Things have changed somewhat since the days if Bertrand Russell!

Once, in Chicago, I fancied a steak. The qaiter asked if I wanted the 12oz, 20oz, or 32oz! I asked if anybody finished the 32oz, he said no! Not sure if they had a resident cardiologist!

Recent for Olddaddy!

My view is that the series was a waste of time. Clearly no research had been done about Thailand, and the role of the BIB. The reporter appeared to be pretty dumb, appearing surprised that guys go to a go go bar for sex, etc. Also that people get drunk at events, and have accidents. Has she not been to her local town on a Saturday night? No enquiry about travel insurance, nothing in depth about problems expats have with residence permits, property issues, etc. It was all that life is basically wonderful. One or two references to some issues, but, in my view, the sort of superficial crap we now see so much of. However, the presenter does take every opportunity to show off her cosmetic surgery, and her dental work!

Allergic to the washing up liquid.

Doesn't even pay that well....

When I was in Florida, some years ago, we asked the Owner of a jewellery store for a recommendation for a good restaurant. He said we were at a disadvantage, as, being British, we had a palate! I would stress that he was American.

Just shows how hopeless these surveys are!

I thought he used gay sites to ask the questions? Sometimes the same question several times!

Warm rain, too!

You can always invite visitors to your room, to examine your stamp collection, or discuss local authority budgets etc!

Looks as if the PFC is back. https://pattayamail.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0bce3e0515d0797a73c960211&id=3847c727cb&e=f4eaf70b70

Sound move. I carry less cash, but in one pocket an out of date credit card. A valid one elsewhere. If robbed, usually the small amount of money should be enough, and they never look at the date on the credit card, so I'm told. The reason for this is that I was told that a robber would expect a foreigner to have a credit card. Happily I've never had to try this scenario for real.

Same happened to me years ago at the Golden Cock!

Don't go near garlic.....

Just to be pedantic, he said 'power tends to corrupt........'

'Please', or 'thanks'?

If you look at the 15M website, and scroll to the masseurs, you are told if they are gay, straight or vers, and details of tips for each is set out. Pages 1 to 4 are almost all straight, pages 5 and 6 gay or vers.

Yes, i realised that. My point was that isn't it appalling that they still voted to keep him? He pleaded guilty to a whole list of felonies, etc.

Unfortunately not. It was a public beach! I was there on business, and I had the weekend off. Great lobster, but I also ended up in the hospital! I still have the sunburn scars that my dermatologist checks every year! I have had 3 bccs, on my face, so I get checked every year. I now use a moisturiser with sunscreen every morning!

Especially on a white sandy beach, where the sun reflects off the sand, as I found out to my cost in Cuba!

Interesting that 114 lawmakers voted to keep him in office!

A fair point, though!

As I understand it, an amendment to the Constitution has to be proposed by a two thirds vote of Congress, and then ratified by three quarters of the States. There is no chance of this happening, unfortunately. Another madness, to add to those set out by @PeterRS, is that the whole of the House of Representatives is elected every two years. So as soon as they finish an election, they are canvassing for the next one. Let alone the happy business of gerrymandering Congressional districts. Yet further, I don't think the founding fathers anticipated the huge population differences now found in the States, when they agreed 2 Senators per State. California has a population of nearly 40 million, Wyoming, 590,000. Both have 2 Senators!

As I mentioned previously, I did not find drugs a Problem in SR when I was last there in January, two guys both good! I am back in November, I hope, and will report.
