I don't need a physics course to know that my dehumidifier does not warm the room. I need a heater to do that. Try real life and not university theories. No uni educated nurse I worked with was worth their pay till they'd had a year of real nursing in a hospital. That's why the UK would not take an NZ uni educated nurse till they have had a year of practical post grad. They had to be trained to take a BP properly, after 3 years of education.

The NZ pension is barely enough to live on in NZ and it pays less overseas. It would never afford a pleasant face to wake up to, so why bother? I would have to pay my own medical as well, and I'm too old to take the risk of no health insurance, which I couldn't afford anyway. That's why I moved back in the first place- now I don't even have enough to extend a non O- cost of living in NZ is a killer.

Only in countries with reciprocal pension agreements. Thailand is not one of them. I could live in the UK, but I'll never be that desperate.

I definitely saw the Swift photo with the cat lady comment. Perhaps she hadn't used it for Harris then. No surprises though. Swift isn't going to support Trump. Probably keep on going on wokey concerts. She needs a new concert manager. I like her songs, but the concert I saw was just cringeworthy. A man banging a broom is stupid.

I didn't and she didn't have anything other than spending other people's money.

She was given a job by Biden. She failed. That's a 100% failure rate.

As compared to the nothing much that Harris regurgitated.

I already said what the problem was. Try reading all the posts before running off with assumptions.

So you would accept German occupation in the east with it's attendant death camps as long as Britain wasn't affected?

Read the book Barbarossa, and be educated. Stalin was taken by surprise, and had done little to prepare. It was a rout by the Germans. It was only that Stalin was a monster and willing to sacrifice millions that they survived at all, till the allied weapons arrived. German tanks and tactics were far superior at the start. It was only Hitler interfering that turned victory to defeat. Even his refusal to allow the army to retreat probably led to the loss of Europe. The German machine foundered in Russia, not Europe. https://www.thenile.co.nz/books/stewart-binns/barbarossa/9781472279637?gad_source=1

Oooooh, get the lockdown and the mandatory masking going before it's shown to be another nothingburger.

Had Britain opted for neutrality, Hitler would have conquered the Soviet Union, and more than the estimated 20 to 40 million deaths of Barbarossa would have occurred. The Soviets only survived due to massive support of allied weapons, which was only possible because of Britain. Perhaps Soviet deaths don't count for you.

I love the humour in your posts. The electorate is meaningless in the election as you well know. If I were undecided before the debate I'd still be undecided re Harris. I could have written her answers before the debate. A whole lot of nothin' debate, from both of them. She didn't say what she'd actually DO about illegal immigration, the economy, inflation, israel and Ukraine- just a load of waffle.

Would you prefer it if he didn't believe what he was saying? When it comes to parroting lines I think that belongs to Harris. As genuine as a British royal souvenir made in China.

In your wet dreams. I doubt a single decided voter will have changed their mind and the undecided will remain thus. She is no JFK when it comes to public speaking.

I didn't think she performed badly, but that does not mean she performed well. Trump behaved himself more than expected. On the whole it was a boring debate, no fire, no crashes, no excitement, no passion, just blah. I can't stand Harris, but I have not excoriated her on this thread, unlike those that hate Trump, without, IMO, justification. He didn't shine, but neither was he a train wreck.

Not many, if at all. The danger with Harris is that she will likely continue Biden's IMO failed policies of war, war and more war.

I only heard her say that once. Which debate were you watching?

Hips are no big deal. They were something we did a lot of in orthopedics. Old ladies fall over and break their neck of femur all the time. Simple operation to insert a steel pin fixes it.

I miss eating cake.

OR, you could just have one of those medical alarms on you to call an ambulance if needed. Your friendly manager may not check on you for days, but if you don't get CPR within minutes after a severe heart attack you may as well look for the old man with the scythe to come a knockin'.

I eat whatever I like at the time. Why only this afternoon I ate gingernuts with my coffee instead of shortbread. It's great living alone as I can do almost whatever I like, and no one bitches about it. Thailand was better though as I could have whomever I liked to wake up with in the morning. That isn't even a possibility in this country.

I'd like to see Musk go to Mars and never return. I dislike Alphas of any colour or gender. They cause far too many problems for us Betas.

Do they have cute companions for us there too. If not, I'll pass.

My only hope for our world to survive is for an AI to take over as dictator. Politicians have IMO proven themselves to unfit to rule. End of voting- great.
