  1. A clash of culture maybe. Satire helps. (Insert your Western country here) image as a sun-soaked haven was marred once again after a pair of Arab tourists were caught sunbathing completely covered up on the Riviera, sparking outrage among locals. The incident, occurring today, has intensified demands for stricter measures against unruly Arabic tourist conduct as the fully covered escapade unfolded before bewildered onlookers and involved police intervention. The couple, identified as Ms Aaliyah, 27, and Ms Fatima, 24, stunned passers-by when they were spotted standing unabashedly covered head to foot in Burqas on a public road, seemingly heedless of traffic. Their audacious display prompted locals to notify authorities, who engaged police forces that soon arrived to confront the brazen tourists.
  2. It is interesting that he admitted to the offence. He obviously didn't feel guilt after many years escaping justice.
  3. Why trust the science? If you have a PhD in a related science, you could easily contradict the majority opinion. The problem is, Facebook doesn't count as a scientific reference. The pseudonymous Doctor Simon says that he is a scientist. Even if true, he is a lonely voice railing against thousands of other scientists. I have only the experience of being vaccinated against all childhood diseases and Covid and never been sick. Should we agree with people who propose that vaccines don't work if our experience is that they do?
  4. If only Farage would stop flying to the U.S. and try visiting his constituents at Clacton-on-Sea more often he might be more electable. As it is, he could lose is seat at the next election.
  5. Will these alleged illegals get a fair trial or will they be sent to El Salvador overnight without due process? US nationals next.
  6. Just goes to show not everyone wants the right to lead them. A free country can choose what they want.
  7. I suspect that if someone feels shy of their English ability they will avoid contact. Speak a few polite Thai sentences and they will smile and help.
  8. The Liberals win again according to the latest reports. Carney is a solid leader and not likely to make many unforced errors.
  9. Andrew Jackson was the pioneer of the corrupt ‘spoils system’ under which government officials were hired not on merit but on what they had done for the incoming administration. Since Jackson rewarded jobs to friends, donors, business associates, and friendly newspaper editors, he failed to keep federal offices non-partisan, and led to a cavalcade of theft and corruption. Sounds familiar.
  10. Posters come in two types here. Type 1. Provide reasoned argument with data and references. No name-calling or otherwise childish behavior. Type 2. No reasoning just name-calling and derogatory personal attacks. Incapable of using Google to find the facts in defense of the position. So, everyone in type one.
  11. I bet no one knows how many men have crashed helicopters.
  12. All I remember is someone saying "promises made, promises kept." However I doubt the principle of negotiation is to give away your assets to appease an invader. Sudetenland for instance.
  13. I suppose green energy will enable long term energy supply. Just needs batteries (not included) for night time use.
  14. Fun loving Thais. I wonder if other police forces have this sense of humour. "Send your two year old to try our crèche. Full mod cons. Lots of cons in fact."
  15. Don't give up any land Zelensky. Russia occupies land roughly the size of the entire east coast of America. They are invaders and should get out.
  16. No one can blame anyone for moving home if that person wants to. Don't like the British weather? Move to Thailand. Don't like British taxes? Move to France. Was it the 70s when Elton John, the Rolling Stones and others moved abroad due to high taxes? The tax rate went down a few years later.
  17. You can double lock - triple lock - your bag but a razor will open it in seconds. Wearing a fisherman's jacket with loads of pockets and a money pouch under my jeans has helped me travel the world safely.
  18. I admit to being shocked. So this seems to mean that people spend their income without saving a penny, banking on a Pension when they retire. A pension that everyone says is ridiculously low. Could someone explain? I admit that as someone who has never been entitled to a pension I don't understand why people would rely on a pension only. I am sincerely interested in whether people do save and I have misunderstood something.
  19. A teacher was teaching a class about how people mate. He started off by stating, "There are 32 positions for people to use when mating." "33," said a kid at the back . "32," repeated the teacher. "I will count them off for you. Number one, the missionary position." "34," said the kid.
  20. Just 14.7% of Chinese exports go to the US. Now besides banning the import of Boeing airplanes the Chinese stopped importing US pork.
  21. It appears the only entities that don't like the ICC are the guilty parties. It's just a court after all.
  22. "Woke is an adjective derived from African-American English used since the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination." Seems sensible in that context. Misappropriated by others when used ironically by the right wing to ridicule perceived left-wing "social justice warriors" and "snowflakes", in connection with mockery of Millennials and Gen Z."
  23. Avodart seems to work
