I thought it was about the biggest mistake WE made in life, but the title and OP doesn't include that, so anything is indeed on the table.

If it doesn't already include 3rd party, get it included, even if paying a surcharge.

Not sure exactly what you are intending there, but will you have medical insurance for m'bike accidents included on your travel insurance? IMO chances of requiring hospital care riding a m'bike in Thailand is high, and for those never ridden in LOS extremely high. The included m'bike cover on my travel insurance included damage/ injury/ death to other road users.

5555555555555 To rent a m'bike ( which many TOURISTS do ), one often has to hand over the passport- a very bad idea. Buying one eliminates that problem. I may have missed it, but what insurance does the OP intend to use, though if he has m'bike included on his home licence he can include m'bike insurance in his travel insurance?

Indeed. The boarding school I went to has now gone co ed, to the detriment of the boys, IMO. Reading the magazine that is sent to ex pupils, it's all about the girls and sod all about the boys. I was lucky, I guess, to be old enough that such woke thinking was not an issue when I went to school, and we only had one female teacher, so plenty of male role models. As to celibacy, LOL, though I was somewhat in awe of girls till I went nursing and discovered that they ain't any better than boys, except in the female mind.

No. Just British countries and way of life. If not for Pearl Harbour America would probably not have gone to war, so US, Canada OK, rest of British way of life gone IMO.

Breaking the codes allowed Britain to know where in a very large ocean the U boats were. Till the computer was made code breakers were unable to find out in time to do anything about it. Perhaps without it Britain would have been unable to survive till the aircraft carriers and long range planes became available. The list of things that saved Britain and us is not long. Case of the right few people being in the right places at the right time.

You now have the opportunity to give her a lesson that she can learn from, by treating her like a boy, which I doubt she will like.

You were the one that responded to Olmate. I just responded to your reply. Look at your own posts before making silly comments. Posted 43 minutes ago

It's the only one I use. Again, I don't care so much that I'd spend the time to look at "both sides" of the situation. It's not my fight.

Are you aware of what "probably" means?

I don't know enough about him to have an opinion either way, but I hope he actually stops the destruction of the Amazonian rainforest. The previous guy was an environmental vandal, IMO.

Oh the sheer hypocrisy of the "do as I say, not as I do" mob. They could do it by teleconferencing, but lux resort holiday at taxpayer expense is so alluring they just can't resist.

Well said. While electric vehicles may be popular among western woke luvvies, the idea that they will take over in remote parts of the world with barely any infrastructure is laughable. For a start they are too expensive for any but rich people, are too dependent on hi tech to be repaired in a village workshop, and who is going to pay for the charging infrastructure? I have nothing against using ordinary vehicle batteries to mobilize simple technology electric vehicles that can be fixed by a local village workshop, and that technology has existed for a long time. Electric cars were used in the 1870s.

You sure you want to go with that? Electric cars rely on difficult to obtain raw materials that are mainly produced in China, and if the Chinese decide to restrict sale of those materials to the west, electric car industry goes poof. However, had the better option of hydrogen been used instead of batteries, there would be no problem as hydrogen can be made anywhere there is water. Also no need to build bigger and expensive electrical generation infrastructure. IMO we got sold a lemon by those looking to cash in on the climate change thing.

Either we get sick or even die from covid or we don't, regardless. If Chinese lockdowns reduce the giant crowds of Chinese people at Savurnabami Airport when we enter there all good, IMO.????

Around Pattaya that is the better area.

and you apparently think google etc doesn't "restrict" information, depending on what or who it's about. LOL. The internet does not tell us everything. Many times I try to find stuff and not to be found. I find it interesting that you think I care enough about it to spend hours looking for "both" sides of the picture. Hardly. This forum is about the extent of my news source, and I rarely look on a link. However, I recently became able to access Al Jazira, the only mainstream news source I trust. Only problem is that weather interferes with the signal and if it rains unable to see it. I'm hoping for a dry day during US midterm elections

I doubt they will know where you are from unless you tell them.

Could it possibly be because we are not being given the full picture about Russia? Lots of propaganda about these days.

Me too. People that don't know me are always asking me what I do for work and surprised when I say long retired.

Some of us with more than 20 years on that still look good too. IMO the answer is to not drink alcohol, do illegal drugs, or smoke.

Not knowing them personally how could I possibly know the answer to that?

If they didn't know they were going to be sacked why would they?

LOL. Anyone of advanced age is going to have age related health problems, regardless of opinion of Thai males. I don't even understand why you included it, unless you consider not being anti Thai males males makes old people healthy.
