  1. Many decades ago I would meet up with friends in a local pub and drink three or four points of beer. Fast forward to now and I only drink decent red wine, and my intake is about half a bottle per evening with the evening meal, followed by a small glass of port and that's it. Having said that if I were to go out with friends I might end up having one bottle of beer that evening! I have been collecting (and drinking) wine for over 50 years and have refined my tastes, so I'm very choosy about what I buy and collect/drink!
  2. he wasn't happy about them being on ABC because he thinks they are too biased (liberal) Couple of problems with that statement inasmuch as the words, trump and "think" in the same sentence is definitely an oxymoron. It's quite clear that Trump and his team are not on the same planet as everyday/normal people when they consider Fox News as an option, because it's already been proven, by Fox themselves, through their lawyers, that they are not a worthy news channel, and are not to be believed, because they are more "entertainment". The Dominion lawsuit has exposed the network as an entertainment channel...... What we know now is that Fox News isn’t a news organization in any true sense of the word. From top executives and well-paid primetime hosts to supposed objective news anchors, the Dominion lawsuit has exposed the network as an entertainment network masquerading as a news outlet. https://niemanreports.org/articles/fox-dominion-lawsuit/ So Donald appears to have ducked out of this at this moment in time and who knows what nonsense this this strange coloured clown will come up with next?
  3. Wrong again, poor man, as Wikipedia is not considered mainstream media, in fact it is an online encyclopaedia and to add to your enlightenment, "Newspapers, television news networks, cable news, and radio are generally considered mainstream media outlets". I am capable of clear and concise thinking, having started a successful investment division of just under $2 billion, for a major bank, and managing over 40+ staff and thousands of customers, but what I am not, is a supporter of a compulsive liar, thief and felon. Anyway I'm done arguing with a conspiracy theorist and trump cult follower, so from now on, I shall put you on ignore, although I have to say that posts like yours do confirm that a lot of trump supporters are the very kind that he prefers (do your research on that!).
  4. Wow, looks pretty smart. Well done on the modifications. Should ask what they were, if you don't mind.
  5. Thanks....hard to understand how these trumpies/Maga goobers fall for such nonsense, but they do, time and time again.
  6. According to an American political conspiracy theory, the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government. In 2020, many conspiracy theories circulated during the coronavirus pandemic partly because of the increased anxiety, larger number of people staying at home, and greater focus on the Internet and social media outlets.[12][13] One such conspiracy that proliferated from the 2020 Presidential election was QAnon. Opinion polling done in 2017 and 2018 suggests that approximately half of all Americans believe in the existence of an American deep state (very sad). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state_in_the_United_States#:~:text=According to an,United States government. Stop drinking the kool aid you poor easily led trumpie, you really have got it bad......deep state was born of conspiracy theory nonsense. I see the cult is strong within you. PS. As there is no deep state, what exactly is trump going to dismantle?
  7. Once I see the term "deep state" I know that any comments are are a farce. LOL Also to get back to your other comment about the "stolen" election, read on.......so massive fines for Fox for the election lies should be proof enough. Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million and acknowledged the court's earlier ruling that Fox had broadcast false statements about Dominion. The settlement did not require Fox News to apologize. It is the largest known media settlement for defamation in U.S. history. The voting technology company Smartmatic can now move forward with its defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation, a New York judge ruled Wednesday, dealing a blow to the parent company of Fox News, which is already having to pay a huge settlement over its repeated airing of 2020 election lies.
  8. When I was looking to buy a new car I test drove the Nissan March and thought it was very good and put it high on my list of potential purchases, however I then drove the Suzuki Swift and decided upon that one, and have never regretted that decision. If Nissan could produce something akin to the March, then perhaps it would be a good buy, however the Nissan Tiida and Leaf are not my "cup of tea". So when the time comes to change my 12 year old Swift, it will more than likely be for another one!
  9. No, really, you don't say.........my comment was more along the lines of how absurd it would be to have someone this filthy as the chief of a government department. AND I do know that it is a television series, I do know that it is not real, I do know that he is an actor, I do know that it is fiction not fact, it was merely a comment, made sort of tongue in cheek if you wish. But thanks for trying to explain it to me!!!!!!!
  10. Protest all you like, but much research, led by a Rebublican, came to this conclusion (below)...........and Biden won, so get over it, because it is history and trump was a loser. Nov. 19, 2020 Raffensperger, a Republican, announces that due to how slim the vote margin is between Biden and Trump, the state's planned audit will trigger a "full by-hand recount in each county" of the presidential race. The results of Georgia's statewide audit, which entailed that counties recount by hand every vote cast in the presidential race, reaffirm Biden as the winner -- by a margin of 12,284 votes. It's the first time since 1992 that a Democrat will win the state.
  11. I suppose that rules out flying on Thai Airways planes???
  12. Going back into the archives I downloaded and watched "Vice", a movie about Dick Cheney, superbly played by Christian Bale. It is mostly a true story and shows why the US invented the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to invade Iraq....shameful, but a good movie. Also watched a very good movie called "The Courier" with Benedict Cumberbatch playing the key role and playing it VERY well. Lastly, from way back I watched the movie, "Manhunter" which was based on the "Red Dragon" book and first introduced Hannibal Lecter into the movie mainstream. .
  13. I can still buy a tablet of Paracetamol 500mg combined with 30mg of codeine and that works well.
  14. Agree and I am shocked at the number of farangs who have unprotected oral sex on girls they pick up in the street, risking catching the HPV virus and perhaps later, head and/or neck cancer.
  15. Got to say that your post is a perfect summary of the stupidity that is currently looming large in America....the problem is that around 50% of them can't see it!
  16. Yes and I eat it regularly (crystallized ginger). Thanks as you have just reminded me that I am almost out of it! I have tried that, but it had no effect unfortunately. Also I wanted to keep an eye on my triglyceride levels so it was easy to wean myself off it.
  17. I and another poster listed the ingredients in it and I am happy to take it knowing what they are.
  18. What language is "Ya'll".....ah another one of trumps favourite people as he likes the poorly educated. Don't worry as there are plenty of rednecks, Proud Boys and goobers willing to shoot another president or high ranking official as is the way in the "good ole" US of A! And this shooter was a Republican, well, well. I went to a rock concert in London a few decades ago and at the end of a fast paced version of "America" the following words were sung by a young boy.. “America is pregnant with promise and anticipation, but is murdered by the hand of the inevitable”. Make of it what you will, but it has echoes of the truth in it.
  19. So you're trying to tell me that the media is lying about trump and his lies? Therefore are you saying that trump – – – Was not found guilty of stealing/misappropriating $2.1 million from a charity? Was the the media lying? – That around 10 trump companies went into bankruptcy, costing the working American much in the way of wages owed? Was the media lying? – Trump University was a bone fide University and not a scam as was proven? – Was not found guilty of sexual abuse/rape by a jury? And many more, so if you wish to blame the "media" for all of Trump's wrongdoings, then continue to do so because you just will make yourself look even more foolish.
  20. Thanks, and I'm pretty sure I have taken this or its equivalent in the past and interestingly enough it says: – "Macrogol, also known as polyethylene glycol, is used as a medication to treat constipation in children and adults. It is taken by mouth. Benefits usually occur within three days. Generally it is only recommended for up to two weeks". As I said previously nothing has worked in the past, and I doubt I would have waited three days to get a result. In addition I've tried all of the fibre products on the market, including making my own by grinding up linseeds and various other seeds, as well as trying oats, oat bran, psyllium and psyllium husks – – and the list goes on. However if it works for you Lacessit, then more power to your elbow and for now I'm so glad that I found one that works for me and would appear to be perfectly safe. And I echo your thoughts about the Big Pharma conspiracy theorists as so much of what they write and believe is absolute nonsense and I say this with having two medical folk in my family and three friends who are doctors.
  21. Duh.......you might want to use that dictionary a little more often, Petal.
  22. Unfortunately most of this guys relatives became trump supporters......so "smart" is not in their genes and Kamala will have trump on toast!
  23. You really think that a bullet like this will cause a little graze????
  24. You mean the Democracy that his supporters, at his urging, tried to destroy......that Democracy. Stop drinking the Kool Aid and watching Faux Fox News it is not good for you, petal.
