  1. I can remember when it happened to me as well. It only ended well when it was P4P.
  2. This is what one gets for browsing porn sites.
  3. Does she cut your toenails, and massage you when you are tired? Mine does.
  4. Mine is ironbark, stronger than steel. Or it was, before age came along. http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/patersonab/poetry/ironbark.html
  5. As long as the big head still rules the small head, enjoy while you can. Thailand is one of the best places for it. What, no photos?
  6. My GF cuts my hair for me. I am not going to say I pay nothing; however, it is part of her taking care of me.
  7. I'm OK with saw palmetto as the relaxant. Stinging nettle root etc. act in similar fashion. The objective of the finasteride is to either reduce my prostate in size, or keep it where it is. Having a TURP is something I want to put off as long as I can.
  8. He got the nickname "Randy Andy" for a reason. Having said that, several others in the Royal Family could not keep it in their trousers either. Nothing new about this, time to move on.
  9. Tell me about it. Finasteride I am on for BPH subtracts about 50% of my libido.
  10. More of the Nazi deflection BS. Please explain to me how a nation Putin has called Nazi as his excuse for invading Ukraine can have a Jewish president. Zelensky is a democratically elected leader, who came to power after a popular revolution booted Putin's puppet out. Putin has progressively shut down dissent and independent media, along with poisoning opponents. Energy oligarchs in Russia appear to be awfully accident-prone at present. Which person do you think is closer to the Nazi playbook?
  11. Fair enough, you were in the middle of it. Living as I did in Chiang Mai, there was nothing to see. Thanathorn is a good example of what happens to politicians here when they want to reform systems. The votes he was getting from the young really spooked the junta.
  12. I'm not saying Thaksin is my hero, perish the thought. I'm recounting what northern Thais have told me.
  13. What you are saying in effect is you prefer the bunch of crooks in Bangkok to Thaksin. That's like saying you prefer Stalin over Hitler. Every Thai I have met in northern Thailand thinks Prayut and the junta are criminals. OTOH, rural Thais think Thaksin is a hero, as he has done more to benefit them. Northern Thailand was formerly the Lanna kingdom, the divide between them and southern Thailand still exists. Tell me, when the red shirts and yellow shirts were going at each other, how did it personally affect you? Didn't make a jot or tittle of difference to me.
  14. The OP did say his fuel is diesel.
  15. Hell, where do I start? * Rent * Building costs * Restaurants * Massage * Food * Women * Car and scooter registration * Car and scooter mechanics * Dentists Most of what I have listed are 4 - 8 times as expensive in Australia.
  16. IMO you are probably driving too fast. I would score about one evasive action in a month, because I drive slowly and defensively. My system has worked for me in Thailand for about the last ten years. I rely on threat assessment. In front and behind. At 0.42 seconds, my reaction time is way too slow to rely on reflexes alone.
  17. I don't fear death. I fear a prolonged and painful one. I suppose my biggest concerns are being incapacitated to the point I can't jump through the Immigration hoops any more, or that the goal posts are moved. My other concern is medical, being unable to get back to Australia where I come under the two umbrellas of Medicare and private health insurance. Here, I have to fund myself as no health insurer would accept me. I don't worry about Thai politics or world events, although I do wish someone would give Putin the same poisons he dishes out to opponents.
  18. Tell me a major bank in Australia that doesn't screw customers on a range of services. It's why I have banked with a credit union for more than 30 years.
  19. Jeans are jeans, designer jeans are verging on an oxymoron. The best pair I ever had were not designer, made with double thickness twill at the front, for durability with work such as herding sheep or chainsawing firewood. I don't give a fig for fashion, comfortable, value for money, and long-lasting is what I look for.
  20. 1983 was when I quit. I guess it's why I'm still here.
  21. You may be right, it was quite some time ago I looked at WISE's fees. Perhaps they dropped them in the interim.
  22. How sweet it must be, as a Russian in Crimea eligible to be conscripted. The military commanders are leaving, presumably you will get a new general from Moscow who knows nothing of local conditions, and whose only skill is kissing Putin's backside. Said general will then send you into battle untrained, with inferior equipment, and most likely your supply lines cut off. With General Winter at the front into the bargain. It would be smarter to defect to the Ukrainians.
  23. When I checked out WISE, from memory it was the fees charged up front that killed the deal for me. IIRC, it's a commission, the more that is transferred, the bigger the commission. "After all fees" is the critical phrase. Not much point to getting a better exchange rate if the fees are in excess of that.
  24. 500 mg consumed at once would be enough to send anyone into orbit around Mars. Or into the earth's core. Mg is a unit of mass, mL is a unit of volume. 1000 mg is approximately equivalent to 1 mL of a substance if said substance is close to the specific gravity of water. The mL measurement would be used with something like CBD oil, the content would be measured as mg/mL. For a cookie, it might be a statement of total mg in the cookie, or mg of active CBD or THC per gram of cookie.
  25. I am not doing the TT directly, it's a form on the website of my credit union. When I've filled out the form, I email it to the credit union, and confirm by phone. They then send it to ANZ.
