has it been that long? Bar Staff, Sex Tourists Wait Patiently For White Woman To Get Off Go-Go Stage PATPONG – The staff and patrons of Super Pussy go-go bar had their usual evening’s proceedings interrupted by the sudden decision of a caucasian woman, who no one wanted in the bar in the first place, to climb on stage and briefly pretend to be a go-go dancer, sources report. As of press time, everyone was waiting patiently and politely averting their eyes as Meredith Walsh, a 34-year-old American tourist who had reportedly drank three gin and tonics, tried to shake her large, unwieldy mid-section to the beat of the song “Mambo Number 5” while holding the brass pole in one hand for stability. Meredith’s companion, 36-year-old Bradford Planck, initially cheered Meredith’s show of spontaneity but then settled into a steely gaze of gritted teeth as her exhibition extended into its second excruciating minute. “She’s a good sport about all this sex industry stuff,” he said. “A really, really, good sport.” When asked about unauthorized dancers on stage, the Super Pussy manager “Nat” reiterated the bar’s no-interruption, no-bouncers policy. “No need bouncer here,” Nat said. “Farang man have lot of sex so no more fighting. Farang woman want feel sexy so she dance. When she feel stupid she stop. Make farang man want Thai lady more.” ___

Sounds like the fellows on ThaiVisa - which I now see has rebranded as AseanNow. Dear Bubi, we could be underestimating Mr Punter - vis - "If I ask her for BoomBoom no condom, she will provide one, thereto saving me the price of one condom, being x bht. What a cunning spendthrift I am. But she no have, now she no want boom boom. Officer, come quick I have a crime to report!" etc etc

Ditto I knew a family of Catholics very well, three gorgeous daughters... Father? well that's a novella for another day.

Apparently in the new movie Barbie (I wont watch that one), there is a monologue from a character that is this: "It is literally impossible to be a woman," Gloria says. "You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough... I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." - America Ferrera's "Gloria". And this monologue, is striking a chord and gaining extreme popularity (read viral), amongst the female species across the planet. I think it was Coco Chanel who coined the quote - "Men desire Women, Women desire, that desire". I can re-hash Coco's quote to: Men want naked women. Women want men. Negotiate. Problem solved. futher Wolf of Wall Street - accurate representation of Margo Robbie who plays Barbie in the movie Barbie.

As I get older, people are dropping like flies, but when there is a connection, even 2nd or third hand like this, I get sad. Not something I'd have ever admitted to when younger. But I guess with age, comes not only wisdom, but compassion.

The Caretaker Prime Minister has expressed his concerns about potential political protests this week. The demonstrations, which are expected to draw crowds from both pro and anti-government factions in front of the Parliament Complex, have stirred concerns about possible conflict. According to Minister Attached to the Prime Minister’s Office Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha requested officials to ensure the smooth management of the gatherings. His primary concern is to prevent any faction from breaching the law and to maintain peace, urging everything to proceed according to proper procedures. Addition, Thanakorn stressed that Gen Prayut wished to avoid escalating national tensions. Emphasizing that Thailand has been working hard to achieve stability over the past 8-9 years, the caretaker prime minister called for a peaceful political climate and progressive movement. Concerning the selection of the Prime Minister, which could possibly be extended to a third round, the spokesperson said the premier did not express specific concerns and believes the political processes will unfold as per the parliamentary mechanism. In case the leading party fails, the second or third-ranking parties will form the government. Moreover, Gen Prayut voiced concern over intimidation among some citizens. He said he was apprehensive that such situations could lead to further divisions within the nation and has ordered relevant agencies to monitor and manage the issue closely. Notably, he mentioned the case of a senator who was targeted online, highlighting how these issues often spread further on social media platforms and potentially lead to more disputes and conflicts. The prime minister has tasked the cabinet and related agencies with addressing these concerns promptly. https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/gen-prayut-expresses-concern-over-potential-protests-436227 and Thai Parliament Prevents Leader Of Party That Won Election From Being Renominated For Prime Minister https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/07/19/thai-parliament-pita-from-being-renominated-for-prime-minister/

What you don't know, is that once a person steps foot into, or onto, NZ and the locals accept you, you are a Kiwi. No choice, no argument. Just get on with it.

Yes, normally I run from the ones with coloured hair. But as I say, this one I have a lot of time for. She's NZ's Anthony Fauci.

And the following is derived from an article from stuff.co.nz, linked to, at end. I like the pigeon thing. >>> Peter Hotez, refused to debate a prominent conspiracy theorist politician, US presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. Kennedy, who is well known, for spreading dis-information and conspiracy theories about vaccines, that are simply not true. Debates are a terrible forum for discussing important issues like vaccines, where persuasion and charm are more likely to sway an audience than facts. And that’s assuming it’s just facts that are being shared, and not mistruths and lies. It is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon just knocks over the pieces, craps on the board, and struts around like it won. <<< https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/132538027/the-price-paid-for-standing-up-against-vaccine-misinformation ...in the USA thread because two the referenced folk are from the States and the mis-dis-bullshit-information thing, is not dead and flowed outwards from there.

Yes, I thought so too. Lotsa actor stars, well acted, plot so strong, it blew away at the beginning.

When I see this I wonder, why, in movies that the hero/heroine in a car, feels so threatened, by motorcyclists.

The parliamentary session for the vote of Pita Limjaroenrat as prime minister on July 13 became a platform for discussing amendments to Section 112 of the Criminal Code or Article 112 on the monarchy. The majority of opposition members were senators and MPs of the former ruling coalition. Many declare they are royalists. They specifically accused the Move Forward party of attempting to undermine and dismantle the monarchy by amending Article 112. At the end of the session, Pita could not get enough votes to reach 376 of the bicameral votes. The results of the vote came out with 324 approved, 182 disapproved, and 199 abstained.
