  5. I don't want to be "pedanatic" (as the OP might say), but when you say "I never last", what exactly does the "last" refer to? The massage itself or you and the happy ending?
  6. I was responding to Deez (his criticism of AC as one of the worst airlines) - I was trying to avoid being so crass as to suggest that one of the reasons the flight attendants on AC are so ....er.....unlike attendants on Asian airlines is that woke considerations obviously play a large part in the company's recruitment policies - something one notices the moment one steps on board. I could be more crass than that, but I will respect your intelligence enough to assume that you know what I am talking about.... Sorry if it's confusing.
  7. Of course, you've got to remember Canada is so woke a country that even immigrants from the 3rd world seeking a better life in Canada have been reported to be leaving in large numbers!
  8. We took this flight in Business last March. The plane was 100% full. Even Business seemed overcrowded to me. One major drawback was the time of the flight to YVR. It left BKK at 8.30 am. I imagine most people had had a night's sleep before boarding. At about 10.30 am (Bkk time) - and after a "main" meal, the cabin is plunged into darkness and we're invited to try and sleep for a large segment of daytime flight. We arrived in YVR at about 6 am (PST). So there's a long day ahead until you reach your "proper" bedtime. Maybe daily flights will introduce more comfortable timings. Still, I believe this flight was a big money-spinner for AC, since it does away with those extra hours of travel via NTA or TPE and other such stopping points. Nevertheless, Eva Air (imo) provides the best service across the Pacific.
  9. but "room temp" is v different in LoS than in France....& Europe generally...so bung your red in the fridge for an hour....
  10. Minds like Swiss cheese:
  11. Ah, we see now. You are a birthing person (or used to be). How sweet and nice. Are you still going through menopause?
  12. Info on daily dosage of magnesium here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/magnesium-dosage#supplements
  13. The article on magnesium is v interesting. (I've been taking magnesium supplements for a few years.) As far as i can see, it does not mention the best suggested amount of daily consumption.
  14. your avatar: 42 oz. was this your weight at birth, Fred??
  15. If you live on the income from an annuity, the amount of monthly income will depend on life expectancy in your own country at the time you took out the annuity. For most of us living in LoS, our longevity will depend to a large extent on the state of our livers. You can easily google "liver health" to find all the do's and don't's (and diets) to keep that organ as healthy as possible after your diagnosis of cirrhosis arrives.
  16. Are you for real? Or are you pig ignorant? Don't you see that everyone on this thread is pulling your leg? Thailand is considering legislation to ban Canadians from entering LoS because their stupid prime mincer has accused China of interfering in elections, and Beijing phoned Bangkok ordering them to punish all Canadians (even though only 28% of those who bothered to vote actually voted for the idiot Trudeau). Btw, you can enter Mexico for six months with no visa...
  17. Traffic too congested for driver to flee?
  18. Krapp's Last Tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krapp's_Last_Tape Trying to recall moments in past life and getting pi$$ed off with myself for being able to recall all FACES but not being able to put NAMES to those faces.
  19. Germans? Here, Fawlty? Bad eggs, all of 'em.
  20. Stormed?? A little over the top for what was at stake (especially since the photo seems to suggest they're all having a very boring discussion about the affair)? Helping police with their inquiries, as they used to say.
  21. BBC Sport for latest football news. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football Everyman crossword: https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/everyman/4023#14-across various sites re gold and/or oil. https://mcalvany.com/commentary/episodes/ for intelligent commentary on current economic/financial issues https://www.marketwatch.com for general stock market stuff I use Duck Duck Go to avoid Google.
  22. Well, he promised to build a wall, and look....oh, I forgot, it was only 40 miles long. I'm surprised that Kamala (the Border Czar) does not blame the 6 million illegal entries to the USA since January 20, 2021 on Trump and his failure to deliver the goods re the Wall.
  23. Taiwan has China Airlines and Eva Air, both excellent airlines. However, I do sometimes feel nervous when flying into Taipei because of the constant harassment of the Taiwanese by the Mainland.
  24. The fact that several people on this thread indicate that it happened to them in the last year or two does not allay one's fears that this is totally unnecessary harvesting of information.
