  1. Oxymoron - ethical politicians
  2. The Daily Heil/Fail/Bile is not a good source of truth-related information.
  3. Interesting paper
  4. H.L. Mencken quote: Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
  5. I think poverty & mental health issues are strongly intertwined in Thailand. So, have no hope for betterment in the quality of their lives, especially in the rural areas. So, young people run away to the Big City or descend into the abyss of Yabaland. HiSO do not care much. it seems.
  6. There is far left, at least in UK, there is the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) completely bonkers. Always appeared at any protest and tried to hijack it.
  7. Very dark in Li, Lamphun; been raining constantly now for about 30 minutes, no lightning so far.
  8. Never watched this. Hope to watch Doctor Who though with Ncuti Gatwa.
  9. He is MAGA. What else do you expect in terms of arguments?
  10. Very transparently stupid. All Russians (including the straight guys) must know by now that Ukraine is where many people will die in the Meat Grinder
  11. I thought if you crossed a zebra crossing in Thailand, you became a target. Always check in both directions when crossing a road in Thailand, if you want to live.
  12. Lots of poor Thais with mental problems in rural Thailand, not just in touristy places.
  13. This is a wonderful chat, so many suggestions for good music to listen to.😁
  14. Tropical rainforests in Antartica here we come!
  15. Yes, if I was in UK, I would consider but I am in Thailand and do not have much Thai language skills. Most important task is to learn to speak Thai and enjoy being with my partner.
  16. Of course not, but when people have dementia they often say things that are not acceptable.
  17. Useful info, will buy good alcohol when next coming back into Thailand.
  18. It would help with the extreme poverty here. I live in rural Thailand. Yes, I know all Thais think we are very rich, my partner is Thai, I have this from the horse's mouth.
  19. OMG - 400 baht is tiny amount of money.
  20. Skiving is just another word for thinking deeply about your job
  21. I would have suggested UK as best possibility based on knowing nothing else about the person.
  22. Thought of another 2 singers, one is Icelandic rock band Kaleo with the amazing main singer, and the other is the Breton folk singer Denez Prigent. Both extremely good singers in radically different styles of music
