Is Earth round or flat❓
It was not denied but skeptically questioned as far as I know. A 24-hour Antarctic Sun can be explained on a fixed, level plane, as explained by this guy for example: -

Tottenham Hotspurs - premier league 24/25
Stop whingeing. My team were Champions for the past four years, and were 6th or 7th last week. A couple of wins this last week have pushed them up a couple of places. A good win from arch-rivals Utd would be nice today ! Cheers. -

Why Are Motorcycles Prohibited on Expressways in Thailand?
One of the few good things about traffic laws here is that motorcycles are not allowed on motorways. As someone has already said, it would just add to the carnage if they were! -

Does your Thai wife or girlfriend ever foot the bill?
Bob is probably not even in Thailand. He gets some of the Thai sunshine by posting here. -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
I always marvel at how well Burmese women can balance items on their heads. Years ago, my school in Yangon had a special race on sports day for all the female admin staff to run while balancing a large bunch of bananas on their heads (no hands allowed)! I was amazed at how fast they could run without dropping the bananas. Anyway, today being Sunday and not too hot, I decided to walk from my hotel to the palace and moat, then up and down Mandalay Hill (all the way to the top pagoda), around the moat on all 4 sides, and then back to my hotel via the food shops. It was about 16 Km in total, but a very nice walk. Near Mandalay hill, there were various oxen carts with Burmese women and their offspring dressed up in beautiful clothes. They were happy for me to take some photos. Then the procession of carts set off along the road, with Burmese music playing. As I slowly climbed the 1,729 steps up to the top of the hill, (and then the same down again!), I could hear this music becoming more faint, to be replaced by the Buddhist chanting of a group of women who were praying at a pagoda hall about halfway up the hill. All in all, it was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning 🙂 I made my way to the Ocean food mall at Diamond Plaza. One issue that I have about food in Myanmar is that a lot of the food is not really very healthy! I like to eat fresh salads, but I'd need to buy the vegetables and prepare the salad myself. This means that those vegetables are somewhat 'withered' after a few days. No muesli either for breakfast. I tend to survive on fresh fruit and Shan noodle salad, but I don't think it's ideal in the long-term...- 1

That'd what Biden called me too. Another stupid old man. -
