    Odds on a Coup

    Well I reckon that the odds have changed in the last day or so. to 10:1 as in 10=coo & 1=no coo. and soon . Why? I continue to speak tangentially: because the new kids on the block are floating big changes to the rule, that abhors, even mild negative comment, on characters who have appeared in the Adams Family. The Addams Family is a fictional family created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. They originally appeared in a series of 150 unrelated single-panel comics, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between 1938 and their creator's death in 1988
  5. I'm so glad I live in a place where the government pays for healthcare. I must have had 15 or so various, MRI, PET and CT scans over the last few years. Phew! Still the same on the front, girls get weak legs... I reckon if you've got a big enough truck, and you keep the load organised with the important stuff at the front, then if, a little stuff, falls off the back, it's usually of no consequence. Those with short or disorganised trucks, may have a different experience. I can feel a meeting of the Sukhumvit Deep Along Anglers Club coming on in about Sept 2025
  6. I was worried I'd wake up speaking Russian.
  7. My only experience was that when one of the family wanted to buy gold, all the female members of the clan and half the neighbour women, would descend on the gold shop for an hour. All for a 1 baht bracelet or similar. They did think that Lao gold was superior to Thai, but I think that's national pride. Of course it's all sold by the same people and it could just as likely be "Moon Gold" if you asked them. Or chicken intestine gold, or... Re: the colour, possibly some gold is diluted, with a bit of silver, thereto making "Rosier" gold more desirable. But for me the interest, was always transferring a sum of money.
  8. I post the following in order that my experience may help someone with a similar affliction: I've just had a Metastatic Melanoma removed from within my left occipital lobe. About the size of a large grape, near the surface of the brain. Before shot - 5 days into recovery and I reckon I'm about 95% of what I was. Given that my stroke from 6 years ago left me with about 95%, I'm probably about 90.25% now. No pain, other than that of the large incision they make in the skin on the skull. So now I say, I'm talking through a hole in my head, and you say "Whats new?"
  9. Maggie Moore(s) (2023) Un-spectacular, amusing comedy, set around murder. Light-weight, but worth a watch.

    Just passing the joke/meme along, not one of mine, it woulda got corrected if I'd a made it. 🤪
  11. Megaupload pair jailed for their part in Kim Dotcom's online empire https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300905942/megaupload-pair-jailed-for-their-part-in-kim-dotcoms-online-empire
  12. Here is my top secret number that identifies my billions of crypto. 9849685498654f (redacted) 646847964687 and suddenly: 9849... it's gone, only 4 digits left. North Koreans stole it. https://www.aol.com/news/north-korean-hackers-stole-100-174737011.html
  13. Another one who thought rules didn't apply to him.
  14. Again, in general terms, people will have pocket full of Kip and Baht and USD as a matter of course. All very multi currency.
  15. All a valid argument. My post however, was aimed at trolls, running around with cameras trying to provoke a "Situation" so as to go "Viral" and then make the troll, famous for being a feckless you tuber. Lots of people now refer to them selves as being a Youtuber. a tangent: I saw a head line the other day, "Reality Coach sees prices peak..." I thought that this "Reality Coach" was some sort of new "Influencer" title. Turns out that the article the headline referenced, was about Real Estate Agents and prices. So much for Ai generated headlines.
  16. In general terms, Lao folk operate in Kip for small transactions, Baht for larger ones and especially Gold, and USD for bigger ones like Land. All interchangeable of course.

Hundreds attend church service generated by ChatGPT to find out. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/can-a-chatbot-preach-a-good-sermon-hundreds-attend-church-service-generated-by-chatgpt-to-find-out/ Job done. Hang on, a real one: God is real and all powerful, follow me, give money. Job done.
  19. Thai police have busted another robber. A Lao national accused of stealing gold worth approximately 1.8 million baht from his home country was apprehended at a luxury condominium in the Mueang district in Khon Kaen province. The suspect, 27 year old Thao Sirasorn, was arrested in the condominium’s car park on Friday evening. Authorities seized eight gold necklaces, each weighing around 5 baht, with a combined value of 1.2 million baht. They also confiscated 300,020 baht in cash, a travel bag, and a shoulder bag. The suspect was subsequently taken to Mueang police station. The arrest took place after Lao authorities informed the Provincial Police Region 4 that the suspect had fled to Khon Kaen following a robbery at a gold shop in Vientiane on Thursday. The stolen items amounted to 84 baht-weight of gold ornaments, valued at around 1.8 million baht, Bangkok Post reported. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/lao-man-arrested-in-thailand-after-42k-gold-shop-heist

  21. It's not just the Trumpanzees that are pulling apart the Fabric of America. It seems that now it's fair play, to follow people around (who presumably you don't like for their sexual or political views or race), and try and provoke them, to doing something in public, and then film them, to use as your "See I told you so" bull shit media presence. https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/brittney-griner-mercury-teammates-confronted-airport-provocateur-wnba-99987160
