SSN is an American hull classification, not a British one.

No need for a 'shot across the bows'. (Astute class subs don't have deck guns anyway) Just showing themselves seem to have done the job. 'The skills and resilience of our submariners should be applauded. The Yantar, according to the Secretary of State, stopped what it was doing and scuttled off to the Mediterranean'. https://www.forcesnews.com/opinion/opinion-if-you-want-peace-prepare-war-uk-submarine-surfacing-near-russian-warship-warning?utm_source=Forces+Newsletter&utm_campaign=da74ff73e7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_01_24_05_45&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-da74ff73e7-441295500

ASEAN NOW negativity shining as brightly as ever.

Thanks. “Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” –J.M. Barrie. Try it sometime. Take care. 🙂

Quite possibly.

Sad but oh so predictable that the very first post is a negative comment like this. Two people who are happy together can infect other people around them with their happiness And the infection continues outward. Thus the world slowly becomes a better place for all. But it's slow, slow process and there are many grumpy old sods who will never understand that.

Many heterosexual couples marry and have children with disastrous consequences for the child!

Quite true, no qualifications necessary. But I was interested to know whether he was bringing anything new to the table. Some inside information maybe. My impression was 'no he was not' and the lack of a response from the O/P would seem to confirm that. Just the same old unqualified guess work.

Exactly what qualifies you to post this @SoCal1990? Where did you get your information from?

I'm pleased to see that at least one person has the guts to speak out in front of that misogynistic, homophobic nutjob. More power to her and her supporters.

I do not accept that I have 'missed the point' at all. Trump was using the gender word simply to mask the true meaning of his comment. The man is clearly homophobic. 'Trump has launched at least 225 attacks on LGBTQ+ rights since first becoming president'. https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/20/donald-trump-225-lgbtq-rights-attacks/

How can you possibly claim that it is not about sexuality? Sexuality is at the very heart of it. If this only about gender Trump would not even have needed to broach this subject. Trump is a bigoted homophobic. Nothing more, nothing less. At least he should get on well with Putin.

You obviously adhere to the same narrow minded and bigoted viewpoint that Trump does. Sexually is NOT just physical as any gay man or lesbian will tell you.

Sounds to me as if Wise AU is simply catching up with a system similar to that we've enjoyed in the UK for years. Instant transfers in followed by instant transfers out (to your Thai bank) Welcome to the 21st century.

COD is still available on Lazada. Certain suppliers won't accept it, but that's their decision, not Lazadas. But why use it anyways? COD is for Luddites who can't accept that the 21st century exists.

I've switched to using K-Plus QR code (via the app of course) with Lazada. Very easy and apparently refunds are instant if required.. (Haven't had cause to test that out yet)

98% of the world's population are reckoned to have this phenomena, known as an earworm or brainworm. But I doubt whether statistic also applies to OCD suffers. (if that's the right term) I get them very often and they do not bother me in the slightest. And although I do show a slight inclination toward OCD, that doesn't bother me either. A tune that came to me recently kept me guessing for quite a few days. I knew that it was a film score but I couldn't think which one. Then after about a week the penny dropped. It was the title music from 'Gone With the Wind'. A film made 6 years before I was born. What a memory! For those who are bothered by earworms, a few minutes mindfulness meditation can be helpful for you.

Whilst Thailand moves forward, - Why Thailand became a haven for LGBT couples https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly92g14edro America moves backwards. - "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqld6wnv1rgo

And also a slap in the face for every decent American who believes that the democratic process should be a peaceful, civilized affair. Great start DT. Shame on you!

And just how do you think they 'inflate' the bill? Come on, suggest how they do it. Explain the methodology.

Read the story properly, not just the headline! I think you've been watching too many movies.

Hmm, it seems that zoology isn't in your portfolio either. Why don't you trot off and talk about a topic you do know something about? 'Contrary to the popular myth, ostriches do not bury their head in the sand when scared or frightened'. https://www.clevelandzoosociety.org/z/2020/03/11/truth-or-tail-do-ostriches-really-bury-their-head-in-the-sand-when-scared-or-frightened#:~:text=Contrary to the popular myth,blend in with the terrain.

It is pretty easy to see that good manners is not your strong suit.

Last time I checked, death was 100% guaranteed, so there's little point worrying about. Especially at my age!

Did you know that if it wasn't for the quick actions one Flying Officer George Innis RAF, King Bhumibol might not come to the throne? Innis was in command of RAF police in Bangkok and fearing Bhumibol might be in danger as well, quickly spirited him away after his elder brother was assassinated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Innes_(RAF_officer) Rubbish. A peace treaty was signed in 1946. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Thai_Peace_Treaty
