Yes, he is 81 and he is on an non O so the O-A is a non-starter.

Looks a bit like jumping on a popular bandwagon to me, he has years to do this but decides now is the time🤔

Never bought anything but I love the ads I get on my phone, gorgeous looking girls in undies.... 😁

We are a 5 minute walk away. They have very strong wifi.... And no customers to use it..so we sometimes walk over. Most of the traders have gone now, especially on the IT and phone levels. Lots of attractions for young kids but they also seem deserted

Sitting in the lounge room in AC, as I have for the last 99 days! Should have been back in Pattaya a month ago but that wont happen for a while. Serious restrictions here, not even allowed a pillion on a motorbike, under 21 and over 59 can only go out for food or urgent reasons. Bored sh... less. -
The bike I learnt on (pic from internet). Aerial square 4, 1,000cc ex police bike. Belonged to a mate who taught me to ride and I bought it from him. I was fortunate to have another mate in the 60's and 70's who managed a bike shop. Got to ride, and own lots of bikes but nothing like the rockets around these days!

Used them in Vietnam quite a bit, also without problems.

I went to School 18 and then decided not to visit the killing fields. As you say a depressing day

"They won't even accept the hard work done by Tommy Dee stating that the people waiting hours in line for free food handouts I think his great work has been pretty much ignored by the Thai media If it wasnt then they would most likely credit the government anyway

Make sure you take an extra $3,000 if you're going to Cambodia

We have our own permantly rented accom so I wouldnt go and pay again with no say on where I stay and how much. The cost of this insurance at my age of 74 would not be cheap either. Hope to be back mid October but not with these restrictions. -
I count myself very lucky. At 74 I have no real health issues, Glaucoma in one eye, skin cancers from sun at a young age is about it. Never smoked and drink very little but slightly overweight. Didn't play much sport so the body parts havn't worn out... YET. I noticed myself slowing down a bit after 70 but having a lovely, much younger partner does me a lot of good. We still travel a lot and I do notice that it tires me more now but the experience is worth it. Oh, to get back to it!!

GF and I are in the Philippines, a much poorer country. Her family in Manila received 8k pesos each month from the government and as well as the cash the local Barangays are distributing food parcels every week. Same here in Angeles. I have no doubt some is creamed off by the politicans but it is getting thru

Having a drink in Puys bar in New Plaza. Good music and no fewer customers than our last visit 3 months ago -
Basically the idea of a DLD is that a bottled drink will last longer, so she spends more time with you and that costs more. Buying a SLD is a good idea initially as was said. Do your interview and either move on or pay the BF

We went there just before Christmas . Caught the express bus from KL Central, tho had to book a few days before as very busy. Only short trip to get there but very overcast so no views at all. Then rode the cable car to the top, huge queues but well managed. I am too old to appreciate most of the rides and many of the shops are also in other KL malls, Pavillion etc lots of great high tech on display tho, huge screens, lighting I wouldnt go back but it was a pleasant day out.
