An acquired skill. Cutting yer own hair. might not get ot right at first, but after a year or so it will become easier. Would you pay someone to cut yer nails? Of course you wouldn't. Nailclippers! Same with yer hair. Nowt to do with being a cheap charlie. Thriftiness is what I all it. If yer worried about what tyer hair looks like; get a hat. Bar girls don't care what yer hair looks like.

It you want to know about the 'lesser shelled snail', or 'long leg cricket', Wikipedia is your first port of call. But anything regarding people is too biased to be taken seriously, and certainly not factual much of the time.

Dear me. Even 100 baht is far too much. This is Thailand after all, not West London. Get yerself a rechargeable electric cutter, and once a month cut yer hair. Couldn't be simpler. So many lazy farang out there. And where I come from 'lazy' is the second worst word you can be called.

Fatima was much traveled in the Southern Hemisphere. Or outer edges if you consider the earth not to be spherical. She said the flight paths were far longer than they should be, and went in strange directions. And she should know.

So you say Richard. Fatima said differently. She came at it from a different viewpoint. Told me to do some investigating. Check on flight distances she said. I did. Now I'm 50-50. Did you know Richard, that a plane can't fly from the equator going north, over the pole, back to the equator the other side, and then carry on south over the south pole and back where it started? No one can explain that.

You are bang on the money about it being a rabbit hole Richard. One could argue the toss for 100 pages and not convince anyone of your point of view. Or have you mind changed by opposing arguments.

Reckon you are bang on the money Gary.

Don't agree with your stats Richard. I'm firmly in the middle section; the 2 billion that are unsure. I see both sides of the discussion. I was a spherical earther, until Fatima persuaded me to look at the flat earth theory. By far the majority still believe the earth is spherical. But is that number diminishing?

It's all over bar the moaning and groaning. Pool took 4 points from two very difficult games. And The Gunners lost at home to The Irons. Unbelievable! Forest took a lot of hope to Newcastle only to leave disappointed. The Cherries lost at home. Get the trophy from Manchester. Dust it down. Take the light blue garb off, and sent it to Liverpool for safe keeping, until it can be officially handed over. Perhaps with 4/5, or even 6, matches to spare.

I'm not in agreement with you Jimmy. My take, is that there are over one BILLION people in the world that think the earth is flat. Do they know something that the spherical earthers don't? There is so much stuff that is hidden from us. Why can't you fly from the southern part of Chile to Sth Africa? look at a globe. It's just a short hop. But on a flat earth plan they are opposite each other. One earlier poster (@Surasak) said that he had not fallen off the edge of the world. Of course not. The earth is surrounded by a mile-high mountain of ice. Why do you think the rabid Climate Changers are are so worried? If the ice melts away, it could expose the very edge.

I've got a dodgy hip as it goes. I keep it in check with exercise, diet, fasting and a couple of Magnesium tabs every now and again. Encourage the body to self-heal if you get my drift. But you raise a good point Jim. If I was in an accident and hurt myself to the extent that I needed to see a doctor, I probably wouldn't care too much if the white-coat was a lady. But if she was petite and looked as though she couldn't lift weights, I would probably pass. And this is my point. Why do some women want to become dentists? It take a fair bit of strength to pull out a deep rooted tooth. Equivalent to lifting 24kg with one hand I reckon. A lady dentist ripped my gum to bits a few years back in London. Took my mouth 6 months to recover. Not been to a dentist since. Lady dentists are control freaks. In fact they are so freaky I will not walk past a dentist. Prefer to cross the road.

Certainly do. Can't stand dentists. Don't trust them Especially lady dentists.

Sling shot. Sandals. Wooden fences.

This brings the character of Pakistani people into focus. I can assure the hairdresser that they are not all like that. Personally, I wouldn't pay 500 baht for something you can do yerself. Same with dentists and chiropodists. Cut yer own hair, and give the saved 500 baht to a street beggar.

I reckon your spirit level got everyone thinking. Now that you have broken it, well, on a spirit, credibility is now somewhat dissipated. But on a serious note. There is an easy way to prove the earth is in fact flat. And the concept is not a million miles away from your spirit leveler promotion. What we could do is get a hose pipe - say 100 miles long - and fill it with water, when it is full, the water will be the same height at either end. Proof! Easy peasey, lemon squeezy. There are so many easy ways to prove the earth is flat. One is by running in different directions - over say 200 metres -and carefully timing oneself. All the times will be exactly the same. Proof! Another is by stringing a line between Cape Horn and Cape Cod, and pulling it really tight. Proof!

Why invent the wheel when everything can be carried on yer head?

Agree! There are hundreds of them in Eastern Spain. Met a few when I lived there. Fortunately Fatima was intact. She had wonderful breasts.

My ex was black, African and a Muslim. Often think of her praying at the side of the bed.

That's two 'fruitcakes' on here then. I'm not saying there no no viruses, I say they: 1 - Are Indistinguishable from other cell, and tissue, debris, under electron microscopy. 2 - Have never been isolated. 3 - Have not been shown to cause anything bad within the body. I say that viruses probably aid the elimination of dead cells and body parts. As there are no viruses that cause disease; what is the point of vaxxes? It's all a big (very big) money making scheme. Simply keeping the populas in fear, so they are reliant on Big Pharma concoctions to save them

Great pics Chris. Brings back memories. Hua Hin. Used to play chess on Friday evening in the room above the chippy. Quite liked it the place. Me looking north. Hua Hin harbour! There was a good fishing place about 10k west of the town. Belonged to John Smith's brother I believe. Mrs Mump caught a Julian Price carp. Never seen one before that day. The area was quite clean back then. Last there 16 years ago.

It's only a sequence of zeroes and ones in a computer. No internet no AI. We should't be taken in by this nonsense. Just people trying to get easy money.

Did you happen to take note of the batch number your jab came from? If you did, and it was on the hot batch list; you are brown bread now anyway. So not to fret. If you had a placebo, you will pass away with old age. www.howbadismybatch.com Dr D Cahill, reckons that anyone having a 'hot' jab, will have serious effects within 5 years.

That's a really sad story.

Yow! We are on a really good run. Brought in couple of fresh faces. Next two games are toughies. Away to both Wanderers and Brum. Stockport are a big danger. They are on a good run too. Beat us last time we met on 1st Feb. Barnsley and Hudders have nosed-dived. That helps us. We just have to keep pushing on.

The EPL title is for Liverpool to lose. The hard work has been done. They have the Ch Lg to contend with. But The Gunners have also to move forward there. Although Pool have a couple of tough aways in May, they also host The Gunners on the 10th of that month. But, I reckon by then, it will be as good as over. My forecast. And I'm never wrong. Pool to win the league with 87 points. At least 6 points clear.
