  1. Perhaps she should have gone outside and waved down taxis, continuing to do so for however long it took to find one for whom her destination was convenient. Then, having negotiated a price (the meter being broken no doubt) she could have clambered into the piss stained interior, with the knotted seat belts, whilst the driver adjusted his mirror so he could see up her skirt. These are just some of the advantages of using a properly regulated taxi service.
  2. An image which I really wish you had not conjured up!
  3. Frankly, the vast majority of stuff flogged on Lazada is absolute rubbish. Office chairs, a desk, electric fans, thumb drives are just a few of the examples of stuff I have foolishly bought from them in the last few months, which have either fallen apart or just don't work. In particular thumb drives which will only hold a fraction of their advertised capacity! The trouble is, I am a cripple, fairly immobile, live a fair way out of town and can no longer drive a car (bizarrely they took my car license away for medical reasons but let me keep my motorcycle license!); that together with being a bit of a "Pollyanna" when it comes to online shopping, which doesn't help!
  4. He doesn't run anything past Congress any more does he? Rule by Sharpie! Incidentally, after the 120 days are up, presumably he can appoint another nominee; when that person's 120 days are up, or even sooner, can Jeanine Pirro be appointed again? Perhaps no one imagined that rules to cover such a possibility would ever be needed?
  5. Definitely suffering in sympathy!
  6. In much the same way that debris usually float to the surface?
  7. I haven't followed the Tate brothers imbroglio at all. Am I correct in thinking that they are a couple of modern day pimps, who instead of cruising red light districts in cars taking money off girls, have harnessed the internet and social media to do the same thing?
  8. Possibly an occasion for the "spelling police" to rally to the cause? 😆
  9. And you have previously poured scorn upon just about every aspect of their society, culture, cuisine and all their "service industries". I can't help wondering why you live here! It can't be for financial reasons, in various of your previous incarnations you have told us that you are extremely wealthy!
  10. Declared or found? There is a significant difference. The establishment simply seems him and his political clan as rivals. As long as he is on the scene they are unable to relax, their cosy monopoly of government and the eye watering wealth it brings them is not secure. Don't think that this " group of esteemed senior physicians" from Chulalongkorn University" are acting out of concern for medical ethics! They are part of the establishment, Chulalongkorn University is at it's core, and are laying down a marker with the side they think will win.
  11. Frost was brilliant. David Jason had a remarkable range as an actor : Granville, Del Boy Trotter and Inspector Jack Frost. Morse required one to really concentrate, but again was brilliantly written and acted!
  12. It sounds as if it needs a boot up it's hard drive!
  13. One must be careful about terminology! I do remember, during one exercise in the United States, our soldiers were vastly amused by our American counterparts complaining about the discomfort of having to wear "suspenders"! Eventually we realised that by "suspenders" they meant their web equipment! Mind you, British webbing was widely believed to have been designed by a woman who hated men!
  14. Then add in the unavailability (through cost) of basic medical care to poorer people... It is quite remarkable that a nation which can afford to spend 40% of the global funds spent on "defence" cannot look after the health of it's most vulnerable!
  15. It is beyond obvious that the income from trimming beards and haircuts can't even begin to cover the costs of running the enterprises, particularly when you have so many clustered in small towns like this. However the larger towns and cities are awash with cash from drug dealings, and it has to be laundered, the banks wont touch it. It has to be passed through " legitimate businesses". Drive with your thousands of £ to a nearbye small town, parcel it out amongst half a dozen "barber shops", job done!
  16. Alternatively, they could give Baron Trump a place!
  17. The "US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor " would do well to wind their neck in, and instead concern themselves with the rapidly emerging threats to democracy, human rights and labour in their own country. The law (and the way in which it is enforced) against "silent prayer" is atrocious, but we don't need the US State Department getting involved.
  18. The "Line" communication app is driving me up the wall! My phone was damaged, so I need to install it on my replacement phone. The damaged phone screen is blacked out so I can"t use it to initiate the transfer of my account. If I try to log in by phone number then all I get is an endless stream of those bloody silly Captcha picture puzzles, one after the other. My failing eyes mean that it is almost impossible for me to use them. In an act of utter stupidity, for a business whose purpose is communication, they have no email address, you can only access their help line (itself an oxymoron) using Line! Of course I have Line installed on my computer, but all that does is witter on about Q&R codes, which I am too old and stupid to use. Any kind soul any ideas?

  20. Shall I put you down as a Trump supporter then?
  21. After all, Cliff Richard keeps coming back the same'
  22. I think he means those tanks of garishly coloured liquids being continuously stirred by electric paddles in 7/11. Either buy it from the cafe, and specify no sugar, or if you want a quick cheap coffee use one of those Nescafe red plastic bags, the ones with separate sachets of coffee, creamer and sugar.
