CG1 Blue

Went in there once. Felt like I was in a South London hip hop club. I think I was the only Caucasian in the place. Nothing wrong with that, but strange in the middle of Sukhumvit!

Given that these are younger lads, I suspect the LBs were 'ordered' using one of the dating apps, and maybe they were fooled by the online photos. They don't look or behave like gay lads in the photos and videos, so I would say they expected real women to show up. Then (as another poster said) offered 2000 for them to go quietly. There was one poster on here who continually promoted the use of apps to find a lady for the night. IMO you can't beat seeing the goods in person before committing to a 'date'. I don't think I'd ever want to return to blighty if I was one of them. The shame! 😆

The way I see it, if the major car companies were truly convinced that BEVs were the long term answer, then why would they be spending loads of money looking at (and developing) alternatives? So if you buy a BEV now there's a good chance it'll be superseded by something better in a few years, and your BEV will only have scrap value. Early adopters have taken a gamble IMO. Maybe they can afford it 🤷‍♂️

Mainly Italians actually. But since Eritrea gained independence they've been nothing but trouble. A one (Muslim) party state where for freedom of expression they rank lower than North Korea, border disputes leading to battles with neighbours Ethiopia and Djibouti, UN sanctions for undermining peace in Somalia. These are the actions of Eritreans, not their former occupiers. Sometimes you just have to face facts. They'll bring trouble to wherever they travel. Good luck Netherlands.

Do you know why? Because 'turn-back' and offshore processing policies stopped the boats from coming to Australia. Great deterrent IMO.

When you say 'the colonies', I assume you're talking about the 14 remaining British Overseas Territories? They could become independent if they wanted to. They're not forced to remain BOTs. Do you know why they don't? Because most of them have a population the size of a small town, no natural resources, and enjoy the security and protection of being a BOT. The British Empire is in the past, and you need to move on.

Khan will always get 100% of the Muslim vote no matter how bad he is. Muslims will never vote for a non-Muslim given the choice. That's a massive head start when you consider there are around 1.3 million Muslims living in London. For that reason he can probably stay in the job for as long as he wants.

In that situation I would always go for the female rather than the male, no matter how rough the female was. There are no 'hot looking trans' IMO. If I know they're trans I don't fancy them. It's different for you though, being a bi-sexual man. Bit of a dilemma for you. Each to their own I say, live and let live etc. But I do agree with the OP that we should be able to state 'No Trans' in a dating profile. Saves a lot of time for both parties!

This is how it should be. Unfortunately there will always be that vocal minority screaming about human rights etc.

Can hear the rabid leftie in the background shouting at people to leave him alone because he's 'vulnerable' 🙄

Are you denying the dramatic rise in antisemitism and the change in the UK's demographic in recent decades? From the OP: "A recent report has unveiled a stark surge in antisemitic incidents across the United Kingdom, reaching the highest levels in over four decades. " From the 2021 Census (England & Wales): There were increases in the number of people who described themselves as “Muslim” (3.9 million, 6.5% in 2021, up from 2.7 million, 4.9% in 2011) https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/religion/bulletins/religionenglandandwales/census2021

Honestly, I think you're kidding yourself. I wish they'd both be replaced, but I'm not in denial about Biden's obvious rapid decline versus Trump's gradual decline.

If Trump is such a danger to the world, why aren't the Dems willing to manoeuvre Biden out of the way and replace him with someone who can beat Trump in the election? Surely by keeping a cognitively declining Biden in place it almost guarantees a Trump presidency! Or do you think Biden is going to miraculously get better and run a successful campaign?

And yet you're giving Trump the opportunity to win the Presidency by having Biden run against him, a man who clearly won't be capable of contending in the debates. This is what I don't understand about the Dems who won't budge on the Biden issue. You're going to let Trump in!

So what you're saying is, because Trump is bad the USA should re-elect a man who is clearly suffering with cognitive decline and is only going to get worse? Rather than find another Dem to run? It makes no sense! Take your blinkers off.

Why do you think it's only Trump supporters who feel Biden is unfit to run for President? The whole world can see he's not physically and mentally capable of doing another term, let alone run a campaign. Only the most blinkered Biden supporters are in denial of this. For the record, I don't think Trump is fit to be POTUS either, but I don't pretend Biden is ok just because I don't like Trump. I think that's what you're doing.

I agree with you there, but surely they're going to end up with Trump if they don't face up to reality. How can Biden compete in the Presidential TV debates in his condition? He'll be torn apart.

Let me try this again - I was talking about 2024. I was not talking about 2028.

That's 2028. I was talking about 2024.

It seems almost cruel to me that the Democrats are letting Biden continue when he's clearly in cognitive decline. The stress of being POTUS at his age has clearly taken it's toll over the past 4 years. Not only that, but the grief of losing a child can take it's toll mentally over time. I imagine it's only pride (not wanting to be a one term president) that keeps Biden hanging in there. I dread to think how he'll cope with the presidential TV debates later this year. Surely the Dems would want someone who can put up a better fight against Trump? Or is it as someone else suggested the fact that Harris would never step aside to let a credible candidate come forward, and they can't kick her out because of her diversity credentials?

Exactly that, and arrogant consultants making poor / ego driven decisions. I lost my brother plus a close friend's daughter through their negligence. One being an ongoing legal case. Interesting to hear a GP actually said that to you!

I don't think Harry saw his dad on this visit to the UK. He went there to see King Charles 😁

RIP Dean. He's from my home town(ish), Southend on Sea. By all accounts he was a really nice fella. Sadly from my experience with the NHS, I'd say he might have had a better chance of survival if he'd stayed in Thailand. The negligence in UK NHS hospitals is off the scale these days. https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/24066030.southend-man-fell-ill-thailand-dies-aged-41/

Agree. I flew out from BKK in December. First we had to queue for an escalator that took you down to the immigration area, and that was a bun fight with some jumping the queue and nobody organising it. That queue took about 15 minutes. Then when we finally got down the escalator we had to guess whether to go right or left (I think left was for Thais), so we gambled on right. Then joined a snaking queue with about 6 rows. The booth staff were taking so long for each passenger and we were in the queue for about 45 minutes. Utter shambles, at the country's 'flagship' airport.

What I find beyond belief is hearing people defend the breeding and ownership of these type of dogs. These dogs are capable of easily killing people. I respect the fact that if the dog is brought up in a loving home, the risk of an attack is greatly reduced. But even if you love dogs that much, why do you need to own one of the breeds that are so equipped to kill? I bet 90% of XL Bully owners have them as a status symbol, and most of the owners are probably of a similar mindset to this Jaywick waste of space.
