  1. Agreed. The man is talking his way into trouble, all over again. Mouth ahead of brain syndrome.
  2. Not since we stopped eating out. I only eat my wife's cooking these days
  3. During the 2020 election foreign TV viewers in many countries were shown what was not shown on most US channels, namely the sudden arrival late on of all those black plastic bags apparently full of postal votes. Quite possibly totally legit, but it looked very odd.
  4. The Islamisation of the UK is well and truly underway and will be completed by the turn of the century, latest. Discussion, let alone action, on this is virtually forbidden.
  5. Nothing wrong with older women. Experience brings knowledge.
  6. Thailand has been occupied, but not colonised, which is why you don't find many Thais who can speak a language other than their own.
  7. Not got a dog in this fight, but I like the intention if Kennedy/Trump to focus on health issues.
  8. He sounds like an innocent in the LOS (Land of Scams). A bit too eager to lodge an insurance claim, thereafter getting entangled with the police. Big mistake.
  9. 1997/8 crash was bad. Lost a lot of money, and left holding the liabilities of a failed project by cheating Thai partners. Got over it though, helped by the unfailing support of my Thai wife. Still happy to be here, still happily married.
  10. Left or right, he was an extreme nationalist. Didn't finish up too well for him and his girlfriend...
  11. It may be wise for Thaksin to lie low for a while, and to stop trying to steal the limelight. He is not liked by many Thai people who have both power and influence.
  12. Americans have more energy than the rest of us.
  13. A couple of translated quotations from early publications of the Quran: 'Women are your fields. Go into them as you please' 'Killing an infidel will ensure you a place in heaven' Unless the Anglican church, and Brits generally, wake up, Britain will be under sharia law by the end of this century, latest. Messing about with terminology is a waste of time. Leadership that commands respect is what is needed.
  14. I am told by an American friend, a former US border control official, now retired, that this is the tip of the iceberg. Tragically the numbers are,apparently, far worse, with thousands of desperately sad outcomes.
  15. Not that good at it though. He fled to Dubai having upset the hierarchy in Bangkok, who regard him as an upstart, to the point at which he was charged with several crimes, a major one of which is still outstanding. He appears to be incapable of going about his business quietly. This could yet see him on his way back to Dubai, with the current PM in tow.
  16. I agree. All I would add is that it would be unwise to entirely exclude hydrogen at this point.
  17. Hydrogen can be produced from different sources in different ways to use as a fuel. The two most common methods currently are steam- methane and, as you say, electrolysis. However, researchers are working on developing other, alternative methods. It remains to be seen how this work progresses, but reports indicate significant progress. It is quite possible that hydrogen as a commercially practical fuel will be widely available within the next 5-10 years.
  18. A Thai friend told me that judges are the most corrupted of any civil servants in Thailand.
  19. Never thought of that one ! As a rule, if men want extra time, they must pay extra money. No extra money, no extra honey.
  20. If my daughter or grandaughters were treated in this way by this scumbag he would be in poor shape for the rest of his worthless life.
  21. This woman is a waste of taxpayers' money, as was her husband Ed Balls.
  22. As far as I am concerned, not being an American, I think this was a kind gesture. Of course the low-minded on here will not agree. They are consumed by hate.
