Posted 23 hours ago what would you do with your money now in uk, in times of recession, What money???

Purchased a Hafele 5.7 litre. Am now planning on purchasing an air fryer for my North America sojourns. It works marvellously, but of course I oven cook quite a bit and so it gets used several times a week. I have used it for everything from fries to ribs. Find most meats eg chicken crisp on the outside and juicy inside. The main trick seems to be getting the timing right and shaking or turning the meal half way through. As with most things, you (sometimes) get what you pay for.

T'is confusing. Picked up a new T-shirt. Same size as my others. Found that this years XX is smaller than last years XX, It's over two inches narrower and the arm holes are smaller. Irritating

It seems that the purges have begun. After that rather chilling rant where Putin talked about the necessity of "purity" purges of "True Russian culture" the top people in his military and intelligence services have been arrested for close questioning. It looks like the gulags will become city sized again.

Yeahhhh? I read somewhere that this bizarre display started as a response to Covid. Don't know if that is true, but if so it speaks volumes about his faith in the vaunted Sputnik vaccine. Maybe he doesn't believe that any of his ministers could shoot accurately at that distance.

The old saying goes "It ain't the dog in the fight, it's ................................................." Vlad's getting his ass chewed badly. ???? ???? ????

A walking tour of China, I don't know. I think they should have the choice between the walking tour of Mariupol or the walking tour of Lion Country. Who is doing something for the Ukrainians here???

Maybe they expect the Chinese to continue buying. Sure, they can use the profits from their massive Evergreen investments for collateral. ???? Or maybe the Russians??? Would you take a ruble?? At what value? Be interesting to watch what happens if they ever open up their stock market again. I suspect that it will react like an Otis elevator with the cables cut and the safeties off.

Have tried various "light" beers. While San Miguel is just palatable the rest seem to be just "Sex in a canoe" Were these originally developed for the "People that don't want to get drunk but like to urinate" market ???

You seem to think more highly of them than I do.

Yes, He had it moved to the Kaliningrad enclave..

Now if someone would sneak over and rip open the hull of Putins 100 million dollar yacht the situation would get a lot more close and personal to him.

Pogo said it best: "We have seen the enemy, and they are us."

Try a second opinion or even a third when you find legitimate practioners. Search internationally for someone or some clinic you trust (a bit). Contact them and see if they have a doctor they know or have worked with in the same field of research in Asia. If yes contact the doctor. Be prepared to travel. You are looking for the right physician in an area from Joburg to Tokyo

Tricky. The government eventually will have to make a real decision. Other nations will note your position and your assistance. The Democracies are melding into an international force for basic human rights (hopefully). On one side, an authoritarian, despotic, corrupt government that is somewhat delusional. On the other side a fairly and freely elected democratic government, actually expressing the will of the governed for the first time in over two hundred years. I can understand the confusion if your government has little history of an actual democracy But it's time boys: "FISH OR CUT BAIT!!!"

With what's happening in Eastern Europe some of our beertime conversations turned to aggressive nations. As we got into the name and blame game I couldn't help but to mention that of the 193 countries that are members of the United Nations ........ Great Britain has invaded 171. Makes everyone else look like "Bad Ass Wannabe's" ????

Use the smart bus. goes from the airport to Rawai or Patong for 170 Baht. May have to buy a rabbit card from the driver. It's a nice Mercedes air conditioned modern bus (Light blue in colour) https://phuketsmartbus.com

So what happens if you like the destination but don't trust the ministry extolling its' virtues.

The disease may be milder but I'm more interested in its' seeming ability to move to other organs in the body.. The only covid that could do that was/is responsible for the "long hauler syndrome. So the disease is not as initially brutal and deadly as Delta. This is good. It may take 6 months to a year to recover fully. Not so good. I'm going to be cautious as hell until a couple of my questions are answered. This includes not suggesting someone else run out there and get infected

Ooooh <deleted>, You're funny. luv it luv it luv it Sureno ... good luck mate you're gonna need it.

Unfortunately matteo you are 100% wrong. An IDL is a certificate handed out by your local Auto club, registry or whomever is authorised for a small fee. No testing is done. The certificate puts specific information into the same place no matter where your licence is from. The constabulary in the hundred and some odd countries that use the IDL format know they only have to check a specific section of the IDL to find out if you are authorised to drive a motorcycle for example. The auto club just copies the information from your driver licence into the IDL and charges you a fee for doing so. If stopped you still need your original drivers permit. You are supposed to provide that permit along with the IDL ..... Few do.

If that title isn't enough to make you want to depart to some friendlier shores ... like North Korea I don't think Thailand is ready for him.

So did I. Should be arriving Thursday

Why is a confessed killer "out on bail"?? If the killer is "out on bail" the least we can do is to put the judge that allowed that "in to jail" It might give the family of the victim some sense that justice works on occasion.
