Another example of the way the press, and social media can twist facts. Unfortunately, it was ever thus!

OK, thanks!

Agree, they are human beings, after all!

The website seems to be down?

Swedes aren't great either.

Bit odd this. A frigate is surely capable of handling bad weather; 6 metre waves are high, but much worse conditions in the Atlantic, etc. I suspect there is more to this.

Refusing a bribe, in Thailand? Surely a first!

I agree.

PS. I just texted my pensions advisor, a query. I got an out of office, which gave 3 colleagues who could deal with my query. They were automatically sent my message, and my query was dealt with the same day.

In UK, you cannot deduct any real estate taxes! Mind you, they are a lot lower than parts of the US.

Fair enough!

Plenty of former soviet union countries, I think? Ta Uzbekistan?

Sorry!

OK. Bit easier in the UK. Most done online.

You won't have much luck with Tawan, it's closed. Police issues.

Impaling seems to be the new fashion....

Thanks. I did mention boys, but they are not at as much risk from the bathroom floor as I am! Balance goes down as I get older!

Hungary?

Sack them!

In the Meredien the bathroom is really swish, his and hers double shower. The shower has non slip floor, but as you emerge into the bathroom proper, with or without your boy, the floor is a skating rink! I need the 2 bathmats, to be safe!

Good to know!

I note an anti semitic theme here, which I do not think is helpful.

Or Nepal!

Some supermarkets in the UK, are moving away from Automatic check outs to 'people' checkouts, as there is a feeling that we need more personal interaction. I can see that, though I personally prefer Automatic checkouts! Faster, etc.

I went a lot in the old days, when they were in skimpy briefs, and lots of action at the tables. Not so good now!
