Starting yesterday already with preparations for tonight's NYE dinner:

Looking around for getting some good potatoes for the potato salad: Jungceylon full-next to Carrefour, potatoes rubbish. Back to Jungceylon,ok.

Going home and boiling potatoes, making some sauces for the lobsters. Peeling onions and garlic. Getting up early this morning:...not enough glasses. Picking up y ordered baguettes from the belgium bakery.

(Found some glasses in Makro and some more bowls)

Home again: Peeling potatoes and making the potato salad, prepared and marinated lobsters, cleaned and marinated the fillet, cooked the custard base for the strawberry dessert, making basamic dressing, cleaned, sliced and sugared strawberries etc etc.

Some pics:

Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · yesterday at 10:15 AM1 day

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

Alan Zweibel · 21 hours ago21 hr

Joe Kent, one of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies. Here is his resignation letter in full. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/dea3cbf97dbfb39c/1/output-1.png https://archive.ph/R2vUr I may not like his principles, but at least unlike most rightwingers who post here, he doesn't believe that MAGA is Trump an

As predicted, this IS going to be a massive problem for Expats hoping to fly back for home visits. I've read often that the supply of aviation fuel was likely to be the big problem, and here it is.

Similarities of the Roman and US empires?

connda · 24 minutes ago24 min

Tacitus's Agricola (De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae) is a short biographical work written around 98 CE, shortly after the death of Emperor Domitian. It serves as a eulogy and tribute to the author's father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola (40–93 CE), a Roman general and governor of Britain. It critiques imperial tyranny, the moral costs of empire, and yet how good men can serve Rome honorably even under bad emperors. Many themes could be transposed with the current US empire without any loss o

The anti-semitism card lost it allure long ago I have no problem with Jews just rabid Zionists peppering arguments with Nazi whenever it suits them and BTW canonical Godwin's Law says you have just lost the argument but as someone who probably doesn't respect international law I suspect you don't care. Take him down to the cells officer and remove his belt and shoelaces - we wouldn't want him doing an Epstein.

bannork replied to bannork's topic in The War in Israel

Judging by the number of demonstrations in the Western world over the last year, it appears a lot of people are disgusted by the Israeli government. That doesn't mean everyone, including people here, hate all Israeli people or jews worldwide. To despise the Israeli government and its murderous policies is not a sign of antisemitism, it's a sign of revulsion at barbaric violence against innocent people.

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 9 hours ago9 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 19 hours ago19 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi
