Boxers have retired by the age of 37 on average, beating up an old man in boxing terms is no achievement. Perhaps you guys should retire hurt too, cricket does allow that. Your posts are met with a dead bat, mine go straight through to the wicketkeeper.

Les Darcy was not a world champion, although he did account for quite a few visiting Americans. The rest were. I did forget Jeff Horn as well. Tsyu was 35 yo when he fought Hatton, who was 27. Trash talk.
-
Obviously you have never heard of Les Darcy, Lionel Rose, Jimmy Carruthers, Lester Ellis, Johnny Famechon, Jeff Fenech, and Kostya Tsyu. Australia currently has 4 world boxing champions. Your post is one of the dumbest I have seen on ASEAN.

If they are not dumb before they step into the ring, they mostly are afterwards.

I have had a look at LaTex. It seems to organize documents just like I used to. I wrote every technical report in a sequence Title - Introduction - Experimental design - Results and Discussion - Conclusions - References - Signature and Date. Graphics and tables were easy enough to insert along the way. Those days are well behind me, IIRC the last was 15 years ago. BTW, latex without the capitalizations makes the best foam mattresses around, much better than polyurethane. Tricky stuff though, getting the mattress off the mould after curing was a delicate operation. Latex was also used in the bucket seats of the Volkswagen Beetle. A mat of coconut fibre, spray with latex. Lay in the seat mould, cure for 20 minutes, and trim. Very comfortable seats, more durable than foam. Passed the Ford flex test with ease. Of course, Ford stuck with less expensive seat components.

Cannot communicate with MG Thailand.

Can you explain why the OP can get no response out of MG? To me, that is questionable. I can't be bothered looking up the brands made solely in China to satisfy your carping. -
Sorry to disappoint you, I know nothing about LaTeX, and have only been aware of it since the post of yours I am quoting. All the phenomena you cite belong in the field of corrosion chemistry. A commonly used parameter there is the Langelier Index, a calculation made on the basis of pH and calcium hardness. A value of -5 means the water is highly corrosive, +5 a scale is deposited which protects against corrosion. And screws up heat transfer. It is not the full picture, however. Corrosion rates are also dependent on dissolved oxygen and anion content of the water. For example, steel will stay bright forever in distilled water with zero dissolved oxygen. OTOH, even with a high positive Langelier Index, steel will corrode rapidly in the presence of high levels of chloride. Soft water has its own problems when it comes to copper piping. Chloride is THE corrosion villain, and is ubiquitous in the environment. It will even cause stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel above 60 C. I once was at a corrosion conference with two giants of the field in Robert Baboian and Herb Townsend, who were locking horns over the validity of salt spray testing. A bit like watching a bull and a matador, academic disagreements can be ferocious. No ghosts, corrosion never sleeps.

It depends on the quality control used by other vehicle manufacturers. For a brand such as Toyota, Mazda, Kia or Hyundai, I bet any Chinese-sourced part is subject to rigorous scrutiny and specifications. They have their reputations to protect. OTOH, vehicles made solely in China are questionable, because no-one knows what QC is used, or how effective it is. China is a dictatorship that guards information, remember? -
With England weather that might take a fortnight. They'd have to be dedicated spectators. Here's a reminder of English weather, from a couple of your own:

IIRC, the Maxwell family is nothing to boast about either. AFAIK we haven't had government ministers shagging or being shagged by Soviet spies. Perhaps you are too young to remember Profumo. History can be painful sometimes. Aren't we getting off topic a tad? Australia won on British soil, wickets doctored to Stokes's specifications. England lost. Bairstow's dismissal was within the rules of the game, something he has done himself. It's a bridge too far to claim that cost England the Ashes. There's an old saying, catches win matches. I suspect if the two sides are compared, that is the real reason. Bairstow alone missed chances Carey would have swallowed.

No. It was an article I read some time ago in MSM, think it was ABC news.
-
IIRC the Nazis did not invent concentration camps, they copied the British. Not much morality there.
-
That's real too. How do you think guys like Zuckerberg got to be billionaires?

Slagging off British folk is a national sport in Australia. It's caused by the toffee-nosed attitude of Brits who emigrate here, then bitch about how life is so much better back in the UK. You can't expect Aussies to respect a country whose cuisine consists of cold pork pies, warm beer, and grey cabbage.

The convention, or the friends? My friends are quite real.
-
From what I have seen at the condo pool, most Thais dog-paddle. Aussie swimmers are good because there is a lot of taxpayer-funded organization support behind them.

Every year, there is a big cyber convention in Las Vegas. Organizations such as Facebook, Line , Onlyfans etc. parcel up the personal information of thousands of the people who register with them, and auction off the data to the highest bidder. Which of course includes scammers, phishers and hackers. It's why I avoid most social media. I have enough real-life friends.

I certainly think so, second fastest Test century ever. He could tear a bowling attack to shreds in a few overs.
-
Shane Warne (RIP ) was a useful lower order batsman. Andrew Symonds (RIP ) was a batting all-rounder, and an exceptional fielder. Alan Border backed up his batting with spin bowling. There's also Richie Benaud and Alan Davidson as all-rounders.

I'm talking about used cars, are those new car sales?

Yards which have turnover, not vehicles sitting there without moving for 6 months or more.

Aren't you making judgment too early? He's only 24 yo.
