  1. Hmmmmm .... I drive one because it avoids the gridlock and the lack of parking spaces in Chiang Mai. But it is important to have a full face helmet and do the strap up.
  2. Lots of older movies rereleased ...... Pretty maids all in a row 1971 Rock Hudson as a high school teacher banging the students The Irishman 1978 Australian truckers but in the day when they used horses Eye of god 1997 murder in Oklahoma And a new movie In the lost lands Milla Jokavich fighting her way through a post Nuke war America.
  3. In the UK they still had rationing until 1954, so not that great a time for most. And I remember a lot of boredom, no tv until 6pm, books expensive, movies expensive. Music you had to buy until around 1995 Sex very restricted when I was in the west, essentially guys over 40 didn't get any, even from their wife. Sex available whenever I wanted from 2009+. English food also easily available from 2015+ Since about 2015, all movies, books, games, music free and I have the time to indulge. Now is the best of times IMHO. Can't say I really care about the billions of other people, my life is all about me ....... me, me, me, me, me! Sure if I were young now, and living in the UK, I probably wouldn't be all that hopeful ....... Zero hour work, no pensions, no chance of buying your own home, no chance of the traditional family life. White men aren't doing that well (but we're a minority now), but if you were to ask all the non-white immigrants their lives are probably great beyond the wildest expectations of their parents still living in their dry, famine ridden, war torn poop hole countries. The Russian and Chinese populations have never had it so good throughout any time in their history. Back to the OP, do I care if all those rich, greedy, money grubbing leeches start jumping from windows ......... not in the slightest.
  4. Didn't think that much of the 50s and 60s TBH. 70s, 80s and 90 I was working so didn't really notice the world passing by. Best is the 10s and 20s, no money worries, retired and now living in the sun. What was the OP again, oh yeah Wall Street .......... always though the stock market was a scam for the rich to take money from the gullible.
  5. I could do without the raging winds though!
  6. I got me tea bags 2tsp as you said, and here is a jar of Tata gold with a teaspoon of honey
  7. Make love with the locals, not war ............
  8. Old one was on it's last legs, new aircon 10kbht fitted. Aircon power now free now as I paid 2kbht for a 1kw GTI, and another 2Kbht for a 580W n-type mono split, bifacial panel to wind my meter back (around 2 units a day).
  9. Would disagree, Being well fed, having clean water, and not fighting in the front lines of wars are the game changer.
  10. My Makro sourced potatoes sprout before I can eat them. Suggest the problem is in your soil or potting compost. .... Or even your tapwater.
  11. When it takes 20 years to get round to reporting a rape, it never happened. Put a limit of a week on reporting such crimes, when there's still evidence to find!
  12. Once China invades Taiwan they won't be available at any price, so best the USA makes them in house. Or would you prefer China have the ability to control all the worlds aircraft manufacture?
  13. Veterans ...... Wouldn't liberals generally refer to them as baby killers? Now they're your best friend? Cancer research........ More free money for big pharma. Don't forget vaccine research,that works so well with COVID. Feeding your own countries poor (kids or not) I can agree with. Feeding other countries poor, not so much.
  14. And all you liberals could easily donate 10% of your income to charities to make up for Trumps cuts, but then you wouldn't be giving other people's money away!
  15. Slightly off topic .......... Just been downloading age of consent 1969, and savage messiah 1972 to see how naked Ms Mirren would go when she was in her early 20s. And the answer is ..... way beyond any bond movie ever dreamed of going!
  16. A photo (with GPS) or it doesn't exist! I want to view your imaginary pay phone on street view.
  17. When did you last see a pay phone in Thailand?
  18. I can't think of any Thai goods I purchased when living in the west.
  19. There are no good ones! And you can't add extra batteries because they overheat and fail if running for more than that 2-3 minutes.
  20. Because most UPS only last for 2-3 minutes at most. My hybrid inverter lasts for 16hrs from a full battery with no sun or grid, and runs my entire home.
  21. Thailand and the world stage ......... Thailand would be the guy in the gents toilets trying to massage the big boys shoulders while they're trying to take a pee.
