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.

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!

Can someone please explain to me why, in god's name, Trump thinks that "for national security and freedom the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity"?
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.

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.

There will be a lot of musk in the oval office initially, but i suspect it will be too overpowering and someone in particular won't like too much of it, sooner or later it will just be the 'great smell of Trump' in the oval office.
The odour of partially digested cheeseburger?

Reactive armour is the way to go but Russia uses wood like fools
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 will dissolve superglue.
Unfortunately, it also defats skin. Hmmm.... glued to your head.
See where I am going with this?
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...😀

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!
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.

The scent of musk is a well known scent used by parfumiers for overpowering other smells...

I would do the same as a temporary solution. Can always find those around in outdoor markets. They won't have very clear or sharp lenses, or last very long, but good for a short usage period.I might try that - trouble is my left eye is much weaker than my right eye : -9 and -4.75!

6200 Baht for a pair of glasses is a lot more than I'm used to paying on Zenni. Were yours progressive lenses or something more costly like that?Meanwhile, good chance this whole topic is a windup, but I posted that information about Zenni earlier just in case it's helpful to anybody else really looking for eyeglasses at the moment.
Thanks for your info - it's not a windup, local barber shop got me unstuck - needed a haircut anyway!

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!

It seems that the absolute worst time to be bored is the early morning hours. The massage parlors, outcall services and most everything fun is closed. What do you in these dreary hours? It seems the girls work only 6-8 hours between noon or 14:00 to 9pm. That's ridiculous. Why is it so difficult to operate a 24 hour soapy or outcall service? Smooci is just trash filled with older women now.

Oh, bob, you’ve absolutely smashed it out of the park again there, mate! Thailand flinging its borders open is clearly the final curtain and curse for this once-peaceful, idyllic and harmonious kingdom. Who needs proper screening of visitors when we can just sit back and wait for the inevitable tsunami of bad apples to roll in? I’m already bracing myself for AN’s next breaking stories: foreigners stealing tuk-tuks in broad daylight, turning pristine beaches into landfill sites, and staging riots in 7-Eleven over the last ham-and-cheese toasty. Absolute pandemonium, I tell you now!But don’t worry about me, mate. My Thai wife’s way ahead of the curve on this one. She’s already called an emergency village meeting with the elders, personally bankrolled a nationwide “Foreigner Awareness Task Force,” and commissioned a team of elite private investigators to sniff out any potential “bad apples” the moment they step off that plane. And that’s just Phase One. Phase Two? A state-of-the-art moat surrounding our big house, teeming with crocodiles that would make a Jurassic Park T-Rex look like a goldfish. She’s even ordered a fleet of drones for aerial surveillance, because let’s face it, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
You’re absolutely right, bob, when you dance with those infidel devils, your bum will get scorched. But fear not, my wife’s already taken it one step further. She’s secured a private militia (fully armed, naturally), should the situation deteriorate beyond control. Between the moat, the crocs, and the armed guards, I’m confident we’re more prepared now than ever. Somebody’s got to be ready when the bad apples start rolling in and let God have mercy on their souls.
It’s going to be a bloody “Good Guys In, Bad Guys Out” campaign on steroids, the scale and likes of which the world has never seen before!
Couldn't they have just built a great big beautiful fence - I am sure Mexico or someone would pay...

Why were they out where he could throw rocks in the first place? Are you saying he threw rocks into your property where they were confined. I used to ride a bike and if any dog tried to bite me I'd have beaten it with a pole I carried, but they always ran away too fast when they saw the pole. I also carried rocks to throw at any that didn't run away when they saw the pole.
Just seeing the stone usually worked.
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!
