Rich Guys and Egos - The Inevitable
josephbloggs replied to josephbloggs's topic in Political Soapbox
Not one to gloat or say "I told you so". But I told you so, on April 29th. But they lasted until early June - not bad going. -
Musk calls Trump’s big tax break bill a ‘disgusting abomination'
josephbloggs replied to BLMFem's topic in Political Soapbox
How are those free thinking and diverse thoughts going? -
I think they tend to resign when they realise they have parliamentary responsibilities and actual work to do. Much easier to shout about immigrants from the sidelines. Actual stuff to do? Ugh. Would explain why Nigel doesn't turn up even for the most important parliamentary votes about things he is supposedly passionate about.

Not a single Ferrari in that photo. Three GT-Rs and a Honda CR-V. -
Things that annoy you in Thailand

People on AN showing pictures with their manky feet in them. Vile. -
Yeah, at Dubai T3 they are all mixed together, hence the security checks. At Singapore they are all mixed together too and everyone here raves about Changi. This is why Changi has security screening at the gates.

Yeah, just let them park where they want and block the narrow streets - great idea. And to think people (rightfully) complain when we see different rules applied for rich and poor. -

Wow, you actually believe that and you can't even see the hypocrisy dripping from what you've written - it is hilarious. So when Trump insults or personally attacks those within that dare to criticise or defy him that's a tolerance for "free thinking" and "diverse thoughts"? Strange as to me it sounds like he has a thin skin and can't tolerate dissent or questions. Look at how he treats reporters that ask him ever so slightly difficult questions - he interrupts, insults, and attempts to bully them. But yeah, he loves the free thinking and diverse thoughts. You are so far in to the cult you can no longer see reality. Beyond help. -
But the quantity has gone up! (By nearly 65 posts a day)

Hilarious. If only I had an EV.

Yeah, definitely didn't take away from the experience. An amazing vibe, great people, great fun. The money I lost wasn't a big deal but I did lose a pocket camera so the worst thing was losing the photos. Of course these days it wouldn't be an issue as most people save their phone pictures in the cloud. And like I said I was extremely drunk so I kind of made myself an obvious target. If it does go up your list and you seriously consider it just PM me or start a new thread and I'd be happy to share recommendations on places to go. I only knew Rio like most people but the rest of my itinerary was based on the recommendation of someone who had experience and it made all the difference. No way would I have known to go to Iguasu or the places up in the north east. I mean now there are a million YouTubers but not 18/19 years ago.

Report Thai Man Jailed in Singapore for Bribery After Public Urination
josephbloggs replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yeah, worked there for a while myself and visited probably 20 times like you. The people are nice and helpful as you say and obviously English is almost universally spoken. I just find the place a bit artificial and mostly it doesn't feel like Asia - I prefer a bit of chaos. And I hate the fact it is so artificially expensive, that's my biggest issue I think. Oh, and the accent. Nothing against it really, it's just not my favourite place to visit or spend long periods of time in. Give me Bangkok any day. -
I have done it although I think it was 2006 so not the most up to date advice, but routes are still valid. I flew to Brasil via London. Bangkok to Heathrow, approx 12 hours on Eva air. Couple of hours change to stretch legs and have a couple of beers, then around 12 hours on Varig to Sao Paolo. A stop in Sao Paolo then a 2-3 hour flight to Iguazu. However the Varig flight was late, it was a horrible old plane, the cargo doors wouldn't open and it took several hours to get our bags so we missed our connection. The London route is definitely viable as it breaks the journey in to two equal halves. But it was best for me as I could stop off in the UK for a few days on the way back. If I was doing it today I would probably just go with Emirates via Dubai. I spent about three weeks in Brasil during carnival time, traveling to 5 different cities, and a day hop over the border to Argentina at Iguazu. Best time of my life, highly recommend Brasil as a place to visit. Beautiful country, beautiful people, fun loving people. No vaccines. No visa required as a UK citizen. Took some cash and cards, no different than going anywhere else. Winged it. Was easy to get by, and also easy to pick up a few words. And that was before Google translate or anything. Not really. The culture was just FUN. Be friendly to people and get heaps of friendliness in return. The only thing is we heard so many horror stories (mostly from people who have never been) that when we landed in Rio we thought there was a decent chance of being robbed, so hid cash in one sock, cards in another with just small money in our pockets. Didn't even take a camera out the first couple of days, so I didn't get any photos from up at Christ the Redeemer or anywhere else we went the first couple of days. Then we realised we were being stupid and paranoid so behaved normally after that. I did get pickpocketed in Salavdor though during the carnival but I was extremely drunk so was an easy target. In short I would highly recommend it to anyone, I would love to go back one day.

Continuing your small penis obsession in another thread now? You have issues. Seek help. There are operations you can do.

Report Thai Man Jailed in Singapore for Bribery After Public Urination
josephbloggs replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I don't agree. Not a massive fan of Singapore but there is excellent public toilet availability. There are toilets in every single MRT station, every hawker centre, bus stations, most parks, all shopping malls. I don't think you can ever be far away from one in Singapore. -
One post from me. Dozens from them.
