Just as well Richard Nixon didn't have some drama queens such as Fox News batting for him.

My oldest step-daughter chucked in a good job in Bangkok to help care for her grandmother (who I mentioned earlier) for a few months on the family farm. I wasn't happy as I was concerned how easily she would find another good job. I'd arbitrarily say "good" is over 35,000 baht a month. In the past s...

10,000 kms. As jai yen yen says, Stickman covers way more than just the bars. It would be a bit of a yawn for me if he was just writing about the bars.

Quite a few Thais seem to me to be in paid work more than 5 days a week. In other words, they need or are required to work Saturdays too. They also look after the elderly in their own homes. This can be very onerous. My 93 year old mother-in-law broke her hip and leg earlier this year. It looked lik...

I wasn't sure where you were taking us. I see it's familiar ground.

I rarely look at Thai Visa but I read Stickman's column almost every week. It covers a lot of ground.

The New Zealand Blood Service also doesn't accept blood donations from people who have lived in the United Kingdom, France or the Republic of Ireland between 1980 and 1996 for a cumulative 6 months or more. This ban might be widespread in developed countries. I have a now 12 year old step-grandson w...

Is there some video somewhere of what he did? The link didn't seem to have it. I started watching something on youtube but then realized the video wasn't it.

Coxo? Sneaky. "Cardinal George Pell will on Wednesday find out if he has reached the end of the road in fighting his conviction for historical child sexual abuse offences, when the high court decides whether it will grant his legal team special leave to appeal for a final time." https://www.theguard...

What’s the difference between anal and oral sex?

Oral sex makes your day. Anal makes your hole weak.

Hopefully you're copying and pasting from the internet 747man. Readers would be hoping one of our more popular posters isn't posting from personal experience.

Hopefully the scroat is caught quickly. Possibly a meth-head.

There's an interesting video in the link. I suppose the female cashiers responded as their employer instructed.

It seems a smart move by Farage.

I doubt the EU's patience would run for 11 years. I predict they'll throw the UK out next year unless there's a chance the UK might decide not to leave. It's not just Brits who are tiring of the gridlock in Westminster.

Yes, I haven't forgotten he once had a piece of coal with him in the Aussie parliament. The Deputy PM is perhaps even more of a dinosaur on climate issues.

The language used with the current fire dangers in Oz is really frightening.

I'm enjoying the "OK boomer" line we are increasingly hearing or reading in public discourse. :lol: I'm enjoying it too! After all the names millennials have had thrown at them for the last few years (entitled, lazy, needy, luvvies, fluffies, crybabies, snowflakes etc.) I think they're showing a re...

sorry for butting again, but I made a statement re 26 weeks on and off, and must correct myself for those, if any ,who took some heed from my words. It appears that one may apply to a special NZ pension committee for ones ' Portability ' of pension, if wanting to live in Thailand all year round..if...

That doesn't sound much fun. Why not try picking up some part-time work? You might enjoy it.

As he is partial to a bit of liquid refreshment and doesnt drink & drive, he cant live in Scunny anymore as there is a serious shortage of cabbies due to them all emigrating with their ill gotten gains

Ill gotten? I imagine they have to put up with some dreadful people in the back of their cabs.

Thanks for the clarification. It seems to me that it isn't just Trump going on trial. The US Senate and Constitution itself are also on trial. The system at this stage looks hopelessly broken.
