Iranian state television claims that the doors at Fordow were damaged so, unlike when the USMC kicked over a fruit stand on Grenada, we really don't know if this mission was a successful as claimed.

This "my girlfriend is different" story brought to you by... Seriously though, countless foreign men have ponied up and thought nothing of it. Some have a successful and enduring relationship like yourself which speaks more for their fundamentally decent, broad minded and understanding human nature than many here see as male weakness. PS: My girlfriend (and wife and mother) of 18 years is different too.

And it all ended happily ever after. Remember Playschool? Is this a "round window" story?

It's rather dated and increasingly irrelevant too, but then again, so is the alleged friend of the OP. Is there a cheap novel about the farang who marries a respectable, professional woman, closer to his age, a teacher that he met in a dating website? He took care of the outstanding car note and paid-off around 50 k baht of his new love's "debt"...without realising that was just the interest on her remortgaged home. Since she was due to retire (mandatory) in a few years, she realised that her pension alone wouldn't keep her from the poor house (and a new car) so she pulled the time-served "bar girl" game. The best bit is she didn't even have to get drunk or naked, let alone have sex with the idiot for all these gifts to fall into her lap.

And you aren't

But nobody here is talking about common Thai nicknames as written in the Thai language. Except you and @Maestro

Ah yes, central Bangkok. Carry on.

Yes you do. There are plenty of old ladyboys in Thailand. They don't just suddenly revert to being a bloke. Maybe you have to actually live in Thailand or possibly widen your horizons before this becomes obvious.

Agreed. No therapy is needed when it's just your usual prepubescent or preadolescent curiosity. How parents these days allow themselves to be hijacked by this gender-curious nonsense is beyond me. Personally, I grew out of it when I outgrew my big sister's clothes and shoes.

Of course you believe the right-wing populist media and the evidence presented therein by a pollster that got the 2024 election result right. I have no problem with that either.

The troublemakers are in the Thai senate. They are easy to spot. They mostly wear yellow.

Have you noticed how images of Buddha in Thailand have bigger faces than images of Buddha in Cambodia?

Because the top international schools in Thailand have a lot of white European (and American) teachers.

Or she could simply be, like myself, numerically dyslexic. PS: I'm a retired white European (who doesn't do X)

So, about the same as all these white European janitors that have retired in Thailand? You know who you are.

Which one is the "MRNA shot"?

Ah yes, the polls. They have always been a safe predictor of results, regardless of what happens in the interim. But, as you correctly point it, it is simply my suggestion, and it differs from your opinion. An opinion which I have declined to label as 'Nonsense'.

Thanks for that link. CNN considers that the MAGA faithful in government will (reluctantly) play "follow my leader." I suggest that those who voted for him, and ultimately gave him the job, may not, especially if his decision results in US servicemen and women coming home in body bags.

It has a whole lot to do with MAGA and keeping a slew of his more conservative elected followers and support base, who loudly decry any US involvement in foreign conflicts, onside. A misstep in the next two weeks could shatter those rather thin house majorities, just in time for the mid-term 'bloodbath' and the inevitable, final two years of a lame duck presidency. Netanyahu's questionable decision to attack Iran came within hours of his fragile, right-wing coalition government narrowly defeating a no-confidence vote. The suggestion has been made that committing to attack Iran was a condition of securing critical, last-minute life-support for his government. I think Putin, Xi and Kim are the only despots who can do what they want with impunity. The tin pot dictatorships in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America aren't in the same league.

So absolutely nothing to do with the total lack of enforcement of the existing, very adequate road traffic laws by the police? I see.

How did Acosta "attack the dead" exactly? Why does Trump's reported umbrage need your endorsement? Why did you just assume that I must be lowlife lefty scum?

Good man.

It's always a Chang...

Yes, free press here is several years, possibly decades away.
