    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.

    I suppose green energy will enable long term energy supply. Just needs batteries (not included) for night time use.

    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."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Just 14.7% of Chinese exports go to the US. Now besides banning the import of Boeing airplanes the Chinese stopped importing US pork.

    It appears the only entities that don't like the ICC are the guilty parties. It's just a court after all.

    "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."

    Avodart seems to work

    Got a bad feeling the CIA will stop this development.

    With all this, they still haven't brought the UK to its knees. Hey, let's blame those bloomin' foreigners not ourselves.

    Seems like foreigners peeing on the street has given Thailand the hint.

    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.

    China is really developing space research with Russian help.

    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.

    Chickens have balls?

    A good idea to test an emergency system. Having it go wrong on the day is the worst scenario.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
