  1. Sad you still have to work. Keep reading about investing, you may learn something. If you have any questions, reach out, I may be able to help. Depending on your attitude.
  2. Read the book. If that is a skill you possess. Aren't AI searches wonderful? Using artificial intelligence is the domain of those with none of their own intelligence in my opinion. Carry on.
  3. Can recommend a book called " April Fools Day". Well worth reading. Some stark realities in there, not the feel good stuff some people want to believe. It's about a young haemophiliac, the author's Bryce Courtney, son, in Australia who contracted AIDs due to the need for blood transfusions back in the 1980's. Every haemophiliac died during that period due to infected blood as I recall. Haemophiliacs are exclusively male. It used to also be the rule if you lived in the UK between, I think, 1989 and the mid 90's you couldn't donate blood in OZ due the risk of mad cow disease.
  4. Yes, you get the government you deserve. Hopefully the silent majority are waking up.
  5. So why not disclose your nationality? Or is the whole post *****
  6. I think they are very relevant. Other forum members may be in the same situation from the same country eventually. Why the secrecy?
  7. I think it's the lefties who can't handle the truth. Trump is saying what most people think but are too afraid to say it out of fear of the Orwellian system currying place in the UK. Hopefully Reform will change all that.
  8. Trump is correct. The lefties can't handle the truth.
  9. Complete with pink tights as per previous winners.
  10. Don't recall too many bar girls with their own car. Have known a couple of mamasans who did though. One really did drive me back to my hotel. From Country Road in Jomtien to South Jomtien. I was pretty wasted but looked after the two bar girls hanging off me. No boom boom. Just but T shirts and junk from the travelling salespeople. I'm sure she would have noticed. Certainly noticed me after blowing a joint in the bar and subsequently legless when the lights and music went off and I attempted to leave the bar. Another one took me and a bar girl who was visting me me in Bangkok ( from Country Road in Jomtien) at Country Road in Cowboy to some dodgy bar three flights above a Thai restaurant after hours. Expensive but, hey, gotta experience life!!.
  11. He probably is in Dubai and some look alike minion is doing time. Why would he do a dodgy flight to Singapore, divert to Dubai, and come back the next day? Family visiting regularly to round the deception out.
  12. Another rock passing by. Just like the last one
  13. Only after he begged them to.
  14. From what I can see Wikipedia is viewed as being above the common social media sites. I think the difference is that people are now taking Wikipedia as a source of facts. Sadly the younger generation only really have the internet to find information, and that information can be very biased one way or the other. Often see quotes from Wikipedia used to prove a point. I often wonder how many people under 40 have been to a library. Or read any books at all.
  15. Wikipedia is basically a collection of opinions and whatever someone decides might be a fact. Pretty well anyone can add their ' facts'. It's a bit like AI responses, no guarantee they are truthful. Google shows AI response may contain errors in the fine print below the response. Cannot rely on it for absolute truth. Look at number of times something is added with the comment ' citation needed'. Encyclopaedia Britannica it is not.
  16. date, 16,538 people have been denied entry, including 303 from South Asia and Africa, while 5,278 interviews have been conducted to identify possible victims. Where were the other 16,200 odd people from?
  17. At the bottom? Just trying to be helpful.
  18. Where is Oy Vey? Can't find it anywhere on Google Earth.
