  1. Well as I have already reported here I have accidentally received a booster to which I wasn't entitled and tomorrow I am getting another one to which I am entitled (73 years old). In Australia a man was arrested for swindling himself 9 vaccinations with no ill effects.
  2. Unfortunately politics are a necessary evil and those in power will always have difficult decisions to make for a fickle public. Not only is the public health at stake but jobs and the economy as well, I wouldn't like to be the one making decisions in this day and age.
  3. Yes but the indications so far is that while more infectious omicron is a milder version of covid and if you have been vaccinated you will not only be unlikely to die from it but you probably wont even need hospital treatment, 80% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated people.
  4. Yes but to be fair it isn't much better in Europe, Covid changes so quickly that it is difficult to keep up and then there are the political ramifications, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Being too careful will result in anger and demonstrations, being too lax will result in blame when things go wrong. This is new territory for most countries, most people, especially in the West, are loathe to give up their assumed freedoms and would be willing to man the barricades to protect their right to eat cream cakes let alone their right to celebrate Christmas and new year, maybe Ebola would change their minds but I doubt it.
  5. Same here in my village but I never accept, drinking with Thais is a dangerous event no matter how nice and friendly they are when sober, when someone suddenly produces a lao kao bottle all bets are off.
  6. That wasn't an earthquake, that was the result of Anutin saying he wanted to be PM.
  7. Your conclusions Mr goody two shoes, I don't know any men who would beat anybody, let alone a woman.
  8. An interesting article, the HIV word was slipped in there, due to covid the HIV problem in Thailand has slipped under the radar, no doubt new cases have gone down now.
  9. It would be a mistake to make him your enemy, but your wife would know that anyway.
  10. I was reading in Der Spiegel that it is considered a stroke of good luck in Germany to have Omicron taking over from Delta, the illness isn't as severe as Delta and since it is more easily transmissible it should take over completely. Omicron is Covid 19 that has added genetic material from the common cold which our bodies have become used to. It all depends now on climatic conditions, it was first thought that the cold winter in Europe would cause more fatalities through Covid but this now not the case (up to now) due to Omicron, how this will play out in Thailand is anybody's guess.
  11. I'm already happy, sentimentality wont increase it. Causality forms the paths you have walked on, are walking on, will walk on, it is up to consciousness to master what occurs on the way. If you need a chrismassy film, that is causal, if you don't, that is also causal. Sentimentality is a holiday from the shadowy side of life, I am permanently on holiday without it.
  12. What about "The blood thirsty humpbacked vampire in the chip shop"....it's a musical, all done in the best possible taste (RIP Kenny)
