The only thing I admire about Jackson Pollock (and several others) is that they managed to convince art intellectuals and serious buyers that their output had some artistic merit ... and make millions.

A few ideas:
A walk on the wild side ... might be a bit painful.
Cave exploring with the Mai Sai football team.
An evening on yaba.

Fine by me. Where does it end? Roman Emperors, Alexander the Great ... we won’t have a statue left. Pointless virtue signalling.

We are all on this Earth as a result of a complex chain of events and circumstances over many thousands of years ... ironically without the slave traders many of the protesters would never have existed. They are part of our history, and should never be erased. We don’t have to approve of them, but we should acknowledge them.

It’s a strange condition, but I’m all for people doing what makes them happy, as long as it harms no one else.

That’s something he’s got in common with George Floyd ... a criminal record.

No. Only if the package is suspicious. No issue if the meds are legit.

I sincerely hope that the parents can finally learn exactly what happened to their daughter. And the conspiracy theorists and poison pen activists can be shown up ... but I won’t hold my breath waiting for an apology from those pond life.

Has anyone with an amulet on them ever died in a car crash?

Lockdown can be an unsettling experience, and perhaps a decision like that is best made a month or two after we are back to normal. After such a long time in South East Asia I wonder how well you will adapt to life back in the mother country?

You’re wasting even more money with legal action. I’m surprised you need to ask.

One of the dangers of growing old in Thailand ... make sure your family do not have a history of dementia ... because then your fate is tied to the kindness (or unkindness) of strangers.

I don't think many countries can survive for very long under lockdown conditions. Wear masks, wash hands, isolate the most vulnerable ... but otherwise get on with work and life. An effective vaccine might never arrive so the World must learn to live with this virus until it fades out.

I believe you are legally committed to pay the seven month service unless you can negotiate with the landlord. I can’t see there being many takers in lockdown Bangkok so little chance of the landlord replacing you as a tenant. You could walk away but the matter would likely catch you up again, and it’s better to leave with settled terms given that you live in Thailand.

That sucks, like you i am not an OAP and been here 15 years came here in my 30ies. I am lucky my business is good might even get better.
I find your comments about blaming others for the lockdown because they are old not really nice. Its not as if they asked for a lockdown. Its just the sensible thing to do don't want people dying as flies. Still something has to be done to open up stuff in future. But so far all the times they opened up stuff it got worse again.
I do wonder about the logic of worldwide shutdowns that no economy can sustain for more than a few months? When we open up the virus will still be circulating in populations without herd immunity. You inflict enormous economic damage only to open up and start the whole routine once again.
I think it would have been more sensible to focus on prevention by isolating key risk groups but essentially allowing life and commerce to go on. After a while the virus will have less impact and over time we’ll have medical solutions that limit it’s impact.
The world’s approach simply destroys economic life whilst increasing the death numbers, which are spread over a longer time stretch and worsened by the devastating economic impact.

I’m on an island in the eastern Mediterranean, in lockdown like everyone else. I’m spending much less than usual and I budget twelve months in advance, with contingency, so I’m okay to ride this out. I feel bad for people who own businesses and those that have jobs that are vulnerable ... we are heading for a very difficult year or two.

I have not often aired this childhood confession. A boy, Christopher Smith, a grade or so above me, lived on my street growing up. He got some sort of cancer, his leg was amputated so he had a prosthesis. We went down a stream, deep inside some woods, and he couldn't keep up with me.
I left him behind to find his own way home. I regret it to this day, some 60 years later. He died when we were in high school. Miss you, Chris.
Yeah, the found him dead at a stream, you heartless bar steward!

He attacked a smaller kid with no arms and no means to defend himself. And he did it without a few mates to help him out?
i think you are all being a bit hard on the lad ... he’s one of the brave and fearless ones.

Bring all your money to Thailand, buy her land and start building a house. Many have done this and I don’t know any who have regretted it. It’s a no brainer really.

Controversy rages over appointment of anti-corruption commissioner

He’s there to make sure that the only corruption investigated is with people opposed to the junta Government.
