He was on an "O" Visa which he converted to a 12 month Retir...

Great video....familiar with most places there. Couldn't help but notice the complete disregard for the 1.5metre social distancing laws. Signs everywhere but no one give a fug. Correct and not many masks in view either Many years ago, in the late 80's years ago, I lived at Mount Ommaney, Brisbane a...

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any meaningful contribution from the EU and UN. Their track record speaks for itself in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995), Rwanda (1994) and to a certain extent in Sudan (2003). Just a highly paid group of jumped up, "Nobodies", who do very liitle. https://eeas.euro...

I learned the hard way KP and if some older members or have friends with similar symptoms don't ignore it even if your Angio or Echogram come back possitive at least your mind can rest.

Pip, the ones near the top echelons of both parties are pretty horrible from an ethics point of view. Albo is a pleasant exception. I would agree that their are a lot more on both sides that deserve to be thrown under a Bus or thrown on a Boat \:D/ The Australian shame is, that they (Those in Polit...

Obviously for a number of reasons we choose to retire to Countries other than where we were born. :-k :-k It would appear that the most prominent reasons that drive us to these distant places are; 1. Lifestyle in that choice of retirement destination 2. Financial cost of living overseas as opposed t...

The World and not just Thailand, will be a different place from now on, with all sorts of Covid-19 related Apps being part of the future norm, introduced by Governments, for arguably various reasons.

Nowhere to really post this, so here will do Had two friends (one Brit and one Canadian) who recently when through getting their Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine jabs.

^ okay, thanks for explaining what you meant. However, I’m still not sure why there was a need to refer to a cumulative total. Surely every single sport or event where there is such an incident it could be said sadly the number of fatalities continues to grow? I guess respectfully I’ll have to cont...
