  1. Avodart seems to work
  2. Got a bad feeling the CIA will stop this development.
  3. With all this, they still haven't brought the UK to its knees. Hey, let's blame those bloomin' foreigners not ourselves.
  4. Seems like foreigners peeing on the street has given Thailand the hint.
  5. It does look like Xi is wiping the floor with Trump and forcing him to back down. It seems China holds the cards. I hope Canada, Mexico and the EU also stand up to the bully. Appeasement never works.
  6. China is really developing space research with Russian help.
  7. While it is possible to steal your wallet and cash on the street, I think it is worse when they transfer your cash from 10 meters away.
  8. A good idea to test an emergency system. Having it go wrong on the day is the worst scenario.
  9. It looks like these posts containing information that is already on every news program and in every newspaper are not adding much to the conversation. Perhaps there is nothing happening in the world.
  10. His family will be so proud of him. Anyone who has visited a Thai prison will know how bad they are. 25 to a cell? Yurgh.
  11. Friend saw an old American and his similarly aged wife get out of a boat at Phi Phi. He was grasping her arm. Two old fishermen on the beach. One sighed and said, "So old, but she can still sell herself." True story.
  12. Casinos may end illegal gambling by foreign tourists but Thais will not be allowed access so this kind of local casino will continue to thrive.
  13. Humor is about culture. If someone is not from your country, they might not get your jokes, but they get local humor. She Who Must Be Obeyed bursts out laughing when watching interviews of Thais. I have one joke in Thai that has people laughing out loud. I have brought the house down at lectures and weddings, but westerners will never get it. "Excuse me if my tones when I speak Thai are flat, but my wife comes from Suphanburi." It sounds better in Thai.
