  1. and that is disgusting as well, at least it is the way I do it.
  2. The intervention wasn't that prompt.
  3. One would think that considering his apparent wealth he would do something about his face.
  4. The Chinese are trying to bust into the trouble making foreigners league.
  5. True democracy is a myth, unless of course you have managed to see such a strange creature.
  6. Are we to gather from your post that you don't like him?
  7. results for what? I am lucky with my genes, never ever had any health problems despite my smoking, everybody else I know in my age group or younger suffers from some age related problem or other, knees, back aches, arthritis etc while desperately clinging on to their 'youth' with diets and exercise, I continually surprise myself, waiting for aches and pains that never come, I am still stronger than my 16 year old son.
  8. I'm just jealous, if I do anything at all I walk 2 or 3 km around the lake here, at 76 running seems to me to be an exaggeration. I'm actually quite fit and slim and will climb on the roof to clear rain gutters, cut the grass etc, play with grand kids but there has to be a reason for my activities, the lure of a computer and air con are hard to resist. My brother is a keep fit fanatic at 70, mountain bike and sailing, 6 months ago he broke his neck biking but survived, my father did a lot of sailing and heavy gardening, his third heart attack killed him. At my age I see no point in being the fittest corpse in the crematorium. One has to enjoy what one does, if running is your thing go for it, my earlier post was tongue in cheek, no offense intended.
  9. Anyone running a marathon in this heat has a mental problem and deserves a heatstroke.
  10. Manage the compensation for the damaged car? Who is going to pay?
  11. This time next year they'll be trillionairs
  12. Ahhhh, the company one keeps.
  13. The falang is having a hands on experience.
  14. You forget that at that time there was only one country with nuclear weapons. These days its use is a threshold that nobody should even consider crossing, once that taboo is broken Pandora's box is opened.
  15. Seems like a lesson on how to ruin your health while on holiday....... talk about excess.
  16. No they don't but they are sensible enough to realize where strength lies. It's easy enough as a keyboard warrior to be brave and principled until you yourself are threatened with financial ruin or violence if you don't tow the line, it's called accommodation, accepting the reality of things as they are. Who here wouldn't dump his principles for the chance of making some huge profit......lots of oligarchs in London owning mansions in Knightsbridge bought with suspicious money, the authorities don't look too closely. How long did it take the justice system to nail the Kray twins in the UK, it was difficult because police and influential figures were on the take. Mocking others is easy if you don't look to close to home.
  17. Whereas the Germans and the allies never engaged in such activities. Every nation has its historical dark side, especially the UK and the US. It is a mistake to judge a whole nation on its leaders, ordinary people just want to get on with their lives but governments, outside interference, ideology, religions and the greed of the elite make that impossible, especially with the media with vested interests is standing on the sidelines cheering on their benefactors.
  18. The court case has nothing to do with his visa. Anutin has the power to revoke his visa and is basically telling Urs how it is, 'You can appeal but it will fall on deaf ears, stop wasting my time and go home'. Anutin wants his brownie points from the press. When one reaches a certain level in any government one is no longer a public servant but a lord and commander, sometimes all it takes is a traffic cops uniform.
  19. Disgusting, he probably has a mind like his body, I do hope he gets found and thrown out.
  20. It's BS. I painted the rice barn in my back garden 5 years ago when coincidentally 4 IO officers came round checking visas, they were impressed with my work, my missus told them that I had been on the roof that morning cleaning the rain gutters, one of the officers (20 years younger than me) said he could use me at his house as he wasn't fit enough for that type of work. However this is Isaan, things seem to be more relaxed here and nobody gives a $hit what I do, especially in a farming village. During the harvest I am also in the fields helping out, nobody has ever said a word.
  21. The itch is the same everywhere, king or beggar, monk or politician.
