  1. Must be genes. My father died at 75, my mother at 95. Averaging out I will likely be gone at 85. That gives me just under 2 years to make the best of time left ...
  2. So, you approve of experiments on animals that benefit humans ?
  3. Neither people nor animals, if they could speak, would want to be experimented on in this way. Humanity would do well to reflect on its' appalling treatment of animals since the beginning of time.
  4. Killing someone who was walking on a pedestrian crossing in an urban area is unforgivable. Either the bike rider was going too quickly, or not concentrating, or both.
  5. At 30 I never thought I would make 50, at 50 I never thought I would make 70. Smoking, drinking and generally over- indulging throughout all those years. Now 83, still around and ok. No idea why.
  6. Starmer claims he has achieved 'billions of dollars-worth of new investments in the UK'. Really ?
  7. The girl, out and about at 4am, is described as a 'victim'. A pathetic sign of the times.
  8. Mentally ill ? More likely a cruel, idle useless scumbag. Should do significant jail time.
  9. ....not if the mother is mis-treating/abusing the daughter. A sad case.
  10. This is ridiculous. There is no way a county court in Texas has any form of jurisdiction in Thailand.
  11. Obviously different people have different sensitivities to fumes caused by smoking. I have no problem with fumes from cannabis. cigars or pipes, but I do not like cigarette smoke although I can live with it. Would there be any objection to a rule that, in a condo, smoking of any kind in the building would only be allowed on balconies ?
  12. Russian men have always been heavy vodka drinkers which can indeed lead to loutish behaviour. However it would be a mistake to write them off as cowardly draft-dodgers. They proved their worth in 2 world wars.
  13. Wait and see. Time will tell. I seem to recall there was relative peace during his first tenure.
  14. My neighbours in Taiwan had two pit bulls, male and female. They were delightful, friendly towards my wife and I, and towards our two dogs.
  15. The driver of the car mainly at fault. Clearly going way too fast, and not concentrating. BS comment from him claiming he applied the handbrake.
  16. Possibly all three, or all two if yabba and crystal meth are one and the same.
  17. Too self-righteous. too self-important.
  18. Nothing new about this. What consenting adults do in private, in Thailand or anywhere else, is up to them.
  19. As you say, the cost will be different for everyone. In my case I'm not bothered about the cost issue. I do not intend to leave Thailand, and my family here, for 6 months of every year.
  20. Booking a ride for a 'journey' of 1km, approx 1/2 a mile ? Surely an easy walking distance ? I suspect the 57 year old Norwegian may have been slightly the worse for wear at 5am after a long night out. It would be interesting to hear from the driver what it was that lead him to react with such violence.
