The heat and humidity....and this is the winter?? Yes, I loved that I never got cold in LOS. 3. Weaving through rush hour traffic on a motorcycle taxi - petrified Are you mad? They have actual taxis in case you didn't notice, where you don't risk getting your knees crushed. Nothing is important enough to take a m'bike taxi for, IMO. 5. How nice and helpful everyone was, everywhere Still wearing the saffron glasses then? Wait till you get conned, or have to deal with immigration! although a somtam dish with a crab in it was whipped away from me, as it would 'make sick' If you ordered that you must have been wanting food poisoning. The crab is raw, and if you saw where the sewage goes you will never eat sea food in LOS.

It's mainly by the better off Saudis who think they are "special". We are just infidels, so it's only right that they can q jump in front of us. BTW, the "poorer classes" would be the "guest workers". Other than the Bedouin ( wonderful people ) I never saw a poor Saudi.

As it's a mainly Thai oriented forum, perhaps they should start using emojis with tones ie confused with high tone would be "I have no idea what you wrote" while low tone would indicate "I think I understand what you wrote, but I'm not sure".

It's nothing in LOS compared to Saudi. Just be grateful it's not as bad as there.

Is DeSantis not allowed to try again in the event of Trump being eliminated? Election's a long way off yet.

I don't like Trump, but I like his opposition ( Biden et al ) even less. If it takes Trump winning to give them a richly deserved slapping, so be it. PS, while I don't like Trump personally I like his policy of not starting wars very much. I also like his policies on immigration, and foreign affairs ( with the exception of those on Israel ).

No, I want Trump to win and take revenge on the Dems. They deserve him to win for their 90+ IMO politically inspired court cases. BTW is there such a thing as an anti Trump supporter? IMO one can be anti Trump, or a Trump supporter, not both at the same time. Of course one can BE an anti 'Trump supporter', and there are plenty of them on this forum.

If you had been following my posts on Ukraine you would know I'm against war. Had America used it's influence on Israel to create a Palestinian state thirty years ago, Hamas would not exist, October 7 would not have happened, the Houthis would not be targeting Israeli linked ships, and we wouldn't be watching 2.3 million people slowly being bombed to bits on tv. Next.

I have no idea why you think that would work. For starters they would have thought of that, and any successful assassination would only result in new leaders even more determined to punish America. Do you imagine that if Iran managed to assassinate Biden and the cabinet the US would just roll over and cry about it?

I served, but had I been told my lifespan would be measured in minutes, I might have changed my mind. Luckily my generation's war did not involve nukes.

If It's NATO vs Russia I doubt conscripts will make any difference. BTW, if it did come to that they will have a problem finding fit ones, as looking at porn social media in mummy's basement isn't really providing warriors. Apparently the UK is finding it hard to get medically approved volunteers for the military as so many youths are obese over weight and unfit.

I was going to post something similar. Seems a bit strange that it's OK for the west to ship billions of $ worth of arms and munitions to Ukraine, but not OK for other countries to ship weapons to Russia. Strange world we live in.

Exactly. Hamas would have to be insane to agree to it. IMO the hostages are the only thing preventing the israelis going full on monster. However, considering the statements earlier on, it's a considerable backdown for the israelis to even suggest a lengthy pause- I guess the gathering storm of world opposition must be worrying for them. BTW, I don't think it's a serious offer, they must know that it's unlikely for Hamas to agree, so they can then say "look there, it's Hamas refusing a pause, aren't they just terrible people?". I don't think that by now, many will accept that at face value. NB, the israelis don't seem to have offered to allow more aid in, so even if a pause is in effect, many Gazans will likely die of hunger, disease and cold.

Still with that BS I see. It was disregarded almost as soon as it was put out there. Have you forgotten Biden having to withdraw the comments he made? That sort of thing, along with calling a calendar a roster of Hamas and claiming a command center was under a hospital when they could not come up with any realistic proof, is why I do not consider anything from the IDF as trustworthy.

Put it on wheels and you can. OR leave the washing machine out far enough to get your arm down to the tap OR extend the wall pipe with an elbow and a piece of pipe to a tap mounted higher up. I like to turn taps off if I'm going to be away.

I get a few emojis, but mostly just text like in your post.

Sadly even that isn't an option any more ( not that I have any need for it now ). I used to use Cialis, but the last time I took it I almost died.

I've seen plenty of movies that look as if they were made in a dark room. It's very annnoying.

Apologies. That should have read "One good thing about DVDs is that they mostly have a subtitle option".

Silly me. I meant subtitle option. I think I must have been tired when I wrote that, as I usually check what I post for mistakes.

Do you never get tired of making it up, or do you think that if you make it up often enough we will believe you? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/record-number-migrant-border-crossings-december-2023/ In just five days last week, Border Patrol processed nearly 50,000 migrants who entered the U.S. illegally, with daily apprehensions surpassing 10,000 thrice, up from the 6,400 average last month, according to federal data obtained by CBS News.

IMO that applies to most if not all politicians. They usually ignore the voters till they need to get elected and then promise the earth to get the idiots to vote for them. Not just in America either. BTW, didn't Biden promise to unite America last election? How is that promise going? https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-vows-to-unify-america-that-job-has-become-dramatically-harder-11610723681 President-elect Joe Biden made uniting the nation among his most pressing priorities as a candidate.

I just checked on that and it's true! That's bad news indeed, as I don't think Haley has a chance of winning against Trump, and if Trump is out for any reason I don't want her to be POTUS, though even she would be better than the bumbler. Looks like it's going to be Trump against the mumbler after all.

Go Trump, go. Revenge will be sweet.
