  1. Apparently 80,000 people don't think that is sufficient.
  2. I very much doubt anyone on here ever brought more than one can carry on one trolley, but you could probably pay an airport worker to bring another trolley.
  3. There is no definitive answer to the OP. As always it's down to luck. I've had more than one unpleasant experience with customs on arrival, but happily not in LOS. IMO might be better to ship non essential items that are not subject to tax. BTW, I hope you have a lot of cash to pay the excess checked baggage charge. It's not cheap. I have used the standby luggage before, where they send extra bags on a later flight. Check it out as may be cheaper.
  4. and for some it's the definition of paradise on earth. At least it used to be, but this century it changed and not as good anymore.
  5. LOL. It was never about US walking, rather about THEM walking ( I'll let you guess who THEM refers to ). I'd go and sit street side in Lucky Star 2 bar and watch the passing parade. Back in the day they played great music like AC DC LOUD. Bliss.
  6. Nice poem, but as I believe our soul comes from God and after death returns to God it'll be more like going home.
  7. Tell us how you really feel about the Donald then, LOL It's pretty obvious you really like talking about him, given he's not what the topic is about.
  8. More likely to see a nurse at A and E unless critical.
  9. I don't remember seeing any of those flags during the invasion of the Capitol, so how are they "connected" to the attack? I read the article, but the mention doesn't convince me of that.
  10. I am becoming more and more of the mind that the people that run the Democrats have abandoned Biden to his fate. I'll be extremely surprised if he is a candidate in 24, and not surprised if he is gone before.
  11. What more can they do short of sending their own military and the inevitable casualties that follow? Have you forgotten that western countries are in financial doodoo because of covid lockdowns and subsequent disruptions in economies? This isn't a world war and Russia isn't threatening to invade them.
  12. ?????????????? Why would they? It's not their war. They have no reason that I can see to go to bat for Europeans of any country in a European war. Europeans have been fighting each other for many, many centuries.
  13. Hundreds of tanks would require thousands more tank crewmen and support personnel, plus additional vehicle recovery vehicles and teams, plus more mechanics, armourers, radio techs, tons of and millions of $ worth of spare parts and the transport to bring them to where they are needed ( all of which will be new as such will not exist in Ukraine ), etc. Also, different tanks and heavy weapons require training the people to use them. Its not the movies where such trained personnel magically appear and jump in and go to war. It's never as simple as some would wish.
  14. I hope the demonstrators succeed, but I fear they will not and we are in for worse news from the Palestinian areas in the future.
  15. It's just keeps getting worse for Biden. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/14/white-house-says-more-classified-documents-found-at-bidens-home.html Points Additional classified government documents were found at President Joe Biden’s Delaware home this week, the White House confirmed Saturday. A total of six pages of documents with classification markings were discovered at Biden’s Wilmington residence, Biden’s special counsel said in a statement.
  16. I am bemused by that idea being promoted that classified documents were removed when Biden lost his VP position, and unbeknown to the Archives were taken to various places including Biden's own garage, and Biden himself was completely unaware of that. Seems Archives had no problem knowing that Trump had documents, so can we really believe they had no knowledge of the one's in Biden's possession?
  17. Someone knew there were classified documents in Biden's possession that should not have been there. All the but but buts in the world can't change that. That or those person(s) need to be found. There is no indication that the National Archives was aware of Biden's documents. That, IMO is the biggest scandal in this whole affair. WHY did they apparently not know? It's their job to know where all the classified documents are. Someone has failed in that job. If they are that incompetent, there could be many more classified documents elsewhere that are unknown about.
  18. No place for ANY self serving liars in the house. LOL. IMO If all the politicians that fit that description were removed from governments, there wouldn't be many left. e politicians that f
  19. That would depend on the country then, and it's strange, given the consular official is only witnessing that you signed the paper. They don't actually verify that what you sign is true, only that you sign a document. So they want a witness to witness that the witness witnessed the signature.
  20. Only on assets bought post marriage. What you had prior is still yours. If I had hated my ex I'd have made her pay me half of what her car was worth as she bought it after we got married.
  21. Which is why one should never tell wifey how much one has or where it is. A pre nup would need to be applicable in the country that had the bank account for it to be considered IMO.
  22. Farangs can't own land, so why would that be considered? If she had the house before you married you get nothing of it.
  23. No, only what you acquired after marriage.
  24. I never felt unsafe in Thailand, but I am quite fearful in NZ- there are a lot of gang members about, considering the small population, and they are not nice people.
  25. While I didn't consider it any more peaceful than other countries I lived in, Saudi was quite safe to walk around in with lotsacash on one, given the punishment for theft or causing a disturbance was quite severe. When I arrived in Singapore with the military, we were told not to disobey the cops or we'd be shot on the spot, which instills a certain sense of behaving while out and about. Bhutan is supposed to have the highest happiness rating in the world.
