  1. I wonder how many (if any) English (only) speakers she prescribes for every year. I don't really understand Top Chaoren's business model, they seem to swamp the place with shops. Mind you, pretty girls, and I do like those tight white trousers suits they wear!
  2. I am not sure that I would take it upon myself to advise or coach Shakespeare (I presume he is the bard to whom you refer) on "word smithery"! Your posts often remind me of Samuel Coleridge's epic work (it goes on and on for bloody ages) " The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner" The first stanza sets the tone: "It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. 'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?" There are some 625 lines in similar vein!
  3. You can take it pretty much as you like sunshine, I'm pretty much done with your hectoring, antagonistic, bellowing which spreads like an algae infection over any vaguely political topic on this forum; and frankly makes participating in this forum more of a trial than the pleasure it should be! I don't have an ignore list, I have this quaint old fashioned "Tory" idea that people should be free to express their opinions, but in your case I am starting to consider an exception. I also think, and the Moderating team may care to consider this, that you are setting out to bait me.
  4. I frankly can't remember, I don't track, log or remember my posts with the obvious enthusiasm which you do!
  5. I think that Labour will win, convincingly. I don't think the Tories will be wiped out quite as comprehensively. I would shed no tears if James Cleverly, Grant Shapps or Hunt lost their seats, although I hope Penny Mordant keeps hers - she is the best hope for rebuilding the Tories. They have brought it on themselves. The dye was cast when they turned on Johnson.
  6. Certainly, Big C here in Chiang Rai has a highly trained quick reaction squad. As soon as I have paid, and am on my way down the moving walkway to the ground floor, a klaxon sounds and the team assemble at the checkout managers little desk. A quick scan of my receipt, and they are off, like a well oiled machine, moving everything I have bought to another location in the store. The result, when I come back, nothing is ever in the same place!
  7. I am not suggesting that it isn't. I am suggesting that, under these circumstances then it would have been quite reasonable to have moved the date of the Transgender day, a one time act. Anyway, well done on remembering a bible quote to support your point - or was it from a search engine?
  8. Oh I fully grasp the irony - that is why I pointed it out. And , since you feel qualified to declaim the core teachings of Jesus, why not bear in mind and acknowledge that they "cut both ways"! Furthermore, I suffer from no "fabricated outrage you and others on the right are engaging in." What the (predominantly) American evangelical Christian movement choose to complain about is their business. I do not follow them on this or many other issues. However I think that it is sad that the views of a great many have been ignored on this, one Sunday of 52, which is for us the most significant of the year. It is you that have chosen, as so often, to reduce it to a bawling political argument!
  9. No I don't believe he did. But, as you know jolly well, that is not the point. The point is that it would have shown great tolerance, understanding and respect ( ironically exactly what they demand be shown to them) to have moved the date on this one occasion. I am not going to rise to your bait by claiming or quoting Jesus Christ to support what is very obviously an a attempt to score a political point, and will likely result in you or others mocking Christ. Again, tolerance, understanding and respect is what they claim to seek, and what I and many other Christians would hope, on this occasion, that they would show.
  10. The point perhaps is not that it was set up 15 years ago to desecrate what is the greatest feast in the Christian calender. The point is that it would have shown great tolerance, understanding and respect ( ironically exactly what they demand) to have moved the date on this one occasion.
  11. There again, just perhaps the most sacred day of the entire year for Christians, just one day mark you, of inestimable importance to a very large number of people worldwide should be left to them. The LGBTQ etc community can strut their stuff the other 364 days of the year. As for hate, enmity and division, well how difficult would it have been to say, "since it is Easter Sunday we will move our special day to another date..." I must confess, as a Catholic, I am incredibly disappointed in Biden.
  12. Presumably these are the experts who have real estate to shift in Pattaya?
  13. Perhaps Mr Pancake will be kept "up his sleeve" as it were!
  14. It certainly looks as if there is a concerted effort to make Congress as dysfunctional as possible. I'm guessing that this is create the space for the argument that a "reset" is needed, which will place the real power in the hands of the Presidency, Congress to really only operate as a talking shop and rubber stamp. Add in the manipulation of the electoral system (particularly the electoral college) and a collapse of the judicial system (currently a work in progress) and Bobs your Uncle, or more accurately, Trumps your President, (followed in due course by whoever he chooses). It hinges on checks and balances, Congress and the Courts. The thrust is to remove them from the ball court. If that is achieved, American Democracy is gone.
  15. So basically, if the House of Representatives is not entirely in thrall to Trump, she is going to do her level best to wreck it! Not a great one for democracy is the slapper from Georgia, is she!
  16. That "Pimp &Associates" seem remarkably "entitled" to assume that women should prostitute themselves for less!
  17. You don't really debate do you? You just use posts as a trigger, and excuse, for another of your predetermined rants. Let me make my point again, as simply as I can; @Nick Carter icp postulated one possible scenario, the emergence of an Islamic theocracy which would defeat Israel and destroy it. I commented on that, suggesting what the implications would be for Israelis, and, broadly in line with his views, suggesting why it would be impossible! Enter stage left @thaibeachlovers, shrieking from the gospel according to Al Jazira, doing a passable imitation of a bull having multiple orgasms in a china shop! So no, if you had followed our discussion you would have realised that neither of us thought that Israel would lose, and it's people's be driven to slaughter. I was suggesting that would be a result of that scenario emerging and precisely why Israel would never allow itself to lose, or be allowed to lose. Both @Nick Carter icp and (I hope) myself are reasonably intelligent and humane beings who abhor the casualties in Gaza as much as we do the slaughter on October 7th last, not purveyors of "ludicrous and bad propaganda", a role which you have rather made your own. In summary, perhaps read the discussion?
  18. A process which really would involve a genocide - there are what, 9.5 million Israelis. They would literally be driven into the sea and slaughtered. October 7, and all it's horrors would only be a "taster". Israel knows and understands this. They will not lose. Ultimately they know that the only thing which will buy a generation of relative peace is to utterly destroy Hamas. Something else will eventually arise to replace them, but Israel will be prepared. There is not going to be peace in Israel. End of.
  19. I wonder why the Donald told her to put the boot in now? Still no doubt she reckons it can't hurt her chances of getting the VP slot!
