I was talking about the UK not the US. There is zero need to stay in hospital following a cataract operation. It doesn't involve a lot of pain, so zero need for morphine. I even had ops with a General Anaeasthetic and went home the same day.

So much hatred on both sides I can't see any sort of peace between them. Welcome to the forever war, and there are enough Palestinians living outside israel to make it "uncomfortable" for israelis around the world for generations to come.

The UN would dispute that.

That makes no sense at all. Who is "they" and what do they have to do with Sudan and Burma?

How many of those great Oz beaches can I stay in a hut on the edge of the sand at a reasonable price? Kata . Kata is rubbish.

Isn't that akin to dictatorship? Biden is saying that a POTUS has no checks and balances whatever he chooses to do as long as it's outside the US. That's a very slippery slope indeed. If the courts don't say no to that, Biden could launch a first strike on Russia just because he wants to.

All just hot air and <deleted> from the W H pretending that they are doing something. Biden could have stopped it 5 months ago. No disagreement from me on that. Seems Trump isn't the only liar seeking re election. One can assume his support from Muslims is toast. Perhaps Kennedy may be the first independent to be elected POTUS. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office as Biden bewilderedly wonders how it all went so wrong.

Have they put public transport in Langkawi then? It's not very friendly making tourists use taxis. and the cable car on Penang is a great example of double pricing that makes it prohibitively expensive for non Malaysians- that's definitely not friendly.

I take it your "classy" does not refer to the big beach on west Penang island.

LOL. I don't know about "loved" but it certainly qualifies as the most boring Asian country I've been in. In a less than laudable achievement the men's toilet in the Butterworth railway station has to win the "most vile public lavatory in a public place" award. Those stairs must also make it victorious in the "most inaccessible public facility award".

Nothing wrong with properly built nuclear plants with backups that don't die if get wet, and don't have madmen experimenting with the buttons.

Did his nose grow while he was saying that?

Sorry, but I can see the hot air rising above them. Surely LOS is the hub of dreamy dreams dreamed up by publicity wonks to try and fool the sheeple. Baaaaa.

This forum occasionally gets surreal. On some subjects I would agree with you 100% and on others we are coming from 100% opposing viewpoints.

I believe the term used by leaders of totalitarian movements refer to them as "useful fools". Once they have achieved their purpose usually eliminated, far as I know. However, I doubt any state such as you describe will happen in Britain. It's too diverse now. IMO only possible in places like Afghanistan where they were never liberated in the first place.

I doubt Biden is capable of writing a speech anymore, so IMO it was his scriptwriter that did the plagiarizing, if true, and Biden just read it out.

You come across as a person that is not self motivating, and require other people to entertain you. I could try and explain, but I doubt you'd understand why some of us don't need other people to entertain us and can be happy just living in a quiet environment without gyms or bars etc. On Than Sadet I was content sitting in a cliff top restaurant looking at the view for an hour or two, or in a hammock in front of the cabin looking at the sea.

Sorry but I have no idea what point you are making about Buakhao and W S. I always took a girlfriend so I had no need for such anyway.

When I went the big condos south of the town all encroached below high tide level, so either you didn't walk along at high tide or the sand has accumulated in front of the encroaching embankments. I never went to beaches to swim. I went for the ambience. So, the water clarity was of no importance for me.

Then she shouldn't take the sprogs where they can get looked at by man pigs.

Why did you apologise? I'd have told her to take the kids to the other pool. I take it the entire post is satire?

LOL. I did all that, even lived with her for a year before getting married. Family OK ( then ), no red flags. Didn't make any difference to the end.

Being a cashier is easy work and it's not boring like pretending to like customers and hoping all night to get rented out. It's also regular money and they all share in the tips end of the day. What many farangs don't know, coming from a greed based culture, is that sometimes money isn't the objective.

Long post so I'll only comment on that. I had two LT relationships. Lived with a non hooker western woman same age as myself. Turned out to be a using <deleted> from hell. Married a Thai hooker, met her in a bar so I knew what she was, and she turned out to be a harpie from hell. In both cases I started the relationships believing that they were good women that I could have a future with. In both cases they were as good as it gets for the first year. Four years later with both and we were done. IMO the chances of finding Miss Right are as good as winning big on Lotto.

Do tell how we are supposed to know if she is a good girl or not? Do bad girls come with horns? None of the 50% of married men that got divorced knew their wives were not going to be Miss Right on their wedding day.
