GammaGlobulin

Truth be told.... I actually was forced to sit next to a Russian, today, at the bank. One of the worst experiences of my life. The clothes he was wearing were not enough color-coordinated for my tastes, and this was only one of his many offences. He was not a Dostoevsky, by any means. Now, I know what you guys have been complaining about. Still, this knowledge does not help me to deal with it. In the future, I will never leave my house.

Is JT ready to pass the torch....? But, then.... To whom? Nobody living, today, is qualified enough to take up JT's cudgels, for everything JT cares about, here on TV. Still, even Mick must stop singing, one day.....much as I wish this were not so. Age is the enemy of us all.

Why not? JT is a great poster. There has never been, and never will be, a poster as great as JT. Did he lose his connection? She..... Lost her connection..... JT is probably the ONLY one here who really understands me. I have been reading JT for years, now. He will be missed. "I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man....." Ah baby! Ah yeah! Do that! (Everybody is getting old, now. Hard to keep it up. Ah Yeah!)

Speaking of being tied down to one's seat. I would suggest that you search for one of JingThing's past posts, if you want to know more about being tied down. JT, himself, mentioned this being tied down. And, his post has stayed with me....til today. Maybe JT will comment further, since I would like to know more about this. Once cannot choose one's father. Neither can a father choose his son. Such is life.

No. There is no drug known to Man which can bring peace of mind, and relieve one of the travails of reality. Any drug, very soon, will cause habituation, and you will soon become addicted to any drug which may have temporarily helped, at first. SOMA is the only drug, maybe.... But this is just a fictional drug, created by Huxley. In reality, there is no known drug that will act, psychotropically, for and extended period of time, and still perform as it once did, when you took the first HIT. So, obviously, drugs are not the solution.

Yes. I must admit it. This is really what I had hoped to hear. Thank you so much. You have made my Christmas.... Like no one else ever did, nor ever will. I am feeling warm inside now. And I thank you.

As forum-friendly as you have proven yourself to be....then... You should be THE authority on the subject.....maybe....

Very thin.... As with my patience, in my old age.

Actually, what I had always thought, up until the moment I read your comment, is that feckless means what I had always thought it meant. However, the term "feck", as you seem to have used it, might mean something else. Then, I delved into the meaning of feck, and found that this word might be something Irish. Now, unfortunately, after all my research, I am, in fact... Just as confused as beore. Still, I am also more enlightened than before, which might be a good thing.

An Irish term, most likely.

There actually IS NO such category as Poster of the Year. Haven't you learned this by now? Therefore, no point in competing for a category that does not exist.

Incredible. Because.... I had thought that your first thought might have been...... GammaGlobule is here in the Farang Pub.

Dear Folks, I just noticed a new heading on TV that I had not seen before: So, the question is: Why do you think the Farang Pub is one of the TOP 3, and rightfully so? I have my opinion. And, what is yours? Regards, Gamma

Right, next time you are in the shop, and see the Maggi Brand, forever and for ever, you will always think of the most annoying content creator on the DIY Forum. This is my gift to you.

I am not sure...but.... Honestly, I would prefer that at AI LLMs had never been created. Almost worse than FaceBook. Why would anyone wish to read AI-text (by low-level commenters) on any site which is mostly for the purpose of contributing thoughts created by humans, and not robots? I just do not understand, I guess. I am confused, as always, about this.

Yes. You did. You must have the "Double G" on the brain, or something. Not sure why, though.... You want I should post another DIY Topic? (My final Christmas Gift to you, before the year, 2024, is out.)

I am sure that your must have realized that when referring to the toaster in question, I had used the term incinerator advisedly.

And, presumably, you also understood the many allusions in that tome?

a. No manual popup that I have found. b. In order to get it to popup manually, just dial back the setting to ZERO or off. c. I will give it a good cleaning. Then, test out on the lawn, and far away from the house. d. I will never used this indoors, again. This is a purely outdoor machine, same as an incinerator, etc.

So then. It was actually an Indian party that was too loud? Does not seem as if this apartment/condo/block has an especially upscale clientele. No way I could stay there, even for a day. Also, is this the same group of Indians that were throwing a big party on the flight from India to Thailand recently? Or, is it the same Indian group that exhausted the alcohol supply on the other flight from India. Concerning increase in arrivals from India, what is the most recent data. There are no Indians where I live. Only Thai people. People are quiet around here. I doubt that where I live might be of interest to Indians. No ladyboys, and no loud parties. It's best to carefully choose the environment before moving in. This is the first fault of the Farang. Know your environment.

His behavior is African. His passport is UK? How odd. At least, he knows how to dress to impress.

Thanks. I will watch it. Probably this evening, just in case the world ends before the 25th. PB has it, no doubt.

Thank you for your caring. I just purchased three smoke detectors. I had not been aware than anyone here cared two-cents for my safety. I purchased an X-Sense detector. I'm glad to know it's made in China.

I know what it is. It's a 12Liter XiaoMi toaster oven. Maybe you are correct. I should never again buy a toaster....at least not in Thailand. Either the heating element fails after less than a year. Or, my house gets filled with smoke which will probably never leave. Or, what next? House on fire? Such garbage I never saw before buying from a few local retailers or online retailers. No More. I just purchased 3 smoke detectors...but.....NOT.... From any retailer in Thailand.... I am not THAT crazy....maybe.... I think I might try your idea of a Toaster Oven. But, I will NOT buy it from around these parts.... My Chinese friends, many of whom are now living in Thailand for different periods of time tell me locally sourced products are overly-expensive and, just what I say, most garbage quality. You get what you pay for. Importers can easily go to the Canton Fair in GuangDong and get ANY kind of quality they like, at a corresponding price. I do not blame the Chinese manufacturers. I look to the importers and the people that encourage garbage consumption by not demanding higher quality, and being satisfied with what they are getting, which is inferior quality, and short-life-span junk.

So then... Will Taiwan soon fall like HK?
