Indian Man Caught At Airport Trying To Smuggle Controlled Wildlife
xylophone replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
About the size of a small shipping container I would think! What an lowlife idiot. -
I've got a couple of these silicone egg poachers, and I can't get consistent results with them, and as the lady in the video says, it can take six minutes and probably best with the lid on, but.............now having seen the 50 second microwave video, the silicone jobbies will be confined to the back of the cupboard. I was also told to smear the inside of the silicone cups with a little butter or oil – – none of that necessary now, so thank you for the tip, @KhunLA.

The Official Manchester United Thread
xylophone replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Football forum
No, I'm not sad about it, because I know nothing whatsoever about the player or his capabilities/abilities on the football field! What I am pretty sure about is that the malaise which is afflicting United at the moment, will not be solved by just one or two new players. However any new players have to be better than the majority of the current players – – so it's a bit of potluck really. -

Maybe it's because there are a lot of "old white guys in Thailand" (or elsewhere for that matter) who care about truth and honesty and would like to see a government in place that is for the people, rather than a government led by a grifter who is only in it for himself. The "old white guys in Thailand" you speak of are probably not driven by the "WIIFM" (what's in it for me) mantra that the orange clown is, and just want to see fair play, honesty and accountability – – not too hard to understand is it! -

I don't know that the so-called "hatred" of trump is "insane", but then again I could say, "what's not to hate?". The man is a proven crook, a liar, a cheat and is absolutely two-faced when it comes to making sure that he benefits from anything he gets into – –this for example: – "A judge orders President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle a suit by New York’s attorney general alleging he misused his Trump Foundation charity to help his 2016 presidential campaign". And so much more that it is difficult to understand how rational folk can support this conman. -

They think that people who believe that the election was rigged or stolen are nut-jobs. Every effort or law suit or argument to suggect that the election was stolen has been thrown out by lawyers and rational people and only the dumb believe the "stolen" election lie...........surely you are not in that camp, are you! -

Just goes to show that you have missed the irony of the statements from the orange clown. Never mind, keep trying to understand!! -
The Official Manchester United Thread
xylophone replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Football forum
I can't agree with the OGS comment, because IMO his stay at United was a major factor in them being exactly where they are at the moment, floundering. And when you consider the players that he signed...Jadon Sancho £73m, Amad, Alex Telles, Facundo Pellestri £8m, Donny van de Beek £35m, Odion Ighalo, Harry Maguire £80m, Aaron Wan-Bissaka £54m and Dan James £16m, his success with the signings was minimal, although the financial outlay wasn't. Also IMO, his management style was not what was needed for the manager of United, and his tactical nous with regards to team selection and layout, was also lacking. Cannot lay everything wrong at United at the feet of OGS, but he has to take responsibility for a lot of it. Having said that, I think the rot set in before he got there, and he was just another mistake on their part. -

Good to see that even a trump supporter recognises exactly what trump is, a buffoon! And therefore not hard to draw some logic on the fact that anyone who votes for a buffoon, is not exactly the most intelligent voter in the world! Worst president ever, and one that was convicted of stealing over $2 million to fund his campaign, and as for normalising relationships with North Korea, all he did was to build up the ego of this despicable creature, so I hope all of the investigations into him and his activities bear fruit, and he gets his just rewards in prison. -

xylophone replied to Scott's topic in World News
A nice ramble, but you've missed an important point here and that is, that trump is dumb and is only semiliterate, so no matter what is put in front of him or explained to him, he wouldn't have a clue, and as for being a "resource" well that is laughable. Fact is he removed confidential/classified documents from the White House without getting the necessary, and much explained on this thread, clearance/sign off procedure to do so – – plain, pure and simple -

Ah, that's it then, trump followers see him as some sort of "God Oracle" who only has to speak something and it is true and done.........explains a lot with his cult following, but sad all the same. -

It is pretty obvious that the trump supporters on this thread/forum do not want to understand the severity of what trump has done, something which has been proven by the fact that documents have been found at his fortress. I can see no other reason than the fact that they are lying to themselves or lack the ability to understand what is written down in US law. If that is the case, then all of the great posts by many folks on here, including @Walker88, @placeholder and @Chomper Higgot, to name just a few, are in vain, a bit like casting pearls to swine. The trump supporters here are indeed a lost cause. The only concern I have, and one which they are hoping will come to fruition, is that even if the lard tub is found guilty of any one of a number of charges, that the powers that be do not have the cojones to jail him because they fear what his right-wing nut jobs will do, which is a sad indictment of where the US is at this moment in time. -

I have had my Suzuki Swift since 2012 and think it is just a wonderful car, and as someone else has said, has great roadholding, so although I don't use it around town much, but I do trips around the island in it and thoroughly enjoy driving it. It was the top of the range model and is a peppy little car if one wants to drive it like that, as it does have a sports mode, and the acceleration still surprises me sometimes! I can't fault it, nor can I fault the local Suzuki dealer, so if I were to consider buying another car, I would certainly go for the new model Swift again. Just thought I would mention that at the moment I do about 14 km to the litre of gasoline, and as I've only done about 38,000 km in it, it will probably see me out, as the saying goes! Best decision I ever made was buying that car.

MTG is a screaming far right nutjob and the fact that she is in the house of Representatives speaks volumes about the mental state of the people who put her there. -
Welcome back to Patong, and following on from your post, on Friday evening I went out with four friends for a lovely meal at Blue Beach Café and Restaurant, and after that decided to explore Bangla Road, and it was very busy, probably the busiest I've seen it since before Covid! To cut a long story short regarding my visit: – – Bangla Road was very busy. – Kangaroo Bar was packed to overflowing. – Bar Funk was about 50% full, which was good considering its recent level of patronage. – Soi Freedom was a mess and full of small bars and other spaces which didn't seem to know what they wanted to be – – bar/café/eating place/whatever, as well as average looking women and lady boys. A sad demise from previous times. – Black Horse bar had a few people in it, mostly sitting outside, probably because the music was so loud and thumping. – Ended up at Red Hot which was only about 30% full and also was shocked to be charged 230 baht for half glass of wine!! Overall, as Patong2 has said, "things definitely looking busier....... ". And I do remember the Kris Kristofferson song!

He should be charged with being a dumb, useless and cheating liar, but because he's always been like this, maybe it would be hard to make it stick, mainly because it would show how broken the USA is in electing an idiot like this as president. I'm sure that the FBI and whomever else is investigating this clown will be able to find something to nail him on. There comes a time when the sins of the past, and recent past catch up on someone, and it's all happening around trump. -

Vandeventer posted:- It will only Triger a civil war if you leftist cheat at voting again, and Putin and Xi feared Trump, that's why they waited for the soft on everything President to come in. My, oh my, never thought I would see the day when trumpists were actually dumb enough to post something like this, and it makes me believe, even more so than before, that the USA is in dire straits with absolute rubbish like this still doing the rounds. Unbelievable. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
xylophone replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Just downloaded and watched a movie called, "Prisoners" and it's nothing to do with prisoners behind bars per se, more to do with a kidnapping. The movie was made in 2013 and stars Hugh Jackman, Jake Gillenghal and Terrence Howard amongst others and I may have seen snippets of it before, however was so pleased that I watched it because it's different and exciting, and the ending is one that I would never have guessed in a million years. Also watched recently released movie, "Prey" and its sort of prequel to the "Predator" movies, set in America in the early 1700s and features members of the Comanche nation, and although not outstanding, IMO it was a good watch. -

Words straight out of the orange liar's mouth, and spoken more than once.........yet here he is a few years later taking the Fifth Amendment. It is to laugh.
