    TBH HP, I sometimes read back a couple of years. Some of the old posters are not on-line now. At least not on Aseannow.

     

    AT tragically died. Regular previous posters like Odyssey and Blue Sofa are no longer about. Thanks must go to Voulez Vous, who once ditched his latest bit of French skirt to help me out on one of my many holidays.

     

    And it's worth mentioning that the tread started before C-19 arrived. Interesting to see how it was coped with by the locals.

    Well done Owl. The farms looking good at the moment I must say. I wondered about Odysseus - hope all is well.

    There are many people who like and support Tump , but they keep it quiet on social media and on other internet forums , because when they mention they like Trump, they receive lots of abuse and hate from the "tolerant" left 

    No doubt he has a significant base. I think the election fraud nonsense, the investigations that people can see do have some merit, the Murdoch turnaround, and boredom with the old and the rise of new hopefuls, are taking a toll. Could be wrong. 

    I think the left, centre, and the part of the right that doesn't like Trump, which add up to a lot these days, are generally intolerant not of individuals for being who they are, but those who make statements that can seem illogical, not backed by evidence, and or that parrot right wing media talking points.   Some will say it's the same problem with the left and centre - facts and evidence are facts and evidence.

  3. Soccer never caught my imagination. Having it in Qatar certainly takes away from the image of it being the people's game.

    The president said today words to the effect of 'I feel Qatari. I feel Arab. I feel gay. I feel disabled etc' - that was bizarre. Comparing being bullied for having red hair to the treatment of minorities in Qatar. Then basically saying that criticism of Qatar is ripe coming from Europeans, based on their history, which is straight out of the authoritarian playbook i.e. no one is perfect so no one can judge. 

    First game is at 3am Australia time so won't be something I have to consider.

    True, supports the OP.

     

    Britain did not experience the boom that had characterized the U.S., Germany, Canada and Australia in the 1920s, so its effect appeared less severe. (wiki)

     

    My mum remembers the depression in Australia and eating rabbit off carts.

     

     

    Thank you for coming and thank your mother for the rabbits.  Apparently that came from the depression in Australia when food was scarce and rabbits were cheap or free if you caught them

    That's because we have low IQs. I'm also an antivaxxer by the way, maybe that explains it.

    I don't want 2 more years of this. Trump supporters had some excuse back in 2016, though many could see him for what he was back then, but in 2022 it is my humble opinion that you should have worked out that he is not a person deserving of support.

  6. Things like this can be a touch annoying but for 99 baht specials you expect less e.g. rather than a meal and a side dish of rice you just get some rice with a much smaller portion on top . You gets what you pay for. Not sure where you are getting a seafood meal for two for 300 baht but it sounds a bit scary. Suppose you might get some squid with rice or something. No fish. 

  7. No one probably cares about you one way or the other. Everyone's got their own problems and niggly issues with each other. Do your job. Go up to someone and ask about their weekend. Bet you they'll be friendly and one battle won.

    Give each person the benefit of the doubt once. Ask for a small amount of money once. OK. Second time too soon. No. 

  8. Scottish humor - 1949 movie Whisky galore is a good example. Distrusting, passionate, conflicted, slow to trust you but then a lot of fun. A bit pessimistic. Trainspotting good example. 

    Irish humour - a bit more open, fun, dry, focused, and sometimes a bit of a serious tone. 

    That's my 2 cents as an Australian who saw it often through english eyes e.g. Ealing studios for Whisky Galore.

    I’m not sure which I detest more, people who were stupid enough to vote for her or those who would try to justify her as intelligent by blowing smoke up everyone’s ass, like you’re trying to do. 

    Boy that got nasty fast. Not sure how suggesting that if you haven't heard her words in some detail on a range of topics outside of a right wing mouthpiece, it might be worthwhile doing so, is insincere on my part. 

    That is if I understand that turn of phrase. Had to google it. I find when people get rude they have run out of ideas.

    I have not said she is perfect or that I concur with all her ideas e.g. immigration. But to compare her intelligence to Boebert and the like indicates to me you haven't heard much from her directly. I like the fact that she speaks sincerely and with a bit of passion even if it gets her in trouble with the right - people do learn too.
