There's a lot of that going around. Did you make a fool of yourself in Thailand, and have to retreat to the UK?

In my spam folder, I got a offer of a Trump whisky glass. So now his supporters can get gold sneakers he has never worn, a Bible he has never read, or a whisky glass from a guy who doesn't drink. It gets more comical every day. What's next, pardoning windmills?

Dear me, a touch of misogyny creeping into the posts of GG. How about a useful thread, such as candlestick patterns and Black-Scholes equations? RPN is so passe.

Expecting perfection in human endeavors is a bridge too far for sensible people.

Yes, there were preceding novels. "The Cloister and the Hearth" is considered the first of the historical novels, for the following reasons: Historical accuracy: Reade meticulously researched the 15th-century setting, incorporating authentic details about daily life, customs, and historical events. This level of historical accuracy was groundbreaking for the time. Vivid World Building: The novel is renowned for its vivid and immersive portrayal of 15th-century Europe. Reade brings the era to life through detailed descriptions of cities, landscapes, and the daily lives of people from various social classes. Complex characters: The novel features a cast of richly drawn and complex characters who are products of their historical context. Their struggles, motivations, and relationships are grounded in the realities of the time period. Focus on ordinary people: Unlike many earlier historical novels that focused on royalty and nobility, "The Cloister and the Hearth" centers on the lives of ordinary people, including a young scholar, his beloved, and their families. This focus on everyday life added a new dimension to the historical novel. While other novels before did have some of the elements mentioned, none had all of them.

I'm Australian, class is something that still rules the British. We don't have any time for it. You talking about class, when you use the acronym KMA - that's rich. You're modest? You probably have a lot to be modest about.

No, I don't. I know there are always going to be people smarter than me. You are not one of them. Your final acronym says you have me living rent-free in your head.

Update - went to Lanna Post. Same answer, even for a thumb drive. I assume new rules. DHL will send to Australia. 2000 baht for something smaller than a slice of bread. Ouch.

Er - grammar deals with the construction of sentences. Spelling deals with the arrangement of individual letters in a word. It seems every post, you can find new ways to display your ignorance. A winner is someone retired in Thailand, living comfortably with his Thai GF, with more than enough money to see him out. I guess you don't need me to tell you what a loser is.

On my side of the fence, I won't be disappointed in anything Trump does. On your side, I'm predicting you will be - repeatedly.

Better than you, anyway.

IIRC EMS is an arm of Thai Post.

Mine serves the same purpose for TV series. It may be new rules in response to explosives technology, but it is immediately traceable to the passport I have to show when posting anything.

I did not say that. It's called a hypothetical question, and I don't smoke.

I took a 2 TB hard drive to the Chiang Rai post office, to post to my son in Australia. Cannot. When I asked why, the staff claimed it would be returned to sender when X'rayed, as it has a circuit board. Try again. I take a 64 GB thumb drive the next day. Again, cannot. But but but I have posted this thumb drive back and forth to a friend in Chiang Mai repeatedly, no problem. Cannot. AFAIK Thailand imports thousands of laptops and millions of thumb drives. According to AI, my drives do not contain batteries, therefore Thai Post can send them anywhere. Is it rank stupidity, or the pleasure some bored flunky gets screwing with a farang? Which international courier is recommended as the most reliable?

Take a stab at guessing which one of the three wise monkeys you remind me of. Maybe it's all three.

D stands for Diversity. You think every DEI hire is a midget? No-one taller than average? What are you smoking?

Somebody told me I could trust a used car dealer, I didn't believe them either.

It was the criminal justice system working the way it should, with criminals. The message the Secret Service get is this guy is not worth taking a bullet for. The correct spelling is "loser", which only illustrates your own status.

No. It means Trump can't weaponize the DOJ to invent crimes against them, thus satisfying his vindictiveness.

Biden is issuing pre-emptive pardons to protect innocent people from persecution. None have been indicted for anything. Trump is issuing pardons to violent criminals already in jail. See the difference?

Twisting January 6 into a Pelosi conspiracy is a sign of tin hat delusion. IIRC Pence asked Trump to call out the National Guard, Trump refused. You need help.

Oathkeepers and Proud Boys like to boast they are armed and ready. Trump would do well to remember the Second Amendment works for his opponents too. That's the whole purpose of the Second Amendment, is it not? To prevent tyranny?

Trump's pardon is a slap in the face for every law enforcement officer who was trying to protect the Capitol on January 6. The Secret Service is supposed to protect Trump. What kind of message does it send to them?
