"Can Eat" hahahaha - I have photos of when the family first arrived in Oz, went to a nice park and I was showing them the view but no one was replying, turned around to see them trying to corner a large goanna for lunch

A couple more for the movies list It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds. UNLESS it’s the door to a burning building with a child inside All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which will be placed in open brown paper bags. Caveat: when said bags break, only fruit will spill If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. you will always find another one Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don’t mind at all what the girl does for a living. It is not necessary to say “Hello” or “Goodbye” when beginning a telephone conversation. A disconnected call can always be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying “Hello? Hello?” repeatedly Plain or even ugly girls can become movie-star beautiful simply by removing their glasses and letting their hair down All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her You can always find a chainsaw when you need one. Most musical instruments (especially wind instruments and accordions) can be played without moving your fingers. In Middle America, all gas station attendants have red handkerchiefs hanging out of their back pockets All teen house parties have one of every stereotypical subculture present (even people who aren’t liked and would never get invited to parties).

Warped minds think alike!

KS 2022 post basically sums it up for me. I can't think of a better place for me at the moment, and I've been here over 30 years. Time does fly. Singapore is just too expensive to go back to, I only visit because mum is still alive. Last time I was back I was quite peeved with the amount of Tagalog and mainland mandrin being spoken. The only thing I miss at times if the hawker food. Malaysia and Indonesia are definitely out, even though I speak the language. It's the bumiputras that put me off. Have not explored the Indochinese regions, don't think I ever will. Thailand is still affordable, we own the house, both kids have now finished uni so no major obligations. I have PR here so no major visa hassles. I'm also tired of traveling so am quite content to mosey on over to the 7-11 for a couple of beers to relax with. Still have to deal with some medical issues, but these are also affordable to treat here so am in no hurry to rock the boat. My two baht worth.

That's blardy good! My PET scans came back, clear of cancer, shit hot! But the surgeon (she's a girlie, petite and perspicacious) must have taken a liking to me and has scheduled me for a Lymphadenectomy wherein the remaining Lymph nodes and all associated tubery, will be dissected from right armpit and environs. Yay, general anaesthetic, I like 'em, now that I drink infrequently, very relaxing. Michael Jackson was on to something here.

Upper arm...all clear to date.

My melanoma experience

What is it, a ban on all foreigners Renting a motorcycle or foreigners without a Licence ? In the UK even though 67% of population have a car Licence only 2.5% have a motorcycle licence, wouldn’t surprise me if the ratios were similar in Australia, New Zealand etc, Yet once they land in Tropical climes they all claim to be able to ride a motorcycle
