They also have awful customer service when there is a big issue that is never admitted. No wonder the chinese take over all over. They just do not argue. You have an issue, they tackle it or refund and it's case closed. Europe anyhow is doomed thanks to the disastrous governance at the European Union. No matter what the wokes may say, the UK was very smart in leaving the wrecking european union that is going to the dogs, with excessive and uncontroled immigration, crime and squandering of public funds to Ukraine.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:44:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>'You've got legs!'

Trump is not the problem. It's all those Starmer types who are destroying their nations with excessive immigration, allowing crime, squandering trillions to Ukraine, cutting out cheap russian oil...they are the real threat.   It seems that western and European leaders are trying to cause general depression of their popoulations. Perhaps when your own are depressed and become weak, its easier to control them.   Of course sounds this like a complotist theory and I feel bad saying such stuff that myself would have considered rubbish not so long ago. But does it not seem funny that most leaders in wester europe, Usa etc are taking the most absurd decisions that are plainly ruining their nation's economy, harming their safety, well being and the quality of life of their own ??</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:38:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>'You've got legs!'

Thai food itself is outstanding, so this is far from a criticism of Thailand (just incase anyone wanted to go down that accusatory road).  I think Thai cuisine is among some of the best in the world. But the desserts... I've never found one that I find even remotely enjoyable. They're often just far too sweet for my taste, and many have textures that simply don't appeal to me.  That said, Thailand more than makes up for it with its international desserts. There are countless caf&#xE9;s, bakeries and restaurants serving superb cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, gateaux, tarts, pies, pastries, croissants, &#xE9;clairs, mille-feuille, tiramisu, panna cotta, cr&#xE8;me br&#xFB;l&#xE9;e, profiteroles, macarons, baklava, brownies, cookies, ice cream and gelato.   In that respect, we're absolutely spoilt for choice - just not in 'very Thai style Thai restaurants' !!...</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:37:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>'You've got legs!'

We have families, raised many children, treat our women well, don't cause any trouble here or in person.   Never cheat, neglect or abuse anyone. Worked all our lives, helped out many, aren't prejudiced, and look at everyone as equals. Come here to offer advice and help where we can, and thank others for the same. Are well read and educated, especially on subjects psychological, and are quick to spot shady characters with only trouble on their minds.   Now, the other side. Superior acting, deflecting everything said, accusing others of things he knows nothing about. Turns whatever you say around to suit his narrative. Uses that false information from past history and installs it when he runs low on insults in the present. Says he has an 11 year relationship with one woman yet brags about going out with many girls and having them pay his way. Constant deflecting towards whoever calls him out on his obvious actions. Gaslighting until the cows come home. Has one other cohort that sticks up for him against others while he turns around and insults him also. But we're the Delusioneers. Amusing. Can't wait for the comeback, although it could just be another cut and paste from earlier times.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:35:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Should Thailand fine men for going topless in public?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397588-should-thailand-fine-men-for-going-topless-in-public/?do=findComment&comment=20573682]]></link><description>I would rather say fine the ladies who are   n o t  topless in public.  &#x1F61C;</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:33:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>'You've got legs!'

The confrontation was also reportedly 'instigated' by the Thai man.  It was reported on The Thaiger that the Thai Muai Thai instructor warned two foreign (British) men who were riding by side (apparently slower than he wanted so he couldn't pass) - its unclear exactly what happened after that...  .. We can speculate... Was his warning ? Polite.... Please don't ride side by side you are slowing traffic ? Or was his warning more far more aggressive and triggered a conflict ? I'd guess the later - and when the conflict occurred - he didn't expect to lose because he is a Muai Thai instructor.  So was this one of those examples of locals using any excuse to get aggressive with a foreigner ?  Then it turned out the foreigner could handle himself - so the Thai Muai Thai instructor suffered a loss of face - he went home and returned with a sword (must have lived very close by).  Defo more to the story here regarding the build up and initial confrontation.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:31:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cafe Pitini closing on June 28</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397619-cafe-pitini-closing-on-june-28/?do=findComment&comment=20573677]]></link><description>Making up things about me wanting to go to the police, doesn't really help your cause of being the resident cheap charlie on this forum.
