You need to stay single (or get single) no matter where you live. You'd be doing the female population a big favour.

The cause of cancer is usually very hard to ascertain and it usually takes a long time to develop. Let's wait another 5 - 10 years and see how the rates of cancer compare vs pre-covid.

Yes, nothing to do with shouting.

This has little to do with shouting. He wasn't eligible for an extension, therefore he had to leave. Maybe he was lucky they gave him 7-days and didn't lock him up.

I never answer my phone unless I know who's calling. It's one of the pleasures of being retired. On the rare occasion I have answered, it was a robo call.

It depends on the bloke, but there's a lot more to research than watching YouTube videos. Doctors don't keep you healthy - they presecribe drugs to keep you alive if/when you're sick.

Interesting you mentioned heart surgery. Cancer and heart conditions would be the end of me. It's a personal decision I made long ago and I'm sticking to it - no surgery or medical intervention. It's ironic that serious heart conditions are one of the well known side effects of covid jabs. Here's some info from the British Heart Foundation: Heart Matters

Obviously a thread about colds and infuenza will include discussion about covid and jabs.

I don't believe doctors and do my own research - and don't believe in rushed vaccines. No way was I going to get a covid jab. Have you checked out the stats coming out all over the world for excess deaths. You might be surprised how many more people are dying on average than pre-covid. You might not have been sick for years, but lets see how you go the next few years before bragging about it.

Yeah, me too, no jab - no sick (for ages)

No.

Some people might attempt to have deep and meaningful discussions with bargirls and mamasans, but there is a reason why so many choose to discuss this on an expat forum instead. When you're talking to bargirls, keep the discussions as superficial as possible. Talking to you is just a job for them - they would rather not have to.

There's a lot of benefit to living by the day and not stressing too much about the future. It's probably one of the reasons you are living in Thailand.

Now the US government is concerned about Democracy in Thailand, but they were quite happy to accept a coup leader as PM after the last elections and didn't seem to object too strongly about the coup leader drafting a new constitution. It would be better if the US minded their own business as they have more than enough problems of their own. Considering their own political circus, it's hard to take them seriously these days.

I don't rely on indicators either. I check to see if someone is trying to pass me on the right (if I'm turning right) and I also use a lot of hand gestures. To be safe you have to look both ways when turning right. In this accident Mr Sakorn is trying his best to explain it's not his fault. Sadly the victim won't be able to testify.
