  1. And will never last.........that man was a part of Al Qaeda and that he should be praised by a US President is absolutely unbelievable.
  2. Furthermore, trump called the new Syrian Pres "a young attractive, tough guy with a very strong past". That past was killing US troops as well as civilians, women and children. He was in Al Qaeda and the US put a $10 million bounty on his head. The problem is that trump is a brainless moron and is incapable of rational thought or controlling his motormouth.
  3. And just to add to that....... "Senator Dick Durbin rips into MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi for greenlighting the shockingly corrupt $400 million luxury jet bribe that Qatar is giving to Donald Trump — says that it "clearly violates the Constitution...........This entire debacle represents the most stunning demonstration of blatant corruption in American history".
  4. Thanks GOM and maybe I will do another "Bangla Prowl" when my friend returns from Malaysia in a couple of weeks, but until then it will be a fairly frequent supermarket prowl which has proven fruitful in the past!!
  5. This post from Johng..........Here I'll mess with your head a bit the "Covid" came from a lab funded by Fauci and Co. they already had it and the "vaccine" patented before the "accidental" release even better there were and are effective medications to treat the "Covid" and therefore the mandating of therapies was unethical and unlawful , the day that these criminals responsible see their day in court can't come soon enough. This won't please the above poster or the other conspiracy theorists on here............... Genetic study retraces the origins of coronaviruses in bats….. As China and the United States trade charges of a lab leak, researchers contend in a new paper that the Covid pandemic got its start, like a previous one, in the wildlife trade. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/genetic-study-retraces-the-origins-of-coronaviruses-in-bats/GGSBQKCOM5DGVDB5DLHAQL23JA/ Occam's razor anyone??
  6. Now that sounds interesting @AgMech Cowboy as I had read that magnesium citrate would work, so I ordered some capsules online, but they haven't had any effect, however there is only a small amount in each capsule so quite probably not enough to make a difference – – SO what size helping do you use and how to use it (mixed with a tumbler of water etc?). Thanks in advance.
  7. Is this on the torrent sites like 1337x.to ??
  8. Well I'm still here in Patong and still alive, although still suffering from the occasional dizzy spell from being thrown off the back of a motorbike taxi, although my fractured coccyx has obviously healed but a few months of inactivity to help it do so, has resulted in some muscle wastage in my glutes (I think that's what they call them) so walking long distances is out of the question, as it becomes quite painful if I do. Having said that I did manage to catch up with a couple of friends at Blue Beach Café and Restaurant, really to say goodbye to a Canadian friend who was departing Patong however it's almost certain that he will be back here. He did own a bar here at one time, but that's another story Although there were a lot of people in Bangla, it was "walking traffic" and a few of the bars looked a little devoid of customers although a few were relatively busy. However I didn't stay long as I'm not a beer drinker per se, so after a meal and a couple of drinks in Bangla, I was walking/stumbling/shuffling my way back to my condo, which I only just managed to do. Thank goodness Patong has quietened down somewhat although I obviously feel sorry for the local small businesses because of their lack of custom, but then again the high and low seasons have been like this since time immemorial here. On the subject of businesses, it would appear that many Thai folk still do not have much in the way of business nous/sense and one case in particular stands out...... the joint owner of a reasonably profitable small massage and beauty shop in a small Soi where there is quite a bit of foot traffic, has decided to open another shop on her own and she has chosen to open a small shop in a small cul-de-sac at the south end of Nanai Road!! It's an area I know well because I lived just opposite the new shop and there is absolutely no foot traffic or any traffic come to that, so IMO it is destined to fail, and it would be no more than 20 m away from another small massage shop which has failed several times, which is next to a small laundry which has failed several times, which is next to a small shop of some description which has failed several times and has now been closed for many months – – you get the drift. Now for something completely different (as the saying goes) the local elections have just finished and I was surprised to learn that one particular candidate was offering 1000 baht per vote, whilst another candidate was offering 5000 baht per vote – – corruption, who said that? I asked one of the voters who had voted for the 5000 baht option and she had no qualms about it saying that it wasn't her fault if somebody was offering her money to vote a certain way, so she gladly took it! Ah, TIT, for all its faults and pleasures, just doesn't seem to change. I caught up with an old friend at Starbucks in Jungceylon and we were discussing the new "Patongo" area and how it seemed as useless as "tits on a bull" (an old Kiwi expression) because I'd never seen more than a handful of people in it and it's not inviting at all, so what it's supposed to be I don't know. However he informed me that it was built with Chinese money (Chinese investors) so someone has made a killing on that spare piece of land and IMO I doubt whether it will ever take off. Unfortunately nothing exciting to post about, mainly because I don't get out and about much in the evenings these days, and especially because I have stopped my singing sessions at Red Hot, which I used to enjoy, so any feedback from the night-time activities from yours truly has ceased, however one can read about the brawls, thugs and untoward goings-on in ASEAN NOW!!! Finally, as others have said in previous posts, this place has taken a turn for the worst over the last few years, sad to say.
  9. I downloaded "The Accountant 2" as I liked the original movie very much indeed, however this was nowhere near it and was, IMO, a mishmash of a movie which was all over the place and had none of the "intrigue" of the original. Also it looked like Ben Affleck was simply walking through the movie to get a paycheck and as for the plot – – couldn't really find it!
  10. I did look for the app in the app store but couldn't find it and I don't have WiFi on my old series 5 iPhone.....will have another look/try tomorrow, thanks.
  11. Looked at it but have to download an app onto my mobile and also have the Scan capability on the phone, so it becomes a no-no for me, thanks anyway.
  12. Thanks for that info and I have just ordered some and will give them a try. I have tried just about everything mentioned on this thread apart from standing on a vibrating plate and I have to abide by what I was told many years ago at the BUPA hospital in London – – that I have a slow digestive system, and it seems to be the long and short of it. No amount of fibre, psyllium husk, or any other fibrous foods seem to make much of a difference and the only thing that does is if I combine prune juice and sorbitol liquid, but as I mentioned before it's a pretty vicious method of clearing one out. Many nights of the week I will have half a head of raw broccoli, accompanied by tomatoes and olive oil as a side salad for my dinner, and I thought the broccoli would help, especially being raw, but no it doesn't. I've also tried dates and prunes and once drank half a bottle of Milk Of Magnesia out of desperation, but to no avail. So the Wild Dose capsules as mentioned by @3NUMBAS will be my last try and after that..........................? PS. I've also tried the bum gun method with a little success on occasion.
  13. Yes that why he was elected president , three (3) times. If proof were needed as to the gullibility of the Maga cult followers, then here it is:- Elected president 3 times????? (stop drinking the Kool Aid and believing his lies, or better still, see someone about your condition). And he is a billionaire because of daddy's money, his lying and grifting and because of his gullible cult followers of which you are one. LOL!!
  14. Related to this thread is the "movement" to discredit Dr Fauci 'Misinformation': Claims of charges against Fauci debunked “Boom!!! Global hunt launched: New Zealand charges Fauci with 107,357 counts of negligible homicide,” an April 21 Facebook post from a New Zealand-based user said. The post added that 14 nations “have issued international arrest warrants” for Fauci, including Brazil, South Africa, Italy, Hungary and the Philippines. “He’s now viewed as the mastermind of medical tyranny. His fingerprints are on lockdowns, forced injections, censorship, and mass psychological warfare. Now, he’s facing the fire.” A keyword search found the claim appears to have originated from an article published on April 6 on the website AMG-News, which has previously promoted misinformation. However, the article does not cite any sources from New Zealand or from the other countries mentioned in the social media posts. There would appear to be no end the stupidity of these anti-vax nut jobs
  15. Still very relevant now................ https://i.imgflip.com/5d5fny.jpg
  16. Well Done @richard_smith237 and as for your last para I have previously stated that these Anti-vax nutters don't seem to understand that to believe their "conspiracy theories" it would mean that many tens of thousands of Scientists, professors, universities, researchers and anyone else involved in this field of medicine are lying, and I won't buy into this crap.
  17. trump's head is an empty vessel, so Mark Carney would have found nothing in there!!!
  18. Way back on AN when a topic on Israel/Gaza was started, I posted that perhaps the only solution for Israel would be to raze Gaza to the ground.........a few folks did not like that post, but perhaps it will now come to fruition??
  19. Keep drinking the Kool Aid and believing that Truth Social is a paragon of truth and virtue, as a mouthpiece of the cult leader.......yeah right dude!! LOL.
  20. My "meds" consist of reality, intelligence and common sense......enough to know that these preclude any Maga trumpie and MTG as well as many others in trump's administration, so I'll stck with what I've got, but you may want to seek help!
  21. I think it is made by the same company fredwiggy, but would still like to get hold of some!
  22. Far from being awesome, she is a nut job par excellence and really needs to be "committed" or put on some very strong medication.
  23. Thank you for your most detailed reply Fredwiggy, much appreciated, however I was really trying to get hold of the "FyboCalm" product as I have tried almost literally, everything, including those detailed in your post, at one time or another. One which was mentioned on here a while ago and it seemed to work for me was one by "Posh Medica", which contains tamarind powder, psyllium husk, chlorella powder and many others and it worked until it didn't, so having tried just about all of the others, I thought I'd give the one mentioned by @3NUMBAS a go. I sometimes have to revert to my tried and trusted method, which I had to just a couple of days ago having been constipated for almost 5 days, which is a large glass of the Sunsweet prune juice to which I add a couple of dessert spoons of liquid sorbitol – – the problem with this is that it's effects are varied and range from gentle relief to something akin to a hurricane! It's also worth mentioning that folks have different passage times of food through their system i.e. "It takes about 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon. All in all, the whole process — from the time you swallow food to the time it leaves your body as feces — takes about two to five days, depending on the individual". So perhaps I worry too much about not being that "regular"?.
  24. I can't find anywhere that will ship to Thailand??
  25. I am also not religeous at all but I thought it was an excellent movie, and as Rimmer says, the acting is superb.
