Harold was indeed the last English monarch. Sad.

The Phuket Times writes that 'the couple were caught in the standard sexual position'. Surely whether or not it was standard is a matter of opinion and/or personal preference.

Trump won not only the Presidency, but also the popular vote, and control of both the Senate and the House. The size of the mandate that this gives him is unquantifiable. It will depend entirely on the support he gets from both main parties during his tenure. Impossible to say at this stage how much that may be.

True.

Hardly the point, but never mind...

Yes indeed. It's a shame that manifesto promises cannot be made legally binding...

The lockdowns were a societal disaster the effects of which will haunt us for years to come.

The sad, fragile ego of so many Thai males.

It wouldn't be cannabis alone that brought about this reaction. Some other additive or drug involved. It has become habitual for those affected to blame cannabis for their condition because it is semi-legal. The reality is usually that a banned substance is the cause, but the victim does not want to admit to breaking the law.

First marriage to a Brit for 23 years was a disaster. Second marriage to a Thai for 34 years is a joy. It seems to me the pleasures/hazards of marriage are much the same the world over.

Nonsense. The UK can easily choose not to obey ICC rulings. On the second point I would add Cameron for the disgusting murder of Gadhafi and the destruction of Libya.

Amazing decision by Starmer to support this resolution. On 7 October 2023 Palestinians murdered over 1,700 Israeli civilians, including the rape and beheading of women, children and infants. How much lower can the UK go ?

Reported just now that number of signatures approaching 2 million.

White House in retreat ? Not so after allowing the bombing of Russia, and the further relaxation of border controls.

Very well done Ms. Sukyana and all those involved in the rescue. Bless you for your kindness.

'Rescue workers' ensured he will likely end up dead.

A case of habeas corpus....

No idea. I don't, inter-alia, eat cows, pigs, sheep or chickens. Unlike most of humanity I am disgusted by the cruelty they endure before arriving on our plates and into our mouths.

Thanks a bunch for your reference to idiocy. Have a nice day.

No. Where things go is by mutual agreement. Maybe you need to get a grip and assert yourself a bit more ?

.....and your point is ?

That's what my teachers said about me. At 83 I appear, however, to have not done too badly in life...

Trump's first term was no worse than most others, and better than many. I doubt that you have the inside knowledge, to which you lay claim, on what his second term will be like. Let's wait and see how things go before passing judgement.

83 years old 3 days ago.Happy to be in Thailand, with my Thai wife, in old age. She is 68. We were married in Taiwan in 1990, and above all else we are very good friends. I have told her if and when I get sick do not put me into a hospital, just make me as comfortable as possible at home until I expire. I guess I could be called stoic. I find enough in each day to keep me interested and involved with what is going on around me.

Reportedly no involvement whatsoever. Were you not here at that time ?
