Thailand

Played golf early this morning there were bits of me that got cold that had not been cold for years. Probably too much information!

Global Colding where I am, 12C this early a.m. on the golf course.

Scalloped potatoes, roast fried or baked, where I come from and it's not Germany. Fish and scalloped potatoes anyone?

It is literally now called the "Burning Season" and is expected that government will fail to do anything to address the problem. People expect to get sick from the smog, hospitals make provision for the influx, and long term effects on the young will take time to come through but likely to be disastrous. Committees will be formed-again, people will die from the cumulative effects of the smog. The rain will come and all will be forgotten for another year.

Yes, some Province 90 day reports are approved at weekends. Chiang Mai for sure.

Really tasty fish and chips at Gekko yesterday one of the best I have had for a long time and just 165 baht. Would never consider having it delivered there is no way fish and chips travels well.

That's it the last two episodes- bye Vera, great show!

Musk will be along soon to stoke the fire. He is really having a go at the UK and Germany on the law ,politics etc from his safe X haven in Trumps mansion. Some sort of agenda to stir up Europe perhaps on behalf of Putin?

If you read the multiple posts on de facto President elect Musk's X you will see the paid MAGA influencers pushing the premise that the bomber was an immigrant who came through Eagle pass despite knowing he was an American vet. This is to push Trump's deportation policy. No sign of them being removed. Fox "news" also pushed the "immigrant" story before having to recant later in the day.

Chiang Mai was a very busy forum in the past now only a few posts from the same few sources and the occasional resurrected posts so perhaps it's a tend for most of the local forums?

Re-watching inspector George Gently with Martin Shaw. Still worth a shot particularly if you haven't seen it before.

Yes TM30 online can issue a certificate of notification. You click on the magnifying glass icon on the persons information and can then print out. Must be done within 7 days of initial notification.

Kennedy was assassinated. I was a very green sprog in the RN, we were all expecting to be shipped off to fight the Russian hordes. Re-watching inspector George Gently with Martin Shaw. Still worth a shot if you haven't seen it before.

Been sucking it up for over 20 years now and don't do anything special to alleviate the situation as not really found it necessary. Do everything much the same as I would in the rest of the year, love Chiang Mai and not going anywhere else.

Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee - fascinating documentary!

Try fmovies.vg via Brave.com browser to avoid spam. Currently watching series 5 after a month of bingeing on it. Still one of the best series around

Group of us topped at the door many years ago probably as much smoke then as now.

Best bread in Chiang Mai is the bread my missus makes by a country mile!

Took me 22 years to make a post total that some do in a few months!

Re-watching Boardwalk Empire, still as good as it was 14 years ago. Worth a look if you have not seen it before. "Boardwalk Empire is a period drama focusing on Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (based on the historical Enoch L. Johnson),[7] a political figure who rises to prominence and controls Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s."

X has been dominated by myriads of MAGA influencers whose posts are usually enhanced /reposted by Musk or one of his aliases. Democrats and Republican representations are almost an even split.

Joan - watched first episode , good. Joan is a British crime drama miniseries created by Anna Symon for ITV. Sophie Turner plays real-life character Joan Hannington, a figure known as "the Godmother" by certain aspects of the British criminal underworld Conflict Finish TV series with English subtitle, very watchable. imo! A small, Finnish seaside town is preparing to celebrate midsummer's eve. An unknown enemy arrives

The more I see of things like this tells me this world of ours is completely <deleted> up and there does not appear to be any cure coming soon.

I don't see anything in the post to indicate plastic surgery?
