  1. Calm down old chap, you appear over-excited by this topic. I would only add, as a Brit, that I would try to avoid the US justice system like I would try to avoid the plague. Coincidentally I would also add that, in spite of all the efforts to gag Trump, my bookmaker is offering odds on for a Trump win on November 5. Cheerio.
  2. First came to Thailand in the early 1960s. Visited many times, lived and worked here 1983 -1987, married my Thai wife in 1990, retired to Thailand in 1993. Now in old age I still enjoy living here. Things have changed, of course, but the climate is still warm, the food is still good, and Thai people are still friendlier than most others..and I still have my lovely Thai wife. I will never leave.
  3. Decreasing amounts of fibre in our diet.
  4. Think about the Universe, the Multiverse, and beyond. How, why and where were these entities created ? Is some form of God involved ? We will never know. What we do know is that life on our little planet is complex and cruel for many species, and does not offer much to be thankful for.
  5. Looks increasingly like a victory for Trump come November 5.
  6. Very few, if any, upper class Thai women will associate with farang in Thailand. Outside Thailand, however, they are much more friendly.
  7. Never met him. I used to enjoy his Nite Owl column and found it a useful guide as to where and what was going on in Bangkok's nightlife, which was great fun in those days.
  8. In my day we took a lot of stick, day and night. Now it is called abuse, but we never thought of it as such. Just had to toughen up and get through it.
  9. This is the wrong way round . It is people who are posing a threat to wild elephants, and it people who are invading elephant territory.
  10. I've never been asked for this at CW, only an updated bank book and bank confirmation letter, dated one day before I apply for my annual retirement extension.
  11. Unattributed social media report citing 'newly released data'. Hmmm...
  12. He says he will return to Thailand on 1 April after just 5 days in the UK. Not much of a vacation.
  13. Disgraceful act by the mother, whatever the circumstances.
  14. Combination of circumstances. Bad behaviour by the Russian on a bad day for her, annoying shoes off requirement in what is clearly a shop rather than a private house, over-reaction by the 'victim' to what was more of a rude gesture than a kick.
  15. Utterly pathetic. Go by car, find another supermarket, or give them some snacks and you will always get a friendly reception.
  16. The leader of the womens' rights protection group needs to lighten up, to put it mildly.
  17. Strongly suggest you go in person to the immigration office at which you intend to apply and put the question to them. Incidentally, in reference the dates you mention, you need to move quickly on this.
  18. Looks more and more like a Trump win on November 5.
  19. Comments from the likes of Jerome Powell are as ridiculous as they are dishonest. Uncontrolled, illegal immigration helps nobody other than those who profit from employing cheap labour.
  20. Maybe you are just not likeable. It appears from what you say nobody wants to see you again following your initial visit.
