Yes on Biden and no on Harris.

It's not as divided as people think. It was more divided during the late 1960s and early 1970s, of course there was no internet then. Then there was that nasty interlude between 1861 - 1865. Even during the American Revolution George Washington said something to the effect of "one-third are with us, one-third are against us and one-third don't care." Trump is a nightmare though.

Trump is no patriot, he just pretends to be to fool those who are simple enough to vote for him. Let's recall how he called those buried in Arlington "suckers" for getting killed for their country saying "I just can't understand it". One general replied, "I wouldn't expect that you would." Trump's loyalty is to himself and money. He's made close to $2 billion since he took office in January. Yeah, wear your silly hat with pride.

Spot on!

The deal will be simple: keep your mouth shut about Trump and you will be home by Christmas. Say anything about Trump and you will die in prison. This is the most corrupt regime in US history.

I've visited close to 80 countries and some for stretches long enough to fairly call it "living there". I love Thailand but I would never want to live there. As for the US, millions of people are risking their lives to sneak in every year, so there must be some appeal. I am very concerned about the direction the US is taking under Trump. He appears intent on creating some sort of police state and taking away freedoms, but I don't think he will be successful although it's very concerning. As far as the UK, which I have visited probably 35 times over the last 50 years, NFW. Between Thailand, US and the UK, the UK would be dead last. In fact, in regard to all of Europe, I would judge it in the lower 25% of desirability as a place to live. Within the UK, if I had to choose, I would prefer Scotland, then Wales, then Northern Ireland and England last. The UK lost the plot some time ago and I presume that is why so many expats on this Board are British, because they don't want to live there. That being said, the UK does have some wonderful things about it like its pub culture, its marvelous history and the beauty of its countryside, especially on a sunny spring day. In fact, all countries have good and bad aspects. Just my two satangs.

Take it from someone who has been around the block with many Thai ladies spanning decades: The answer is "no, so sorry." And if she doesn't like it, I'd drop her like a bad habit. You're not her ATM. You can easily find a lovely replacement. As one old Thailand hand told me some years ago: "beautiful Thai ladies are like tuk-tuks, they are everywhere."

Fat-arsed, fat-headed and drunk, has to be a Brit. Check for bad teeth to be sure.
