Canadians (excluding the Gretta crowd) welcome Climate Change (which recently used to be called "Global Warming"). It shortens our winters and makes it possible to grow more fruit and veg.....

Apparently, Trump sleeps only 4 hours per night. (He has never had alcohol or tobacco.) His ability to keep going, using incredible amounts of energy in just talking, talking, talking, makes him a medical marvel (especially if you compare him with the corpse that was occupying the White House the last 4 years.....)

The AI-generated "English" of the report reminds me of a great Peter Sellers satire on those early black&white travelogues inflicted on movie-goers before the main movie. Sellers would drone on in a wonderful fake American accent: "Welcome to Bal-ham, gateway to the South". Anyone who knew the real Balham in south London would pee themselves at this satiric distortion of the "truth"!! Same here.

I am old enough to recall that we have been threatened with extinction as a result of famine, as a result of entering a new ice age (global cooling) and now apocalyptic declarations that the end is nigh (2030 if you believe little Gretta) as a result of global warming. No wonder that 60% of Americans think it's a load of codswallop.

Is Thailand ready for *metoo?

If we're honest, no one can actually predict wtf is going to happen world-wide, but I can imagine one temporary outcome would be paralysis, world wide (even if only for a month or two, but any full stop to world trade is going to have knock-on effects for a year or two or possibly more.) Global financial crisis. Who steps in to resolve it????

.....and lunatic.

4 years to go till Starmer (or whoever) has to go to the country. Worldwide volatility makes it more difficult than ever to predict much further than the next six months. Perhaps the UK may have to become more "European" and make do with a coalition of some sort.

Well, she once shared a bed for a few years with Jeremy Corbyn. Can't think of a nicer couple....🥰

If Thailand were blessed with a Joe Stalin, it might then have a police force that actually policed the roads and thus helped to reduce the traffic fatalities that plague this country....

Where did you get this fake news from???

What so few seem to realise is that Canada has been selling its lumber for many decades to Japan and China (and of course the US). Many progressives in Canada have lamented the fact that Canada is just content to export raw logs, without developing secondary industry connected to the lumber (as is the case in Sweden, which encouraged the growth of IKEA into the world-class company it is today).

Who cares about "reputation"? You can't eat it or sell it. And tariffs help the cause of "America first." Other countries, especially Canada, have lots of scope to retaliate and move for more even-handedness in trade deals.

Trump is dead right about the Canadian dairy tariffs, which are exclusively the fault of Quebec farmers. Over many decades, governments of both sides have been too fearful of losing votes in Quebec. Both major parties need Quebec votes to gain and keep power. As a result, Canadians as a whole pay vastly inflated prices for their dairy products. It would be great for Canadians if Trump would target that tariff in particular (it comes to about 300%).

The crashes will come when Trump announces who will be the next Fed chair, specifically chosen cos he will undertake to lower rates asap. Leading to massive inflation and all that goes with that...

Is there any other country on the face of the earth that simply opens its borders and says "come in, help yourself"? (Well, ok, Germany in 2015, I'll grant you that, and the UK perpetually, though the latter does at least make feeble attempts to catch the incoming hordes.) All this litigation and hot pursuit are a total condemnation of the Biden regime and its failure to protect its own citizens.

My derm (in Canada) about 10 yrs ago suggested I take NIACINAMIDE. Researchers in Australia had announced that niacinamide was effective in resisting BCCs. I had had many BCCs over the years and my lack of them in the last decade would suggest that niacinamide did indeed work. Also, keeping out of the sun is (obvs) the most effective form of resistance!

Ladyboy. Sorry if it's confusing.

One of the great benefits of living in Thailand is that one does not have to put up with this kind of $hite. And if you are a "katowe" who wants to have babies, well....mai pen rai......and good luck.

It's a good job the Muslims are not into music much (if at all). And these evangelical Christians tend to produce "music" involving lots of drums, cymbals, guitars and other such rubbish sounds. So, I am with the cops on this one: it's not your beliefs that offend me, but the noise produced while expressing them.

Don't worry: Nigel will fix it all when he becomes P.M.....

So this guy (surely a Bond villain?) is "incredibly charismatic"? About as charismatic as a turnip more like. Can't help noticing how often anti-war broads like this one express their anti-war feelings with such warlike expressions of spitting hatred. Wouldn't like to meet her on a dark night in Shanghai.

She should be put away, not necessarily as humanely as possible.....

I have no confidence in any tall structures in Thailand. I don't trust the quality of the foundations.

No mention of a crane driver?
