Hospitals are full of diseases.

And in the other news of the day is a Chinese thief stealing Louis Vuitton bags. You can't make this stuff up.

Looking at a map of China showing the close regional proximity of US military bases compared with a map of north America with no Chinese military bases anywhere near, I guess the Chinese need to be more afraid than the US. Also, Americans forget there are a bunch of politicians older than Biden (Grassley is 89). It's just that Fox needs to find fault with Biden or he will defeat the Republicans again.

Can't say I like noodles every day. Whatever the breadth of Chinese cuisine, most eat the same food. And spitting bones into the floor of restaurants makes me throw up. And the howls of the dogs beaten to death in their cages for the strong meat used to keep the cold out. To take Richard Dawkins' quote and alter it, isn't it strange that wherever you are born, that is where you find the best food.

Pretty sure they've always been nasty. I guess you can't civilized then.

Thailand's military sometimes forgets that Burma used to invade Thailand "whenever they wanted" and destroyed the original capital of Ayutthaya. They are not soft cuddly teddy bears. The one consistent enemy that Thailand has ever had. Danger Will Robinson.

I have a bridge in London I am willing to sell cheap.

Surely, Big Joke is allowed to look at the assets and ask, "So where did all these houses, cars and mia noi come from, eh?"

Prayut should man up and admit it happened on his watch.

Best to wait and see. Sometimes, there really is a need to explain misinformation to the largely uneducated populace.

The Conservative party suffers fools too readily and this debacle may lead to the shrinking of the party in future elections. The only saving factor is that there's no other party fit to replace them. Labor might win the next election but it is hard to see them leading the UK for more than one term. Personally, I would like to see any party willing to save the NHS get success at the polls.
