  1. About time. I doubt, however, it will ever happen given the increasing strength of the Islamic lobby in the UK.
  2. The Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family re-named themselves Windsor in 1917 because it had become apparent that the Germans were going to lose following the entry of the USA into the first world war. From that act alone it becomes clear that Meghan has married into a family whose integrity and morals are highly questionable, as are hers. While some forecast a divorce sooner or later others say they are made for each other, and will never separate.
  3. Very difficult to understand the point of publishing a list of alleged collaborators some 80 years after the event.
  4. Nothing special about the new year. The road carnage goes on all the time, every day.
  5. ..and to think that in terms of many other Thai/Asian families Thaksin's wealth is small fry.
  6. Be interesting to see how the amorous couple would react if someone asked to join in.
  7. Have re-read the article and there is no reference to a pedestrian crossing. My mistake.
  8. 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 ...
  9. So, you approve of experiments on animals that benefit humans ?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Starmer claims he has achieved 'billions of dollars-worth of new investments in the UK'. Really ?
  14. The girl, out and about at 4am, is described as a 'victim'. A pathetic sign of the times.
  15. Mentally ill ? More likely a cruel, idle useless scumbag. Should do significant jail time.
  16. ....not if the mother is mis-treating/abusing the daughter. A sad case.
  17. This is ridiculous. There is no way a county court in Texas has any form of jurisdiction in Thailand.
  18. 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 ?
  19. 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.
  20. Wait and see. Time will tell. I seem to recall there was relative peace during his first tenure.
  21. 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.
