So true, so true.

I’m in virtually the identical situation sans the nightly drinking. I started the topic, which I agree is sad, because I’m curious to see how others think and feel about ageing and reaching the end, knowing the grim reaper is on the horizon.

Too right.

Whether or not it’s normal it is very common for contemplative people 75 and older to graciously accept the inevitable. Howard Stern asked David Crosby (Google if you don’t know) a while ago about Crosby’s health and life expectancy. Crosby said, “It isn’t how long you have left to live, but what you do with the time that you have left”. There is a time to leave the party. You have had a good time, have had your fill, you look around and realise, the party is no longer one where you fit. They are dancing to tunes you don’t recognise and they use words not in your lexicon. You are really not interested in adapting to new ways. Peace and quiet seems more prized than frantic activity. The thought crosses your mind: it’s time to go home. Does the inevitable bother people here?

He has a huge modern property on the outskirts of Udon, perhaps he’ll be incarcerated there.

I’ve witnessed such an occurrence in Udon. We all have different experiences and perceptions, c’est la vie (except for the poor Scotsman RIP).

I’ve looked at these offers but when I’ve tried they appear to be available to Thai citizens only. I could of course be wrong.

Especially on Aseannow ????

For a brief moment the OP’s post seemed reminiscent of GammaGlobulin. (No offence meant.)

Well said, and many of them appear to be proud of it.

Things don’t look too good on the barge at the moment: https://news.sky.com/story/asylum-seekers-to-be-moved-off-bibby-stockholm-barge-after-legionella-bacteria-found-12937904

From a large number of posts it seems people consider the Scot to be deficient: drunk, inexperienced rider, jet-lagged and more. However, from the report it’s clear he made regular visits to LoS, and would have used the bike before - note his wife saying she was always telling him to exercise caution while riding the motorbike. I ride locally (albeit slowly and on the left) and have to take care, constantly keeping my wits about me. For people who don’t ride here they won’t realise it can be possible for a bike to swerve without explanation on these sometimes perilous roads.

Millions ride motorcycles and scooters here, it’s a way of life. Some members here clearly consider it a way of death.

Sounds great ????

Good thinking. Apart from the intrusive ads there are so many abrasive posters around that are also off-putting.

Colloquially known as starfish.

Many a true word is said in jest.

You’ve obviously never experienced Cairo ????

I feel sick reading this :(

Why do your posts mostly consist of large blocks of text, does your return key not work?

Perhaps not most but certainly a great many ????

Same as Sparktrader.

What a thoroughly nasty admission.
