the meat and vegs are starting to be tasteless

the pork and chicken have no flavor no more 

i eat tomatoes every day  /they have become flavorless with a thick skin 

i now understand why Thai food is overloaded with  chile and garlic trying to get some flavor 

maybe trying to grow everything to quick with antibiotics and hormones? 

In Australia over the last 20 years beef cattle, sheep, chickens and particularly pigs have been bred to be very lean.( healthy ) but that has removed most of the flavour that comes with the fat.

Living in "old" Siem Reap, I am aware of the comments from local people about this new Naga Chinese mega theme park complex, but personally I am in favor (at this moment) as it will keep most (if not all) Chinese tour groups and their buses away from the existing tourist facilities, making it much more pleasant for other international travelers. Please note that a planned new "Smart Siem Reap City" is to be built near the new International airport (under construction) about 50 kilometers from the existing airport and city. 

You can bet this great "Theme park" will include a lovely big Casino / Hotel.The chinese can do whatever they like in Cambodia!!

Never seen many Zebras crossing the street there..have you ???

Been eating Vegemite for 64 years..Mum used to put it on my dummy when i was cranky . Never heard of mould growing in it until now.I have had 25 trips to Thailand in the last 20 years and alway bring a tube of it with me and no mould problems.

I use tubes of Vegemite in my GF's village. The reason I do this is because an opened jar of Vegemite develops a white mould on the contents. I have never seen this before, not in Australia, not in the condo I used to occupy in Chiang Mai, not in my condo in Chiang Rai. My GF's village is 25 km from Chiang Rai.

Vegemite according to the food labelling is 8.4% salt, so a mould that can tolerate that kind of salt content must be something special.

Has anybody else living outside the cities seen this? Marmite users are welcome to contribute if they have experienced a similar phenomenon. Comparison of the two products, that's been done to death.

I'm just thinking a mould like this might be producing a new antibiotic, or a suite of organic compounds that could be useful. The biochemists may find it interesting.

I have some good news for all you Vegemite Lovers out there..they are about to bring out Vegimite in a plastic container with a squeezy top like you get honey in now.This will be good as the contents will be more than the small tubes and hopefully ..no mould.

As good as draino.

When I was a young lad in the mid 60s I went on a school excursion to the Coke plant  in Adelaide  (au) The guide told us that all the workers  were issued with new work  boots every 6 months . Why is that ??? Because the coke that spilt on the floor corroded the soles of their boots....Thats why I dont drink it !!!

I say get rid of Hooters and bring back the Golden Bar! 

In Australia if over the limit (.05) after a roadside test you are taken to the nearest police station and tested again on the Breathalzer machine and if still over you will be fined. you can challenge it in court. If a driver is unable to supply a breath sample due to injury a  blood sample is taken in Hospital.

Too young for arthritis, could be just a random inflammation, go visit a doctor.

 

I am not a Doctor but from experience it is definitately Gout .I got my first attack in my early 20"s and for the next 10 years attacks about 3 times a year .I then went to my Doctor and a blood test confirmed a high build up of uric acid which is the cause of gout. Since then I take 1/300mg.of Allopurinol daily and for the last 30 years no problem. Yes it is a form of arthritis.

The Landlord looked a bit sheepish standing at the baa !! He is certainly pulling the wool over the customers eyes.

The Thai government not as smart as Aussies.When the Gov.announced the ban of  Deildrin they slowed the importation of the product so much so that stocks were exhausted about 3 months before the commencement of the ban This was very effective and prevented stockpiling. I wish I still had a shed full of  it.

I saw the exact same post as that the other day

It was in an article from 1971

High voltage fun in Walking Street.

I think buffets will survive but for a few changes such as the food displayed as usual but closed in  on the public side with glass or perspex. staff will be on hand and the diner requests their choice and it is placed on the plate and collected at the end of the line.A bit like Subway. 

Where can  I book Dr. Bum for my next rectal examination for prostrate cancer???

In the Australian Outback we call them Gidgee Bugs.Harmless but a Bloody nuisance !!!

The only difference is the name "betagrow" I have been buying the trays of eggs from Big C, Makro and Telsco at a price of between 70B and 95B for a 30 egg tray and the only things is that they are not graded into sizes. A tray of 30 ungraded eggs is no problem and there is nothing wrong with them.

EGGXACTLY!!!

It certainly seems that some of the scientific research released recently around temperature and humidity restricting the spread is true. 

I find that theory hard to fathom..just look at Singapore they are right on the equator and they have had their fare share of cases.

Look unless you have tested everyone or at least tried...like Germany - who tests 500K per week.. whatever data or numbers you have and say  are irrelevant!!! Let say you only test 3 million out of a population of 69 million --- what is the percentage of that is correct???? Just because the infected cases go down does not mean that the VIRUS is dissipating or clearing up!!!!!!

I agree 100 percent.How many people are walking around with the virus and not having any symptoms ??Also how many poor villagers who cant afford the test and just get the virus and die in the house and the family put it down to the flue therefore not counted in the tally ???

My view is that these are rubbish in the effectiveness department.

Doctors wear them in operating theatres because they usually have open

bodies in front of their face. It helps create a more sterile environment.

 

Masks are pure optics.

 

Prior to this wuhan flu situation if people saw you with a mask

they would assume you're sick.

 

Now they're seen as something you wear if you're well.

 

I fall in the latter camp for now. Wearing masks seems to re-assure

others around, but I can confirm they are hell if you wear them and plan to get some

work done.

 

The air you exhale is constantly making the mask billow outwards, It creates heat,

moisture and fogging if you wear spectacles....extremely unnatural. I salute medics for having these on

for 12 hours straight.

 

It is near impossible to wear these surgical masks without touching the sides to adjust them at least a few times.

 

But if in Thailand I would wear one when you leave the house as locals seem very skittish if you don't.

 

 

 

 

When in Rome do as the Romans do I guess.

I have purchased 100 of these 3ply surgical masks.

But will only put them on in situations that are a little more crowded

than usual.

I am confused!!! America is recommending everyone wears a mask but Pres. Trump says its not for him!  Here in Australia our Chief medical officer advises that unless you are a medico no need to wear one or you are sick already As it is a waste of time. Also it frees up masks for the hospitals who are short of them...WHO SHOULD WE BELEIVE ??
