  1. As I said on a different thread, a speaker would eventually get elected when the holdouts got what they wanted ( or as much as possible of what they wanted ). Was quite speedy compared to the nearly two months it took in 1856.
  2. Agree about that. I sometimes get quoted with a reply that has nothing to do with the quoted words. Also the ones assuming they know what I'm thinking.
  3. Occasionally posters ask what happens if the patient can't pay and has no one to send the bill to, but never yet seen a definitive answer. I hope the OP hasn't signed anything that would make him legally responsible for his friend's expenses.
  4. If you can't book, can't afford a taxi or van, and have to travel, go early and be prepared to wait. As long as they will sell you a ticket, you will have a seat eventually. PS, the train takes a long time to get to Bkk, but if that's not a problem try the train if can't get a bus ticket.
  5. If anyone is playing music so loudly it annoys other people, then they are antisocial- that's obvious. No one has a right to upset other people. By all means play it as loud as you like if it doesn't annoy others.
  6. Seems to be a trend now, making sequels of movies that were big hits. Probably because the original movies being made now are in many cases rubbish, and IMO they think the memory will get people to pay for tickets. Gotta pay for the lifestyle! Might not have worked for Avatar sequel, which some critics are panning. Doubt I'll see it.
  7. Excellent actor. Best wishes for his recovery.
  8. I've been buying clothes at the op shop for decades- fashion? What's that 55555555555555.
  9. Yes, just paint me cynical. What else would I be after a lifetime of seeing the <deleted> in charge making things worse?
  10. No reason for lack of water in any western country. Just desalinate as much sea water as wanted. Of course, if they wasted the money on things they should not have been spending money on they may not be able to afford the infrastructure, but that's a political problem.
  11. Why would they make it up? 5555555555555555 The huge amounts of money to be made for a starter.

  13. Took a while to find anything admitting female lead movies don't do well in the action genre, but here's one: https://tvovermind.com/why-most-female-led-action-movies-continue-to-fail-at-the-box-office/ Unfortunately, we’ve gotten a string of feminism films that make it a war between men and women. When most of your feature is saying that all men are obnoxious, sexist, evil douchebags, you’re shunning away a good portion of the audience that would more than likely see your film. This notion seems obvious, but most female-led pics seem to make this mistake.
  14. She isn't what the OP was about but woke movies. You'd have had to read all the other threads about such to know though.
  15. I'd say a lot of people don't plan to see it either. The bit I saw of it was a short, as an introduction to one of those interview pieces on tv, the usual fawning by woke interviewer type of thing, and it was so nauseating that I couldn't watch it. I can assure you that she was no Gal Gadot.
  16. Echo from Marvel Studios stars a chubby deaf Native American female. How can they be even more woke?
  17. Elected politicians can't be sworn in till speaker elected, so government inactive. So, yes.
  18. Don't stress about it. Hardly unique. https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2023/01/05/speaker-mccarthy-1856-house/ the 1855-1856 speaker election, lasted for 133 ballots over nearly two months.
  19. We had loads of patients that couldn't even speak English getting free NHS treatment.
  20. Depends on the condition treated as to whether those NI contributions covered the cost of the treatment. I know the excellent diagnostics alone that I had ( bone scan, MRI, CT etc ) cost far more than any amount of NI I paid. Including the op, probably hundred of thousands of quid. Also the extras like months of full pay while off work post op.
  21. I used to work in a London hospital doing outpatient operations first decade of the century. While it was known that people that were not even British ( had children living in the UK ) would fly in and get a GP to refer them for NHS treatment, we were forbidden to ask them if they were actually entitled to be operated on. I did hear that that was stopped, and a good thing if it was.
  22. If it's that loose it wasn't made right.
  23. I've had my present one ( made in Chiang Mai ) for about 5 years and works well. Would feel wrong going to sleep without it. Had one since about 1988
  24. Probably part of the package experience. I remember in Singapore hearing a tourist saying his package tour included a visit to Bugis Street and thinking "there goes the neighbourhood". Probably same for Chinese tour groups in Pattaya- included a visit to a naughty girl show. One suspects the gogo will regret allowing it.
  25. Times changed then. It used to be packed with DDG bar girls, and not a fattie among them.
