  1. Composting toilets require no water and make fertiliser. Perhaps all those that care about poor parts of the world can get together and pay for a few million of them to be sent to poor and waterless countries.
  2. Lawyers must love people that file cases like this. Great publicity and they get paid even if the client loses. I'll be extremely surprised if this case succeeds.
  3. Ah, the democratic weak spot eh? Have to put up with all those "crazy" voters that have a different opinion to oneself. ????
  4. Actually I agree with "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" as long as the "from each" part is actually done. Problem now in western society IMO is that too many give nothing but still expect to get ( and do get ).
  5. Bit like the Russia Russia Russia thing then? Really wasn't much there.
  6. The British had to pay back the "loan", but I've seen nothing to say the Ukrainians will have to do so. Tell me if they do.
  7. IMO he sees it, but doesn't know how to get out of it without losing one side or the other. Crawl back to the royals and lose his child, or lose his royal family. Not a choice I'd like to make.
  8. I've seen nothing to suggest that the GOP will block all aid to Ukraine, but I do assume they won't be signing any blank cheques.
  9. LOL. How does trashing his family serve the Queen ( the royal family )? He did serve in the military and had the respect of most for it. His wedding had people queuing for days to cheer the carriage. Yet all that good will gone in a couple of years. This poster has no doubts as to who was responsible, and it's not Charles or William, or their wives.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Excellent actor. Best wishes for his recovery.
  17. I've been buying clothes at the op shop for decades- fashion? What's that 55555555555555.
  18. Yes, just paint me cynical. What else would I be after a lifetime of seeing the <deleted> in charge making things worse?
  19. 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.
  20. Why would they make it up? 5555555555555555 The huge amounts of money to be made for a starter.

  22. 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.
