I get respected, unlimited international travel health insurance (minus USA), which also explicitly states Covid, from a major German company that I've got another contract with. It covers motocys as long as I've got a helmet on and I'm not the one driving it. It is expensive - a couple of hundred euros a month rising shortly to 300,- or so. Contract is for one year travel. For a 60 year old it would be about €150. I don't know if they do it for non-residents/citizens. It certainly has to be agreed while still in country - before travel. But remains valid even if I return for visits of up to 4 weeks. Far better than those cheap travel packages which include baggage etc and normally only cover a few weeks at a time - AND as I've noticed recently won't even cover you traveling from one country to another whilst abroad. Wow! That would have even caught me out. (Maybe not - I do read everything through thoroughly and e-mail any questions if I've got any. They always answer so I've got it hard copy as well if need be.) For trips under 90 days I use my credit card travel health cover - similar conditions. Both have paid out without demur although I haven't had a major accident that required surgery and hozzy yet. But I'm certain they would. They're not interested in previous conditions, because they do it on a cohort basis: in this case age groups. And I'm healthy anyway.Mon, 25 May 2026 14:18:48 +0000I assume they only get two visa exempt entries per year so yeas it does affect them. May be Asean countries get some dispensation.Mon, 25 May 2026 14:17:48 +0000A few years? Didn't it come in in July 2024, so less that two years.Mon, 25 May 2026 14:14:20 +0000The left is already claiming this Broadview Six dismissal was MAGA induced over prosecution, but the facts show the opposite, career prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg (detailed to Senate Dem's under Dick Durbin) was the lead on the grand jury and committed the serious misconduct that forced the case to be dropped. Instead of holding antiICE agitators accountable, prosecutorial vouching, improper ex parte contacts, and hiding grand jury failures led to a complete collapse and her quick termination from the Senate Dem gig. This wasn't Trump admin's doing , it was Dem's connected prosecutors botching the case so badly a federal judge was shocked and the U.S. Attorney had no choice but to dismiss everything. Classic Dem democracy in action,push politically motivated prosecutions, screw up the process, then blame MAGA when it blows up in their faces. This is exactly what Dem democracy looks like ,using the justice system to protect certain activists while undermining public trust when the misconduct gets exposed. Lets hope Sherri gets held accountable.Mon, 25 May 2026 14:11:55 +0000Someone's telling Porkies, Trump says a deal is imminant yet the Iranians are saying no imminent deal. Then we get if a deal is not forthcoming America will deal with them another way. A strongly truth Social media post will appear soon lol.Mon, 25 May 2026 14:09:49 +0000I’ve seen some over reach in my time but suggesting that a foreigner walks into 7-11 and see a paragraph of writing with the word “free” in it and so thinks stuff in the shop is actually free, pretty much takes the biscuit. I couldn’t make this stuff up…..but apparently you can. 👏👏👏👏Mon, 25 May 2026 14:09:01 +0000Mon, 25 May 2026 14:06:44 +0000im new to this , would like to check how can i get Non-Immigrant Visa-O: 90 days ( thai spouse visa) do i need to show them 400k thb in bank now or when i apply in thailand ? thanks!Mon, 25 May 2026 14:05:57 +0000The law protecting turtles in Thailand is real, not "made up".Mon, 25 May 2026 14:04:07 +0000Or something stronger, perhaps?Mon, 25 May 2026 13:59:37 +0000No. Because she's president.Mon, 25 May 2026 13:58:13 +0000lol you can't even sit on a Bus in America without your throat being slashed.

But he was near enough to some basic truth here to warrant an answer. Normally I don't bother for the reasons you outlined. Chopper Higgot tends to have the time and motivation to tackle him/her/them. I've noticed it's a waste of time but then again you can't just leave that kind of tripe totally unchallenged can you? Jonny's not the only culprit on AN either.Mon, 25 May 2026 13:53:29 +0000Look forward to reading about the results of their endeavors.

Quite an impression that that particular nationality is branding itself with throughout Asia.Mon, 25 May 2026 13:50:33 +0000It's too bad that the majority of Trump supporters (and of course Trump himself) have so much difficulty with reading comprehension Refining and distribution typically amount to 15-30%. Taxes.... are NOT the largest portion of the cost of refined petroleum products. Looks like a vigorous swing and miss! The cost of a barrel of refined petroleum products is fundamentally driven by the price of crude oil, which typically accounts for 45% to 60% of the final retail price. The rest of the cost is divided between refining, distribution, and taxes, which vary depending on the specific product and location.Mon, 25 May 2026 13:47:44 +0000More cartoons as evidence from the late, no so great, J6 committe?Mon, 25 May 2026 13:46:56 +0000Maybe it's broken.Mon, 25 May 2026 13:42:41 +0000I have no messiah.
