  1. I have just watched this and found it to be rather enjoyable for something you didn't really have to think about, but what struck me were the similarities between this movie and some of Tarantino's movies, and especially the music in it which could well have been stolen from a Sergio Leone spaghetti western movie, right down to the harmonica and string plucking! Not to mention a priest, a church and a hanging. In fact some of the music soundtrack was so close, I thought it may well have been borrowed! The movie I downloaded was dubbed in English, but it was quite skilfully done and didn't detract from the actual movie itself.
  2. "describing biden's pay for play in detail" Unfortunately for you, there is absolutely no evidence of "Biden's pay for play" and if there was, I'm sure it would be seized upon and used to its fullest to denigrate a president who supposedly "stole the election", but nothing is forthcoming, other than you saying that "a document exists"........ well so does the Magna Carta. As others have said and I tried to convey in my previous post, you've got nothing (again).
  3. Yep......bull dropping and some. It would appear from the posts of SunnyinBangrak that he is a severely disgruntled trumpie and would dearly love to find some evidence to back up all of the rubbish he posts, but up until now, he has none, so all we're going to get is more rubbish and nonsense. I hear that Putin is looking for a new PR person – – perhaps he should apply, as truth and facts are not a priority for that position.
  4. I needed to test some new settings on my Sony TV, especially in relation to playing downloaded movies, so I watched one that I have already watched three times, called, "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" and this time round I came to a conclusion which I hadn't in previous viewings........ Although Peter Sellers was a talented actor, he was also a spoilt childlike person, who described himself as, "an empty shell with no personality, so he can fit anyone into it that he wants", or words that affect. The conclusion I came to was that he was a spoilt, selfish, arrogant yet insecure person, and he was also an r...sole of gigantic proportions. For anyone who hasn't seen it, Geoffrey Rush who plays Peter Sellers and several other roles, is magnificent.
  5. So true Patong2, so very true!
  6. I agree with most of what you say HP, although it's not that I can't live life in Patong to its/my fullest, is just that I don't want to! The days of barhopping and drinking to excess, which was most evenings unfortunately, as well as talking nonsense to bar girls and listening to the same, if indeed they could speak English, coupled with staying out till 2 or 3 am are just things I don't want to do these days, even though I could if I wanted to (I think)! My needs and wants have changed and I only drink wine these days, with just the occasional beer, and I'm more than happy sitting in and watching a movie. What I'm trying to say is I could go on the rampage in Patong if I wanted to, but I don't want to!!!!! Hence agreeing with your comment about "changing needs and wants".
  7. @MajesticZebra I think Sheryls answer is the one you should follow.
  8. On the website at the top it has links you can click on to get more info/contact them......I have found them very helpful, so ask for more details there.
  9. Well it's already been proven that there were documents from the WH, in Mar-a-lago, so I don't know where you're coming from with your comment about a "continual witchhunt", because it is a fact, and hopefully trump will be punished accordingly. Of course the trumpies and Maga-nuts will continue with their comments about a "witchhunt" and "nonsense" even if trump is found guilty, or even better, jailed.
  10. I'm quite partial to quail eggs when they are featured in the salad bars at supermarkets, but can't really understand why they are killed for their meat – – I remember eating in a French style restaurant in London and thought I would try quail as an entrée, and by the time they had skinned it and deboned it then cooked it, there wasn't really much to eat, and I could have almost put it on a desert spoon to eat it. Made me wonder why go through the trouble to cook it?
  11. I agree with you because I thought it was a very good series, and Ben Whishaw was excellent, just as he was in the TV series starring Hugh Grant, called, "a Very English Scandal", where he was able to play the gay role well, although not outwardly so, with a sort of innocence/naïveté mixed in (although he is in fact gay). A very talented actor.
  12. Did you get the private message I sent you......it has a Thai/English Will form attached??
  13. Stewart Rhodes should be locked up for life because he is a danger to civilised society..........but then again this is the USA!
  14. When pigs fly You are asking the impossible of trump supporters, because they still believe his lies about the election being stolen, so they live in an alternate universe, and the oath keepers are just another bunch of nut jobs who are either too dumb to see that they're being taken for a ride, or just plain simpleminded.
  15. It is still a lively place for the recents and newcomers, but now being here for nearly 17 yrs it has lost its appeal for me........as the song goes; "The thrill has gone"!!
  16. As a bit of a time filler I downloaded a documentary called, "Fall of Japan in colour" and I was surprised because there was so much about it I didn't know – – for instance the US and allied fleet which sailed in the Pacific to liberate some of the islands and also sail into the Philippines was the largest ever. The film/doco was shot by an English photographer who became friendly with Gen MacArthur, so he got all the scoops so to speak. It did show the bombs dropping on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and I remember going to the Nagasaki peace Park a few years ago, and it was both jawdropping and almost unimaginable, and it made me feel very sad and fearful of what we can do to one another. Having said that, I do remember watching doco a few years back which also showed some awful scenes about, "The rape of Nanking" (by the Japanese) and also reading the book which had some really gory pics in it – – newborn babies on the end of bayonets for example, and pregnant women sliced open (won't say anymore because I'm sure you get the picture). So it appears that humans from any race are capable of unthinkable atrocities.
  17. This is a good suggestion because the research I have done, albeit not too much, does suggest that a doubling up of antibiotics can get rid of MG. And although I'm not a fan of fluoroquinolones, having had a bad case of Achilles tendinitis after taking it for two weeks, as Sheryl has said, the percentage of people who it affects is very small..... What percentage of people have a bad reaction to Cipro? These serious side effects can happen in less than 1 in 100 people. Stop taking ciprofloxacin and tell your doctor or contact 111 straight away if you have: muscle weakness, pain or swelling in your joints or tendons.

  18. The people who "openly advocated" not to raise the debt ceiling are probably in the same camp as the MAGA people, and just as unintelligent.
  19. Yes they do have a propensity for doing that, but they do much worse, as a while back before Covid, I was sitting in Starbucks and a Chinese guy took off his shoes, put his feet on the table and started to clip his toenails, with the discarded bits flying everywhere. So I alerted the manager who was absolutely mortified, and both he and I berated this pig, however putting feet on the table is quite commonplace for these mongrels, and several times I've told them to take them off the table. Add to that the woman who decided that her child needed a dump there and then, and let him do it just outside of the café, on the footpath and in full view of the patrons, when there was a toilet facility just metres away. I have no time for them whatsoever.
  20. Well I wouldn't know because I'm not a "left-leaning person", however if she feels like a banana then, she is a banana! But it's quite obvious that she's a nut job, so take from that what you will.
  21. There are some good multivitamins out there and Centrum is one of them, however there are plenty around if you care to look for them, however if you are following a balanced diet (whatever balanced means) then good on you.
  22. A very loud Klaxon horn might do the trick BTH, as this aparatus is almost as big as my car (Swift)!!
  23. Another study on Multivitamins has shown that they can be beneficial.................... "Multivitamin supplementation slowed cognitive decline in older adults, the COSMOS-Webopens in a new tab or window study showed. Compared with placebo, participants who took a daily multivitamin/multimineral supplement had significantly better immediate recall at 1 year (P=0.025) and across 4 years of follow-up on average (P=0.011), reported Adam Brickman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York City, and co-authors in the American Journal of Clinical Nutritionopens in a new tab or window. Multivitamins improved memory performance above placebo by the equivalent of 3.1 years of age-related memory change, the researchers estimated. The effect was more pronounced in people with underlying cardiovascular disease".
