    • Remember Shakespeare in Love, a movie full of wonderfully dazzling wit and charm? Its writer, Sir Tom Stoppard sadly died yesterday aged 88. I can recall seeing his very first play Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, an amazingly brilliant concept of what goes on offstage during a performance of Hamlet. It has one near iconic line, "Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else." He had first tried his hand at journalism and then theatre criticism before turning to writing. His body of work for film, TV and radio was hugely impressive. He won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, as well as five Tony Awards in the USA and three Olivier Award in the UK. Other screenplays included John Le Carre's The Russia House and Terry Gilliam's Brazil. He also assisted other writers of screenplays by adding sparkle to their scripts, often without acknowledgement. These included Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the Star Wars episode Revenge of the Sith. Steven Spielberg even consulted him on Schindler's List. His writing was witty and playful, he took ideas seriously and delighted in philsophical and political argument.  Among those who mourn his passing is Sir Mick Jagger who wrote on X hat he was "a giant of the theatre. He leaves us with a majestic body of intellectual and amusing work. I will always miss him." Lyricist Sir Tim Rice wrote he "is in awe of nearly everything" Sir Tom did, adding "He's written at least half a dozen, probably twice that, plays that will live for a long, long time – however brilliant plays are, a lot of them don't last long beyond their era, but I think Tom Stoppard's will, no question." The National Theatre called his contribution to British Theatre "simply immense". Born in Czechosolvakia, he was Jewish and fled to the uK after the Nazi invasion. All four of his grandparents died in the holocaust. London's West End Theatres will dim their lights for two minutes at 7:00pm on December 2 as a mark of respect. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74xe49q7vlo
    • Kau Cobra lives in Sao Paulo. He wasn't super easy to arrange a meeting with, but certainly not impossible. He's straight, nice guy. I barely remember the sex with him other than he did get it hard without much effort, so it wasnt particularly great or bad. In Brazil, the client calls (and hence pays) the Uber. It can be frustrating (and time-wasting) when the guy has trouble finding the Uber, but it does have some advantages (you know exactly to what extent he's "on his way"). It can be an  "confidence building" idea in lieu of a partial prepayment?
    • If you are flying on an Airbus A319, A320, A321 you may need to be prepared for a slight delay in departure. On October 30 a JetBlue A320 from Cancun to Newark experienced a sudden uncontrolled dive. The pilots made a safe landing in Florida. The cause of the dive was discovered to be intense solar flares which may corrupt data critical to the functioning of the flight controls. Although it is believed to be the first time this problem has been discovered in the long history of the Airbus fleet, immediately a notice went out that 6,000 aircraft have to be quickly modified. For over 5,000 of the aircraft, the fix is simple and takes only two hours maintenance time. For roughly 900 older aircraft, new hardware is required and the fix will take longer. An EU Air Worthiness Directive mandated that all affected Airbus planes must be fixed before they can carry passengers again. So far, most airlines have already fixed most of their aircraft which are already flying again. American completed all but 4 of its 209 Airbus planes by Saturday morning. Delta also expected all its Airbus planes to have been fixed by yesterday. In the Asia-Pacific region, it seems only Jetstar has been experiencing major delays with the airline having cancelled 90 flights. The airline expects the required fix to be completed on its aircraft by today. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/28/us/a320-series-fixes
    • The average elevation of Hat Yai is 47 meters. But that no doubt means some parts are closer to sea level. On the other hand, few cities anywhere can withstand 335 mms of rain in a single day, the more so when it comes on top of continuous rain over several previous days when the ground was already saturated. Total rainfall over the three days culminating in the worst rainfall amounted to 630mm (25 inches). Water flowing down from nearby saturated hills made everything worse. Even in Bangkok drainage in certain parts of the city cannot handle anything that amount of rainfall. It would result in major flooding. 33,000 homes, 5 hospitals, 58 schools and 700 kms of road have been damaged according to Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/weve-lost-everything-how-floods-devastated-one-thailands-largest-cities-2025-11-28/#:~:text="It was all caused by,years%2C resulting in catastrophic floods.
    • As all reports have indicated, with Hong Kong having so many skyscrapers mostly in very densely populated areas, Hong Kong has some of the toughest building codes in the world. Your post should have been directed at contractors who deliberately (I assume) decided to cut corners by not following the codes. Why do you think 11 senior staff from the contractors and their consultants have now been arrested and some likely to be charged with manslaughter?  Since you know so much about building codes and Hong Kong, have they changed since the Chinese assumed control of Hong Kong in 1997?
