Yes, we both know the truth, Jonathan. Part of your lying persona is the veneer of championing free speech and libertarianism behind which lurks an authoritarian, who would like nothing more than to silence those with whom you disagree. The truth hurts, John Boy, but sometimes it can't be avoided.Thu, 21 May 2026 08:06:51 +0000Yesterday after a paper signing trip to the bank, where they aways make multiple copies of all the documents in my passport, including various TM forms, a 90 day and so on. I put the passport away in a special pouch it always goes in that is zippered shut, failing to check if the loose pages were still there. This A.M. I was looking for a form, and all were gone. My wife called the bank today and asked about the documents. They had nothing. I am sure they got trashed in the overnight cleanup. The teller remembers taking out the documents and making copies of my passport. Question: Has this happened to anyone here? Do I need top do anything, and if so, what and how?Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:51 +0000Tell that to this lot - https://www.bas.ac.uk/ and David Attenborough, the 3 members of my family who worked there since the 1960s, explain the successful studies in the ozone layer and the research into blue-green algae... how do you explain the cruises that go there these days?Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:41 +0000Can govt hospitals not order newer, novel meds? They will not, of course, appear on the List of Essential Medications.Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:16 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:13 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 08:04:54 +0000Yes, that's the one!Thu, 21 May 2026 08:04:28 +0000I just went to the hospital (well known government one in Korat) after an MRI session last week. The doctor said I have a RADS 4 score lesion that needs a biopsy and I have been booked in for a night and then the op the following day. Just wondering, from those who have been through this or know given their medical background, whether I should just trust the diagnosis and proceed, or whether it would be wise to postpone until a second opinion is obtained. Would need another MRI session somewhere else and delay, which if I do have prostate cancer would probably not be a good idea. Feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.Thu, 21 May 2026 08:03:06 +0000Meanwhile... Donald Trump has claimed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will do whatever is asked of him, insisting the pair are on the same page over negotiations to end the Iran war.

It describes the outcome — an early, preventable death — not a moral judgement on whether you approve of the person’s actions.Thu, 21 May 2026 08:02:31 +0000It all well and good posting how bad trump is which i agree he is a moron !!

It might well be that some mayneed to adjust their lifestyle to return home...☹️ For us Danes, our governmental pension will normally be more — about double, if you are not wealthy, and if you are wealthy, you can afford to return — but abround 40% generally lower living costs in Thailand compensates that. For Brits the frozen state-pension might be unfrosen when returning (a Brit will know).Thu, 21 May 2026 08:01:20 +0000So what did you expect, providing their own Vaseline?Thu, 21 May 2026 08:01:04 +0000You were luckyThu, 21 May 2026 08:00:43 +0000Ok, change of plans. I guess it´s barbecue night, then.Thu, 21 May 2026 08:00:25 +0000Ok, so you see tragedy, as a self-inflicted madness. I think I and very many more will differ about that.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:58:45 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:57:53 +0000Installation is synonymous with election, isn't it?Thu, 21 May 2026 07:57:41 +0000Not surprisingly since it doesn’t exist, but thank you for responding anyway.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:57:31 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:57:06 +0000If a 27-year-old dying overseas doesn’t qualify as tragic to you, that probably says more about you than him.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:56:37 +0000Great stat's. Australia leads the world in per capita cocaine consumption, with an estimated 4.5% of the population (about 1 million people) reporting recent use. Driven by high disposable incomes and a resilient black market, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission recorded a historic 69% surge in cocaine consumption.
