Any conscript sent there deserved anything they could get. Shameful episode in US history IMO.

Cars are always flawless till they are not.

I didn't realise the motor industry had gone so barking. Probably because it's cheaper. If the battery fails while the park brake is on, does it stay on, or go off?

IMO the condo didn't collapse because of one particular hurricane. If not that one the next or the one after that. If one is daft enough to build next to the coast in a hurricane zone, best have a really good sea wall. Hopefully the insurance companies will stop covering buildings on the coast not protected by sea walls, and that'll be the end of that foolishness.

LOL. I know a western country where the government is actively trying to destroy the primary industry sector before they ( hopefully ) get booted next election.

Pretty pathetic IMO.

People danced in the streets when Thatcher died. We've been poorly served by politicians for decades, but if we will insist on humiliating anyone that does serve, is it any wonder only the second rate consider being politicians? Shooting, ourselves, and feet come to mind.

Err, they could, but it's probably cheaper to source them from elsewhere. Obviously the UK does still make some stuff, but compared to the 19th century sod all.

Indeed. Gordon wasted the money on the NHS, tony wasted it on Iraq, and UK's been in the doodoo ever since. Tony had 2 huge majorities and could have done a lot for the UK, but blew it by being Bush's poodle.

Nothing like being prepared. Dib dib dib.

Easy. They stopped making things that people want to buy and went for the "financial" markets, whatever they may be. Also, they let in loads of people that contribute nothing to the country, but suck the economy like leeches. Wasted north sea oil. They should have been like Norway. Keep throwing money at the NHS instead of making it only about what it was supposed to do. Gordon Brown wasted 6 billion quid on it. Sacking 70% of the managers would be a good start. Apparently 3 generations living on the dole up north. Tony Blair and joining the US war in Iraq. The mistakes of the past are coming back to bite them on the bum.

I hope Lake gets it as she might do something about the border regardless of the federal government.

Depends. In some countries being an unmarried mother gives one access to the goodies mere single males can only dream of. Unmarried mother friend of mine had a nice house ( I couldn't afford one ), better car than I had, nice easy life style ( I was working like a dog at the time ). Sweet, and all she had to do was get some guy to impregnate her ( he was nowhere around when I knew her ).

If there is one thing that I can be grateful for more than anything else, it's that I was born when I was and not in the past 10 years.

Any signs that your house is going to flooded by "rising sea levels"? 55555555555555

Yeah. Voting for Biden pretty much proves that point.

For that post alone I'd like him to be 47.

I'm quite keen on those idol groups, but they'd never take off in western countries. Too hard to find non PC/ woke, slim, feminine girls, and the hordes of feminazis outside demonstrating would put the customers off.

I'd rather they played with me, and most that I met were too lazy to role play. The exception were the ones in the Eden Club, for those that know of it. Anyway, people don't go to maid cafes for a happy ending, but for the attention. Seems to me that Otaku live in a world of permanent titillation, rather than have actual sex ( other than the usual ).

I left the military to go nursing. I thought bullying was normal part of a job. After 47 years of it I decided to retire early. Happy days till I got married.

I've been to Chester, but I wouldn't have thought it the most beautiful in the world. I don't think any city is beautiful as too many people. I did love the Cotswold villages though. They really are beautiful.

I hear it's hard to find a real pub any more. All gone corporate apparently. Thai beaches are nice all year with the sea breeze. Don't even need AC.

He didn't beat up a woman, he beat up a katoey ( or claims to have done so- I'm told some of those are pretty good in a fight, and I was once threatened by one with a baseball bat on Walking Street ).

LOL. Not a good idea to chat up anyone with someone else, unless they are pimping the girl. That's asking for trouble.

I've seen such and it was never without a reason. In some cases I would be cheering the guys beating up the farang, as when in a Nana Gogo a pile of Thai guys beat up a farang that was manhandling a dancer and became agro when told to stop by another farang. He deserved every hit to his face IMO.
