It's early days. Guys that make assessments based on a couple of years amuse me. When it gets better people will say how happy they are not to be told what to do by Brussels.

Even better option, after getting divorced do not get married again. No man HAS to be married. We are all allowed one big mistake when it comes to women, but we need to understand it was a mistake, and that doing the same thing over and over is not a good idea. Your wish list woman IMO is impossible to find.

Simple solution, learn to ignore her. If she won't park her m'bike under the new roof let her keep it outside, go kayaking without her, keep walking into tiger territory and let her find her own way, keep the wallet closed and let her earn her own money. IMO she must be absolutely amazing in bed to stay with her.

I think the Brits are also to blame.

Based on tv ads from the past 20 years, IMO your alien would believe that men are stupid creatures, and women incredibly intelligent, perfect specimens of humanity.

Along with the above, seems to be that the major characters in soaps have to be ugly and aggressive. I stopped watching mainstream commercial tv long ago, given the excessive advertising, so thankfully I don't get to see the latest attrocities against us on tv. Now that people steal movies off the internet, DVDs have become something that op shops sell for a couple of $, so they do me quite nicely.

Agree about the modern world. We've become mere consumers to make the rich richer- advertising is everywhere. I fondly remember radio shows when the family would gather to listen to Life with Dexter, Around the Horn, Journey into Space, etc.

Are you trying to be obtuse? I never said I couldn't ever get on it, just sometimes. Always some joker taking the p.

It's a shame that OPs on such threads rarely, if ever, post again to let us know how they got on and if the advice was helpful. If posters are prepared to give their time and advice for free it would be good manners to give an update. At least the OP on this thread did say thank you, but even that is rare.

I went to a few FMPs in my time, so my opinion based on experienece: No need to stay in Hat Rin, and the hotels there are IMO a scam. Before covid some required extended time there before and after the party. Most resorts elsewhere provided transport to and from the party. If the Had Rin Queen is still operating can stay on Samui and go over for 24 hours. My advice- do NOT use the speedboats from Samui. When I was staying in N E Phangan I took the coastal ferry down, slept on the beach and ferry back next day. That time of year best to book resort if you are not familiar with that area. MY BEST advice is not to do illegal drugs there. The dealers apparently inform the cops who they sold to, and there are usually casualties that took bad drugs. Buying oneself off a drug charge isn't cheap and the cops have 2 years to make up for. Also, if up for a bit of the other, watch out for the katoeys that look for drunk guys to roll.

I stayed 6 months a year on a non O with retirement ( over 50 ) extensions, and bought travel insurance each time. I left the 800,000 permanently in a Thai bank account. Seemed to be the simplest option.

but I was conversing with you, not him.

It's only for a while, not forever! Hopefully this is the end for that social media platform, and even more hopefully that facethingy will follow them into oblivion.

Given they have not even announced officially that they will try to eliminate the investigation, perhaps we should wait and see if you or I are correct.

Your reply to my post that you quoted has absolutely nothing at all to do with my post. Deflecting much?

The problem with non medical people making non informed opinions about things like "heavy bleeding" is that they don't actually know how much is dangerous, and claims by the woman that the bottom of the bathtub was full is subjective. As I learned on a first aid course, one can lose what seems to be a lot of blood without it being a threat to life. Medical people don't willingly send people away to die, so as non of us were in the ER perhaps we can wait for the outcome of the investigation/ court case before casting stones. BTW, had she opted for the D & C likely none of the problem would have occurred.

LOL. One could substitute Democrat for GOP and it would be equally true.

If Garland has such, why has he not yet prosecuted Trump? LOL.

Most reasonable people have an issue with biased law enforcement.

One does not have to be "pro Trump" to recognise that some of his claims of persecution have merit. The "persecution" didn't stop from the time he announced his candidacy till now.

To spite the Dems enough may do so. The Dems have been saying some bad things about the GOP which may come back to bite them.

I don't envy Garland. Even IF the report says Trump is guilty it is still his responsibility to actually prosecute or not. Now that Trump has said he is running again, if Garland prosecutes the right will say it's political to prevent Trump winning, and if he doesn't, the left will criticize him for not doing so. IMO he is in a lose/ lose situation.

I have to agree with that, including the reference to being insulted. It's become especially "interesting" since 6 years ago.

POTUS don't have access to the "money". Congress ( the house ) control the money supply.

LOL. A hypothesis is just a supposition. If it were a fact it wouldn't be a hypothesis.
