  1. Pretty clear who's boots Putin would like to fill. Rehabilitating a mass murderer who was directly responsible for the death by starvation on millions of Ukrainians.
  2. Hmmm....I know a lot of people who , like myself , must , according to the OP , have already been killed away and are in fact , state of the art zombies. Peanuts are proven to be lethal to some people. Should everyone be agitating to cease the production of lethal peanuts ? Ok ok , we all now fully understand that the poster is an anti vaxer. Nobody has a problem with this. But wouldn't it be better for everyone if he just got back to doing whatever it was he was doing before Covid instead of constantly trying to justify his position ? Move on , enjoy life. It's really nice.
  3. RIP. Soul gone but his music will linger on First record I bought
  4. The two wheeled forza max is for those that couldn't stump up the cash for a Fortuna.
  5. I think if you get right down to the nitty gritty until you reach the bottom line , its not about culture or religion. In my opinion , as with many things in life it devolves to money and wealth. Those coming here in rubber boats are mainly attracted by the idea of bettering themselves and their situation. 90% of this percieved improvement involves money and the opportunities to aquire it. The other 10% involves moving to a safer more stable envirinment that facilitates the former. Those who are strongly opposed to the influx of illegals are against their tax money being spent on people who have not made any financial contributions. They feel that that money should be spent on improving the lot of native born people. Better housing , a better NHS , more help for the homeless , equity for pensioners regardless of where they live etc etc. There is also a small minority of racists and bigots For those immigrants who succeed in settling in the UK , it is understandable that they prefer their own religion and culture. Some of these people can maintain these yet still succeed in integrating into the greater society. The Chinese for example. Whatever they may do at home and whatever language they speak , when going about their outside business they behave ' as the Romans do ' They do not need to live nearby others of their kind but are content to live anywhere and open up a takeaway. Other immigrants do not wish to do this , prefering to have a society within a society. This even happens here , where you see lots of westerners gravitate to places where there are already many westerners. Personaly , I do not see any solutions. If today was like yesterday , tomorrow will be like today.
  6. I used to use my horn here more in a day than 25 years in the UK . Then I got married.
  7. Poor bloke. Deserves reward not punishment. One less parasite in the community
  8. Good alternative is to have a credit card with a decent limit . This will bail you out in in emergency then you can pay it back over an extended period.
  9. What people really need to be worrying about is AI. If people keep pushing and promoting this then it is no longer far fetched to think it will all end badly as in several Sci Fi movies along these lines.
  10. Not from money working in a Thai only profession I would guess.
  11. Oh dear. At 105 years old I will be forced to convert to Islam and take another wife. Oh well, maybe they will have better ED medication by then so no point worrying about it.
  12. Take him on an all expenses and drugs paid scuba diving trip replacing the oxygen tanks with cinder blocks around his ankles.
  13. The worst of problems like this is that it is very difficult to actually speak to a live sympathetic human being as you could do many years ago. Everything has to be done online and you are reduced to being just another case number in a sea of applications .
  14. Yes. You left for 17 years. Those plumpers have been awaiting your return all that time.
  15. I did 3rd class from Had Yai to Bangkok once because all other classes were booked and I had to get back for work. I felt I completed the remainder of your fight with Mike Tyson. To make it worse I thought drinking a flat bottle of Hong Tong would ease the pain and help me nod off on the bench seat. Sort of worked. After I had puked up in the sink I fell off the bench and passed out on the floor into a deep slumber. Woke up around Hua Hin a terrible mess and all the locals giving me the evil eye and muttering dark spells against me After making profuse apologies I found a clean bathroom , tried to spruce myself up and moved to another 3rd class carriage. Talk about flying the flag for foreigners. Never again.
  16. 3rd class on a night train to Chiang Mai. Grueling. The stuff of backpacker fables.
  17. I was one of many who predicted this. Totally impossible for two people with such inflated egos to get along with each other for any length of time. Now they will both be hell bent on slinging as much mud at each other as possible.
  18. Wish they did that here. Fast and efficient. One tap and done. Sick and tired getting stuck behind some dinosaur trying to use a phone app and making heavy work of it. They have swipe pay here so why don't they use it ? I prefer cash here but swipe in the UK because it works like it's supposed to.
  19. If that's your hypothesis maybe it's time to switch to Lao Khao just to be certain.
  20. Plus their criminal counterparts. Raising the bar whilst also lowering the bar.
  21. Reading any British tabloid It seems that all the female wannabes there are striving for a certain fashionable ' look '. Big pouting lips , plucked eyebrows, high cheekbones etc. Must all have PhD s in photoshop pro. As for : Think I'd go for the 6 months and hang on to the 750,000.
  22. Tough place for a condom salesman. They all seem to have so many kids. If I were a Pa;estinian living in such a parlous State as Palestine I think I would try to keep my family a bit smaller.
