  1. Shouldn't that read LOW RENT, not low budget!! Jus saying...
  2. That's against medical code of practise and against Thai law, it doesn't sound like it was very acute. Against medical law or not ,it happened. Not very acute ...they operated immediately and found I had a burst appendix, with GANGRENE and APENDIX CANCER showing up on biopsy. !! An emergency hemicolectomy was then performed to prevent spread of any cancer. After 3 weeks when I was fit enough to fly I returned to blighty on a business class flight(paid by insurance for chemo as I didn't want to work away from home and be treated in Thailand which although the treatment would have been the same ...would not have been funded by my insurance) Happily I fully recovered ☺
  3. I personally turned up at a Thai private hospital with acute appendicitis and they would not admit me at all until they had a deposit from my credit card!! All my subsequent treatment had to be claimed for cup front on my card as the Insurance Company were so slow!!! (I got it back later). I assume public hospitals are different?? So Mr Penson and all his mates seemingly couldn't dummy up this amount between them for him to pay back later??? But they can all afford a holiday in Phuket??? Draw your own conclusions!!
  4. A couple of years ago I took a PAL flight. Dozens of Filipino passengers were allowed to totally ignore the hand baggage rules and boarded with several heavy bags each..totally ignored by the gossiping and preening flight attendants. Result: the plane was found to be overweight and some hold luggage ..including all of my own was deplaned!!! On arrival in Surigao I was given the princely sum of 1000 pesos ( about 15GBP) as compensation to buy a few clothes till mine turned up..and I even had to fight for that!!! I support the airlines in checking passenger weights ...including their carry on luggage. At the moment those of us who keep to the rules are punished for the benefit of greedy passengers who won't pay for extra hold luggage and try and sneak it on the plane.
  5. Forget who hypothetically offed these two creeps. The problem then would be the succession in each country. We might end up with even worse lunatics in charge ...with their fingers on the big red button!!!
  6. The Dutch drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of cheese, and are now the tallest people in the world !!!!!! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/sep/17/why-does-worlds-tallest-populace-dutch-seem-to-be-getting-shorter This article suggests that a dairy diet has helped the cloggies grow taller ..but the most recent generations by eating junk food have put this into reverse !!!
