I don't blame you for your frustration and venting.
Unfortunately what you describe is just the kind of thing that falangs in Thailand need to understand and adjust to.
We will never change it.
Just try to be patient and smile.
Years of living in Thailand taught me one thing. Patients
Coming in very handy at the moment in the UK

Fantastic series, any idea where they filmed in Bangkok? They seem to have captured the late 70s well.
Also, what's the beer they are drinking? Does not look like old Singha ones
BTW love the old one as well

Frightening read from DM this morning. Dairy from a nurse
"We’re used to seeing people die, but not so many, so routinely.
Pre-Covid, I might have seen two or three deaths a week. Now it’s four or five a day"
The vaccine is so important

Sir Kier agreed with everything Boris has just done in the new lockdown, no buts, or I would have done this. A Very astute move by him, I think, came over very well. Boris is going to have a problem with this guy
Not a fan of his btw

Post Brexit Britain is set to boom, that's what the remainers hate.

Well in these 'interesting' times might I suggest the remake of the Stephen King novel 'The Stand'
I guess it puts covid into perspective!
Available in the US on CBS All Access, but I'm sure it's also available in all those usual suspect places.
I am enjoying this also, I want to binge it, but only releasing once a week

HI from UK
" UK heading for post-Brexit BOOM after signing new trade deals worth £900 billion"
"The colossal figure comes as Trade Secretary Liz Truss signed off a new £18.6 billion tie-up with Turkey, meaning the UK now has new agreements in place with 62 countries around the world. And there are multi-billion free trade deals with America, Canada and Australia in the pipeline for 2021. Together they could boost the UK economy by at least £100 billion over the coming decade, according to analyst".
and we don't have to pay 30 billion a year net for the privilege

All trade agreements must be approved by Parliament to be ratified.

And the Treaty of Rome.

So you could not trade outside the EU without the EU's permission. One of the major reasons and benefits for Brexit, so the UK can trade with other countries without asking for the EU's parliaments permission
Very true, 59 countries so far that UK has made trade deals with.

1 hour ago, Hi from France said:source ? To my knowledge, Macron popularity is up (by french standards)
From 3 days ago
https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/an-overwhelming-majority-in-france-is-unhappy-with-macron-42549
"The survey of French Institute of Public Opinion shows that the popularity and trustworthiness of Emmanuel Macron is on decline.
A recently conducted survey by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) revealed that 60 percent of French people are dissatisfied with President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Jean Castex"
As I said worry about France not the 5th biggest economy in the world the UK

3 hours ago, Hi from France said:Well it may surprise you but in many instances, the French view is that E.U. was run by Germany and the United Kingdom.
France and the United Kingdom were not on the same page with European matters.
Europe has already changed gear recently getting more ambitious and united, not only with the English influence gone, but also Trump and Covid-19.
While we are on the French view, don't you think you should worry more about what's going on in your own country right now than the UK?
Weekly demonstration in Paris and across France, riots and tear gas in the air, hundreds of arrests, the most unpopular French President in recent times

And this, maybe we are on the same page

the problem in that most Brexiteers here are not just Tories, they are nationalists.
And Brexit has fanned the flames not just of English nationalism, but also of Irish and Scottish nationalism. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not a country that is compatible with nationalism.
The union between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, followed by the union in 1801 of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland is formed of separate nations.
- What remains of the Kingdom of Ireland wants to be a member of the European Union
- The Kingdom of Scotland wants to be a member of the European Union
- The British Oversea Territory of Gibraltar wants to be a member of the European Union
- England (apart from the capital, London) does not want to be a member of the European Union
event the Welsh are pro-european.... you know that Welsh-speaking constituencies voted remain ?
So in a few days, Brexit will be effective, but the United Kingdom has a lot of soul-searching to do, lest it each piece goes its own way. ironically, the European Union was keeping the pieces of the the United Kingdom together
In other words, unless you can find a uniting and effective project as the United Kingdom, these separate nations won't be "United".
English nationalism could break the United Kingdom.
Gibraltar might be the first piece to detach in a few days. That's why I find it important to debate what is happening there
.
I am all for an independent Scotland, born English but with a mother that grew up in the Gorbals of Glasgow, though history I believe we have trod on the Scots enough.
But they would have zero chance of joining the EU if they applied as a country

We won, vive EU
Well good for you, as a Brexiteer I think it's a great deal for both sides, even Sir Nigel Farage is reasonably happy with it. So please get off your high horse, lets put it all behind us and get on with building back friendship, harmony, trust, and working together for the economies of the EU and UK.
Instead of "daily reminder" who won

As a hard Brexiteer, who would have been happy with no deal, on the face of it, it looks like Boris has done an amazing job. Even Farage has shown support for it
