Shame on the anti Democrats who wanted to reverse the result of the Brexit vote and simultaneously insult the electorate. It's no surprise that fans of a technocratic corrupt EU would fight democracy but shame on them none the less. Shame on them @RayCSun, 21 Jun 2026 15:49:56 +0000Now I don't live in Thailand full-time, and I don't like Thai food at all, but when I am in Thailand, which is very often because my wife is Thai, I also like pastries. I do like pasta or potatoes, but I hate rice. At home. I mostly cook for myself.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:48:16 +0000I rarely eat out for the same reason, and also because I generally have sanitary concerns. I’m the same when it comes to cheat meals. I much prefer pasta, pizza, or even egg noodles over anything rice-based. I do eat locally grown sweet potatoes regularly, though, and don’t put those in the same empty, simple-carb category. I also recently discovered that you can buy a kilo of either pea or soy protein isolate in Thailand for between 400 and 500 baht from many online sellers. It works out to half the price of whey protein, or even less. I generally avoid dairy anyway, so these plant-based protein supplements have become a very good and inexpensive alternative to whey for me and no digestion issues. I often mix a scoop of each into a shake to make sure I’m getting a complete amino acid profile. You also don’t need to be into bodybuilding or heavy into fitness to use protein supplements. As we age, I think it’s important to make sure we’re getting enough protein to support functional strength and bone density.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:45:18 +0000In this instance it its Israels Fault!

Do you have kids? Can you imagine identifying them in a morgue blown to bits? Children are not collateral damage!] Four months after the horrific Iran school bombing, fears grow that Trump and Hegseth will bury the truth A secretive investigation into the attack that killed at least 175 has concluded, reports suggest. Will its findings ever see the light of day? Andrew Roth in Washington and Tess McClure The Guardian: 21 Jun 2026 The attack on a girl’s elementary school in the Iranian town of Minab was one of the US military’s deadliest civilian bombings in decades. But nearly four months on, the Pentagon has produced no answers about why the military fired a Tomahawk cruise missile into a school on the first day of the war, killing at least 175 people, mostly children. Some critics doubt that the Pentagon ever will, or will bury the results under classifications to keep the worst mistakes secret from the public. Shortly after the attack, Donald Trump suggested that it was carried out by Iran. When it became clear that the strike used a US-made Tomahawk missile, he suggested that Iran also had access to the cruise missiles. It does not. It was at the beginning of what Trump has taken to calling a “little excursion” into Iran that the back-to-back or “double tap” strikes on the school building took place, killing mainly children under the age of 12. Officials have told media anonymously that the site was believed to be an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base. Trump said last week: “Mistakes are made. The war is nasty.”Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:40:56 +0000Of course not, but neither you nor I were there so it's a he said she said situation where Butterbean claims that was the case for his over the top drunken brawling.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:39:43 +0000That would be a good start. And leaving the ECHR obviously. America has freedom of speech. Hopefully that will return to the UK now your fascist tyrant hero Starmer is going.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:39:07 +0000You can always add eggs to any Thai dish or ask for extra meat. I have never met a 95yo who counted macros. They just eat whatever.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:38:59 +0000Get out you horrible fascist tyrant. Shame on all those who supported his tyranny. Hopefully freedom of speech can now return to the UK. Davos beware.

I'm not interested in your antisemitism.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:28:19 +0000Evil Anti-Trumpers are pouring corrosive chemicals into the pool. Right. My guess is that people walked by and grabbed pieces of the peeling paint and commented on the crappy job that was done on the over-budget no bid contract. More likely that those who can get a few more million of taxpayer money were "sabotaging" the pool. Gawd - two and a half more years of this windbag.Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:15:47 +0000Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:10:49 +0000I know this might sound slightly heretical for somebody with a physical connection to Thailand, but I do not actually eat Thai food very often. Before anybody accuses me of rejecting Thai culture or disrespecting one of the world’s great cuisines, that is not really the issue. I think a lot of Thai food tastes fantastic. My only request is that the chilli content remains below the threshold where my tongue becomes a crime scene and I can still identify at least some of the other ingredients. The real issue is nutritional value. Over the years I have become far more interested in macros than flavor alone. These days I tend to build most of my meals around protein, followed by healthy fats, fibre, and nutrient density. I generally avoid simple carbohydrates and pure starches with empty calories, whenever possible. That is where my relationship with a lot of Thai food starts becoming complicated. Take a typical meal. You might get a mountain of rice or noodles, a relatively modest amount of vegetables, and a surprisingly small portion of meat. Quite often the meat itself is also a fatty cut of pork rather than something particularly protein rich. It tastes great. That is not the problem. The problem is that I can easily look at the plate and see a huge carb load, modest protein, and not much else that fits particularly well with how I prefer to eat. I am not somebody who counts calories obsessively. I am more interested in what those calories consist of. Two very different meals can contain exactly the same number of calories and leave me feeling completely different about what I just put into my body. As a result, most of my day to day meals are fairly boring by comparison. Lots of eggs. Chicken. Vegetables. Nuts. Some fruit. The sort of food that nutritionists applaud and food photographers might immediately lose interest in. So I am curious what others choose to eat, and are you mainly thinking about taste and enjoyment, or do you also pay strong attention to the nutritional value of what is on the plate?Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:09:22 +0000Seriously?
