  1. Gentlemen, I am in tears. Heart again broken.

    As per today January the 22.nd about 14:07 CET the extremely lovely Pam told me over the phone that she met man from America willing to marry her. ´Bout 30 years older but they truely love each other. 44 against 74 to be precise. I sincerely hope man from America is in good health because Madame if in good mood requires quite, well, you know what I mean. I wish them well, honestly. After thorough analysis the degree of sadness against relief stands at 5 to 95** as I am realising right now. We shall continue to do some occasional business ( strictly commercial ) and I am preliminarily glad to have no erotic commitments once in BKK next time. I already missed the peaceful moments reading the daily paper  in bed in the morning.

    I shall keep you posted. The lonely nights won´t last for ever I fear.

    ** Say 15 to 85

  2. They did a 99 years lease for an economically meaningless seaport on Southern Sri Lanka plus 60 square-kilometers around it. The target is strategical influence, time does not matter.

  3. This bridge perfectly fits into the Chinaman´s idea to find easy access to the Indian Ocean avoiding lengthy travel by sea. They do not mind packing further financial burdon on already overdepted units. It strengthens their influence and has been successful all over Africa for some time. As I have never built a bridge I am not sure about the size of the investment but it should not create major headaches in Beijing looking at the advantages.

    You are not missing much TBH

    This evaluation, dear Sir, I do not support. Not at all. Could say more but don´t.

    I have been following a German travel forum where many people with family or friends in Thailand discuss all aspects of getting into the country. One idea is to strenghthen tourism for obvious reasons and on the other hand falangs as usual are the ambassadors of anything that is evil. Pay for the holidays but stay home would be the ideal solution. Since I decided not to travel I feel somewhat relaxed, ticket prices for example April are on the way down already. We have to wait and see.

  5. Gentlemen ,

    with greatest pain possible I have today cancelled my forthcoming trip for the following reasons: Etihad let me know I had to wait 5 hours in Abu Dhabi from 03:00 in the morning for my connecting flight to Frankfurt. Oh no.  Second, the Thai people will incarcerate into quarantine any living subject that arrives in Siam and seems to be Covid positive . Which includes the possibility having been seated next to an infected person on the plane and though not positive still being a risk and facing same consequences. Pam´s heart broken already but there are limits.

  6. What is the opinion of our esteemed Australian members looking at the behaviour of famous tennisplayer Djocovic? Would the case happen in Germany I would strongly advise to send this idiot home as soon as possible. His father thinks he is Jesus. Or better,

  7. Khun Stick, if you please would refrain from questioning nonsense that Mr Mekong publishes. He would not give up til finding a Bangkok streetmap from 1834 to prove his point. No idea about this park myself of course. Good to see you are still alive, I bet you are as keen hitting the roads in Khrungthep as I am. All the best.

  8. As it happens just today 3 more powerplants shut down for ever, 3 left afterwards til 2022.

    Political decision from 2011 after the Fukushima desaster, people do not want them any more. Main reason being no solution for nuclear wastage and tecnical risk. There are powerplants 1 hour from here in Belgium which would have shut down here years ago due to unreliability, so nobody can escape really from this tecnology. End of coal powerplants 2038.

    The Guardians

    By:  John Grisham

    In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s. 

    Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence.  But no one was listening.  He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister.

    Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time.  Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated.

    They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought.

    Good, solid story. Fast moving and very entertaining.

    Gentlemen,

    I would not have placed a major sum on a bet that Cavanami can read at all but I was wrong. After I am through with my favorite writers like Wilbur Smith et al I did not really have a clue where to look. Reading great books ( paper only ) is of utmost importance for me so I was heading for a crisis til I found Cavanami promoting a guy named John Grisham. What a fantastic writer. Currently buzy with A Time for Mercy, can´t wait to collapse on my sofa tonight and read what happens next. Always the English version, translation destroys the works.

     

  10. Maybe 10 years ago gay people started outing themselves and now have become a normal part of daily life, almost nobody takes notice any more. But then it did not stop, because the "diverse" people have taken over. I am planning to establish another sub-division called the three-eared people, two visible and another one inside. Still thinking about a marketing plan.
