and to you and yours. Seriously, seen enough die in hospital as part of my job to want a quick exit, not in a hospital. Those I know have been warned to delay calling the ambulance if I need one till after it's too late to save me.

Never had an ad pop up on a forum after you had just discussed the subject? I was on a forum and was discussing travel to a certain country, then an ad for visiting that country popped up on my screen. The only way not to be targeted is to not give them enough info to make a profile.

Only if we forgot our technology.

That's the billion $ question.

IMO a race ruled earth ( doesn't matter if aliens or not ) with advanced technology, and died out or left long ago. Humans today descended from the workers/ serfs/ slaves left without the technology. OR I'm living in the Matrix.

Link please.

I guess they didn't send a brown envelope in time.

I guess all those "friends" will be round to his place right smart. In his place I'd move somewhere unknown and replace the door chime with a laugh track.

Happened when Thaksin's puritanical side kick rode into town with a bevy of Bkk cops to "clean up" Pattaya. Well, Thaksin got his, and it was back to biz as usual in toytown.

Seen it all before. Eventually it'll go back to "normal".

OMG, call out SWAT for this crime against humanity in a tourist town. Don't tourists understand they have to be tucked up in bed early, so to be up at cockcrow to be ready for an exhilarating day looking at temples. I suspect it was the ones not providing the brown envelopes.

How many die now of old age surrounded by loving family? IMO more likely to be in hospital hooked up to machines squeezing the last breath of profitability out of the living dead. The ones that die quickly in a accident are IMO the lucky ones.

It's the wrong technology anyway. Hydrogen eliminates oil and doesn't require a massive infrastructure rebuild- no batterys costing $22,000 either.

The IMO insanity of American juries. Did they actually think he could pay that much? All that has happened is that apparently those that would have got some money will get nothing.

Oh dear. I thought I was pointing out that people's minds when old are not the same as when young. I'm sure that 30 years ago she may have been more cautious in her questioning, but we are not talking about 30 years ago. I'd say she absolutely didn't think she was being racist; I don't think she was being racist, many don't think she was being racist. IMO she was taken advantage of to generate a bit of publicity for a "charity".

but he didn't. Could say same about Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Ghengis Khan etc etc etc.

A battle lost doesn't mean the war is lost. Only need to look at Britain beginning of WW2, Disastrous retreat to Dunkirk and almost the entire army captured, but rebuilt over next 3 years to defeat the Germans. IMO some posters read far too much into too little. One has to look at which side can last the distance in a long war. If the NATO countries currently sending arms decide the cost is too high, and stop- what then for Ukraine? If the current financial situation deteriorates, will taxpayers continue to accept spending billions to support a war they are not even fighting in?

I'm still waiting for him to acknowledge that he was accusing me of saying things that you actually did!

There is nothing in the post you quote to say that people that despise the UK are not British.

Just as well I'm not holding my breath waiting for a correction on the falsehood in that post.

Good one. I'll file that along with "the world is flat" and "the moon really is made of green cheese" stories. It really is a good one, but I'm pretty sure a massive military build up at Vladivostok would not have gone un noticed.

If you are going to attack me best get your facts correct. I didn't say anything about "regional accents"-that was a different poster. So, you saw black people in Dublin- so what? It doesn't mean I'm lying. I didn't, and I traveled around all of Ireland, not just Dublin and Co Kerry.

I live in an area where many foreigners come to work., and I've asked some where they come from. I didn't get accused of racism for doing so. In Thailand when on a baht bus I've asked tourists where they were from and non gave me evasive replies, and none took offense. Certainly, I don't take offense when asked where I'm from, but I don't have an agenda, and nor have I accused Charles of being mean to Harry's wife. Bottom line, it's all great publicity for a certain charity.

She's old and old people make mistakes. I'm old but nowhere near her age and I say things that may not be appropriate, so I'm not going to condemn her for saying something that isn't really a big deal. IMO this is someone with an agenda seeking to cause problems for the Royals, and the woke jumping on a bandwagon. As I've said before, if she were actually racist it would have been picked up long ago.

IMO there is nothing important in any of this much ado about nothing, except for those that seek to attack the Royals by any means possible. Important is the NHS in strife; an old woman saying something someone didn't like is not important.
