Me, I'm the proud possessor of a wry smile.. The event you refer to is 1 of 7 closely related matters in New York - 6 more to be dealt with. It was a summary judgement - meaning no trial was needed, the evidence was enough for the judge to make the finding. There is an order to revoke/cancel or otherwise discontinue the Business Operating Certificates of the New York Trump Org companies. "Oops!" Said the Orange Man to the mirror. A Trump Lawyer was sanctioned $6,500 ish, the Judicial equivalent of shooting your Baseball Pitcher in the buttock with a Spear Gun. for a good read https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/27/trump-new-york-real-estate-reaction-fraud an excerpt: “Donald Trump is no longer in business,” David Cay Johnston, author of the Trump-themed book The Big Cheat, wrote in DC Report. “Barring a highly unlikely reversal by an appeals court, Trump’s business assets eventually will be liquidated since he cannot operate them without a business license. The various properties are likely to be sold at fire sale prices and certainly not for top dollar when liquidation begins, probably after all appeals are exhausted. “I give Trump’s chances of prevailing on appeal at somewhere between zero and nothing except perhaps on some minor procedural point, which you can be sure Trump will describe as complete vindication.” Joyce Vance, a retired US attorney and University of Alabama law school professor, called Engoron’s ruling “justice”. “This is New York’s corporate death penalty, applied to Trump because of years of misconduct,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

A temple in Nonthaburi province has agreed to delay its plan to pull down dead Yang trees (Dipterocarpus alatus) in its compound, after 12 Alexandrine parakeets were found nesting there. Phra Mahacheep Suthiyano, abbot of Madua Temple, said that they wanted to cut the trees down because they had died more than ten years ago and the branches occasionally fall down, causing damage to property. The temple, however, agreed to the conservation of the parakeets, which are breeding in the hollows in the trees, he said... https://www.thaipbsworld.com/alexandrine-parakeets-in-nonthaburi-temple-saved/ inevitably: Can eat?

Anchorage 2023 This movie struck a chord with me. Its unusual, in that it is shot, almost entirely on two characters, with any others, having a very fleeting screen appearance. Don't write it off as "a couple tattooed freaks do a road trip". No spoilers. Stick with it, well worth it in my opinion. Should get gongs.

This is how society remembers the '70s This is how I remember the 70's I have yet to find a photo, of how I remember the Thermae in the '90s It doesn't do it justice, but there's there this one:

Thanks Kiwi, a sad tale and one that shows true friendship. It reminds me of the blokes who've gone, who were my friends. An aphorism, sourced from the cult of the sky fairies, is apt at this point: " There but for the hand of God, go you or I "

... the military seize power. They ban modern art, popular music, avant-garde novelists, modern mathematics, classic and modern philosophers and the use of the term "Ζ" (Greek: zíta, or Greek: zi, which is used by protesters against the former government), which refers to the deputy and means "He lives." 30 : all

The right-wing, military-dominated government of an unnamed Mediterranean state. 15 : all your serve...

Gay as fruit, fashionista, festal, a fairground?

I stand corrected, though my view of people who will use stunts, to further their career, has not changed. And the husband is, still, receiving sympathy from the male half of the planet, ± a few.

How ever you dress this story, the mother is an Attention Whore, the husband is receiving sympathy from the male half of the planet.

Sounds like me. After months and months of observation, I'm now using SkyScanner with alerts to let me know what's available and will book with the appropriate airline direct when I decide on dates. And vis the wife and living arrangements, sounds like you're doing what MLG and I intend to do. She likes NZ, I like Laos, so we'll be back and forth cupla times a year, hopefully with the airfares staying at ~1,000 NZD AKL-BKK. I can’t get health insurance in Laos because of preexisting conditions (ex-stroke, cancer and Afib, 63) So - treatment in NZ, holiday for months in Laos, rinse and repeat, side trips to Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, etc as the airfares allow.

We enjoyed your posts and I for one, am looking forward to more, even non monger, daily observations, as befit, gentlemen of our outlook

"gutless" do you mean girls?

A medieval representation of a couple of us heading out to a Nana Plaza/Thai360 meeting. Amazing how prescient the Middle Ages' thinkers were.

Wot yer reckon Immigration would feel, about you and several other old Farangs turning up, with hip flasks and or bottles of orange juice, then spending several hours socialising?

very kind of you and after 11 hours to think about it, I am somewhat relieved to find I exist in real life.

I've always found Kong to be pleasant chap with his "grumpiness" fun to lob little stones at, very amusing. MPiH on the other hand, pings around, like scalded cat inside a whiskey barrel, most interesting. And both, are excellent company for as you say, watching "the Soi unfold as we have done in the past after a late lunch". Should someone be moved to comment on my personality, I'd be surprised, I'm not sure I have a personality, excepting as, Juan Antonio Miranda Vera Crusta De La Hoya Cardinales. This my monger name and my answer to the young ladies oft proffered "What you name?"

Dad jokes.... OK... and I'll be the first, those aren't mandarins they're oranges, in fact they're almost yellows

Yes, too many times... Good writing Mr Nasiadai.

- just resting.

Ask them for their email address?

when ya hooked ya hooked cut the cord I got the shits back in the early '90s when google and others algorithms, were revealed as heavily disposed towards, "Popularity = Truth" And so it fails.
