thank you for clarification, I was thinking you were trying to offend my friend spoon, lol

who was naïve, believed

Whatever technical niceties are what counts is that early arrival, been there , done that, few times. But as Peter noticed it may work other way around, Last year what was supposed to be 2 hr layover at Narita was reduced to 20 minutes sprint through security (granted, extremely well streamlined by Japanese and Thai jet was waiting for us few conecting passengers ) . I made it to Bangkok but my luggage did not until next day. Nice gesture was that Just before we took off they warned us that fight to Narita will arrive 100 minutes late even if we departed on the dot. Shocking for me was fact that First and Business passengers were also late exactly as much as we humble economizers.

50/50, spoon is not Thai

not quite, there were no American settlers en masse in Japan and no Japanese were enclosed in bantustans in their country

That's the issue there. If Palestine would be independent country and attacked Israel way they did on Oct 7 then world would give Israelis free hand and tell Palestinians 'that's misery your brought upon yourselves". now sympathy is divided and that piece summarizes it neatly

and Doneck People's Republic by just 1

and would bomb Tokyo bay area not some provincial backwaters

this is what wars are about, remind Putin next time you talk to him

And that's the mother of all problems and tragedies in Holy Land. There's no equivalence between prisoner and guard and none between an ass and a whip. Israel has every right to defend itself and avenge it's losses but this will create only relatively short reprieve no matter if they eliminate i.e. kill 3 or 333 Palestinians for every one killed Israeli. Hamas behavior was animal like but Palestinian cause is not.

not waste at all as we can show how belligerent or peace loving we are. helps to regulate blood pressure without cofrfee, hand specially late in the evening

that's not propaganda, that's reality and always had been , losers can't write history because at worst they are dead , at best nobody buys their story because they are, well, losers

change 'lunatic dictators" to " pathetic losers" and we can agree

no, comparison to USA /Japan situation is not good one as it was Japan who attacked USA , not other way around. American war was or at least started as defensive, Russia's is pure imperialistic adventure .................... and again no because closeness of both territories. Radioactive fallout and all that. nuke is not an option, not only because next step is great unknown but also possibility that by time nuked rocket reaches enemy's territory may explode over own or friendly one.

no, they wanted to stop Japanese and they did. I said if they wait week or two more Mother Russia could possibly be richer or Hokkaido

finally voice of reason

I personally can't care less about the issue as I can't envision myself being in bar at 1 am instead of leaving , boy in tow much earlier. What I'm afraid boys may use thet extension to try to extract more drinks before they roll up their sleeves so to speak. But I agree that allowing to open till 4 but prohibiting alcohols sale past 2 is lunatic. Hard to control and easy to circumvent. I'll be much happier if they remove that idiotic 2-5 pm prohibition of alcohol sales even if I learned how to deal with that as well. With 4 am extension peak hour at Foodland Patpong may move from 2 am to 5 and early risers for reduced price breakfast starting at 5.30 may have to fight to a tables with late night crowd.

I noticed it too and wonder if he is feeling well, poor thing

that's exactly what makes it so interesting to wander and put's it apart from Tampere , Finland or Lausanne , Switzerland and the likes , cold , with clean and dry air , quiet, well organized , spacious and unfortunately boring

it seems to me that you both rarely if ever have massage in so called 'regular" place. Not that your furry is misplaced but workers in those know very well what may increase earning potential and also know how to measure customer I may or may not be interested in, I'd say , bit expanded menu. Not referring to Prime as miraculously I survived so far without even going there

I still like my Tawan boys better

that low ? In Thailand ? Perhaps in Chiang Mai but Bangkok ? Certainly not when I was there in Dec 21 and Jan 23

as I said somewhere else even some Thais were let go in the purge

or created an impression he did. In that conflict USA was almost always one sided , exception being Suez Crisis only. Not saying it's wrong, not saying it's right but if I have dispute with you and your friend will offer his service as mediator, chances are solution he offers may not be palatable for me

True but is this any good ? Killing your own people? Bombing was cruel but it helped to finish the war which not USA started. If I was Russian I'd be complaining that Truman was too fast, had he wait bit longer Russia possibly would take over nor only Kuril Islands but also whole Hokkaido and would have Winter Olympics in 1972 instead of waiting for Sochi.
