  1. Most women are not like this. But they are out there in bigger numbers than ever. The guy who said, 'Hello' discovered what 'white privilege' is....It's the privilege of being the last unprotected species on earth. It's open season on white men outside of those politically castrated and still of uni age. The rest are attacked with impunity by everyone, including left leaning white women and everybody else who enjoy PC protection. You could see 'shirtless guy' just didn't know what was going on or how to respond. He turns to a woman for help and is waved away. I'm sympathetic, lacking a 's
  2. Not many people realise that Normandy in France was named after the settled 'Norseman' immigrant population and the Norse rulers of that area of France. They got about those Vikings!
  3. Wow that is a hit.........So you have $30,000 of your own money...probably earning 4 fifths of 5 eighths of fuck all in interest and your going to lose $5000??? I'm not doubting your word but that does not seem possible !!!! How do they justify ripping you by over 16%...???
  4. Most of us already pay a price to live here. We can chose to pay that price or, if it's better in balance to return home then we can do so. I hope that any changes that may come are not too onerous for Americans......If it helps then perhaps weigh those changes against the years of relative advantages Americans have enjoyed.
  5. I have a will in both countries. I think it's important for anyone living here to ensure that. Americans, I understand do not have to show proof of their pensions being taken at they word. .......Brits must.... For us it can be a little laborious in that: original documents have to be forwarded here, taken to and and shown to the British embassy for them to write a verification letter to the Thai Immigration authorities. If the pension amount is tight then being subject to exchange rate fluctuations alterations it can dip under thresholds .... Also on occasion, the net amount is used o
  6. I've been doing it for 11 years.......Why shouldn't others?????????????????
  7. Just returned from Memorial. A friend came off his bicycle at high speed yesterday. He was flat out at about 32kms when a pick up joined the path he was on...... from another cycle path!! 4 ribs done and ligaments detached in his shoulder! Faces an op' this afternoon 250,000 baht already ... I’m assuming that includes the coming op'. My mate loves cycling and it’s kept him super fit. Accidents happen..... some worse just slipping in the shower. My point is ......pick ups should not be using cycle paths. To all you cyclists ‘expect that they will’
  8. Yesterday's speech by Boris.....(up on youtube today).....demonstrates clearly that the central issue is our sovereignty ...........This is a wonderful opportunity.
  9. I agree.........For anyone to state 'it's not a political issue' why then are the politicians involved? We joined an economic area.....but the EU has become a political endeavour and that's the central problem. If it was currently a purely legal and economic issue it would have been sorted to everyone's benefit ages ago by economist and lawyers......It's the political agendas that have muddied the waters. The problems are 90% political. I also agree that no one knows what will happen in the end. I have faith it will end in a deal where no one gets everything they want but a compromise
  10. Not a troll post at all dont be so condescending. Just a different point of view. I happen to think The UKs sovereignty is very important. Worth any cost incurred. I dont believe extreme costs will be incurred. Both sides have too much to lose. A deal will be done.
  11. The EU is talking tough.....They are allowed to. They will talk tougher.....But we are allowed to be tough as well. I believe it will get more scary.......It's important our politicians hold their nerve. I understand the EU wants to hurt us.....but they won't want to be hurt back. Stop our planes we'll stop theirs. Everything they do we have a harmful reply.
  12. Well odd bodkins and stab me vitals.....!! I was very surprised to see that on the World rankings going into the Ryder Cup.........15 of the world's to 30 golfers were American and only 9 from Europe. Also 3 out of the 4 majors were won by Reed and Koepka. Here's the money list.........Just 1 European in it. 8 Americans and an Aussie. Rank Player Country Events Prize money ($) 1 Justin Thomas United States 23 8,694,821 2 Dustin Johnson United States 20 8,457,352 3 Justin Rose England 18 8,130,678 4 Bryson DeChambeau United States 26 8,094,489. 5 Brooks Koepka United Stat
  13. Im not sure if Americans invented the game or TV for that matter but....But yes golf as a spectator sport undoubtedly owes a lot to America.. And as you say they have popularised it too ....5 Americans play the game for every European it seems. Im out at the moment but when I've time.... or perhaps 'Jonpat' you could check for me how many of the worlds top 30 players were in the Us team and how that compares to the European team?? Also how many of this year's world majors were won by Americans compared to European? I wouldnt be surprised given the result if it was many more European players
  14. I bet a lot of the European golfers had their golf skills sharpened in US colleges...and owe the US a debt for that. Haven't checked 'cause who cares! but Rham who's Spanish sounds very American. I know Luke Donald had a scholarship there...... Bet'cha a lot of Asian golfers owe their success to US colleges too.
  15. Cant do the stats that way......... Go on players in Europe and players in US.........You might be very surprised. Europe 2016 Reg Golfers 4.19 million USA 2016 Reg Golfers 24 million
  16. The Ryder Cup is a great competition and makes good TV.....even though I don't particular care which side wins. Since Luke Donald finished up I don't have a hero to follow......Just enjoy the ebb and flow....though mostly 'ebb' this time around. Having said that I quite like watching 'The Postman' over perform and deliver. Noticed a post from me just above from the last Ryder cup....Regarding Mickelson's public criticism of Watson.. I'd forgotten about it and didn't shake my fist at Mickelson this time. I didn't need to..... he isn't the player he used to be. Felt sorry for him. Notice
  17. They've agreed to another FBI investigation...........The Dems know this can't have any other effect than to delay.........But it's unlikely to delay until the mid-terms......So I'm worried what they are really up to. And on the subject of the FBI......they're 'civil servants'.....We now see the truth in Churchill's words.......'After a time, civil servants tend to become no longer servants and no longer civil.'
  18. They will have to shoot a film called... “Planet of The Senators “ Really the Democrats have been vile throughout .
  19. The National Health is still wonderful but it's in a 'catch 22' situation. It's maintained by many that without immigration it wouldn't have the staff and couldn't function..........But no one's got the intestinal fortitude to point out that it's the enormous influx in numbers of immigrants and the large proportion of those immigrants that are 'deadbeat abusers' that strain the NHS to rupture. Theres a question possibly answered with a simple calculation. No one will ever know the answer to this coming question because it can never be asked: How would the NHS be functioning with pre Bl
  20. I invite you to look at Regyai's 'content' you'll see this turns up very early, 'historically' ......actually 2nd post I looked at.........'Scouring' suggests rather more effort and that wasn't the case. We all embark on tangents from time to time. This post being a case in point. (The mods will be along shortly)......Nothing to be ashamed of or to issue puerile and fallacious denials about. Just as you thought 'Simplelife's question was an, 'invitation for derision' I thought your put-down of Yorta was high-handed, but also unlikely to be honest....... Others can make up their
  21. Regyai's claim: 'Regyai, on 19 Sept 2018 - 4:52 PM, said: Going off tangentially to what was written? errr not since early junior school I'm afraid.' Out of pure curiosity I looked at Regyai's content......... Below is the 2nd post of his I viewed ....... Simplelife's simple question: Regyai's helpful and according to him non-tangential reply.
  22. Although I personally think that the early replies, (at least), contained very useful information for Saltybasterd he ignored that and quickly became irritated that his specifics, which were best addressed in advice on here such as, 'Ask a bar girl with a bike for such help'..... were not exactly the answer that he wanted and therefore not good enough. Perhaps Google would have been a useful place to start. People were trying to be helpful. There were also comments about the oddness of the request...ie an hour-and-a-half just engaging the clutch and stopping. I'll count myself as
  23. Well Salty' no need to CLUTCH at your pearls......you've already got 'FRICTION' covered here.........Getting close to 'THROTTLE' too. The advice, (at least initially), that I and others gave you was kindly meant. Although I find a palliative power in your short-tempered bewilderment ......... I believe a sensitive re-reading by you of the help offered, especially regarding insurance matters would still be of benefit. Good luck.
