Tucker Carlson drops first episode of bare-bones Twitter show
Stocky replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Tucker is a Russian asset -
As it might, quartz is silica oxide, same as glass which also has a habit of cutting flesh fairly easily.

If you want to confirm it's most probably quartz, and not any form of salt, then try scratching with a nail. Quartz has a hardness of 7, a steel nail 6.5, so the nail won't scratch it. Where gold does occurs then yes it is indeed often found in quartz veins, but there are an awful lot of quartz veins with absolutely nothing in them. .

Anyone would think they're were being made compulsory!

Yes I use pockets too, handkerchief, cash etc. But I'd struggle, and look rather ridiculous, trying to stuff all the things I need when I'm travelling into my pockets; passport, mobile phone, credit card wallet, Kindle, spectacles case, medicines, charger and house keys. I use the man-bag when not needing to take the laptop, when I have the laptop bag I generally leave the man-bag. I don't need the man-bag on a daily basis because normally I carry very little, mobile, handkerchief, cash and keys, and they do all fit comfortably in my pockets.

Fits on your head does it.

Postman faces 200,000 baht baht bill for lost parcel
Stocky replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
We use it for very little, most stuff is email pdf paper free, but there are somethings that still come in the post. -
I really don't give a flying f$%k what anyone thinks, other folks hang-ups aren't my concern, I just like travelling comfortably.

Bought it in Kimyong market Hat Yai for about Bht2000, it's 26cm long, 18cm wide with more pockets and pouches than you can shake a stick at.

I have a leather 'man-bag' long strap cross-shoulder type which I use if I'm travelling without the rolling office. Holds passport, credit cards, phone, kindle, house keys - the sort of stuff you might put in a coat which of course you would never need in the tropics.

We've always enjoyed the food and music at the Good View, nice sitting by the river. The Dash Thai restaurant is also good.

Yes. but not normally in restaurants as part of the 'seasonal vegetable' offering; I like sprouts, but suspect more people don't. The Marichan Japanese restaurant is still running, but there's no Japanese opposite the Siam Nakarin Complex anymore, I can't remember one there. My personal favourite is still the Hashi, though I also like the Mushashi Isakaye too. .

I don't think our postman can read. We get mail for the right number but wrong soi, other people get our mail (presumably right number wrong soi), sometimes they think to drop it off, but it's usually weeks late. -

Yeah of course it did. -
Indeed, spread the load. Malaysian tour buses cause all sorts of traffic problems in Hat Yai where they just park up for the weekend. I noticed recently that several sections of Thumnoonvithi Road now have signs saying no tour bus parking, Songkhla Town has the same problem. Better they're allowed to travel out of the province.

"Unpresidented" reforms to UK migration !
Stocky replied to Social Media's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Indeed the UK is un-Presidented, we have Prime Minister, I think you mean unprecedented. -
Rubbish. Have you actually watched the series? Sure the early rounds include some clunkers but the standard of the competitors that reach the semis and final is exceptional; whilst not chefs by profession, the quality of food produced puts that of many 'professional chefs' to shame. Several of the winners and finalists have successfully changed career off the back of their success and become professional chefs.

Excellent, I've never tried the pizzas there though they do look good. I had the duck confit which was splendid, there was even a brussels sprout amongst the vegetables. Wife had the pork stuffed with parma ham and a mushroom duxelles, and granddaughter had the pork tenderloin with mushroom and truffle sauce. Starters we shared the crab crepe, and Thai salmon tartar, dessert was fruit and ice cream, strawberries in cream (they were sharp), and a chocolate surprise. Service was good, and the food came in the right order, all in all a very pleasant evening.
