Why did the proper cod from Oxford University always swim so elegantly? Because he had a degree in fin-esse!

I commercial fished when I was in my 20s. I don't have any idea where you came up with that nonsense. "They are dirty." Lol. So they are bottom feeders. So is halibut, catfish, flounder, halibut, and sole, not to mention crabs, lobsters, clams, mussels, oysters. Oh, and you missed eels. Perhaps you are just another Western clean-freak, obviously one who is afraid of fish and tasty crustaceans. With the exception of catfish and eels (don't particularly like the taste although smoked eel isn't too bad) I love all of the above. "They're DIRTY." Pfft - your loss. More for me.

Now ya done flung a cravin' on me. Damn you! Anyone know where you can find excellent fish & chips in Chiang Mai?

That's true too. If my wife was close to giving birth, I would NOT be on a vacation in Thailand sans wife and kids. I'd be with my wife during the birth of my new child. There's just something very strange and odd about this entire story. Especially considering that mum, who is a mathematics teacher, is looking to have GoFundMe provide here with "long-term support." GoFundMe and sites like this are for basically for short-term emergencies. I'm trying to add this up but I can't. 🤔

I'm thinking there is more to this story than this. Healthy 30 year olds don't generally die of sepsis unless their immune system is already compromised. Strange story. Somehow the blame will fall on Thailand, but given the lack of detail in the article, this could just as well have happened in the UK after eating e.coli infected lettuce. Which brings me back to wondering what isn't being discussed in the article. As I said, healthy 30 year olds don't generally die of sepsis unless their immune system is already compromised. Well, tragic. RIP. I hope the best for his wife and kids. That truly sucks.

If this was an AN poll (although I don't remember one) I would have said that I met my wife in Thai Soapy Massage "fish-bowl" just to take a p*** on the poll numbers.

Link?

You've mistaking Thailand for Germany, the UK, and parts of the EU. Unlike the UK and Germany, I haven't seen the Speech Police in my neighborhood - ever!

I'd have a winter ski chateau in the Swiss Alps but continue to live in Thailand. ⛷️

Maybe the US will hit Mamdani with a Hellfire missile in the name of "national security."

Gawd! Given the shipping cost who cares about duties and tariffs. I'd just buy a new laptop in Thailand and call it a day.

Enjoy your prison term. Conditions in a Georgian prison might actually be better than a Thai prison. Should be glad you didn't get busted during a stopover in the UAE or Saudi Arabia. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

BKK Pushes Forward with ‘Universal Design’ for Public Buildings to Promote Disability Access AAAAHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Typical sidewalk to get to said building.

Tuscany perhaps. Married to a big-breasted Italian gal. Le donne italiane sono belle, eleganti e piene di charme. (Italian women are beautiful, elegant, and full of charm). But reality? (slaps self in face to wake up) - really my only regret living in Thailand is that unlike foreign women who marry Thai guys, I have no path to citizenship via marriage. If I did I'd take it. I like Thailand, the culture, and honestly as a Theravada Buddhist, this is where I belong. Although raised Roman Catholic, but now I'd be a square peg in a round whole in Italy. Much more my type of gals👇

Yeah - like adding 5 Trillion USD to the freaking National Debt. Fyi - he's losing a significant portion of those who supported him. Not the true dyed-in-the-wool MAGA types, but the conservatives, independents, and moderate liberals who voted for him based on his campaign platform promises to engage in fiscal responsibility and end wars. What do we get? A Big Beautiful Abomination of a funding bill that removes the debt ceiling and add 5 freaking Trillion USD to the debt.

Given my Thai Tariff Shock Syndrome (T2S2) every time I buy something from the US to be shipped to Thailand - well? I'm none too sympathetic. Not even a little bit. There is a way out of 37% tariffs for Thailand. Drop their tariffs on US goods imported into Thailand and I 100% guarantee Trump will reciprocate. That's what the tariffs are meant to do - shock & awe high tariff countries into dropping their tariffs on US goods.

Thai Baht's Rise in Jeopardy Amid Political Uncertainty And now 37% tariffs on exports to the US. They're gonna need to start exporting quantity - better get that Thai Baht a lot lower to stimulate exports.

Anutin Denies Eyeing Thai PM Role Amidst Political Rumours Gotta get rid of the Shin Dynasty first.

So Brits only get digital passports in the near future? Then Brits can't leave the country because no other countries accept digital passports? Interesting that Western countries are now fully embracing authoritarian governance to equal or surpass the types of authoritarianism they claim exists in Russia and China. I can see a day coming on the horizon when Brits and Europeans freedom of movement is limited by social credit scores. Digital passport? That's a start. Easy to turn on, easy to turn off. UK Government "But it's convenient!" Sure it is.

Make me seriously consider how close to a civil war we may be in the US? "'Broken arrow' is arguably the most chilling and desperate order that an American military commander can issue. When faced with an enemy about to overrun a surrounded force, a commander uses it to call in an air or artillery strike on his own position. This month, many on the American left are issuing their own “broken arrow” signals, including calling on globalist allies to hit the U.S. with sanctions and other measures. They are seeking to achieve through sanctions what they could not achieve through elections." Op-Ed by US legal scholar, Johnathn Turley. Also published in The Hill. https://jonathanturley.org/2025/07/07/hit-us-please-americas-left-issues-a-broken-arrow-signal-to-europe/ https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/5385403-attack-us-please-americas-left-issues-a-broken-arrow-signal-to-europe/

The West wants a war with both Russia and China and have been engaged in provocative rhetoric for year. Will we have WW3? Yeah probably. Started by the US and NATO.
