Fat is a type of crazy

Heaven knows you're miserable now

Seemed like a nice guy. The novelty of him and Dreamy wore thin pretty fast.

Must admit I enjoyed my time in Ubon and surrounds. The candle festival seemed really natural and happy. Isn't a lot of Thai food from Issan? The music is the best. Girlfriend from Issan too.

Watched Youtuber Paddy Doyle about a year or two ago when he was looking to go to every bit of Thailand. When he got to Issan I think even he found it hard to build enthusiasm as each town and place seemed like the same as the one the day before.

Huge fan. Like everyone else. Saw him in Tears Before Bedtime. A touch more personal coming from Melbourne. Hearing Sandy Stone talk about Camberwell or Dame Edna in Moonee Ponds.

Surely you would agree that the difference between Germany and Montenegro is a lot more than Alabama to Kansas though they are a similar distance apart. Dont even talk about Australia where Perth to Melbourne is double the distance but people are pretty much the same

That is the beauty of the Dominion decision. It seemed Fox could say what they liked and then simply say 'Oh this part of the show is entertainment. Not news. ' Most knew what was reported was often full of nonsense but this has shown they are not as clever and smart financially and strategically as they thought they were. Similar to the phone hacking in the UK. There are clearly higher editorial standards in general in the left and centre media. They may 'think' in a way that right wing people don't like, which the right sees as bias, but they will fact check what they report. You don't see similar cases like Dominion against them. My take on this Hunter thing is that there genuinely was not enough evidence at the time of the election to report it fairly and that the centre and left media take extra care near an election. They take fact checking seriously as against Fox.

When I was 17 I liked or was open to star signs and up to 25 liked psychics. Brain is a bit soft and you feel open to all ideas and have faith that the only way for you is up and the world is on your side. When things get tough some double down and some distance themselves and then give it a miss.

Sparky is back

I had someone come up to me recently similar to that in Melbourne. Out of the blue mid fifties guy talking about his trips to Vietnam and Thailand as a single man, how he stays at cheap hotels but could afford more as he has two properties, how his suburb in Melbourne is terrible now as it is full of immigrants. When in Thailand I am mainly with the girlfriend and it made me think interaction with expats in some cases may be best when you can log off, or go to the next topic, rather than as a somewhat captive audience at a bar or something.

From Melbourne still get good deals if you are happy to cop Jetstar. Sales do make a big difference so could sign up to the newsletter. In May it's $450 return like the good old days but last flight in August had delays of 3 hours there and 6 hours back so may be a false economy.

So you've been with your wife and her kid for some time. Do you act like a violent thug to keep her interested and so that she is giving you what you want. Or are you a nice guy who gets nothing.

I get why people may have no opinion, or do not care, but I think your arguments for the defense that climate change is not a thing or is not a concern are a bit trite and that you really need to post something substantial to back up such claims. Happy to consider what you post.

Girlfriend called and said it's horribly hot. Had the heater on in Australia.

It's sulphur dioxide but same difference. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa being a good example of the cooling of the planet. There is a popular book, a bit old now, called Superfreakonomics, that amongst other interesting ideas, suggested cooling things down by pumping sulphur dioxide into the upper atmosphere by a hose.

Are you Bob or Bogs. Bob used that photo the other day in a post. I feel sometimes you can look someone in they eye and sense if they are a real threat. But best to be careful and let police do their thing.

Come to Australia. AQI is 4.

It's nice to see a Fox representative being humble, courteous, and apologetic for making a mistake. Something sadly lacking on air.

You don't like your home cooked food or a smoke or ..uggh .. a wine cooler. Don't like hanging out with the wife and kids. Riding the bike. Don't like tinkering with solar or whatever. I don't think you need a specific aim or new thing to continue to want to live. Doing the same things that are fun isn't so bad.

I suppose the issue is did you bring it to his attention. If not why not. If yes did he simply ignore you. It might have taken a few words, tell him about etiquette and that you are not into drinking as much now, and he might have been fine after that.

George I think is Australian getting close to retirement who has holidays in Thailand and thinking of living in Thailand, same me, but otherwise there is nothing in common. Mac Mickmanus is clearly a UK guy. Have some political stuff in common except he pushes back against anti Trump comments and defends Trump stuff all the time. He says it is because there's too much talk about Trump but I think he loves Trump very much.

Are you a bot George Georgia. Pick out the traffic lights.

I am careful with money. Upcoming holiday in Thailand I picked early May rather than late April, booked on Agoda rather than Hotels.com, saved dollars but still pick nice hotels. Flying on the wonderful Jetstar $380 return. Not sure that will be a wise decision or frugality for frugalities sake. Never wanted nice watches or fancy bags. I understand wanting quality but not opulence for opulence sake. I think you can get pleasure from saving similar to pleasure from spending and I suppose you can't let one or other take control.

Not sure if you are cheap with money but that's an extremely cheap shot at someone doing an important and necessary job in Australia. Pay in Australia for a job like that ain't so bad too. It's not Thailand. Talking about dollars the Australian dollar back above 23 so your predictions many months ago about his short term demise seem to be off.
