Srettha is Considering a Food Partnership with Barilla
John Drake replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Barilla, the most overpriced pasta in Thailand. Their olive oil is priced okay, but then a few years ago they were found to be selling fake EVO, along with most other Italian olive oil producers. There is pasta just as good as Barilla's at half the price and they don't hatch out weevils a few days after you buy them. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/13/italys-slippery-extra-virgin-olive-oil-scandal.html -

Iranian president, foreign minister killed in tragic helicopter crash

Alex Jones is blaming the crash on a CIA weather machine. How did it ever come that such pure nut stuff is now accepted by millions of low IQ drones? -

If they want this story to be "their business alone," then maybe they shouldn't have gone to the press to publicize it. See the notice at the bottom of the story from which this AN topic originated? It reads: "Do you have a money story you’d like to share? Get in touch by emailing money( at)gbnews.uk." https://www.gbnews.com/money/cost-of-living-crisis-move-thailand-energy-bills

Can Durian kill you when you drink alcohol?
John Drake replied to george's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Same. I now enjoy the smell of durian. And getting a perfect durian--is always an enjoyable hunt. Because some durians are better than others. Don't want one too hard. Don't want one overly slimy (although somewhat slimy is okay). Want one puffy and light, like biting into a pastry. As for the alcohol. I can't see the taste of wine or beer going much with durian. -
There has been a slow moving coup in Vietnam. Hardline pro-China generals (two police generals and an army general) have replaced the economic "liberals." The mass population of Vietnam may hate China, but the Communist Party sees it as the best way to retain their grip on power. That is what is important to them. More important than the South China Sea, economic dependency, and industrial growth. A lot of American companies relocated or are planning to relocate from China to Vietnam. They're still going to be playing into Chinese control. The US needs to reverse this daydream about a Vietnamese alliance and restructure all American investment and defense installations to the Philippines.

Gone totally deaf in my ‘good’ ear…….?
John Drake replied to Will B Good's topic in Health and Medicine
I've had similar happen as well as the Meniere's. Hearing started fading on Saturday afternoon. I was in the doctor's office Monday morning when first opened. Got prescription for prednisone one week on, one week off, and another on. Things started to clear immediately. Hearing actually improved after this. Good to see you jumped on this and got the full diagnosis and treatment. -

Yes, yes, yes to this. There is treatment for this, but the longer you delay the worse the prospects for any chance of recovery. Get another opinion this afternoon.
