Trump Signature Set for US Dollar Bills in Historic First
Heads to big to fit. Not that he isn't dumb enough to have thought about it. A special orange bank note with his face on one side and his sphincter on the other so that the die hard will have it conveniet to kiss.

Xanax in Hua Hin
What do you wanr it for ? Xanax is not a sleeping pill. It helps but is more of an anti depresant. If you need something that will knock you out for traveling get a doctors certificate for ' dormicorn '. You will get a really good deep sleep without feeling sleepy the next day. Nowadays i just use Domirax anti histimine tablets. Work very well. Good long sleep. Drawback is feeling groggy the next day until after lunch.

Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start
I learnt Thai from this book also. I had a Thai friend read everything for me which I tape recorded to get the correct tones. Then whenever I had 5 minutes , listen and repeat over and over. I have nor seen this book around recently and they stopped updating it which was a pity as new vocabulary gets into all languages. It is not essential to learn to read at first but as you progress it becomes clear that it is a no brainer and that being able to read will ne an enormous and indespensable help. As an aside , many moons ago I was in a DK bookshop in MBK browsing language books when I chanced upon one written by a Colonel in the Thai army. Opening the book to page one there was a hand drawn close up picture of a womans open vagina with all the parts neatly labeled in Thai and English. Page 2 covered the mens ' bits '. Page 3 then went to simple introductions and all was normal thereafter. I regret not buying that as a novelty item.

US Considering Asylum for British Jews
Right now , thanks to Netanyahu and Israel , jews probably wont feel safe anywhere , especially in Israel. I have non practicing jewish friends in the UK and they feel entirely safe. Only the ones wearing fancy dress seem to attract negative attention.

Iranian missile strikes near Israel nuclear site leave over 100 injured
If you start a war then you should not complain or be surprised if you get shot at in return.

really inconsiderate people...
Assuming you could find the correct oriface under the folds of skin. I guess you would have to follow your nose on that one. A bit like sex on a bouncy castle.

Renewing UK passport
I was ....... then they decided to have a war right in the place I was planning to pass through ( Middle East , Dubai ). Result is that although it is still doable , will have to be a non stop flight and as expected I can no longer do the round trip for 27,000 as planned , more like 38,000 with EVA .....and of course that could change. So everything on hold for a month. If situation does not improve , back to plan A with VFS. Luckily I have a few months in hand as current passport still good for another year.

Trump: US carried out 'most powerful bombing raid in history'
Historically , bombing other countries into submission has a bad track record with the exception of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. As you say , its going to take boots on the ground to achieve regime change in Iran , and lots of them. Hardly going to prove popular with American voters.

Thai will for foreigner
I asked about this at my Bangkok Bank. Even joint accounts need to go through probate before surviving spouse can access funds. Tiresome and costly. The bank staff just advised leaving my wife my ATM card so that she could withdraw the cash slowly after my death. Not legal but that is what they said. So instead , I got a decent safe , well hidden and secured and keep the bulk of my cash in it leaving only 100,000 in the bank as a float. Simple with instant access.

Time To Fill The Tank Up!
Drove to Bangkok today from Petchabun. Surprisingly , most gas stations had no queues. But just one had a queue of pickup trucks 200 meters long ? Odd that unless others already out. In our home town same. PTT long queue. Shell around the corner ...normal. In any case the government should announce that filling up water butts on the back of trucks with gas is illegal. Seen that already

Small Package from Ubon to USA
They might let it pass in an envelope with a little tissue around it. I still post envelopes to the USA but my order books have fallen off a cliff. Also experiencing non delivery of items sent obliging me to refund.The tariff calculations are so complicated that they have suspended accepting anything larger than envelopes. If you live in a big city DHL etc might be a better bet. This is not only Thailand. Many countries postal services have suspended accepting anything for the USA. Great job Donald.
