It appears that if you can get a place on a dinghy arriving on the Kent coast you will be royally looked after. For the avoidance of doubt this is not an insensitive remark aimed at the dreadful predicament of the OP ,rather a satirical remark aimed at the convoluted priorities of the UK authorities who perhaps should be prioritising a citizen and ex serviceman who has fallen on hard times rather than economic migrants. Good luck sir!

That's why ecstasy users drink water. No need of alcohol,so in summary the least harmful of all combinations and certainly way better than either cocaine or especially heroin

You fail to understand that alcohol is a drug too and overall one that has caused much more damage than Ecstasy . Nicotine is far more addictive too. Just because something is illegal ( as alcohol has previously been) is not a definite indicator of toxicity.

So,Did you get a pizza the action...?

Indeed you should "die for" that abomination! ????

Unless it's your thong wearing Russian dive buddy! ????

Ah,the venemous blue ringed octopus. Still, prefer it to the "chocolate starfish"...

Quite right. Have you seen the state of the bread here?! ????

He was drinking Meths?!! Hope it was chilled at least!

I did tell my doctor that I was forgetting things and maybe altzheimers? He said " how long has this been going on?" Puzzled,I replied " how long has WHAT been going on?" ????

You've run out of money already and return to the cheaper farm girls....?? " One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble" ????. Do you play chess? ????

Freeze his assets until he pays up!

A woman threatened at knife point by a rapist doesn't resist. So in your book she had consensual sex and wasn't raped....?

So,if an overwhelming force with guns burst into your house threatening your family ,but you sensibly surrendered to avoid being slaughtered you'd regard that action on your part as excusing the intruders? " No one died"... A very distorted perspective,and you should remind yourself of how the courts would treat armed robbery where no one was actually shot dead.

A government takeover by a military junta is the quintessential " violence" . Someone holding a gun to your head doesn't have to pull the trigger for it to be violence.

Exactly the description given by the 43 year old about 71 year old gamma ray burst! ????

A good reader should never feel intimidated by the literary tool of Stream of Conciousness. In my opinion, James Joyce is second only to Dostoevsky. So then, why do so many readers fail to wade through Ulysses, to the bitter end? Obviously, you can't just pay USD250,000.00 to have somebody read James Joyce, for you, and expect a FREE RIDE. Any billionaire fool can buy a one-way ticket to the bottom of the ocean. But, how much time does it require to read 250 good books? And then, to read them again? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind. Why? Because, as we know from reading The New Yorker, the end of organized human civilization... is nigh. Who are the guys in charge of our world, these days? Obviously, the guys in charge of our world, today, share many of the same personality traits as the guys who boarded the Titon. How long, how many years, has it been since you first watched the theater showing of Strangelove? Almost 60 years. I loved, above all, Miss Foreign Affairs. Miss Foreign Affairs was my second awakening, just after having read Fanny Hill. Even to this day, in black and white, I can still recall every inch of her body not covered by that journal. Those were the days when Foreign Affairs was printed on very expensive paper, with a grey cover and black type. These days, the writing in Foreign Affairs has been completely dumbed down to about the 8th-grade level. So, I just wonder. How low can we go? For example,... Yesterday, I tried to read The Taming of The Shrew, just because I was seeking advice concerning how to handle my Thai landlady. But, after having watched three years of UTUBE, during the pandemic, I quickly found that, even, Shakespeare was no longer accessible to me. Most people on this forum, if you really want to know the truth, as Haulden Caulfield might have said, are smarter than I. But I just wish I knew which are which. "Pithy". There’s another word to consider. Perhaps you’re still stuck on "verbose" and "loquacious " ? I’m sure you’ll get there finally..

i forgot Don’t fret,so has Tom !

Or the Titanic? A little more topical and perhaps closer to the fate awaiting you here..?

A couple of words you might consider introducing to your vocabulary: " Concise - Succinct".... ????

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

You've not heard of the placebo effect..? ????

Thanks for the tip. I've quickly gazumped you and that shiny mercedes is already on my driveway! ????

Indeed that is a weird mixer...

Just look at influencers asv being a modern day Thora Hird descending the stairs on the chair exhorting you to buy a Stanna Stair Lift. Same same... ????
