Do these guys speak english?

That's it ???? He's an embarrassment to govt office and to American Democracy. What's up with these fu*kin GOP GAY politicians (closeted or otherwise) ? I'm talking to YOU Lindsay, Hegseth, Vance and Bessent ! Pretending to be an alpha male WONT secure your political career forever. And its Unfair to your "beards"...

He's an embarrassment to the State of South Carolina

In fact, i did not criticize him. I just mirrored how he comes across.

I just finished watching the movie Close. Like many, including critics, I found tears flowing. The story line is partly explained above, how the often intense and innocent friendships we make in our early years are thrown away as puberty hits us and we try to fit in with a different crowd of older boys and girls. The extraordinary thing about this movie is that the two 13-year old boys who are the main characters had never acted before. One, Eden Dambrine, gives a stunning performance as Leo, one which I consider better than that of Timothee Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name when he was nominated for an Oscar. Eden has the most beautiful large eyes and it is three close-up shots in particular where they fill the screen and we know eactly what he is thinking behind those eyes. The first is when his friend Remi is playing the oboe at a primary school concert. The adoration in those eyes is remarkable. Then, after they have moved to a secondary school and the bullies and the girls have had a go at them about being gay (but that is never explained as fact and they were probably too young at know it at the time) and not fitting in, when Remi is discovered not to be on the bus returning from a field trip to a beach, those eyes betray the horror Leo fears has happened. Finally, whereas the opening shots of the movie have the two boys running together and laughing through fields of beautiful flowers, the final one has Leo alone in those fields a year later. When he turns and faces the camera, we know that while he has grown more into a teenager with other friends and interests, the eyes tell us he still longs for Remi. The blame he long felt and did not acknowledge for pushing Remi away and thus perhaps causing his suicide has finally gone - but not the memories. The vdo below is of the 10-minute ovation given to the movie by the audience when it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. The interesting part, to my thinking, is when the director Lukas Dhont takes a microphone to dedicate the movie to all the friends that he pushed away during his early life. It is very moving, and probably is something we all experienced and indeed is what the movie is basically about. Please just start at 10'00 minutes in. You need only watch for 1'20".

You may be surprised to find 8 or 9 positions apart from actual ticket price, which often is NOT a biggest item on the list

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I never actually read the list of taxes and fees included in the airline ticket....not even on domestic tickets within the US. Perhaps I should start. It makes sense to just roll it into the overall price of a ticket. Makes it easier for the consumer.

Back to the subject of air travel, for anyone sitting on the fence about buying a ticket on Thai Airways International, the company just announced a large increase in the fuel surcharge beginning on May 1st. They say the cost of their fuel has tripled in price. For example, on the Bangkok-London route, the fares will jump from 9,990 to 19,070 baht for economy class, and from 18,680 to 35,750 baht for business class. Buy your ticket in the next couple days, and you will avoid the added fee. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3245719/thai-airways-to-almost-double-fuel-surcharges-this-week

No, he had already checked in a few days before the event.

Besides Trump, Miss Lindsay is the LOUDEST voice and proponent for Trumps Ballroom..... Guess the girl just wants a place where she can put on her ballgown and "twirl her little heart out ?" without THREATS of being shot by "radical left lunatics " ? Miss Lindsay HATES political violence, unless it's in IRAN !

Will Trumps ballroom, that the GOP and MAGA are now pushing for, prevent school kids get shot to death in their classrooms, or parishioners being shot to death in church..... The ballroom is only to protect Trump, and give him a visual sign of Legacy............ American taxpayers should REVOLT. WE want healthcare and gun reform, NOT a mausoleum for Trump . IGNORE GOP's faux outrage over political violence. THEY are the leading PROPONENTS of violence of all kinds.... Republicans MUST be defeated ! They are only Pro-Republican (but only the RICH ones) .... NOT Pro-American. America doesnt stand a chance of survival if Republicans remain in charge..... And that's the "T" !

The relatively small menu of Thai food at Sandbar, near the gay beach, has decent food- my Thai partner rates it and he's fussy- but also a pleasant view of beach road in the evening. You can watch the sun set as you eat your chicken and cashew-nuts! Much of the menu is European and I've not tried any of that. If you are prepared for a longer journey there's Terminus 21; check-out my recent recommendation of Pon's. The other two Thai restaurants nearby are also worth alook.

TRUMP’S LATEST FAKE ASSASSINATION CHARADE Just when Trump approval ratings sink to an all-time low, another sorry ass false flag assassination attempt in desperation on his life to boost him up. What are the odds that his own Press Secretary Katherine Leavitt in an interview just prior to the event “figuratively” states “shots will be fired” at Trump’s very first annual White House Correspondents Dinner, after refusing all four years during his first term. Then Leavitt’s husband tells the woman hosting the event seated next to Trump “make sure you stay safe.” Odds of this married couple each making such off the cuff, very “odd” statements casually mentioning shots fired amidst insinuating an unsafe environment innocently being purely by chance is zero. Add the fact that there were audience guests amidst the ruckus just sat there sipping their wine and eating their appetizers totally undisturbed, as if they too were in on it… as if no real threat that an armed man had just breached the heaviest security checkpoint in the world firing off rounds to get to Trump. All of these glaring anomalies only suspiciously magnify the planned hoax. https://thegovernmentrag.com/articles/trumps-latest-fake-assassination-charade/

Peter, have mercy on yourself. You just proved Keith was right, lol😁

offer him double fare if he gets you to Pattaya under 60 minutes and see what happens

You can't go wrong with The Wine Cellar, aka Poseidon Hotel in the Complex. For Mexican, then the one in the Complex (Buenos Mexico), or a short Bolt / Songthaew is Mike's Mexican. For posh Thai, then May's on Trepprasit Road. Good hearty Italian, then recommend Salotto, on Trappraya Road. Just up from Tinnies Pies, which is a ripper for Aussi tucker. For French, then either Nathan's or Lupins. If you Bolt it over to Pattaya, then La Bordeaux behind Tukcom is worth the journey, about 120THB for the ride, phone ahead if you want the lobster. Also in Pattaya, across the road at the front of Tukcom is Zaab High, which is an Isan resturant. Great food and fantastic price. Careful if you ask for it hot!! For English pub group, then Hemmingways, just outside the Complex on your left on Trappraya Road. For Thai, then CoqTails restaurant at the back of CoqTails bar. Enjoy.

What a nonsense sentence! You misreported me - or are you now saying you didn't? What you said was a stupid!

wow, definitely easy on the eyes

generally it's last thing we need when checking in hotel but in case when such a function is hold in the venue it would make a sense.

Interesting the flood story also appears in Aboriginal stories, as well as the original people's of the Canary Islands, ie pre Spanish.

- for reason explained right above your post - because I can - to quote , what's her name? , Margaret Thatcher , ' it's what friends are for" - to ensure forum appears nice and welcoming place to new visitors -I generally find questionable when people who , say, never visited England voice strong opinions about Stonehenge or Lincoln Cathedral
