They made a whore out of Lisa. So sad. She needs a new fashion advisor.

I sent money from Europe at 9 am on a Monday and it did appear until 4 pm on Tuesday. Not impressed.

Your mistake was to consult AI when you should have consulted real quality medical advice such as Youtube. Knees over Toes guy will have you sorted in 3 months.

That's great, got a visitor coming. They'll be pleased

This has not happened yet?

I was in Pattaya recently, and it's absolutely teeming with Russians. Russian families, Russian single guys, Russian prostitutes, even the stores have signs in Cyrillic. It looks like Russians have taken over Pattaya.

The EU could have taken away most of the City of London's business, had it wanted to do so. Clearly it would be in Frankfurt's interest to establish itself above the City of London as Europe's main financial market place. The UK looks more and more like a failed state anyway, but the loss of the financial services sector would not be mortal, the UK has pharma and many other sectors still for a prolonged decrepit decline. The UK's decline would not affect the EU all that much. The EU could regulate away a lot of the City's business, and they can still do so in the future, if they ever decide to do it.

Indeed. It looks like the German regulators' abysmal past performance scared off the French, quite rightly. But the biggest reason appears to have been that neither the French nor the German banks wanted to stop using UK clearing houses, ostensibly due to cost, but those banks are so intertwined with London, many of their main personnell would have worked in London, that they saw no point in castrating the City. It would have required someone like Trump, to push through the reform required, or else the interested parties water down the intended policies to suit themselves. Of course the EU can always pull the trigger on this in the future, and in any event settlement is not the only City of London slice of business the EU could take. People who say regulation doesn't matter, don't know the history of the Eurobond. It matters a lot.

Brioni. The man has style on top. I normally wear Canali, but Brioni is almost as good.

Never mind the bullet. Check out that suit!

Looks like it was France that saved the City of London, as they feared Germany more than the UK: "The EU could have used its regulatory powers to shift the business inside its own borders, and kill a lucrative chunk of the City’s business. London’s rivals hoped that, once ‘clearing’ moved to a different city, there would be a powerful incentive for banks and brokers to follow suit. As it turns out, however, while some trades will have to be transferred to EU clearing houses, the bulk of them will be allowed to stay in London. The French, somewhat unexpectedly, sided with the UK because they were worried that, if the business moved, it would go to Frankfurt rather than Paris. That would make the German city, already home to the European Central Bank, the key hub for the whole of the continent. It turns out that France may well fear Germany more than it hates Brexit: even helping the British was better than allowing its neighbour to claim power over the bloc’s clearing houses.

Europe, following Brexit, could have completely destroyed the City of London as a viable financial market place, but instead showed major leniency, allowing equivalence of rules to prevail. Why Frankfurt and Paris did not take the chance to destroy London as a competitor is a mystery.

Well, once they pay for hiring the donkey there's not much profit left I guess.

This is extremely annoying. I get this all the time in Thai restaurants, when I'm with a Thai girl the Thai waitress ignores me as if I don't exist and starts talking to the Thai gf. I asked the Thai gf multiple times to tell the waitress to talk to me, not a chance. The only option is learning Thai.

It was exactly the same in San Sai, 5.30 am, 6 am. They know no shame. From now on I also check first thing if there are monastery speakers in the street.

Or just buy Australian beef.

I also get annoyed by these trucks with loudspeakers. It's the shamelessness to think they're so important they can drive around bothering everyone with their bs. I actually thought of confronting one of the drivers, but thought the better of it since I don't want my visa cancelled and the guy is just a tool anyway. In 2019 I: had the misfortune to rent a dream house located in San Sai, there were loudspeakers down the road. Every morning this infernal monastery would blast some monk telling you some useless crap. I feel blessed to be in the Mooban I'm in where the only problem is a grandma speaking at the top of her lungs every morning.

In terms of nominal GDP, the United States has a significantly larger economy than Iran. In 2025, the US GDP is estimated at $30.507 trillion, while Iran's is $463.747 billion. This means the US economy is roughly 66 times larger than Iran's in nominal terms. So between the US and Iran, it is Iran that has the deep pockets?

The ones who rent the beach beds? I think it's 200 Baht per hour. No special services.

The link between the S&P Index and Gold is often debated. Whilst the general view is that there is a negative correspondence, ie when the SP goes up Gold goes down, the opposite has also been known to happen. For instance in the Corona virus crash, both tanked in tandem. So whilst it's often true that a negative correspondence exists, this is not always the case. It depends on macro economic factors. In short the market is not fully predictable.

If you're concerned whether you spelled your name correctly you can check the main page of your passport. It's the first page. Check for your first name, it should be under there.

Indeed "Her online profile advertised services at US$600/hour". So the Bangkok Post is tastefully keeping the services she listed for 600 USD an hour unspoken. Journalists are so infuriating. What could it be?

Why would he come out against self-defence? Doesn't even make sense.

She doesn't look Russian, she does look Uzbek. Uzbek women also feature heavily in bestiality porn. I once read in a research paper in gender studies.

Of course, how could one not side with the oppressed, whose land is stolen mercilessly. When given the choice between a government that has murdering children as official state policy and the victims of landtheft, only a heartless monster or a moron would opt for the childkillers.
