Reminds me of a joke "Scientists are considering using estate agents (Brit usage, US: Realtors) as laboratory animals for experiments instead of rats. Two reasons: first, they are considerably more of them and second, people don't get so much emotionally involved with any suffering to them". Apologies to any "realtors" out there. Some of my best friends are estate agents.....

I left about a quarter of a century ago and have now little reason to return. I was forced (pandemic times) to return to the UK in 2020 for a couple of weeks which was the first visit in nearly ten years. It felt strange, then I put my finger on it - everybody speaks English - but this felt like a foreign country - just like I felt when I was in Canada for a couple of months. Subtle differences (actually not that subtle) - the High Street in Hounslow almost empty, just fast-food and phone repair shops - everything else moved to the Internet or out-of-town shopping centres.

The Italian for "no" is NO ???? -
I have searched high and low for that in Thailand. Well I went to Rim Ping Chiang Mai and they don't have it. BUT they have HP sauce, as does Lotus and I think Big C as well!

When I was cycling a lot in a hot country these "rashes" were common - yes Zinc Oxide (nappy cream) helped, also some sort of fungal powder I was using clotrimazole

REALLY? I looked at Teeside Poly but decided I didn't want to leave Yorkshire so went to Sheffield Poly instead (Leeds Poly looked NAFF). What with Sheffield Uni we had great bands there - Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Lindisfarne, The Kinks, Nick Lowe, many many more that I can't remember now (probably due to the recreational substances I had taken). Was I geographically incorrect?

Agent Orange used to be highly recommended. -
Still some downpours but not as frequent or heavy. By November just a few days (so Google says)

Is a Drug to Treat Cannabis Addiction Finally Within Reach?
nglodnig replied to gargamon's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Actually coming up (true this) it IS fifty years since I first smoked da demon weed. Went through a period in my "yoof" where I smoked it frequently (for a while, yes every day all day) then got on with my life got married and had children, spliffs became more and more infrequent - sometimes years between tokes. NOW with the easy availabilty - every couple of days I'll have a mild spliff. Bored with it - the buzz is OK but not something I want to do all the time. There are addictive personalities that will get addicted to ANYTHING - it's not the fault of the chemical, it is with the person. -
Except when you are a retired employee of a Swiss bank. It's not free - but you get it for life. And signed up for Pacific Cross many years ago to avoid any age limits and the cost of the Swiss medical insurance is approx (max 7500 ) (min 3000 with no claims) CHF per annum per person which is more than adequate to pay for the Thai one, however much they increases their fees. (I hope)
