What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
xylophone replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
I finally decided to watch a series that I'd noticed on BBC iPlayer for some time, called "Steeltown Murders" and it was good, although it stretched over four episodes and IMO it could have been completed in three episodes. It takes a little bit of getting used to because it goes backwards and forwards in time from when a detective was investigating the murders of three young girls in and around Port Talbot (Wales) when it actually happened, to 30 years later when the investigation is reopened. Pretty straightforward with some good acting and a little bit of guesswork needed, but all in all a good evening's entertainment. -

What happens if,or when, I die in Thailand?
xylophone replied to JohnOFphon's topic in General Topics
I have sent you a PM. -
He also said:- For hard-working Americans, November 5th will be our new liberation day,” he said. “But for the liars and cheaters and fraudsters and censors and imposters who have commandeered our Government, it will be their judgement day.” So it will be judgement day for the trump crime family and a few of his cohorts.........can't wait for that day......"lordy, lordy".

I have to agree with you on your post, and as I've been living here for 17 years, I've noticed the driving has gotten progressively worse, with it currently being horrendous. As you quite rightly say there is zero enforcement of road rules, with perhaps the occasional police stop on one or two roads, but then again, they also let drivers through who are not wearing crash helmets, and I've seen foreigners drive past these police guys, even when they are signalled to stop, and nothing is done about it. I've been here that long that I can outline the nationalities and their driving habits: – – older farangs who do not wear crash helmets – Thai people who also do not wear crash helmets and who are never stopped by the BIB – French Africans who love to do wheelies, drive way too fast and are a danger to all others on the road, especially as they don't know the road rules. Never seen one of them wearing a crash helmet – Arabs/Middle Eastern (shirtless mostly and without crash helmets) who disregard just about every norm/rule with regards to driving a motorcycle (too fast, weaving in and out of traffic) – Chinese tourists who have no idea whatsoever as to how to ride a motorbike and usually go two up and wobble all over the place whilst they are trying to look at their mobile phones – Russians who have no idea about any road rules and don't even know which side of the road to drive on, and often go the wrong way round roundabouts. If I do drive my motorbike around Patong, I do so very carefully, and for any journey outside of Patong, I use my car. OOPS, something else I forgot to mention is; watch out for Chinese tourists stepping out into the road without looking and fortunately/unfortunately I've clobbered a few of them with the wing mirrors on my car and motorbike, mainly because I couldn't avoid them!! If only the BIB weren't so lazy they could increase their revenue manyfold AND make the roads safer for all.

Blow to Biden as poll shows Trump in lead for 2024 presidential election
xylophone replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
You mean the Afghan withdrawal which trump pushed for and signed the agreement upon; that one? It was the military personnel which were responsible for any stuff up, and they were the same military personnel which served under trump, and if trump hadn't of signed the withdrawal agreement, then none of this would have happened, so sheet it back to the orange blob. -
Opinion: The Case Against Israel Rests on Lies
xylophone replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Sounds simple enough doesn't it, however with Hamas wanting to kill all Jews and wipe Israel off the face of the map, that's highly unlikely to work; on the other hand, Israel's determination to build on Palestinian land creates another flashpoint – – back to the drawing board WD. -
Controversy erupts as Thai doctors clash over mRNA vaccine effect
xylophone replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Dr John Campbell is a nurse educator with the dubious distinction of promoting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as "cures" for Covid 19, which have been disproven time and time again by many doctors and scientists/organisations/hospitals/universities in the medical profession. He switched his narrative from what the medical fraternity were advising, when he realised that he could make more money from promoting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine along with other anti-VAX nonsense. The man is a charlatan and belongs alongside the likes of trump for his lies and misinformation. -
Totally agree and I will again quote this from a great post on AN because it also "hits the nail on the head" in regard to the trumpies... I try not to argue facts with Trump/GOP supporters for the same reason I don't bother trying to teach my dog how to drive a car And the other applicable quote was that haviving a discussion with a trumpie is like playing chess with a pigeon........

The Impeachment's Russia Connection: Unraveling a Fabricated Tale

Ah......Links to false information from the cultists playbook on, "How to Spin Lies so that the Maga nuts will Buy into Them" (and send donations as well as buy sneakers that are made in China). Unbelievable, just how dumb are these people? -
Controversy erupts as Thai doctors clash over mRNA vaccine effect

Agree that more research is needed, and this MAY be a clue as to the effects of "long Covid".......... Researchers believe long Covid sufferers, at least those who experienced severe infections, may never have managed to fully rid their bodies of the virus, allowing it to continue to replicate, or pieces to be retained, even after they had tested negative. This may lead to “persistent activation of the immune system and cause all these chronic symptoms”, Koroshetz said. An NIH study, based on autopsies, found evidence that some who had lost their lives up to 280 days after becoming infected with severe disease had died with active traces of the Covid virus. A longer course of antiviral drugs could help to wipe out any remaining pockets of the virus. A second approach is based on the theory that long Covid is primarily an autoimmune disorder. This suggests sufferers’ immune systems “rev up” to the point where they move from protect to attack mode, weakening healthy cells. Recover investigators will be testing an autoimmune treatment called intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG), which Koroshetz said “resets the immune system and is kind of an immune suppressant”. https://www.ft.com/content/ed17fac5-0af4-432d-ab1b-0a55bc789865 -
