I used to love and I still miss the UK pantomimes. Both my first wife and I, and our son when he was old enough, Used to go to the panto at Wimbledon Theatre. Oddly enough our son is now 45, heterosexual and married with 2 children. Having watched the pantos with drag artists and the leading man (who was usually a lady) never changed him at all.

Liz Cheney won't rule out 2024 presidential bid
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Scorned by who exactly? And the current choices for the GOP are who? Trump, DeSantis and as a very very wild card MTG. Great choice to bring the USA away from the insanity it is wrapped up in currently -
It isn't funny. The old man could easily have had an accident and killed somebody. I had a blackout 3 months ago at age 78, woke up sometime later, not knowing where I was, what the day or time was. I spent 3 days in hospital and quit driving when I realised what had happened to me. Of course, I could have ignored the warning signs and carried on driving and could easily have had an accident and killed somebody. Then I would have been the point of the post with people asking why I kept driving.

Bangkok: Residents Appeal to BMA to Fix Broken Sidewalk for Road Safety
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Of course the residents could have hired a company to have fixed the pavement at their own expense. Perhaps some of the vehicles belong to the residents themselves. Build up the kerb to perhaps 30 cm high, remove the vehicles or block them in, lay new, thicker paving slabs. Do the job yourselves and save the BMA the cost. Then it will be rebuilt the way that the residents want and then perhaps they will stop whining. -
I agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris She is so useless that she has had a strong career in law enforcement as the AG for California from 2011 to 2017 and as a U.S. senator representing California from 2017 to 2021. Kamala Devi Harris[a] (/ˈkɑːmələ ˈdeɪvi/ (listen) KAH-mə-lə DAY-vee;[2][3] born October 20, 1964) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first African-American and first Asian-American vice president. There is a lot more in the link if you can be bothered to read it. Please remind us all of your qualifications to do the job of VP of the USA. You claim that she is useless, so what does that make you?

IMO it is just another nonsense word like cofveve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covfefe#:~:text=Covfefe (%2Fkoʊˈf,instantly became an Internet meme. Covfefe (/koʊˈfɛfi/ koh-FEH-fee,[2] /kəvˈfifi/)[3] is a nonsense word, widely presumed to be a typo, that Donald Trump used in a viral tweet when he was President of the United States. It instantly became an Internet meme. Six minutes after midnight (EDT) on May 31, 2017, Trump tweeted, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe".[4] He deleted the tweet six hours later but implied that its wording was intentional. Most media outlets presumed that he had meant to type "coverage". White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer stated, "I think the President and a small group of people know exactly what he meant."

The good news is that I don't need to rent or buy an oxygen bottle. I did see one lady in the hospital with an oxygen bottle strapped to her wheelchair.

I hope so too but I will wait to see next Friday's results first.

Does that mean that now he can never be POTUS? He is only 73 after all.

Instead of books being banned (which are freely available on the internet anyway), IMHO a better scheme would be to withdraw the child from the class during that period of time, and the complaining parent MUST attend the school and look after their child during that period of time. NO excuses should be accepted from the parent. If it ruins the parents day, tough.

My Thai MIL came to live with her daughter (my wife) for about 5 years in a small house we had built for her until she died. Though she was several years younger than me she was the matriarch of the family and was respected, looked after and looked out for during her remaining years. She became a part of my family and I became part of hers.

First visit to Naresuan hospital Friday 02 June 2023 Documents needed for the first visit 1 Passport 2 A print out of any meds you are currently taking 3 A printout of your current problems and any diagnosis you may have had You will also need to fill in the form given to you in English. Note if you can walk on your own, it is easy to fill in but you need a Thai partner or a Thai friend along to help. If you are wheelchair bound there are plenty of wheelchairs available, but porters are scarcer than hen’s teeth. Filling the form in whilst sitting in a wheelchair is not easy. Finding the hospital is the easy part, finding the right place to be is not. We went around a few times and asked the way before we wound the right place. I was given a wheelchair by my wife, pushed inside and left while she found somewhere to park and found the shortcut back to me. Having registered we joined a queue at counter 3 and were sent to the General Practitioner department. For some completely unknown reason that department is raised about half a metre above the main floor level. Fortunately there is a small nurse assistant who is very strong and between my wife and her I was shunted up and met the nurse. She registered me and I was given an ECG straight away then taken to the X-Ray department for a full chest X-Ray. Back to the GP department to sit and wait for several hours. Luckily my wife found a place selling Thai food and brought me a sliced Thai chicken sausage for my lunch. The IS a sort of 7/11 but it is unmanned and consists of 2 vending machines. Note well. Bring something to read or do as you will be sitting around for hours. There are plenty of seats, wide corridors, clean toilets, nurses etc but it seems NO porters. The doctor is available after 1 pm and needs to know if 1 you smoke or not 2 drink alcohol 3 what meds you are on 4 how many pillows you use 5 any health problems from your past 6 other odd seemingly unrelated questions but useful in her diagnosis of you In my case the ECG showed that I have arrhythmia which I knew anyway and the X-Ray showed that I have a lower lung infection which she thinks is pneumonia. I was given Azithromycin 250 mg 2 daily before breakfast enough for 1 week and a return trip is scheduled for Friday 9th June. The financial cost was 175 thb for the meds, 200 thb for the X-Ray, 200 thb for the ECG and 50 thb for the doctor's fee. I forgot page 2. Sorry. page 2 The physical cost was sitting in a Thai sized wheelchair for about 6 hours and hours of boredom. We then went to the pharmacy/cashier to pay the bill after which my wife dumped me by the exit and got the truck. It was about a 2 ½ drive each way and I managed to doze for an hour on the way home. Was it worth it? Yes, but next week I will see if they have a larger wheelchair. Bring a spare phone battery for your partners mobile and I took my tablet to read Ebooks. I also learned a bit more about the settings on my mobile as I was so bored.

Really?? We are not allowed, according to you, to defend President Biden by comparing him with ex president Trump, who you may have noticed, was firmly beaten during the presidential elections yet still cries like a baby, about the election being stolen from him.
-
And how many lies has Trump spewed out over the last few years. Many of the people around Trump told him what to do as well, and he sacked most of them for NOT agreeing with him
-
I don't know how anybody keeps defending a serial liar as a fit person to be president of the USA.
