  1. 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.
  2. but "room temp" is v different in LoS than in France....& Europe generally...so bung your red in the fridge for an hour....
  3. Ah, we see now. You are a birthing person (or used to be). How sweet and nice. Are you still going through menopause?
  4. Info on daily dosage of magnesium here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/magnesium-dosage#supplements
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. No, the war would not stop even if US and Iran stopped funding etc. Why not? Cos "from river to sea, Palestine shall be free" - in other words, Hamas and other similar terrorist groups will never give up on their fanatical determination to exterminate the Israeli population.
  15. https://apnews.com/article/business-middle-east-israel-foreign-aid-gaza-strip-611b2b90c3a211f21185d59f4fae6a90 I am not American, so, yes, they are not my tax dollars. But plenty of evidence (see the above link, one of hundreds) that mainly American (but also European) dollars/euros are being funnelled to Hamas (aka Palestine). UNRWA alone receives nearly $100 million per annum from the American taxpayer.
  16. Iranian wallets are stuffed with American dollars. The Biden regime has been accommodating Iran's terrorism with generous contributions from the American taxpayer. The Wall Street Journal summarises the whole sordid charade here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/10-billion-more-for-iran/ar-AA1k3xX8
  17. What's so sad, really, is this 44 yr old bloke's sheer ignorance of women.....
  18. surely Neil Warnock could get something done with his half-time rants? or Unai Emery with his perfect command of the English janglage? Good ebening.
  19. Where do I buy underwear from? Often it's Bangladesh, but Indonesia seems to be competitive these days....
  20. A Canadian, Angela (as her name suggests) is as pure as the driven snow. Not in your most pervy dreams would she be capable of using her hands (let alone her mouth) for those jobs you fantasize about. Now Yuja Wang is another story altogether. (But I've never heard her play Bach....I was concentrating too much on her naked legs.)
  21. My favourite insult (which sounds like an apology) is "sorry if it's confusing". Taken from Fawlty Towers when Basil is showing Mr Hutchison, the spoons man, a "map" of how to get from the hotel to the Post Office, and follows it up with "sorry if it's confusing."
