This will be unpopular but I don't care, I know what I like.

Pizza Company's super deluxe pan hold the pineapples. Pure comfort food gut bomb. I only indulge once or twice a year, it's obviously one of the worst things you can introduce into your system. I Photoshopped out the pineapple bits, don't even like to see them let alone eat them.

As with all food questions there is the lifted pinkie brigade who like to see themselves and like to be seen as discriminating connoisseurs (that's French Tish).

But pizza in all its varieties is nearly always lovely.

Of course if what you consume is a fashion accessory meant to demonstrate the succulent grandeur of your lifestyle and your personality you will denigrate Pizza Company. But Pizza Company is popular and successful because people who select their meals based on what they like to eat enjoy Pizza Company's pizza.

Sadly the demise of Food Panda narrows the choices of pizza delivery considerably.

Anyway, lots of good pizzas to eat, life is good.

Stop sending combat ready unidentified people in unmarked vehicles to grab folks off the streets and shipping them off to foreign supermax prisons without giving them a chance to defend themselves and things wouldn’t get out of hand.stop trying to inflame issues and instigating unrest and things would be calmer.

Hard to judge from the media reports.

However, I saw a video of 3 military combat garbed individuals pinning a fruit vendor to the ground. (Possibly he was armed with a kitchen knife for slicing mangos.)

That sounds exactly like the kind of thing Tug is talking about.

I hate to see the US become the kind of nation that uses its military against its own people like so many repressive regimes seem to do.

Back in the day I bought Arnold’s bodybuilding Bible and then went down to the fitness center to work out for the first time in ages. I used his beginner training plan that’s mentioned in the book and used the recommended weight and did a full workout. Following that I’ve spent the 4 most excruciating weeks of my life. My arms were locked and my legs barely worked. Turning around in my sleep used to wake me up for the first 2 weeks because of the pain. Needless to say my muscles were f.cked! But I didn’t sustain any liver damage and I think it’s safe to say that more of my muscles were wrecked that that of this student because I trained my arms as well that day. But then again, just because it didn’t happen to me, doesn’t mean it can’t happen to someone else. 

For the legs I did 5 sets of 15 repetitions, but I used 20 kilos of weight plus the weight of the bar, which was at least another 10 kg, which all together was almost half my body weight back then. So, I have a pretty good idea what 200 squats must feel like! 

But you're not gonna do 200 of them now them are you?

I used to do squats all the time….

Great.

Do 200 today and let us know how it goes.

They were apparently moved there in April, does this attack by Israel make them more or less likely to be used against Iran?

For drinking a Leo beer? Sharia next?

I guess the poster was thinking of drinking while being responsible for kids.

Not just for having a beer.

Just now, thailand49 said:

That is true but from past reading drinking clubbing I sure they would have found a way to denied the claim.

I've not heard one story where a person had one actually got paid?

The thing is if you have an insurance claim and it gets paid there isn't much of a story.

When you don't get paid it is a big story for the insured who feels cheated.

So there is a bias to hear about unpaid claims.

"Wales online" claims he was violently attached.  Source of info not given.  Also stated he had epilepsy which makes me wonder (if true) why he would travel without insurance.

From Wales Online:

"travelled to Thailand with a lifelong friend on May 30 and on arrival met up with another friend."

Sadly his pals didn't look after him very well.

Grown man (barely) but even still, he seems to have needed looking after.

Edit: Rereading the OP I see he is 29 years old, I had thought early 20s. The beginnings of maturity are possible at age 29 I guess. Even still sad his friends didn't look out for him a bit.

When I read "Welsh=Brit in hospital" is was quite evident how this story would end:

In short:

 Brit got drunk, involved in a brawl, and got what was to expect.

Result:

People begging for money, as usual, because no insurance.

Go for a bank loan and stop whining and begging for money.

Sure, it's a sad story, but face it.

 "Brit got drunk, involved in a brawl, and got what was to expect."

But turns up in hospital in a neighboring province?

Not really the expected finale.

How did he get from point a to point b?

How many people do you know that have no need for a little more money sometimes?

One big problem with bargirls bargirls going straight is that when they need a little money at the end of the month (or whenever) they can always make a few quick bucks in the trade they know.

Have you reported the fraud to the card issuer?

Some years ago I had several fraudulent transactions made on my debit card in Thailand when I was back the US.

The fraud was investigated and I was reimbursed.

They asked me: was card out of my possession?, did anyone else have my password/number?, and did I recognized the transactions?.

I was able to answer no, no, and no.

Reimbursement about 2 weeks later IIRC.

But you are saying "transfers were done on my iPhone and with my home network" this is a different situation.

Sounds like someone who has access to your iPhone right?

Agreed

If only there were more threads on this topic.

No doubt then we would hear original thinking and new information on this important topic.

Meh.

From the OP:

"Whether the content will offer critical insights or turn out to be inconsequential remains to be seen."

I try to follow this one:

Don't use words that you don't really know the meaning of, like epithet.

Philately.

Yawn,

A one-off anecdotal Palestinian doctor with 10 children is not indicative of birth rates among non-caucasian. 

 

Secondly, the Palestinian doctor you are referring to was likely the one who a few ago was dropped off at work (in Gaza) by her husband who thereafter returned home only to be hit by an IDF strike killing 9 of the 10 children and gravely injuring the 10th, an infant. 

 

Not exactly a shining example to inspire empathy for white people and their own inability or unwillingness to reproduce. 

 

Aside from that being in Gaza NOT the UK. 

 

More broadly, I'm seeing how this is an issue worthy of a moments thought, accepting for those racist who are convinced (and terrified) of replacement and being outnumbered. 

 

They, similarly, aren't worthy of my concern. 

 

If nothing else it's the logical retribution for hundreds of years of slavery, colonial rule, genocide, institutional discrimination and the death of millions during the 114 unnecessary, undeclared wars between the post-war, cold war years of 1945 and 1975. 

 

Equity and equity is not a net loss for Caucasians. 

 

With that said, I'll shed not one tear for those who cling to the false privilege of white supremacy 

You said: "A one-off anecdotal Palestinian doctor with 10 children is not indicative of birth rates among non-caucasian. " You may be interested to learn the following.

"Muslims have the highest fertility rate of any religious group – an average of 2.9 children per woman" 

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/04/05/the-changing-global-religious-landscape/#:~:text=Moreover%2C Muslims have the highest,to maintain a stable population.

I am sure you will take time out from your life's work of helping the poor and downtrodden (and of course being completely innocent of privilege of any kind yourself) to verify this birthrate information.

God bless you and all you do, unless of course you are just somebody who likes to virtue signal online and really doesn't do anything for anyone.

In that case, as God said to Abraham, go forth and multiply with yourself.

Speaking as someone who is trained, you can dangle a bag of Durban Poison and a Pizza in front of me to provide cover for the keffiyeh wearing, masked, screaming skateboard wielder and he is still catching a burst of M193 before I roll up a doobie and whip the Parmesan out of my pocket.

 

ProTip: When the pathologist puts the sticks in the bullet holes, for self defense determinations, its better to see an upward trajectory than a downward one.

 

 

If an example had been needed it would have been impossible to find a better example of a pathetic keyboard fantasy warrior.

Not a combat veteran (who would have some credibility) but "someone who is trained" and is always desperately trying to show how macho he is.

Interestingly in your case it's not to impress Jodi Foster but to impress your boy crush Pete Hegseth and other "traditionally masculine men".

Totally consistent with your whole adolescent tough guy persona, congratulations.

By the way is "whip the Parmesan out of your pocket" a euphemism for something?
