung, walk 200 metres to the IO office, get stamped in and out, walk back to small boat, over the river mouth to Ranong, stamp in, go home.... A short video I took on the boat crossing to Kawtaung: Kawthaung - Crossing the Kyan river.mp4
  20. Wow - some real nutjob comments in this thread!
  21. The comments in this thread reassures me that I made the right decision a long time ago to stay well away from people from the USA... 🙂
  22. To be honest (for the sake of the USA), the best thing that could happen is for Biden to fall down the steps (as he often does), and break his neck.... Harsh but true.
  23. The UK has too many people already and adding all these immigrants isn't going to help. There is a simple solution which will save a fortune in the long run. That is, courage the local population (ie people who in the main were born and raised in the UK), to bu-gger off to warmer climes.... Give sweeteners, such as paying their airfares, visa fees to live in other countries. Simple init?
  24. You need some other animal to attract the flies, as opposed to your body. I keep a large water buffalo in my condo and it works very well to keep the flies off me 🙂
