My girlfriend says it could be to commemorate King No 5 who died on the 23rd October 1910. She said could be still a day later. She says many had a holiday yesterday so today they wear black when back at work.

Australian Aged Pension

This may be obvious but if you lodge a final tax return and circumstances change you would need to start lodging. A change in residency could be such a situation. -
I know. I raised that in a previous thread that was deleted. What professional company responds like that. Odd. The first email received by Bubblegum 19 hours a go was strange too. Seems like a very small operation.

Finding true love caring partner

You're funny. Even got Flybird into the story but no Nirun this time. Can Filipino's stay long term in Thailand especially without financial support? Thanks for the story though. Edit: You did mention Nirun in a subsequent post. -
My youtube playlist is stuck in decades gone by. It's hard to tell if we got old, or modern popular music does suck to cater for people who look at phones all day, or there really is a limit to how many variations of popular pop and rock there can be and we see the patterns from past songs and it is boring.

Could be totally off topic but I hate the way at Thai restaurants and at resorts they love to play the blandest western songs - Coldplay Maroon 5 or covers of the blandest 70's and 80's music. Play thai music. Or better still nothing. In Koh Chang at lovely beach resort by the sea but at breakfast it's covers of songs that sucked in the first place. At dinner it is a filipino band playing Simply the Best and Living on a Prayer. I mean they played it ok but please. No thanks.

Can you point to a Harris campaign promise about the tampons. Some time some where in some obscure situation it was probably done - harmed nobody - likely silly. Meanwhile Trump makes comments about the enemy within and using the military and cosies up to dictators. Remember when tampons in a boys bathroom would be ridiculed and forgotten but important issues like Trump's stance would be taken seriously. But you keep worrying about tampons.

The key point would be that they both agree to separate - hard to see how subsequent to this you can hold someone to such a condition. Many couples separate but don't divorce for a while. They are treated in all sorts of ways as being two separate people once separated but before the final signing. Google seems to confirm this but not based on Thai law. If you have something that says otherwise might be interesting to see.

Perfect example of massive overreaction. Yes democrats were more supportive on that type of issue i.e. letting people live how they want. Trump and others now exaggerate and say such issues are fully embraced when they are not at all. I think for good or bad Democrats don't be black and white on such issues like Trump - but I bet most Democrats would say sport should be by sex you are born with - and saying you are whatever doesn't necessarily make it objectively or scientifically so. I think Trump knows many of his policies such as low taxes for the rich aren't that appealing to the average joe so he focuses on emotive issues such as gender, guns, border crossings - the last with some good reason but the ill effects massively overstated - that get you guys excited.

The blood test is normally bulk billed and free for one and all. But I suppose if you take the doctor referral into account then it's not necessarily free. -

They are normally free in Australia. Your link is American. -
A lot of it to me sounded like straight out Trump talking points - like he was doing it on behalf of Trump. Maybe you are used to that on Fox News. Normally they give the interviewee a chance to spruik some positives. Ask yourself if he would've been anything like that with Trump. The approach to the immigration questions for example - yes it is an important and key issue and there are some terrible individual consequences - but the discussion was emotive noting that 'a large number of men' had committed heinous crimes - no context or comparison to crime in general - asking for an apology three times regarding the tragic cases of the 3 ladies killed - I am not suggesting it is not important but that type of question is loaded with emotion and repeating it again after she made her statement was not fair and balanced in my opinion. He would repeat questions after she gave an answer that I consider was a reasonable response - played emotive Trump campaign ads focusing on obscure gender issues that are big Trump talking points - talking about how Trump is seen as better for this and that as part of the question e.g. saying how well Trump is going against her and attempts at gotcha questions - clearly more combative than he would be against Trump - played the wrong quote that lessened what Trump said - which Kamala picked him up on - and which the host admitted later but was too late - finishing the discussion of the Iran issue with a criticism with no ability for her to respond. If he treated Trump the same then no worries.

They had some very loaded questions - has your 4 years been terrible or very terrible? Hard to answer. But yes neither her nor Trump are the greatest at answering questions - but he's worse and since there's a 100 other reasons that Trump is a terrible option - whereas Kamala in my opinion is quite reasonable on most things - picking one because the other is so bad does make sense.

I concur that the terms of having the President chosen by parliament had an effect but I think the reason it didn't get up is that people simply thought if it ain't broke it don't need fixing. Only a small percentage I'd say had been particularly pro the British Royalty but I think many thought may as well stick with what we've got. Royals for most people I think were regarded as kind of benign and the Governor General in recent times - putting aside 1975 - did what needed to be done. I voted for the Republic for what it's worth. I disagree strongly that Turnbull was not honest in his desire for a Republic and he is still is the same. Do you have evidence for that? He did come across more arrogant in his youth which probably didn't help things in the public opinion stakes but in my opinion he is sincere and mellowed into a good politician. Well better than others such as Abbott or others but that's not hard.

For those who don't know It's a joke Joyce is a reference to an expression on Australian tv from around 55 to 60 years ago -
Not correct by what I saw. Yes someone fainted. He said play Ave Maria. Fine. Second person same. Said play Ave Maria. OK. Then from that point - after 5 questions only - he decided to play songs from his song list while he shuffled - not sure if 39 minutes included the two Ave Maria songs but he played YMCA, a Guns n Roses song, Memories from Cats etc etc - his own Teleprompter said to ask questions - the host suggested more questions - but he kept on with it. Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert confirm this and they wouldn't lie.

Probably all saw too how he kept playing his music at the Pennsylvania town hall. Bizarre. 5 questions at the start and nothing more. Imagine going there to ask the nominee an important question for your life and he just plays his songs for 39 minutes and shuffles on stage. Overconfidence or something's going wrong.

Your response probably hits at the key to why Trump may win. He clearly has a sense of how to manipulate certain types of people which is a skill and a kind of smarts - but people assume he's intelligent when I think he clearly is not. His tv show added to the reputation as the smart guy for a certain audience . Everything I've heard Trump say about economics or about most policy topics is not insightful nor indicative that he understands in detail what is going on. The big concern for a second term is he is less likely to get help from the experts he'll need. Let alone 100 other issues that make him a poor choice.

It's all been said but low inflation under Trump followed on from a long period of low inflation - and then covid spending, Trump spending on handouts and supply issues, and a bit of Biden spending early on that didn't help resulted in bad inflation. Do you really think Trump had some super smart low inflation policy that worked in those first two years or <deleted> just happened. Biden now has low inflation compared to most comparable countries and a booming economy. I watched the video and I think the problem isn't that she doesn't understand the Ukraine issue but that she was a bit patronising thinking she had to put things in too simple terms to that audience. As president she'll consult experts. He'll tell toadies what should be done based on what's best for him.

True. Except vegetables and meat is cheap here if you are cooking. Jomtiem night market for tourists on the beach much better and cheaper than similar in Australia. You noted you bought a double seat on the plane from Australia last time for comfort. Next time sit in one seat for the 9 hours and with the extra $1000 you can buy expensive thongs and eat Subway. Unless you made that story up.
