Like you though I am a mere 79. I prefer older music such as the big bands of the 30's, 40's and 50's.

 

Some of the 50's, 60's and 70's music when singers could still read and write their own songs.

 

Can you imagine saying to your children how you loved punk, grunge and garage music?

 

Well, I still like some punk and of course rock. I haven't a clue about most of the singers since the late 80s. The females now, thinking that all tit's and nakedness maked good music. But does anyone sing nowadays? My grandson gives me some rap just to wind me up. Bloody kids.😉

Been a bit too hot to do anything lately, I really do like to have something to do during the day as well as annoying folk on here....🤭

 

So, today's start, coffee, toast with marmite, sitting at my desk. Turn on the PC, read any emails, latest news and notifications here, when I finish laughing over that, it is down to business, no not that type of business, something to keep me occupied. 🤔

 

It's a difficult task most days finding something, but today, I was in luck, sorted a bike battery connection and now have on repair mode charge. Found a 4m length of 2x1.5mm2 cable and installed into my small hand drill, fitted a new plug, saves all that extension lead messing about in most cases.

 

Now back on here catching up whilst thinking about something else to do, looking out the French doors, it could be removing algae out of the pond, if we have a bit of cloud...

 

What about your today's start.......?

There's much you can do to improve mental acuity as we get older. The very first place I would start is by creating your own SuperFood that you can consume every day. Start with blue green spirulina and barley green, kelp powder, spinach powder, broccoli powder, and other such superfoods, many of them are available online, and are organic powder. Blend them all together with a little apple juice and voila your brain is functioning at a higher level within a month.

 

Do not expect your brain to continue to improve or even stay the same without feeding it. 

What's that again?😉

Oh the irony, 555

The pot calling the kettle black.

Lop Buri? The driver said he had 'a 40 pound monkey on his back.'

That heel has no sole. But then he has.😉

The simple answer is, there isn’t one. 
 

If he was the CEO of a company he would have been turfed out on his ear for mismanagement.

Where was god during the London Blitz? Working for Hitler? 

The same place he/it is now. While the humans are destroying themselves and the world. If there is a god he didn't make a very good job of creating humans.

I think I recall it ,when in about 15 years ago with a ladyboy 

Is that the one with the homophobic signs up or am I mistaken?

Could be. To paraphrase Groucho Marx 'Who wants to join a club that lets people like me in?' But each to his own.😉

Such as what?

Let us cheap Charlie's know what he provides so we can all go around 

Is that the one on the corner ,been there 100 years if it is 

Surely not same owner 

The same congenial owner. If you want to know what he provides for free and you are a cheap Charlie, I suggest you don't visit. Besides the regular customers. It has many customers who come back to Thailand for their holidays and without a visit to the Shamrock Bar their holiday is not complete. I discovered it in 1988 and all my visits have been well worth it.

Why?

 

I will TELL YOU WHY!

 

1.  I am getting old now.  And, I look back at my roots.  And, I very much value the Jewish neighborhood in which I grew up.  This made me what I am.

 

2.  "These Days", as you say, are just like any other days.  These days are just the same days as they always were.  So then, can I NEVER broach this subject?  Do tell!

 

3.  I have never submitted a Topic which was totally harebrained.  It might be ONLY YOU who interprets my Topics as being harebrained.

 

4.  Also, I do NOT blame the Jews for making me live in a Jewish neighborhood!  Instead, I THANK the Jews for making me one of them, during the time I grew up in my Jewish neighborhood....

 

I loved it there.

 

5.  Something that you might not know is this:

 

There is a high similarity between Jewish culture and Asian culture, and this.....most likely.... is why I have always felt so at home in Asia, not to mention Thailand, and specifically Chiang Mai.

 

There are MANY things that you might not know about me, and about Asia.

 

Feel free to query me regarding almost anything that you might not understand.

 

I am Asian, yes.

I am also, in some important respects, a Jew, too.

 

Should I riff on further about this?

I think, no need.

 

Just let it be said that I am grateful to have lived in the place where I grew up, as a young hottentot, and I learned a lot, while there.

 

I am a product of my environment.

 

 

 

 

Oi vey. My life already.!Give over. You are coming over like a cracked record. Who cares whether you are Jewish or not.😉

To be fair that's the stereotypical view of him, watch a couple of documentaries about him and you may change your view. He has an incredible drive to do well and always encourages youngest to work hard and fulfill their potential. He's an ambassador for the sport.

 

Oh, he also took his turn in the queue to pay his respects to the late Queen when others used their status and pushed to the front.

 

You dont need to hold a degree to be clever or a role model. I'm just highlighting the poster's ignorance over tattoos and 'mutton heads'

 

 

 

Only 'mutton heads' would make statements like that.........

 

Another with his head in the clouds😉

The tattooist must have had good eyesight. Did he use a magnifying glass?😉
