IIRC, apart from making money the other reason was to pull chicks. They are still making lots of money, I doubt they get as many freebies.

Done that already, we invented farnarkling for them.

IIRC, the turned-up side brim of the hats originated from the First World War. The chip on the shoulder probably arose from the fact purblind British generals got so many Australians killed and maimed with their incompetence. I suggest you read " Monash - the outsider who won the War" by Roland Perry. It was an Australian general who saved the English bacon, although in class-ridden Britain his contribution was never acknowledged, as Monash was Jewish. Only the British could have a statue of Douglas Haig in Whitehall. He was the architect of the Battle of the Somme, in which 1 million men were killed or wounded.

They can afford the best doctors to keep them alive.

There are exceptions to your statement. I have lived in two condos, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Both are old, but well maintained. The CR condo has a manager who is one of the best I have seen, and it takes a lot to impress me. Developers nowadays are focused on profit, and cut corners to maximize it. Thailand is not the only country where it happens.

Rich is when one has more money than they can spend in their lifetime. Rich is when one can do whatever they like or want, without looking at the price tag.

Given the way the Poms were mouthing off prior to the match, it seems to be som nam na. Better to let the bat and ball do the talking.

Monkeys live for 20 years, baboons ( meat eaters ) live for 40. I would not describe a lifespan of 20 as healthy.

Social consideration in Japan has arisen from special circumstances. Given the lack of free personal space most of us take for granted, the alternative to good manners would be a vIolent reduction in population size. There's a lot of repressed anger in Japan. One only has to look at the manga which are openly read on public transport.

What Dr. Berry says makes a lot of sense. IMO we rely too much on medications to bail us out due to lifestyles of poor diet and exercise. Ask your cardiologist how many conferences he has gone to that were funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Also ask him who funds the 30 years of statin research. I can't argue with results. Going on some - not all - of Dr. Berry's recommendations, I shed 15 kg of my 93 kg to go from overweight BMI to normal. My blood sugar retreated from pre-diabetic to normal, and my eGFR ( measure of kidney function ) improved by 25%. Mind you, I have no knowledge of statins because I have no cardio problems.

Vegans - particularly women - usually come back to eating meat, when they find they are getting insufficient protein and Vitamin B12. That's a self-imposed handicap when they are menstruating once a month.

Posting on social media, instead of beating tom-toms.

Dr. Ken Berry disagrees.

Our genetic inheritance is as carnivores, we would be nowhere if early man had stuck to eating roots and berries. Where do you draw the line? Fish, oysters, or chickens?

Most of the refined oils are manufactured by solvent extraction, which leaves chemical residues in the oils that won't be there in pressed sources such as extra virgin olive oil. There are 22 ingredients in a Beyond Burger. That means there are 22 variables to get screwed up in the production process.

If a place is too noisy, I get up and leave. I mostly have coffee in my condo, and have takeaways or get them delivered. Cook for myself as well. Too old to suffer fools gladly. I get the howling dogs and crowing roosters in my GF's village, that's different.

With money, the guy in the OP's wheelchair can afford the best in mobility.

IMO you are thinking of Colin Neil, who was confined to a wheelchair after a bad motorcycle accident. I believe he has passed away, happy to stand corrected.

Elite Smile was at Pantip Plaza. I don't know where they are now, Google is your friend. I have had three implants with them, very professional, state of the art equipment. My implants have withstood the test of time. 55,000 baht per implant, including Swiss bone graft material.

It's approved for treatment of tropical parasitic infections. Giving it status as a COVID treatment has been contradicted by the data, which show it is ineffective. Ivermectin was a veterinary medicine about 17 years before FDA approval. Penicillin is approved by the FDA too, but nobody is suggesting it should be used to treat HIV.

Thanks for proving my point.

That won't deter anyone. In fact, it might encourage some.

I do wish there was a vaccine for stupidity, although it is obviously too late for some posters.

Your love of Trump has not?
