Will Trump bankrupt the US entirely?
I reread the @spidermike007 post that contained the quote and link. In that post the Spiderman was not out of his lane... He only quoted the wine publication and then provided the link. Personally, I view wine production/consumption as strictly a luxury so I worry much less about that business niche than those dealing in necessities. -

Traffic Foreign Supercar Owners Fined for Flouting Phuket Parking Laws
The cars in the OP photo all look like GT-Rs. Gorgeous cars. Poor man's supercar. But they can be modified to be true performance cars. Not available in the US, and like hen's teeth in Thailand. I've only seen them at shows in LOS, When my (BKK) company sent me on an assignment to work in KL, I shopped for a used one. But the contract ended abruptly so I never did buy one. Had I gotten residence there, I would have. I'm more of a Toyota fan. But for a GT-R, I'd cheat on Toyota. -

Report Forgetful Dentist Leaves Needle in Patient's Gum for 15 Years
Rungnapha worked as an assistant to nurses at a hospital in Buriram. | Photo via Facebook/ Rungnapa Thaingyotha In a tale blending mystery and medicine, a dentist's oversight in Buriram, Isaan province, has astonished both medical professionals and the public. Rungnapha Thaingyotha, a 49-year-old woman, recently discovered a needle embedded in her gum, a relic of dental treatment conducted 15 years ago. The curious incident initially caused alarm due to suspicions of black magic before the truth came to light. Rungnapha took to Facebook to recount her startling discovery. Experiencing persistent gum pain near her lower left molar, she sought treatment, leading to an unexpected revelation. An X-ray performed by a medical team at the hospital where she works identified a steel object lodged in her gum. She underwent surgery to have it removed and shared her unusual experience online, quickly attracting the attention of Thai netizens. Many speculated wildly about the nature of the object, with some suggesting it might have been a fishing tool inadvertently consumed and embedded while eating. However, Rungnapha confirmed this was improbable, given how deeply the object was aligned with her tooth root. The piece was identified as approximately 3 centimetres long, curved, with one end fashioned like a needle. The bizarre nature of the object fuelled speculation about black magic. Though Rungnapha herself was skeptical of such claims, the idea caught fire among social media users, despite her assertion of having no enemies or personal disputes that might cause such a supernatural attack. In search of answers, Channel 7 enlisted insight from Wicharn Dhammachoto, the abbot of Phutthabucha Pa Khok Prasat Temple in Buriram. While acknowledging the oddity of the discovery, the monk expressed doubt about its connection to black magic. He clarified that traditional black magic remnants usually consist of nails, hair, or animal skin, unlike modern items such as needles. As the mystery deepened, Rungnapha recollected a dental visit from 15 years prior at a local clinic where she had a tooth extraction. This realization was corroborated by medical experts at her hospital who identified the object as a needle typically used in dental surgery for sealing wounds. The likely explanation: the dentist had inadvertently left the needle embedded during her previous oral procedure. Despite wishing to hold the errant dentist accountable, Rungnapha faces practical obstacles due to her relocation to another province for work. Fortunately, since the needle's removal, she has experienced no adverse effects or complications. This situation highlights a rare but concerning oversight in dental practice, underscoring the need for thoroughness in dental care and follow-ups. Meanwhile, Rungnapha’s story, though initially shrouded in mystery and folklore, concludes with clarity and a gentle reminder of the importance of professional vigilance in healthcare.

Recent trip to UK with Qatar air- A very sad, heartbreaking visit.
Still need a pound coin for shopping trollies in supermarkets in the UK. Lots of cash machines near the entrances which are beggars' prime locations. Plus, still a few places with coin-op parking meters.
