Bert got kinky

Really, that's an amazing achievement, you must be so proud.. Oh BTW, did you know that Ken Dodd's dad's dog died?

Well wherever he is, he wasn't Catholic, so he isn't in purgatory.

Not according to Wiki. They even detail who officiated at his funeral. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lee_Lewis#Health_and_death

Yesterday they were throwing out holidays like confetti to public servants for the duration of the APEC summit. Members of the thin blue green line will be elated.

perlonged usage of weed has been shown to have permanent long lasting effects on the brain, you will never notice And this is also very true of your drug of choice but I can't recall seeing you complaining of the harm and destruction that it causes, never mind the families that it tears apart.

And like alcohol, not everyone who smokes weed wants to become incoherent and spaced out. Some use it for health benefits and others 'love a few social joints and a natter'. BTW, I have mentioned the health benefits, does alcohol have any apart from a temporary increase in the beta-endorphin level, which in turn encourages dependency? You do have a very narrow view about weed don't you? It might be safer if you had the same narrow view of the world's most dangerous drug, alcohol.

A hamburger without sauce source, eh?

Don’t Eat Bats, Panda Lab Doctor Warns Is this the end of Rock & Roll as we know it?

anti-muslim terrorist Who said that he was an anti-muslim terrorist on this thread? The lack of comprehension is astounding Yes.

No, you replied to a post without reading it and understanding it? Couchpotato was referring specifically to Brenton Tarrant and not the Kiwi in the story.

BTW, shouting on this forum is not accepted. Learn the rules.

Again, read the post that you replied to instead of back-tracking over your mistakes.

Again, according to who????

Brenton Harrison Tarrant was from Grafton, NSW, Australia. I think that you need to re-read couchpotato's post.

There is no such thing as Biker gangs According to who? Has someone re-written the English language in the last hour?

Was he from Bondi??? ????

Yeah, everyone knows it's in Brazil.

In the past, I have seen news stories in Thailand labeling all kind of ordinance as 'grenades', so when I see the word grenade in a Thai news story, I expect to see a land mine or a mortar bomb that some farmer has dug up. However, these are real fragment grenades. These cannot be classed in the 'self defence' bracket. These are weapons of war, designed to create the maximum carnage. How does an expat make the connections that he would have needed to get hold of this cache? He must have some fantastic stories and friends who the local police, New, Zealand police and Interpol will want him to share.

I had an Irish friend named Phil O'Sophy. ????

Shame on all people". But you and others have managed to persuade the op never to go there, based on your horrible experiences. Are you having problems understanding. We shared our real experiences. Why is this so very difficult for you to understand? and admit you only saw one side of the Philippines? I admitted that right near the start of the thread. On the first page of this thread I openly stated 'Maybe I just has a bad experience but it totally put me off going back.'. I was just sharing the side that I had seen, I could not share an experience I never had. And quit having a go at me who has some very positive things to say about it. Why are you now trying to play the victim. Nowhere in this thread have you been attached for giving your views o the Philippines. In fact, you were the one who attacked people for sharing their experiences. If you feel that someone was 'having a go at you' for saying anything very positive about the Philippines, please point out the post.

I and a few of the others did not go to the beautiful, safe, islands and beaches, how are we supposed to share experiences that we never had. Are you suggesting that we should lie or be quiet of what we experienced because it doesn't match your views and experiences? You still think that you understand this thread after shaming the people who have tried to share their personal experiences?

Shame all.people can talk about is mugging and thievery in the city centres. Shame for sharing the experiences and feelings that they had personally witnessed and gone through, to another poster asking for people's personal views on the safety on the country ? Shame on you for not understanding what the thread is about.

I'm presuming that the remark of the poster 'zzzzz' was to highlight how fabricated and ridiculous Jurin Laksanawisit's claim of 566% (without evidence) really is. Strange how a sense of humour post can go over some people's heads. ????

cannabis use was a huge problem No it wasn't, the laws and judicial system that you were a part of was the problem.

If you are within a family group then you will be protected by them And if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike. The OP is a single female traveler and is not in a family group, nor does she have any guides to steer her clear of problems.
