  1. A very quick search shows Australia has around 11,000 beaches and if you visit a different one every day it would take you 29 years to see them all.
  2. Almost 80 yo and decided against health insurance because of the low amount of cover I could afford without worry and the amount of co-payment. I did enquire about two years ago with an agent for WR. Ended up asking about just serious illness and accident requiring hospital stay. Recommended to try Zurich. Better, but decided against it. If I can't afford treatment then I'll just finish up if I can't fly back to Oz for treatment. I had a three night stay in a local govt hospital this year for cellulitis. Constant IV drip antibiotics and all up less than 5000 baht. Almost 10 years ago living near Bangkok I had a hernia op. First given a price of 150,000 baht. I rejected that offer but then offered max. of 40,000 if I went through the teaching side of the hospital. After several trips into the city for tests the op. by the teaching surgeon. Three nights in a two bed ward but me the only patient and only a couple of student visitors the total cost was 26,400 baht (~$1,000 AUD). Ramathibodi hospital. I couldn't fault the care, they were great!
  3. I think you may have left out 'with a working brain' after Nobody. LOL
  4. Probably not but most criminals are Muslims in this case.
  5. I'm led to believe that Aussie taxpayers are already paying huge amounts every year to the Aboriginal Industry. Numerous dodgy organisations that support aboriginals are taxpayer funded with zero accountability. Seems a lot like reparations to me.
  6. Only 15 years!!? FFS this is a case for life or death sentence.
  7. I found the English series 'In the line of duty' to be very interesting when I watched it a couple of years ago.
  8. I think this 'day in court' is one of the things that DOGE needs to cut out because it must cost thousands for every case and take up court time which delays cases that do need to go to court. Fairly simple. If you are in the USA to study and break the law expect to go back home. If you insist on going to court expect to pay all court costs.
  9. When I was refused a bank account at Kasikorn I asked to speak to an English speaker. On the phone I asked how was I supposed to have money in the bank as required by immigration (400,000 baht) if I couldn't open a bank account. He thought about it and decided I could open a bank account and spoke to the local female that refused me an account. She lost face and did all she could to make things difficult for me but I eventually got the account and internet banking.
  10. Meanwhile the women from Scotland behind the Supreme Court ruling that trans women don't belong in female only spaces are receiving death threats from the LGBTQ+ crowd. Would that be classed as being heterophobic? Personally I couldn't care less what people do with their genitalia. What <deleted>s me is the constant demands from the LGBTQ+ crowd to convince everyone that it's normal. If they consider it normal STFU and just get on with your lives!
  11. If they win this HAMAS will be able to migrate to the UK and set up operations there as 'they are not a threat to the UK'.
  12. Of course a paramedic would have his phone out taking video of the ambulance while attending the scene of a very recent battle. What else would a first responder be doing? I'm just thinking that just possibly what was on his phone could have been recorded at a different location? Is there any proof that the video was taken at the location of the fire fight?
