xylophone

Many thanks Bill and good to know that "pub street" is still alive and kicking as the saying goes, as I ate there afew times and thought it was very good! Now how about the cost of accomodation........a one bedroom apartment, for example, or something similar? Last but not least, what are the medical facilities like, as I am 77 years old so may have the need forthem in the near future.....thanks for yor help. Xylo.

I occasionally think about moving to Siam Reap to finish my retirement, as when I visited there a few years ago I thought it was a nice place with very friendly people. However I did read somewhere that it has been spoilt somewhat by the Chinese......your thoughts on that would be appreciated (by PM if you wish). Thanks.

As well as that he is plain DUMB.....and the orange makeup suits him!!

I was lucky because the antibiotics and the PPIs cured mine in 2 to 3 weeks, even though I had to take 2 different antibiotics, clarithromycin and amoxicillin as I recall.

But did the treatment cure your H Pylori?

He certainly was and he presided over and achieved a healthy and robust economy, whilst the orange buffoon hasn't got a clue!!

I bet he didn't put tariffs on orange make up, blond hair dye or eyeliner!!!! LOL.

Yep....he is certainly heading there, if not already there:- One person took to X, formerly Twitter, to say: "Trump stumbles going up the stairs of Marine 1. Age and weight are catching up to him. In about a year, they'll have to hoist him in there with a bovine sling and a crane." While a second person commented: "Trump has bruises on his hands, he drags his leg and is stumbling on the f****** stairs, clown boy is falling apart. You know the media would be all over this if President Biden were falling with bruises and <deleted>." A third person agreed, adding: "Wow. The media would lose their minds if this was Biden. Don't expect them to cover it.

Cannot believe that such ignorance exists in this day and age..........you need help, and some.

Countries will turn to other markets/suppliers if they feel that they are being treated unfairly, as has happened before............. In 2018, China imposed tariffs on US soybeans, and in 2019, it suspended the import licenses of several US firms, citing phytosanitary issues, further restricting imports. As a result, China turned to other suppliers, notably Brazil, to meet its soybean demand, leading to a decline in US soybean exports to China. The trade war and subsequent tariffs caused significant losses for US soybean farmers, who saw their exports to China, a major market, severely curtailed.

Where can I find that show?? Thank you.

“The penguins have been ripping us off for years,” Anthony Scaramucci, who was Trump’s former communications chief for 11 days in his first term and is now a vocal critic, joked on X. Trump is a doofus, but the world, apart from those in the Maga cult, already knew this!!! As for your comment.....trump won the largest popular vote in History. Lay off the Maga Koolaid because it has affected what little piece of grey matter you have; for the record....... The number of electoral votes Trump won ranks in the middle of the pack for elections since 1960 and.....In 2024, Trump finished with the 7th highest share of the vote for an out-of-power party's nominee Also, Trump won the popular vote by a relatively small margin. If all you have is the retelling of trump's lies, then you are a sad case and you've got nothing!!

Hitting penguins where it hurts: Trump’s tariffs target remote island. “The penguins have been ripping us off for years,” Anthony Scaramucci, who was Trump’s former communications chief for 11 days in his first term and is now a vocal critic, joked on X. Trump is a doofus, but the world, apart from those in the Maga cult, already knew this!!!

Market economists consider protectionism and the distortion of market competition to be among the key failings of last century’s socialist policies. It’s odd to see the great capitalist champion Trump and the Republicans (the party of Ronald Reagan) pursuing a failed socialist policy. Since the 1980s, a large consensus of economists has argued freer trade has resulted in greater global economic growth. Trump seems to believe in American exceptionalism and the idea it can grow its economy better in isolation. Perhaps he’ll have some short-term success wielding US political might in this fashion. History (and classical economics) suggests it won’t work in the long run.

Also one of my favourite actors and to this day I still reckon that his portrayal of Doc Holliday in the movie "Tombstone" was marvellous. Saddened to hear of his passing, but with a voice box and a feeding tube in his throat, he was always going to be suspect to various infections, sadly.

This is one of your best jokes and is so out of whack with reality.......thanks for the laugh:- "Trump riffs on stage like Hendrix. He is one of the greatest narrators and raconteurs the world has known" LOL The man is a brainless bogan who has trouble finishing a sentence and your comment about him being one of the greatest narrators the world has known is a doozy......you need to get out more and of course read a lot more, if you can, that is!!

Good to see that they are teaching this in schools now..................

If what you posted was "reality" then you shouldn't be allowed out!!! LOL.

You obviously don't understand how the economy works......but then how could you, being one of trumps favourite people LOL!

So sad that you are so far down the rabbit hole and are one of trump's "favourite people" that truth doesn't exist for you..... While Trump dismisses the notion, the economy he inherited from Democrat Joe Biden was robust, with low unemployment, slowing inflation, and above-trend growth, investment and consumption. Lots of lovely charts and graphs that prove trump inherited an all round robust economy which he is destroying through his ignorance…..open the link and weep!! https://www.reuters.com/data/tracking-trumps-economy-2025-01-27/

Not according the the facts and statistics it wasn't, but then the Maga crew have to lie to support their hatred of the Dems and out of love for the orange buffoon.......really sad, but that's the truth of it.

Sadly, corruption is ingrained in Thai society, endemic if you like, and I don't see that ever changing unless someone like Lee Kuan Yew takes the helm in Thailand, but as I said.......corruption is endemic here so no chance of that happening, sadly.

Surely a rhetorical question lordgrinz, as you have surely been around Thailand long enough to know that fat brown envelopes often rule the day with regards to construction projects and just about everything else which goes on here!
