  1. And trump is weak and all mouth and trousers, as the saying goes. Then trump posts this on his "Lies Social" esp for the cult follwers..... “What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realise is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!” Trump said on his Truth Social network. What a load of "bollards"; just trump spouting off as he likes to do. Trump did not specify what the “really bad” things were, or make any specific threats. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment by AFP. He told reporters on Monday he was “absolutely” considering increasing sanctions on Moscow. His predecessor, Joe Biden, imposed sweeping sanctions after Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, but Trump has so far avoided what he says could be “devastating” sanctions on Russian banks........why is that one wonders?? Not thought it through; has a financial incentive in not doing so; Putin has something over him; or just a plain coward and an idiot to boot. Take your pick.......
  2. I'm not sure if this has been covered already, and as I don't want to trawl through loads of other posts about a replacement for Skype, I thought I would post this here – – – I have signed up for "mytello" and paid for a minimum subscription just to test it out, and so far it's been excellent and I have called both mobile and landlines in the UK, NZ and Australia and there have been no glitches and the clarity is great, so I believe I can recommend it. In addition it doesn't seem to be that expensive, just a few baht or less than one baht per minute.
  3. One could say that Putin had trump and Kellogg for breakfast!
  4. Me neither because I have first-hand experience of this whole corrupt business. There was a large house on a double section, opposite where I lived in a secluded Soi in Patong which was owned by a Thai Chinese guy and he had a few guys working for him who would import and store cheap Chinese made knockoffs in his outbuilding, which would then be distributed to the small shops which sold these fakes He imported them and was the major provider of such goods in Patong and I wondered how we got away with it until I saw him sitting on his porch/veranda with a couple of high-ranking police officials, sharing a drink with them. The visit lasted about an hour and nothing changed, especially as a short while later a truck pulled up and started offloading these fake goods into the outbuilding. Here, it's not what you know, it's who you know and how big the brown envelope is.
  5. OOPS my bad.....the movie, "What Dreams May Come" was directed by Vincent Ward, another NZ Director who also produced a film that I liked, called, "The Navigator", and not by Peter Jackson!
  6. I thought the movie was very good also........give it a go!!
  7. A few posts back someone mentioned the documentary, "They shall not grow old" and I have seen it and IMO it is very good, and that also leads me onto some other Peter Jackson movies which you may or may not have seen, and I post this mainly because I think he is an excellent director and not only because of his "Lord of the Rings" movies. The two movies I particularly like of his are one made in the late 90s, called "What Dreams may Come", starring Robin Williams and I have to admit that one of my favourites is, "The Lovely Bones" which stars Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci and Saoirse Ronan. If you haven't seen them, I urge you to give them a try!! And I'm going to do the same again!!
  8. I suffered from either prostatitis or BPH for decades and was never quite clear what it was, although large and long doses of one or two antibiotics seemed to do the trick, until it/they didn't! It wasn't until I got in touch with a couple of professors who were working on this very subject that I found relief with a regimen of the antibiotics they prescribed, so it was prostatitis one way or another. However over this time, I was prescribed tamsulosin and others to help alleviate my symptoms and along with that I tried just about every other remedy (herbal and otherwise including Beta Sitosterol) and nothing worked, so I had a TURP done at the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne, and it has certainly not been plain sailing since that time. Latterly I researched other options for BPH and came to the conclusion that if I was to have my time over again I would choose the Urolift procedure or possibly the iTind procedure, both of which are fairly non-invasive and don't actually require surgery. Good luck with whatever you decide and once you go for something like a TURP, there is no turning back, so choose carefully. https://youtu.be/e20Ak49YD6E?feature=shared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20Ak49YD6E&ab_channel=UroLift https://www.prostatelasercenter.com/blog/difference-prostatitis-vs-bph/
  9. Many, many thanks to the folks who replied to my request regarding Bluetooth headphones, and I've now got all of the information I need to be able to make a decision, which I will do very shortly. Thank you for taking the time to reply, those who did.👍
  10. Just watched it and it was an amalgam/mish mash of the likes of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Romancing the Stone and others and nowhere near as good. In fact I struggled to stay with it for the duration....a score of 5 out of 10 for me.
  11. He said at a Pennsylvania rally later that month: “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we all together win the presidency, we will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be settled. The war is going to be settled. I’ll get them both – I know Zelensky, I know Putin, it’ll be done within 24 hours, you watch. They all say, ‘That’s such a boast.’ It will be done very quickly.” Sorry about having to repeat part of your post, SM007, but I thought it was necessary to really show what an idiot trump is, but then again his MAGA goons will still worship him and believe everything that this compulsive liar says – – how stupid can they be.
  12. Trump Privately Concedes Putin Unwilling to End Ukraine War!! So the "master negotiator" (Trump) has failed again despite promising his MAGA goons that he would end the war in 24 hours, a statement which is proved to be a total load of BS as, has often been said, Putin has been playing with Trump, it's just that Trump is too dumb to know it. Either that or Putin has told Donny boy to back off, or he will release the pics of him being "entertained" by a few high-class hookers in Russia! Poor, sad, dumb Donny.
  13. Thanks to your post, I ordered some magnesium citrate from Spoon Lab and it arrived a couple of days ago, so I tried one desert spoonful before bed the first night, but to no avail, so last night I tried a tablespoon size helping in a large glass of water, followed by some more water........and the results were a complete emptying, some of it under pressure, but at least I was cleared out (I think). I certainly feel a lot better after that and now I've got to decide when to use it, i.e. taken on a regular basis to help with motility, or wait until I think I need it? Anyway @AgMech Cowboy I've got to thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated.
  14. I did see that a while back and thought it was brilliant, but now you've mentioned it again, I will download it and watch it, as with my concussion and memory loss I will probably think I've never seen it before!
