The taxi driver wasn't happy with my review.

You will find a bottle of whisky, a glass and a revolver on the table in the ante-room. -
Phuket Airport tourist cries fowl over 3,000 baht Subway sarnies
herfiehandbag replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I stopped over for a couple of hours in Phuket airport in December (flying Chiang Rai to Kuala Lumpur). I know airports are expensive, and I know Phuket is expensive compared to Northern Thailand but I was absolutely gobsmacked by the prices being charged for the simplest of foods. -
Thailand Gears Up for Spectacular National Children’s Day Events

Astonishing - electrified Navy Seals! Will the cutting edge technology include the device which fires the main armament when you are parking your LGB? (Large Grey Boat) -
History reminds us of another fat posturing buffoon, fond of using makeup, who tried to make his mark by renaming a sea. The Mediterranean was to be known as "Mare Nostra" or something like that? That ended well didn't it? Petrol station in Milan wasn't it? Drill baby drill!

Greenland has an abundance of rare minerals, which are becoming ever more important in high tech manufacturing. The reduction in ice coverage is making mining these minerals more practicable. There is an awful lot of money to be made from this in the next few years. Trump is unlikely to be around to benefit from the full extent of these profits, but Musk will be, and if Trump presides over acquiring Greenland and opening it up to US mining companies he will be richly rewarded! Much the same could be said of Canada.

Musk has money, effectively unlimited money. He is the world's richest man? Trump values, covets money, above all else. Musk wants power. They will stick together like <deleted> to a blanket.

Grooming Networks Persist in Oxford, Warns Former Investigator

Oh they take it very seriously - further exposure, criticism and the truth about what actually happened will leave some very important people indeed exposed. Police and politicians are determined to maintain the cover up, at all costs. -
Sturminster Newton - they're all at in Dorset you know! People travel from as far as Henstridge and Blandford Forum for the debauchery!

The odour of partially digested cheeseburger? -
Desperate Russians using wooden logs for protection

It is rumoured that various high ranking officers in the "armoured vehicle upgrading program" made a lot of money selling off the explosive reactive armour! Certainly a lot of the knocked out/captured Russian armour had dummy or empty ERA panels -
Acetone - is that the stuff freely available as nail varnish remover?

AN/TV was down, or certainly intermittent, over Christmas and New Year. Initially frustrating perhaps but rather calming overall, in some ways a more pleasant experience! Incidentally, it is becoming a bit of a Christmas tradition in a way, you know: Jingle Bells in the supermarkets, "The Great Escape" on the telly on Boxing Day, Thai Visa collapsing in a heap on Christmas Eve...😀

I meant to say "calls it the Channel"

The journalist Rod Liddle made a very good point in an interview the other day. He said that any national inquiry set up by government would be pointless - to paraphrase him, it would be led by an establishment appointed ass, and would be managed and designed to ultimately exonerate officialdom and policies, and avoid asking the most pertinent of questions. He instead suggested renewed efforts by journalists, to drill down ask and find answers to the most central of those questions. We know about the political worries about " community cohesion" ( Muslim Votes), we know about the desperation of inadequate and incompetent organisations, and their leaders to avoid being accused of racism, we know about the terrible sacrifice of large numbers of young white girls on these altars of multicultural tolerance. What needs to be done is that specific direct questions need to be asked and answered, free of political management. He suggested starting by answering perhaps the most pertinent - why, effectively, did the Directorate of Public Prosecution, led for what, 5 years(?) by Keith Starmer, make no real attempt to prosecute these gangs, despite evidence of what was, and had for decades, been going on.

So what, we call the Stretch of water between England and France "The English Channel". The French call it "La Manche" ( the sleeve). Pretty much the rest of the world calls it La Manche. The world will no doubt continue to refer to The Gulf of Mexico as The Gulf of Mexico!

The scent of musk is a well known scent used by parfumiers for overpowering other smells... -
I might try that - trouble is my left eye is much weaker than my right eye : -9 and -4.75!

Thanks for your info - it's not a windup, local barber shop got me unstuck - needed a haircut anyway!

Early morning / Twilight hours boredom
herfiehandbag replied to themechanic's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I meant "ruin"! -
I think I am having a bad couple of days . Yesterday I broke both my pairs of glasses, one pair I broke the hinge on the side piece, the other pair the frame holding the lenses in place snapped. I don't want to buy a new pair for a couple of weeks (just paid daughter's university tuition fees), and local opticians couldn't repair them or fit the lenses to a new frame, so this morning I repaired the side piece by making a splint from a milk carton straw, reinforced with a piece cut from a yoghurt spoon handle, wrapped in micropore tape, and then filling the joint with super glue. It resulted in a pretty solid repair. Unfortunately I have now superglued my spectacles to my head!

There is an alternative, but do be careful not to end up with repetitive strain injury in your wrist, could train your sex life! -

Couldn't they have just built a great big beautiful fence - I am sure Mexico or someone would pay... -

Must have been a right pain in the arse having to lug around a pole and some rocks every time you wanted to go for a walk or a bike ride!
