Prostate cancer options
Yes, it's important to consider the worst case scenario and what your options are. I went through all of this, allayed my fears, identified a path that I preferred to go down that seemed the best for my future health. It was a big shock (and happy present) when the NHS nurse phoned me late on a Friday evening to say that no cancer cells were found 🙂 -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Provided that they - and only they - could access it, of course. Otherwise the risk would be that the BS nonsense they keep spouting on here could mistakenly be construed by some who might still come to the whole topic cold as representing any semblance of accuracy! -

Trump Goes Full Racist
The point is the OP is not running for president. The lying, grifting, misogynistic, racist, sexual abuser, cheater, traitorous, mentally deteriorating, orange dirtbag is expected to have more intelligence. -

Why Are You Even Here? The Surprising Attitudes of Some Expats in Thailand
I replay it again and again still can't tell the difference (30 years of trying) between the tone of the Thai girl and the foreigner.... what is highly amusing and makes me laugh is the other word that is not rice/white Mary Whitehouse and "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" are turning in their graves 😋 -

Worst Joke Ever 2024
You need AI mate: I'd be happy to explain the joke! This is a play on words that relies on some knowledge of physics and Latin terminology. Here's the breakdown: Pendula: The plural form of "pendulum," a physical device that swings back and forth in a regular motion. Sat on our ba: This is a play on words that sounds like "sine and cosine," which are mathematical functions that describe the motion of a pendulum. Doing our sa: This is another play on words that sounds like "tangent," another mathematical function that is related to sine and cosine. So, the joke is that the student is using the words "sat on our ba" and "doing our sa" as a pun for "sine, cosine, and tangent," which are all related to the motion of a pendulum. It's a clever and nerdy joke that would likely make physics enthusiasts chuckle! -

Teamsters’ Neutral Stance: A Blow to Harris and a Challenge for Trump
Does that bother you, annoy you, or what? LOL In the mean time down yonder in AZ, it seems the Border Patrol Union unanimously endorsed Trump for president saying "Trump's the only one who can fix the problems at the border...". Of course he is, he already put the border under strict control starting in 2016 and he will do it again. The cackling retard phenom stated back in 2022 that the border was secure and on the campaign now she claims she will fix the border if you elect her. She's gaslighting and outright lying and trying ANTHING now in desperation even trying to cast blame for the border security and resulting national security crisis on Trump. I said once. and again, the cackling word salad queen is both an imbecile and a consummate fraud and fake. Kamala's secure & unsecured border versions -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
The sad facts are that after a protracted incursion into Ukrainian territory by Russia on the grounds of pre-emptive protection of Russian territory etc etc that despite the very positive headlines above that Ukraine continues to lose ground and the military supply industry and territorial claim agents gain by the lucrative inch ! Prepare for the least outcome for the majority. Take some solace in that that outcome will not favor the instigators either. -

Why Are You Even Here? The Surprising Attitudes of Some Expats in Thailand
Nah , knowledge is power in my book. and denying ones self the ability to understand what is being said puts one at a huge disadvantage. Nobody needs to fool themselves that they are perfect fluent speakers on a par with the natives. that is never going to happen but it is not that difficult to advance a bit further than sawasdee khrap The tones can be confusing for us , probably just as confusing for a Thai when the stuttering foreigner keeps repeating just one word and his tone changes in line with his frustration. Its not hard to build a vocabulary with the tones learnt parrot fashion, and adding a few more words can help bring a bit of context into what one is trying to say every little helps I never take much notice of what Ex pats say , and certainly would not let them influence any decisions I make. In my opinion that guy gave you very bad advice The Thais do indeed talk a lot of khrapp to each other , its actually amazing that they can talk so much but say so little , but they are not that much different to any other nation. They may well talk about us, why wouldn't they, but they are a lot less likely to do so if they think we understand what they are saying , a few words in Thai to them quickly stops any of that, The one overwhelming reason to learn Thai for all expats is to take away a bit of control from the missis, and its always handy to know what the family is up to. It also builds ones self confidence and help one function in society as a man again, as opposed to an overgrown illiterate retarded mummys boy, with a wife who has assumed the role of carer For me its a no brainer and I struggle to understand those who simply refuse to try, there may be tones but the grammar is much simpler than english no need to memorise all those irregular verb conjugations not to mention all the obscure tenses that exist in english -

Elderly Woman Dies After Electricity Cut Despite Pleas for Aid
In a tragic turn of events, a 68-year-old bedridden woman, Kian Leephon, from Nakhon Phanom's Wang Yang district died after her electricity supply was cut, despite her niece's desperate pleas. The power outage, caused by overdue payments, disabled Kian’s oxygen concentrator, essential for her survival. On 1st October, a private firm arrived around 9am with a Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) order to disconnect power due to unpaid bills. Kian’s niece begged them to wait, promising swift payment, but the officials proceeded, cutting off electricity at 9.20am. By 11.49am, after the niece paid, power was restored, but the delay proved fatal for Kian. PEA regulations usually provide leeway for households with medical dependencies, though it was discovered Kian's residence wasn’t registered for these exceptions. PEA expressed condolences, attributing the cut to protocol adherence. Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has launched an investigation and urged awareness of protections for vulnerable users. Registration requirements for families with such medical needs have been clarified to prevent recurrence. Kian’s niece expressed overwhelming grief and disbelief, questioning the compassion shown by the working staff during the ordeal. File photo for reference only -- 2024-10-14
