Now you're just comically lying.

Love how Putin mocked him for applying to the CIA. Waiiiiiit a minute, if Tucker applied to the CIA, then Tucker is deep state, and then some. What does a Q-anon retard have left to believe in? "Trump derangement syndrome. And: Orange Man bad, amIright?. Take that, libtards. We had eight years to come with some new jokes, but we never made it past the original first two".

As an active member, you should be trying to coax me to come. 'Can't help but notice how evasive you are on the dodgy fruit issue. Who got to you?

My wife is a letter grade better looking than me. Hoping for any more is inviting disaster. -Wrong post, whatever.

If she's too fat, you have to go reverse cowgirl -and you're the cowgirl. I'd get on a plane too.

Would that be like the 1970's, black and white, rented tv from a village shop news?

What about English women being barking mad and wanting to be spanked? Very hard to find Roi Et. Give me a nutter I can go to town on with my belt over a bland Ka-Starfish type.

I hate English womanhood even more than you do (I'm half-English), but is this sweater-wearing insult your own invention, or is it in common usage? Why can't those pub slags wear a sweater on a cold day? This seems to be the most incomprehensible of disses. If you did indeed average 8 free trips to the Thai well a year, and then amended that with 15 quid pops, what percentage of your sex life was Thai-only? When was the last time had sex against a car in a chavvy car park? Not that I'm reminiscing or anything.

Maybe lead with: I believe in Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve.

What's the air quality like? We nixed India for April for that reason. Last year, we did The Cameron Highlands. Pretty and mellow, but very dull, Just a strip of samey S.Indian chapati joints. But very cool for most of the day. (I'll be in Borneo and Sulawesi this year).

How many free except for pad thai sex encounters in the last 21 years? Feel free to round up.

Our dear leader weighs in: "An expat -a bigly expat, the biggliest expat in expat-dom, really- asked me, asked me, 'Sir, what if I need the Marines to come and save me from being sodomized by Somalian pirates, Sir, what if?" "I'd ask him: Are you paid up in full on your income tax? -They're laughing at us, the Somalian pirates: I'd like to wipe that Somalian grin off of their too-tan faces- BUT, are you, are you in possession of a PAID stamp in your passport?". "Because if you're not, I want to send those Somalian Pirates vats of KY Jelly and urge them to go to town on you, you know, you know, like line up, tag team-style. You know, do whatever the hell they want".

The smoke will get you before the heat. The higher the mountain, the duller the town.

-But not much. Just closer to Chiang Mai to mitigate the disappointment.

What happens at the meetings and would it be of interest for a first time visitor? What's the nationality mix?

In Chiang Mai, they have something even stupider, called The Algonquin Club. Surely, only Gammaglobule alone here will know that the Algonquin club was a fabled round table of wits, from which the phrase, "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses" emerged. You have to be invited to join. I got an invite. I looked at their website. They had a lecture from a guy calling himself "the bad boy of finance", so basically blowhard-central. The person who recco'd me (my estate agent) said it was about a thou a year to be part of the magic. You can google it yourself to laugh at it.

I think the buffet is 200 baht. But BritmanToo goes to a German buffet for that amount. So is that really a discount? Partic if it's a watermelon/overripe pineapple/hard cantaloupe fruit selection as per a usual discount hotel buffet?

You're gamely fighting a fight I already won against myself. What are people's (who've been or never been) perceptions of these clubs? Is it OK to have a broad opinion of something without extensive, first hand knowledge? If I went to the buffet would that sole appearance fully legitimize my thoughts, or would I need to do a tour, including Roi Et?

I have steadfastly dodged popping in to the expat society (or whatever it is) in Chiang Mai for 18 straight months. Even with the tantalizing offer of a discount buffet. It's down to sheer, ignorant predjudice on my part that they're going to be stiffs and do-nothings -based on nothing. Do you share my view? Based on what? Have you ever attended such a meeting? How wrong am I?

ThaiBeach, thanks for the good read about Antartica. You are one of the best writers here. And you just killed my desire to go there and saved me $20K. The walking tour is my least favorite kind of tour, I never make it more than half an hour before I start drifting away. Unless the leader is a mono-maniac on the subject, you can tell they're bored in the very special Khao Soi Noodle place for the millionth time. It all feels begrudging and desperate. And it's always too long. A good walking tour would run about 30 minutes. They make it long to justify the price, just like they give you too many French fries at McDonalds. I have abandoned walking tours in London, Paris, New Orleans (like, 3 times), and Hanoi. Another terrible idea is a cooking class. In Chiang Mai, they've had problems. So everything is pre-cut and then you're invited up individually for a festive turn at the stir fry. At the end, it's a feast of very blah Thai food, most of which has gone cold. That papaya salad has been shredded down to match stick size by nose-ringed backpackers. We had a chance to invest in one of the multiple seat, bicycle beer-dispensing contraptions. Hugely successful in the southern states. But subject to sudden regulatory change the first time they run over a child. A friend still has a horse and carriage for touristic rides around adowntown and clears about a grand a day. The ride costs about $2 a minute. Has anyone paid for a pricey carriage ride? Legend has it that Lampang has them.

Another just her and her piano good one

A pipe dream of a lot of potheads here is to have a pot tour: they take you to a pot farm, they take you to some pot places. Problem: Pothead only want to spend money on pot. A pot tour is pot-money thrown down the pot-drain.

My absolute fave of the 48 Laws of Power: Avoid The Unlucky.

With the Chinese thronging, If you didn't make a res here in Nimman, it's down to noodles on the corner if you want to go out to eat. Ginger Kitchen and Khao Soi Nimman have big lines. Booked Why Not? Italian 2 days ago. Got the last table.

I was amused to learn that calling people salty arises from the vocabulary of sugar babies. An unforthcoming sugar daddy = a salt daddy.
