  1. Ive just done a speedtest. 94.59 download, 93.84 upload (3BB Chiang Rai). Ive also tried 3 different browsers, Chrome, Brave and Samsung Internet; same problem All this reinforces my conclusion that the problem iswith AN, and particular to my account. Thank you for the suggestion. Now if only Forun Support would answer...
  2. Perhaps, but if he engineers a further term, or simply stays in office, his presence in office will not be finite. Much the same applies to the mid terms and 2028 Congressional elections. As the reality of losing control approaches I expect increasing energy and arguments to cancel or suspend those elections. In neither case will he or his gang follow the Constitution, it will be ignored or suspended. If he declares that it must be suspended let's face it, the current Congress will fall in line, and unless The Supreme Court moves against him, who is to actually stop him? It is a grim prospect. I think it will end in tears. Either Donnies tears befor bedtime, or perhaps even lamentations of the end of The United States as any form of democratic representative republic.
  3. I am having major problems in connecting to my AN account using Android mobile phones. I have tried using three phones, Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro running Android 7, XTEL V02 running Android 13 and Vivo Y2043 running Android 11. In all 3 cases AN loads (using the Chrome Browser, but as soon as I sign in, it starts to "stall" 10% of the way into loading a fresh topic or page. It will go to the notifications page, and from there you can go to a post which was commented on or given an emoji, but again no further. Eventually you get the Cloudfare Timeout Host Error page. I get exactly the same result with each of the three phones (the XTEL is slow, but that is because it is a cheap crap Chinese phone with less memory than Adam and Eve's apple, and a processor which dates from around the same time) but not with my PC on which I am writing this post. This is not the first time I have had this problem. Earlier in the year, posting as "herfiehandbag" I had exactly the same problem. Then Forum Support said that there was no fault at "their end". I persuaded them to reinstate my previous account which had been indefinitely suspended in 2002, and I returned to the fray under my initial user name "JAG" (my initials). Now the problem has returned, a different account, and three different phones and operating systems! All very perplexing. Support again say that they have no reports of errors, a follow up message from me underlining the point that ithe problem occured using three different phones and operating systems has gone unanswered: so I open it up for more general comment. Having deployed as much logic as I can (as a bear of very little brain) I have to assume that the problem is when my log in details interact with AN. It is almost (and here we are perhaps getting into conspiracy theory territory) as if someone has managed to put some sort of block in the system against me - but that would have to be someone who was aware, or worked out, that "Herfiehandbag" and "JAG" was the same person - perhaps not too difficult, my stance on various contentious issues and posting styles havent changed, and I have to admit there are a few on here who probably virulently dislike me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the cause of this, and what if anything I can do?
  4. Any kit left, after 4 years of Terry Taliban poking it with sticks to see what happens, will be utterly buggered!
  5. The only bit of their constitution many of them seem to care about!
  6. cancel/postpone the mid term elections.
  7. "Thespians"? Portland has a lot of actors? Definitely need to send in the Army!
  8. Is Taylor Swift singiing during half time?
  9. Each boat must have at least one person with the basic knowledge to manage an outboard motor, understand tides and simple navigation. Arrest, detain and charge those people and you will go a long way towards stopping the crossings. I suspect that these individuals, once they have reached the UK slip away, return to Calais ready for another trip
  10. Sorry, cant be done. Rugby season is about to start, which rules out the Infantry and Royal Artillery, Likewise the hunting season so that takes care of the Cavalry, as far as the logisticians are concerned the storerooms behind the "Great Counter of No" are virtually empty, and the Royal Engineers are far too busy trying to sort out the drains. It would involve working weekends and in the rain, so the Royal Air Force is ruled out. All the Royal Navy's ships seem to be broken, and anyway they don't have enough Matelots to crew them!
  11. Sabotage! Infamy (they've all got it in for me)! Has someone pushed the stop button on the escalator? Harry accused his family of being racist, he slagged of the wives of his father (Queen Camilla) and his brother (The Princess of Wales) and now imagines he can just walz back in again. He is beyond stupid!
  12. Because the slim Republican majority in the house, under the leadership (?) of modest Mike Johnson (to paraphrase Winston Churchill " a modest man with mu h to be modest about") have completely abrogated any responsibility for governing.
  13. Why did the civil right marches need to be protected?
  14. Now why should he do that?
  15. Strike a light! You claim to be someone who conducts and presumably analyses "studies"! I'd stick to counting smiling dentists if I were you!
  16. 1) Stating "fact check" before listing your interpretations and opinions does not make them facts. They remain your interpretations and opinions, you present no evidence which is rather needed to make them facts. 2) I know relatively little about Comey, and nothing about his family. May I ask why you are so full of glee at the prospect of the world crashing down around them?
  17. Now he mentions it, I has been suggested that they are recruiting such individuals, pardoned en mass in late January, into various "ad hoc Federal agencies"! "Blood on the streets" would enable so many things, perhaps even avoid the embarrassment of next year's mid term elections?
  18. Yet Kiev has been the target for relentless rocket attacks since day one!
  19. I doubt that there are more than a couple of Rastafarians from Transnistria anyway...
  20. Were you by any chance one of the scriptwriting team for Mel Brooks on "Blazing Saddles"? Your style seems strangely familiar! Still, good to see you are sticking with your enthusiasm for eating faeces; everyone should have a trademark and you do seem to have made this one very much your own!
  21. Just Googled her picture. Can't for the life of me imagine why Trump selected her!
  22. If you look at the RTAF Fleet as listed on Wikepedia, of 21 Jet aircraft currently in service 18 are configured for VIP transport, helicopters it is 16 out of 28!
  23. I wonder if any "new interpretation" will apply to children born to white South African immigrants?
  24. have just upgraded to a new phone - Xtel X02, running Android 13 - trying to install the Lazada app but whatever I do it seems only available in Thai. Even if you Google "Lazada app Thailand in English" and download the app it opens in Thai - which seems rather daft! With "Line" installed you only get the audio alert when you open the app, and it no longer has the little red dot on the home screen which tells you that messages are waiting. Irritating!
