I could say "you really can't make this up", but we're way past that now.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:47:47 +0000If you end up using them for a longer period of time, try different brands to see which works best for you. The viscosity of different brands can vary significantly. I have used Optive UD for years and find them just right: moderate viscosity so the tear film lasts a little while, but not overly viscous. Warm compress with gentle fingertip massage of eyelids (wash hands well first) is good for helping keep the oil glands unblocked. Occasional eyelid cleaning also helps - baby shampoo is good for this because it's formulated to not sting in the eyes as much as standard shampoo / soap.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:47:19 +0000He loves badgers I'm not so sure....Thu, 21 May 2026 06:47:07 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 06:45:30 +0000This has been evident for years now. All these bike gangs that terrorize the beach resorts , nasty drunks , drugged and thieves, fine and deport . All these visa changes when all it needs is good policing and getting these thugs and no goods out of thailand for good. News will get round and eventually they will move elsewhere.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:45:18 +0000Never bothered me, being a former soccer referee and a member of the UK Police Service. Everything went over my head!Thu, 21 May 2026 06:44:50 +0000Let's face it. IOs have a miserable, paper-pushing, purposeless job for which they get paid peanuts.

It's not always purely a out money.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:39:05 +0000I fed a couple of pages into ChatGPT which is really the best AI to use for poetry and asked it to make a Phil Larkinesque poem about the accumalted depravity of these immigrant crimes - this is what it wrote ; Another Foreign NationalEach morning brings another one. A man from somewhere hot and poor Who, having crossed the Rio Grande, Has raped, strangled, or dealt in meth. The posts arrive before first light — ICE press releases, DHS, Fox clips, mugshots, courthouse sketches, Links from somewhere deep in X. A Honduran. Then a Cuban. Guatemala. El Salvador. Always “heinous”. Always “illegal”. Always typed in block capitals. And underneath, the same replies: Law and Order. Due Process. The White House tweeting “Adiós” Like a sitcom line with handcuffs. Outside, sprinklers tick through dawn. Pickup trucks hum past strip malls. A waitress tops up coffee cups Beside the interstate at six. Yet somewhere, endlessly refreshed, The thread goes on accumulating Its cargo-cult of degradation — Each horror carefully itemised. Not crime itself, which is routine, But origin becoming fate: The passport standing in for sin, The border turned theology. And one retired man in Thailand Keeps feeding names into the furnace, As though statistics were prayer beads Against the fear of growing old. Because that’s there as well beneath it: Not merely hatred — though there’s some — But terror of decline itself, Of America softening at the edges. The diner closed. The factory hollowed. Spanish spoken at the bank. The baffling sense the country moves Without requesting your permission. So every rape becomes symbolic. Every deportation, proof That somewhere still a father-state Remembers how to lock a gate. And still the thread grows longer nightly, Scrolled through by insomniacs and drunks While outside, in the larger nation, Most immigrants are washing dishes, Roofing houses in Nevada, Driving Ubers through the rain, Studying nursing, wiring suburbs, Trying to survive another week. But none of that becomes a post. No one bookmarks ordinary goodness. No one writes: FOREIGN NATIONAL WORKS DOUBLE SHIFT, PAYS HIS TAXES. Instead the screen glows blue till dawn, Its little bursts of dread and triumph, And somewhere past the glowing malls America sleeps with the TV on.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:38:45 +0000Good to hear the old 'ayhea' insult 🤣🤣Thu, 21 May 2026 06:38:32 +0000Okay, this article does raise some genuinely interesting points in a fairly measured way. It feels quite insightful in places, while still leaving a bit of space for context, and the possibility that not everything presented By Andrew Drummond and Adam Howell is air tight. Drummond is frequently publishing with fact checking. This is careless as the disgraced journalist was convicted of fake allegations. https://drummondhowellcampaign.com/evidence/pattaya-groups-incitement-may-2026Thu, 21 May 2026 06:38:00 +0000Good thing they didn't try it out--yew! Coulda been the suspicious noice that tipped them off. I would think most sex toys (except that inflatable sheep) are USB these days. The link to the Womanizer Liberty 2 (freedom from men?) tells us this for peace of mind: "Keeps your toy switched off during travel - no suspicious noises or wasted battery charge." There aren't very many carpets left in Patts.Thu, 21 May 2026 06:37:50 +0000To avoid capture the second time the foreign national used his vehicle to resist arrest by backing into ICE enforcement.
