  1. There has been a nude beach at Brighton for many years, to the west of the main beaches.
  2. Stop being sheep ? Ridiculous comment. Get to CW earlier. Last 90 day I was no.16 and out by 0915hrs. Equally easy for my annual extension, last time out by 1115hrs. Never ever had any hassle since first arriving in Thailand in 1962.
  3. Good for her for not being a parsimonious, grovelling do-gooder.
  4. Nothing unusual happened on any flight I was on. Smokers smoked in the smoking section, non- smokers didn't smoke in the non- smoking section. Live and let live in those days. Not any more.
  5. I seem to remember there used to be a smoking section on many flights. Maybe should be reintroduced, for vapers ?

  7. As a foreigner it seemed to me that things were more peaceful world-wide during Trump's presidency.
  8. Abysmal behaviour by the German. Just throw him out, hopefully never to return.
  9. ....and he hates Brits.
  10. It's hotter than usual for this time of year, but not unpleasant.However, for those who feel uncomfortable, obviously better to limit outdoor activity to esrly mornings and late afternoons.
  11. Calm down ! Wishful thinking. Never going to happen.
  12. Thanks for ruining my breakfast.
  13. He is both the target of a colleague who sees him as a rival, and of the establishment who se him as a threat to their income stream.
  14. The RTP continue to arrest sex workers. Hopefully, one day, they will focus on murder, theft and violence.
  15. During his tenure as PM Thaksin ordered the killing of over two thousand suspected drug dealers many of whom turned out to be innocent. It was a shameful and utter disgrace, which should have been punished under both Thai and international law.
  16. Very sad to see what is happening to Sweden, a fine country I got to know well in the 1970s. They should have kept a much tighter control over immigration.
  17. Not only in Thailand. These days pretty much like this everywhere.
  18. The cost of overheads incurred in running a bar, particularly rent in popular locations, has increased enormously over the past few years, hence the higher prices. In quieter areas you will be charged less, obviously.
  19. Ridiculous comment re cannabis which induces calm, unlike alcohol which incapacitates and induces aggression.
  20. Same reaction when I was last in broken Britain. Couldn't wait to get back to LOS which is still a great place to live. Good food, warm weather, friendly people.
  21. Waste of time trying to go the blue book route. Simply not possible under current regulations. Get a yellow book, and thereafter a pink card. Latter worth having. Can be useful at times.
